Kasparov The fuck does Cuno care, but where is the high res scan of that Thought Cabinet art you were teasing us with?

It would make a good diversion from looking at your mom all the time.

Nice way to sell Measurehead to the twitterati though.

Measurehead doesn't make sense. He uses "scientific racism" language while also throwing in terms from genetics. The latter obsoletes the former.
Nah, mate. Haploautism is a serious medical condition nowadays, particularly on /pol/.

Does this imply that ingame racial terms are connectible to real-world races by means of this "haplogroup" stuff? I need to boot Windows to check.

Also, does "haploautism" refer to the idiots who believe in this haplogroup stuff?

it's just funny cuz I'm a left winger (more of a leftist than a liberal to be fair) and I'm like wut how did you get this interpretation, where did this interpretation come from

What's the proper term for the non-SJW-identity-politics left these days?

Pretty sure they got it from the loading screen where the game tells you people tend to be more forgiving of erratic behavior when it comes from authority figures like police officers. But that was just Disco giving the player permission to go crazy, not a subtle meditation on the nature of privilege.

I'd be pretty fucking alarmed seeing a drunk cop doing erratic stuff. Call the precinct and stuff. It offends my versimillitude.

Standin' pretty. In this dust that was a city.

That's the point. You can even challenge his ideas about criminal jawline, his origins, history of alcohol and several others and he just ignores them. He's just a stuck up idiot spouting big words to feel smart, a parodic character.

Wouldn't be a noir tale without all the cool characters dragging on fags constantly. Harry, balcony swish, the femme fatale. Even otherwise dorky straight-edge Kim gets his fag on in the evenings for +1 style points.

That would've been more effective as just "Welcome to Revachol." Let him discover the meaning by himself...

Finally finished it, 2019's only :5/5: game. Everything I heard was true: best writing ever, amazing atmosphere, best worldbuilding in video game history. And the best part Kurvitz knew when to end it and how without dragging their story out like so many other games.

Dico Elysium 2 should be about Du Buis and Kitsuaragi finding Cryptids, that scene at the end was just pure magic. :love:
Though I would also love to see them make a real RPG and less of an Adventure/RPG hybrid at some point.

Finished it yesterday.
Great game, the unique setting and atmosphere, the writing that is really, really good and capable of shifting from hilarious and silly to tragedy and heartbreaking moments (but also some pretty nice ones from time to time), the characters that are again written very well, not just the main ones but also pretty much every NPC you can encounter has its identity and is capable of standing out, some may appear a bit bland at first glance but then you can discover a lot of interesting stuff that really adds depth to each of them, and especially the best thing is that each of them is deeply human. And also Martinaise is kind of its own character, the place feels alive and has a history of its own that you can learn by talking to the right people, passing skill checks, etc.
The artstyle is amazing too, best looking isometric RPG out there together with PoE2 (for different reasons).

I posted some days ago when I was about halfway through and I said it was shaping to be the RPGOTY and I can confirm it now: definetely the best rpg of the year, also one of the best of the last years as well imo.
I've read a bit over this and the spoiler thread and I agree with some of the criticism that has been made about the last part of the game, but still I think the game is amazing and I've also liked a lot of the last chapters too, although it is true that it gets more linear and that there could be some improvements here and there. But then again, what game is perfect?
Hope the game sells well and that we can see other rpgs from these Estonian commies in the future. :salute:
