Happy 5th Birthday Disco Elysium.
Why not celebrate it with a podcast which answers questions like:
"What is the pale & what does it represent?"
"What was Disco Elysium 2 going to be about?"
"What is going on with Robert Kurvitz and Red Info?"
During the development of Disco Elysium the team found glitches which they thought had useful properties, you can see here that there is some sort of bug causing issues with the shadowing.
They actually liked this effect and intended to use it for the dream sequence.
I love the Thought Cabinet Art so much for two reasons:
1. Fucking look at it
2. It is a collection of each individual representation of the "Thoughts" in the game
Every inch of Disco Elysium is a ridiculously detailed example of world building perfection.
“What's it like to miss someone?”
“What's it *like*? Good. And bad. An ache that brings you joy."
He smiles warmly.
"I think of them a lot. I dream up these silly scenarios, in great detail. Of living with them... it comforts me."
The perception orb in the hotel bathroom was one of the earliest representations of how you interacted with the environment in Disco Elysium!
Words fail to describe how cool this concept art is…

“The woman gazes steadily at the waves.
A sudden gust picks up her dark hair and lets it fall again, tussled, wild.
She brushes a few stray locks from her eyes, and only then spots you approaching.”
#DiscoElysium
You know who I am. I am the bad day.
The one where you ask her, and then later in the streets, wandering...
It's the worst day of all time, Harry dear, and it's coming.
She will hear about it on the phone.
Introducing a Disco Elysium podcast: Human Can Opener, coming soon!
Aiming to interview esteemed members of the dev team & the Disco fandom I have some very exciting guests on the way!
Please be excited for Ep.1 with the legendary

I love this line at the start of Disco Elysium.
It’s basically explaining the concept of the game’s mechanics in one single sentence.
You are inside a man’s head.
And the result is this amazing trick of genius writing that you see your own thoughts as individual characters.
"That's why people like role-playing games. You can be whoever you want to be. You can try again. Still, there's something inherently violent even about dice rolls."
*MEGA EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT*
Disco Elysium narrator Lenval Brown is confirmed to be joining me on Human Can Opener.
Recording soon. Get your questions in the thread below and I'll try to include as many as I can in the podcast.

Early builds of No Truce With The Furies had a much more cartoony look, this was prior to the team implementing much of the 3D work and moving towards the gloomy, acid art style of Disco Elysium.

More cool Disco Elysium development content you say? No? Well you’re getting it!
This is an early and very different looking design for the Whirling In Rags first floor.
It was put together to demonstrate some lighting tests in the Fortress Occident dev blog.

Seriously how did we go from “Well I guess we’re lucky we got Disco Elysium at least” to “holy fucking shit Disco is ALIVE!” in the space of like what, less than 12 hours!? 🪩🤯
I can’t even articulate how happy I am today.
MOTORICS ISN’T A CRAP SKILL!
IT GIVES US FINGER PISTOLS, MYSTERIOUS EYES, ULTRA LIBERALISM, TELLING KIM ABOUT THE BWEEEEE SOUND, BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTIONS AND TELEPORTATION!
I’m just a fan like the rest of you. All I’ve ever really done is love the game in my own way just like everyone else, be it expressed through art, videos, or just chatting online.
I just finished nearly 2 hours of time with the narrator of Disco Elysium.
Dream come true stuff.

Newly announced studio Longdue includes developers who worked on Disco Elysium and its canceled sequel, and the studio says it is working on a spiritual successor to the beloved 2019 RPG.
As of today isn’t exciting enough.
This is a new studio from Disco Elysium folks Argo Tuulik, Dora Klindžić and organiser Aleksander Gavrilovic.
And for an amazing added bonus?
Argo Tuulik will be joining me on the podcast to talk about it soon!

I love this Esprit dialogue with Captain Pryce at the end of Disco Elysium.
Whatever version of Harry you are, and despite any failings as a human being he might be, he commands absolute respect from his superior officer because DuBois is a mother fucking super star cop 🪩
How many of you tried to discover the legendary cocaine skull in Disco Elysium?
This was one of many very amusing meta jokes in the game, this time poking some fun at the “allure” of DLC in games & how expensive it would be to offer such an incredible side adventure.
In Disco Elysium if you fail to save Kim in the tribunal, Harry becomes Mayor of Titty City and travels to the island alone.
Literally nobody on earth has ever seen this part of the game before, because they all save scum to make sure Kim makes it.
If an assault were launched on this building right now.
If the windows came crashing down.
This man would hurl himself in death’s way to save you.
You are sure of this.
He is your half brother.

If you conduct the autopsy without your ledger, you can use Kim’s notebook to fill the Autopsy form
Depending on how you’ve behaved, Kim’s notes will change. The fact they accounted for many variations in timing & context in this small interaction is incredible.

To all the Disco Elysium artists: Your work is amazing, I love seeing it, and I hope my reposts help you get more reach and even more adoring fans.
Never stop creating! This community worships you all 🎨 🧑🎨 👩🎨
Disco Elysium has so many insane and amusing factoids.
One of which being the unexpected inspiration for the idea of a cop that got so drunk he forgot everything.
Ridiculous early 00's stoner film - Dude, Where's My Car?

Yeah I think the trick of the Dolores conversation here isn’t that she says it, it’s what he thinks of himself, you’re in his dream after all, so this is all what Harry thinks of himself and of what her perception must be of him.

For a lot of my younger years my answer on Israel was “I’m not sure I understand enough about the geopolitical situation there to say” and I still don’t tbh.
But you don’t need that any more, and haven’t for a while now, they’re vile, inhumane cunts and that’s plain as day.
Did you know that Lena was intended to be an additional buddy in Disco Elysium?
She even remarks on how Martinaise isn’t very wheelchair friendly when you ask “how’d you like to roll with me?”
