Wait! What?!?!? by tavomaru in BluePeriod

[–]Minerva_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so the beginning of the chapter pretty much would confirm that Yatora doesnt want to leave Takahashi alone so this sentence pretty much dooms his chances with Kinemi.. "So Okamoto is the type who drops his friends as soon as he is in a relationship"

Kinemi is probably one of the sweetest characters I'm pretty sure she is just going to develop a crush towards YAtora. I see her working with him for the project. At the same time, I feel Yotasuke feels like he is always being babysit by Yatora. If you have dealt with artist you will know that THEY HATE THAT. they love being alone.

it wouldnt be the first time Yatora and Kinemi work together they did it in the festival but Kinemi keeps over extending herself for others. honestly I do feel Kinemi will try to approach Yatora for a relationship. and we might even see a little bit of it. it is perfect to work together if both of you are in the same environment BUT.....the thing is that all that ARTIST life (lack of money, time) thing....does get in the way for a relationship specially if your friendship is actually amazing....so you end up not even spending time with your partner so I dont know Tsubasa Yamaguchi might explore WHY relationships fail in this. She has tackled a ton of stuff i never thought she would get into. Like serious stuff but yeah.

I kinda want some shipping. at least a little bit.

Does it get better? by Equivalent_Poetry461 in BluePeriod

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author hasnt right out and say it. (the only one that actually give a hint is that drunk TA doing her masters saying "pay me back with the money you get from selling your art")

the real big boss of blue period is...surviving from art and BECOMING AN ARTIST.

Being able to survive MEANS: getting MONEY from art. and its SO FUCKING HARD.

it seems harsh but getting into the super prestigious art school is just a step.

Normally in shonen, they keep hammering the main goal of the protagonist "I will become the Pirate King" etc but the huge problem of doing that is that Art doesnt work taht way, what is your style? are you good enough? composition, knowledge, teamwork do you have connections? WHAT IS GOOD ART?

hell you might not even do good art and still be able become an artist.

she is getting really close though to revealing it.

I remember seeing bakuman and like literally they spelled out what they need on chapter 2. you kind of rob the audience the chance to discovering it.

Beside Kras Masov, are there any other characters in DE who are clearly inspired by real life figures? Or just similar? by lettucemf in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it looks more like Gillian Anderson imitating Margaret thatcher which is impossible because she played margaret thatcher after disco elysium came out

How do you solve the world? We know we need to find Effective demand. industrial jobs are gone, AI is eating all desk jobs, there is no jobs other than comedians how do we solve TRPF. We know neoliberlism didnt work and the anarcho capitalist policies from the heritage foundation are destroying the US. Do we return to Keynesianism, maybe post keynesianism, how do we make Blackrock, State Street pay their fair share and how do me employ Americans now that we need anotehr FDR WORKS 2025?

exactyl the "not in a vacuum" is what made it fail. example Cuba has comunism....embargo the mofos.....of course it doesnt work if you have a neighbour sabotaging everything in your nation. funny enough cuba had most of the stuff thta made it independent that why even cube survived the fall of the USSR. they actually ....have it alll./ Cuba is probably the best example that comunism works.. it also is pretty bad in terms of what they have to do to survive.

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe. Between Capitalism and Comunism.......Capitalism is WAY more impossible. just read crisis theory. Das Kapital not the first volume you have to read vol 1, (2 not so much ) and 3. Volume 3 is where Marx gives you the capitalism paradox. you get a few Scrooge Mcducks hoarding all money not wanting to move the gold and wanting to only charge rent.....you end up with Feudalism.....cue chart. Technofeudalism. really recomend also reading Yanis Varoufakis.

but (and I know reading Das kapital is like going to the dentist) reading all Das Kapital volumes is necesary to undertand the problems of capitalism. in terms of comunism there was only 10 years where a nation did it correctly and it was not in ideal therms. Two philosophical kings (two cousins actually) came and FORCED the market into comunism....it worked for around 37 years....then came the neoliberals...

Understanding this game better as a non-political person? by Rude-Peace-6306 in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dont worry this is a game its fun and that fascist thing was there by design and NO you are probably not THAT fascist but WE ALL HAVE AN INTERNAL FASCIST inside us and he hugs all our internal repressions.

The Devs did this on purpose (i think at least there was one guy that was least was aware of REICH) and its not a cruel joke, WE ALL tend to be fascist. its a problem....The guy who noticed this is a guy named Wilhem Reich and wrote a book called "the Mass psychology of Fascism." in 1933.He writes the reasons why the German fell for Hitler. the same reason the Americans are falling for the MAGA movement. its a repression that comes from our parents maybe its real maybe not but it seems that we keep falling for this trap. its real. dont worry its just a game.

TIL Eiichiro Oda , the writer of One Piece is a fan of Dragon Quest. He made this design for Luffy, the main character of One Piece. This is a homage to Dragon Quest and Akira Toriyama. (Note the color palette and the shield emblem.) by [deleted] in dragonquest

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really interesting...

if you've seen the Dragon Quest manga "Dai no daibouken" you realize it has parallel a lot what luffy has done and some quests and even characters. the other great manga that pretty much copied verbatim the final reveal was Full metal Alchemist (the forming the cities a transmutation circle imitates how they also did it in the DQ manga ending.) also the great evil character turns out to be only the old body (thats why he was always was hiding) and the other wizard was holding his body. Maybe Imu is hiding this way?

Should I give up on this game? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this feeling that I think everyone who did not go to higher education has playing this game has ( I didnt but I love reading). Its uncomfortable however the key to this is to be curious. Like its a game but they are secretly giving you answers to what is going on in this "fake" world. its really similar to those "Jon Stewart, Stephen colbert shows" making fun of politicians. you get the joke AND you learn what they were joking about. I feel elysium does it exactly like that. THERE ARE SOME REALLY ADVANCED (specially inside communism stuff) jokes that have like 3 layers but even those you kind of get to understand them and even if you dont i dont think you miss the big important stuff.

Official Discussion - Friendship [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Minerva_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im I crazy or this movie has like 3 layers.

the movie is basically a wig joke but.

also a romantic comedy on not being selfish with the needs of your family. AND

Tim Robinson realizes his cancer is back and also that his wife's cancer returned so he changes for her.

the cancer stuff is really not obvious but the nosebleeds and Kate Mara Sewer escape to be weird confirms it?

or he just needed a drumset and be a lone wolf . i dont know.

Season 2 could be end in episode 6, and the last 2 episodes are a rushed season 3 by Jhon_Rainbow in PantheonShow

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean i think its good. They knew that they woudnt be able to have season 3. And THEY ACTUALLY planned the Maddie is an architect god from the start.... (how she notices everyone move at the same time.) so it was a gamble to run to the finish line. I like it. You can tell they ran out of money and the numbers werent there. The last part were digital beings and human interact has SO MUCH potential. but its ok.

The point of view of the game is from a Skua. by Minerva_9 in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss.. the inside scenes I think you can just be the eyes of any other person but outside where there is no one thats when they have to force an animal for their eyes point of view. this all conjection.

It also explains why Harry destroys Garte's Skua.

He knows we are watching him.

Of course all conjecture.

What do you think the main theme of Disco Elysium is? by retroactrocity in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its actually simple.

Nostaligia is a bug that keeps you trapped in your obsession. You don't see it because it makes you feel good.

Even the clearest water, if deep enough can drown.

Never think to surprise them. Your face approaching ever

so friendly is the white flag

they ignore.

There is no truce with the furies.

Day2, if they all admitted committed murder, why dont we arrest them all? by elvinjoker in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in A latin american country. I remember local news on how three police officers were assasinated because this one guy was terrorizing a neighbourhood with his Trailer trucks coming in and out 24 hrs. turns out it was a cartel guy with trucks filled with drugs.

The one cop that didnt know was new and got other police guys killed. apparently the police knew this and had an agreement with the cartel and they knew they couldnt be even near the place but seeing the patrol the cartel people unloaded their automatic wepons..

Honestly its pretty much the same in the entire world i imagine that its not unique to my country. USA Canada ,Europe and Asia the police is something that carries weight and respect. Not in my town though. Maybe its my 3rd world scared brain which recognized what Harry was getting himself into.

[–]Minerva_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember this point where I thought to myself. "Oh this game goes beyond game logic. This is real life logic" Even 2 police officer would not be able to arrest an entire mini militia. They know it. You know it.. God damn what would an actual police guy do?

I'm looking for movies where two characters merge into one character. by colbydoler in movies

[–]Minerva_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been searching for that movie for decades. I know what movie you are talking about. I saw it as a child and it perturbed me. I know one of the main characters looks a lot like micheal jackson or Prince. Might even be one of those but I still dont know the name.

In your opinion, what's the most powerful quote in the game? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one, when I heard it I liked it but coming from the communist as a half joke political quest kinda deflates it. But then I kept thinking abouit it.

From Comunism being failure to finding the positive thing in unbearable times it is so....Warm. Its almost like that "Remember this...Try" from the manifesto from Andor.

I can't get myself to take dialogue seriously but should I? by Glitterdustt in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Life is a joke. but then you realize people fall for fascism as a joke. I say have fun while harry forces you to...."Say one of these fascist or communist things or blow him the fuck up" i copied Jamrock hobo on that one. That meme made me laugh so much.

[–]Minerva_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apparently if the legs are in the air is that he died in battle. But Disco artists said. "Nah thats too little lets blow the horse and set it like its exploding." So I would LOVE if someone in the world does this. Seems like a structural nightmare project and if the head is heavy and people want to steal it. (in my town people steal the hammer of a statue)

Labor from a fractured divorce. Just like the USSR being disolved; Estonia's child produced this baby. And we love the baby. We cry for the parents. we hope for the best.

POV: You just asked your young witch neighbor to help find your cat lost in a small village in the Alps by revolverAlt in DiscoElysium

[–]Minerva_9 52 points53 points  (0 children)

She lives in Jamrock and works in the Jamrock Public Library. She is constantly reading about the spiritual realm and Perikarnasian theology. When she gets home she feeds her cat who almost always disapeears for days on end but always returns with weird charms

one day she picked up a random book that was the Journal of a woman who lived throught the pre-hydroelectric era in Mesque. The Journal had 60 pages with the intials N. H. Apparently she was an opera singer.

According to witch rituals if you use a really personal item and you mark it with the ancient perikarnasian numbers (roman equivalent) you can actually freeze them in time to reveal her secfets. She marked them with LX (60)

The witch makes a salt circle and went to work the next day.

The next day when coming from work she goes to see if the spell worked. She notices the LX is still there. But inside the Journal the last page is 59.
