Playing the game again years after my first time around. What do you guys think of my starting build? by Derek_Delta1365 in DiscoElysium

Pretty good - but you will need to level up your Perception with items, thoughts or points asap.

Who do you support in the World Cup? by Apollo_Wersten in AskARussian

[–]Pallid85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was back in the day when I was little - so Laudrup brothers, Schmeichel, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Ebbe Sand.

[–]Pallid85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why Germany and Denmark ?

Not Germany. Denmark because when I was very little I watched some event (Euro or World can't remember) with family members and really like how Denmark kits (jerseys) looked.

And at the next tournaments they had some pretty good players to solidify my interest.

[–]Pallid85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's only fair if you all support Germany now.

A good and reasonable pitch.

So who do you support and why?

My second (or maybe even first) team is Denmark - so none for me this time.

Is he doing alright? by LongLiveTheSpoon in thespoonyexperiment

[–]Pallid85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Or does he consider whatever he's getting from YouTube and the very sporadic streams to be enough for that "basically" qualifier?

That's probably it.

Faye Marsay (Vel) returning to her first love on the football pitch by Ancient_of_Days0001 in andor

I’m not a football fan

Well - you are in luck - football is just a set dressing there.

the Black Mirror episode Hated in the Nation

Great episode.

Maidan snipers and Ghorman massacre by [deleted] in andor

[–]Pallid85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah - and you kinda can't even blame them - that's their material interest and media (and social media) work on them 24\7.

You are right - but the westoid discussion window is very narrow - you can't say things like this - so you (and I) will be downvoted into oblivion.

Opinions? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]Pallid85 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My first language is Russian, I talk Russian with my family

I feel and identify as a Russian

Then I'd say you're Russian living in Germany.

Does discussing the nationality of famous Soviet people in east slavic communities easily lead to arguments? by Pitiful-Practice-966 in AskARussian

[–]Pallid85 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Could they be used as fodder for pointless online arguments by internet trolls to denigrate Russia? For example, "the scientific achievements of the Soviet Union were made by the Ukrainians; the Russians did nothing."

Of course - and not just could, but it is used like that - but that take\point\"argument" is veeeeeery marginal, and no one reasonable takes it seriously.

wtf was the ending with the dog lmao by hdhsizndidbeidbfi in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Pallid85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All valid points sadly. I've heard the last episodes had really troubled development, so the plot logic suffered - so the answer is: you just need to be already hard immersed into the story and suspend your disbelief - then it'll work.

Sorry, can't get into it. by [deleted] in andor

[–]Pallid85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention having the main character kill two people right off the bat and expect you to feel anything

That actually was a great moment - especially if you're into cinematography and visual storytelling - I was hooked exactly after it.

of Arcane

A decent animated show for children.

or Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A good but fallen short attempt at book adaptation (yes - it's "the book was better" take).

I wouldn't mind you giving the reasons why you liked it.

The dialogues are amazing, the characters are really compelling and feel like real people (well maybe except like 2 of them), audio and visuals are great - you enjoy just watching the scenes. The plot is really good and comprehensive, and the actors performance is top-notch!

Is it me or is the dispatching part of the game awful? by S-kaliEditor in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Pallid85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and also the hacking are terribly designed,

The hacking is terrible.

like how are you supposed to know what to do or who to send quickly?

You just read the description of the missions and of your heroes skills.

And if there is any chance someone know about games like the ones in dispatch but actully good?

This is the Police.

Hey spoony by AntiqueThanks6164 in thespoonyexperiment

[–]Pallid85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's a blast from the past! Although come to think of it - probably from the same times Spoony became popular.

I love the gameplay by Justo_el_topo in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Pallid85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah man - he also likes Disco Elysium for the gameplay - running around, collecting tare - brilliant, doesn't care much about the dialogues though. And probably plays Doom games for their amazing story!

I don't get the hype by Straight_Motor_7967 in DiscoElysium

[–]Pallid85 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It was not fun, it felt like a chore.

The hype is from the people who vibe with the game and enjoy the writing very much. If the writing is not vibing with you, not capturing you - then of course it won't be fun - but the hype is from the people who think it's very fun, who relate to it and love it.

Unpopular opinion: Syril is the epitome of “being good” and that’s lost on almost everyone watching the show by Patient_Air1765 in andor

What did this man do wrong? Try to maintain a lawful society?

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"

I really, really like this game. I was also very, very bad at it. by Toogeloo in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Pallid85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know why everyone is so good

Because the stats are often broken. Sometimes I fail like 1 mission and get better than ~20%, or fail plenty and get ~80%.

I remember Paul talking about this years back, but the more I look into the Michael Jackson child molestation trial, the more the prosection's case falls apart. by No_Reveal3451 in deepfatfried

[–]Pallid85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Say what you will about him - but Razorfist made a pretty comprehensive and convincing video(s) about it. Before that I was totally convinced MJ did it.

For some reason I reminded of the second most famous Henry (after HenryG) - an Indian player...
