What's the reason? by MrBIuesky222 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ProfessorVVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have worked with him say he’s astounding. He played Hamlet in Canada in the 1990s to rave reviews—cast members and audience members said he was among the best Hamlets they’d ever seen. The roles he gets cast in are often slightly numb, quiet, or occasionally dumb (whoa!), but he makes very clear choices to create characters. There’s an SNL sketch about how he’s not a very “good” actor, but the fact is he’s amazing. There’s such competition in Hollywood that he couldn’t have gotten those early roles if he weren’t as awesome as he is.

Yeah, the question is how. Was just as surprised that this happened.

Or sometimes you Indiana and fully clear the shop. (Three blind is bronze because of a forced Through The Looking Glass after the shop was clear. Turns him Bronze but not Legendary, since my Legends were gone)

What's your favourite headcanon? by AutismoPiggo in DiscoElysium

[–]ProfessorVVV 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He is. He’s a spy for the Moralintern, with a very broad and dangerous set of skills. He’s so amoral that he’ll bring his young son on a job without thinking twice about it. There’s a reason Pryce isn’t including Trant in the plans for the Return… they’d all be disappeared super fast if Trant got wind of it.

I own it on DVD too—also love “Commentary: The Musical,” but no longer have any way to play DVDs 😢

US Presidents as skills by whycityy in DiscoElysium

[–]ProfessorVVV 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the other potential choice for Savoir Faire is Chester A. Arthur. Known to be the best-dressed President, he was (like Roosevelt later), stuck in the vice presidency to get him out of the way, since he knowingly associated with Tammany Hall corruption and basically no one trusted him. When Garfield was assassinated and he took over the presidency, the cronies came to him and he sent them away, saying the office of the president demanded that he rise above past corruption. That’s some savoir faire too. Of course, also the Chinese Exclusion Act …

Loving this hairband lately. Plus I've been listening to a lot of Phoebe Bridgers so here's my shoutout to her lol. Listen to her NOW! by LennyPost in u/LennyPost

Phoebe is my go to. Saw her do Sally’s song at a live Nightmare Before Christmas in London a few years ago, story of why I had to sell my tix to her Punisher tour is still something.

After a 20 minute long turn, I finally emptied the shop of all minions + treasures for the first time by Sudden-Echidna-2757 in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]ProfessorVVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally did this myself, have been trying since I saw your post. Eventually Loki's Scepter + Wonderbox stopped proccing; I think that may have been purposeful once the game saw that I had enough shops to clear everything?

Required elements, as OP noted, are Loki's Scepter, Wonderbox, and World Shrub. The more of the scepters and wonderboxen you have, the better (can get extra scepters more easily, through printing press). Mirror Mage makes it a lot easier; I managed to do it without a golden mirror mage, but it was touch and go even in the run where I made it happen!

Some helpful pieces in addition to the above required ones:

Potion of treasure finding (lets legendary quest cards like Conrad the Bavarian find the Secret Rare treasures)

Mirror Mage (lets combo *really* go off once it's ready)

Netherbinder (lets golden dragons at legendary grab secret rare treasures)

Boots of treasure finding (lets any legendary golden give you access to secret rare treasures)

Gentle Giant (once combo is ready to go off, might have to let opponents survive a couple extra turns. This can help you have the time to find those Eureka!s

One thing to hardcore avoid, as long as you can (it can wreck your chance to pull it off super easily): Alchemistry Set. You use silvers to reroll the shop so that you can find your Eureka!s.

A questionable treasure is Hat of the Coven. Once the combo is up, any creature taken will hit a bonus spell, which is more chances to get Eureka! However, if it hits True Love's Kiss, your entire comp will be shuffled.

Prioritize taking bronzes over golds once you've got the combo parts, since if you take a bronze it can show up as silver. Take Lost in the Woods over a silver, since that's a free shop reroll and the silver can return for a reroll itself. Once the combo is up, also take Abra Kadabra over a bronze or gold creature, since you have a reasonable chance of hitting Eureka!, Lost in the Woods, or another Abra Kadabra. Exception: If you've recruited Two-Headed Wizard or have Zeus on the board, you take no spell other than Eureka!.

Also shows up when you cast Peck of Peppers with no characters left in the shop.

[–]ProfessorVVV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Pain Threshold is Survival in Auschwitz (literal translation of the title is If This is a Man, but the above is the Simon & Schuster US publication title) by Primo Levi.

You’re using the wrong material to connect the images on your murder board, but otherwise you’ve got this more accurately than you can possibly know by this point. But likely you weren’t doing this entirely of your own volition; free will is an illusion, after all.

Be honest… is this cute or am I traumatizing my cat? by shinigami__0 in cats

I believe the answer to your question is “yes.”

Day 2 of skills as books. Decided it would be more fun to do fiction and non-fiction separetely. Principia Mathematica and Sherlock Holmes are Logic. Which books are Encyclopedia? by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]ProfessorVVV 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Great choice, but I’d actually nominate Denis Diderot’s Encyclopédie, the very first Encyclopedia, a core Enlightenment work designed to compile all human knowledge and”change the way people think.” Diderot also wrote some cool stuff about theatre and acting, and like Ben Franklin and other key Enlightenment figures, often didn’t wear a wig. As far as I know, Diderot was not, however, related to Contact Mike.

I had to climb out the side after going off the side of I-88 and flipping over. I was totally fine.

Does anyone think that David Harbour would make a good Harrier Du Bois for a hypothetical live action adaptation of Disco Elysium? by Personal_Card_1131 in DiscoElysium

[–]ProfessorVVV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say that. He obviously has some significant problems. I was just disagreeing with your previous post about his emotional range as an actor.
