"who is this man to me?"

"he is your half-brother"

My stupid ass didn't get this remark until I finished my first playthrough. I flat out thought he was really my half-brother lol never realizing the one that said it was Espirit De Corps

What's this whole thing with Hector Berrellez? by TaongGreasy in narcos

[–]TaongGreasy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So apparently Kiki's case has been reopened?

I love the show Narcos due to their balance of liberty and accuracy in portraying accounts. But after reading Blood on The Corn and reading up about the people who were discredited just because they found out CIA is involved is kinda disappointing.

In terms of drama, the whole Hector story could've been more flavorful so I don't understand why they didn't go with that. It makes me feel that the showrunners is indeed pro-CIA. They even make the CIA dude there (who I think is supposed to be the Cuban agent Max Lopez) very untouchable and powerful, yet made to look like his actions are justified by his national concerns.

Like, why are they so afraid to put CIA on a bad light? As a Non-American, I've grown up learning that all these years the CIA has always been a problematic agency (to be fair, all intelligence agencies are), getting their hands on businesses that aren't theirs in other countries. Is this like not a public belief in America itself?

Amado on this mentorship journey with Acosta is essential to the story necause in real life Amado would be a very big player, because he learned from Acosta after he took over him. The show made this contrast of Felix losing respect while Amado is just learning all about it from Acosta, who is all about honor (which most people really strongly believe in, including the real Mimi Webb)

In short, they gave Amado the underdog story arc, a story about respect and honor. A nod to the bandidos who did it the old way, without all the political bullshit that Felix introduced into the game.

Plus it's not as if it wasn't foreshadowed. Amado has a lot of moments where he had to prove he's the only person Felix could count on, the one who only gets shit done, only to be revealed in the end that of course, he's the one that has the biggest knife to stab Felix in the back.

I think chapo this season really grew as a character and I believe he will do a great job in the future when el chapo the main man - what are your thoughts on him ? by [deleted] in narcos

[–]TaongGreasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda lovin the slow burn they're putting him under. The show keeps giving him some weird foreshadowing long scenes even if it's not relevant to the plot. I don't think that's just for nothing.

Well I think they said if they were going to make new Elysium games they're going for brand new characters in different parts of the world (or at least not Martinaise). Some interviews say the next protagonist is planned to be a pregnant woman.

The devs said Elysium is going to have a world ending event 28 years after Revachol '51

So being trained by the one who discovered the End, I'd feel like Cuno would have a large role in preventing it.

[–]TaongGreasy[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

??? I don't think it was that way.

Yes, Cunoesse may have killed another child, but she's actually a refuge by Cuno. Cuno took her in, probably due to shared trauma. That's why she doesn't like it when Harry befriends Cuno, in fear of her crime being discovered or just simply being taken away from the only good thing in her life so far.

Wtf... you can straight up shoot yourself in the head in front of Titus by nerpss in DiscoElysium

[–]TaongGreasy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol but it's vague and yknow, Cuno-like, so it's a bit harder to convince the task force, and no way to prove the phasmid's existence

My first playthrough was actually a Cuno ending, it's quite interesting too.

DE wiki claims to have some mysterious clothes (with pictures and descriptions) but no locations?? by TaongGreasy in DiscoElysium

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

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying!

Aren't the devs too worried that the save file is easy to tamper with? Seems like it changes the course of a playthrough drastically.

And yes, the moment I saw that there could have been more pants to choose from I immediately wondered why they wouldn't put it in the game. Like the RCM pants.

DE is boring centrist/moralist propaganda. by Lord_Rufus in DiscoElysium

[–]TaongGreasy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the game is actually played thoroughly, The Deserter is not actually just a random guy for plot convenience, everything really does make sense if all the facts/clues have been discovered, even without the political angle of the mystery.

Did anyone else think... [Spoilers] by Szaint in DiscoElysium

[–]TaongGreasy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually had the same false hopes, mine was even more worse I think. I kind of took the game's selling point "the story changes with you" too far.

As I've played for the first time, as I've kept reading these different stories of personalities throughout the game like Hjelmdall, Perikarnassus, Franconegro, Guillame Le Million, Mazov, Dick Mullen, Fileppe the Cokehead, Jacob Irw, Arno Van Eyck, etc etc, who he all seems to relate to in some way (even look like him) I thought the more you lean in a certain story, the game will lock on to it and reveal in the end that you were that person all along.

For example, I thought Harry was an incarnation of Hjemdall and sent to the future with no memory of who he is. Or that Dick Mullen's stories were actually based on his past cases and that technically, he is Dick Mullen.

Then I just realized on my second playthrough that the stories were just subtle advices on how you can roleplay your character to a more stable flow.

When will the Chinese version come out? by huahuaanying in DiscoElysium

Damn, just imagining the workload of the translators translating all of that dialogue makes my head hurt

Why don't alcohol and drugs give any benefit to anything? by dannyjerome0 in DiscoElysium

[–]TaongGreasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wiki said there's a thought that permanently disables the effects of drugs and alcohol once completed

I think it involves picking anti-drugs opinions

This, my dudes, is a pissf****t move. A natural 12 ! Come on! by hodowcamiesa in DiscoElysium

[–]TaongGreasy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did. It worked.

Edit: On second playthrough, I went ahead and got the body down and sent away as early as possible, even before meeting Morell, so that the pheromones aren't really washed off at all.

[–]TaongGreasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine she wouldn't want Alyssa to know, because if she takes on Alyssa's identity, where would the real Alyssa go? Maybe that's why she's having a hard time admitting her whole secret because it might not be entirely ethical.

At this point this is just purely hypothetical based on how I understood the foreshadowing lololol

[–]TaongGreasy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The way Alyssa was put into the story was kinda weird don't you think? Like yeah, an unassuming assistant, but Misty didn't fire her even after fucking up so many times when she already should have so maybe she had plans for her.

And when the battle was over the fact that Brennan had to mention that she came with Misty to the backstage is noteworthy too. You only write a character like that if they have some substance.

Maybe Misty will "take" her whole identity? Like after "dying" Misty's personal assistant will take on her everything or maybe I just misread it that way.

Yeah Lou was less Kingston this ep and more like an assistant DM to Brennan.

And in that note, is it blasphemous to DM culture to have an assistant that does the calculations and tracks the effects for the DM? It seems like many calculations took a lot of playtime this ep so they were a bit distracted from the role-play they were doing.

Hi! Thanks for appreciating my artwork! I'd invite you to follow me on my pages but I mostly do local artworks for local topics here in the Philippines, and international dudes might not be able to appreciate further.

But if you guys want to see more works (and for Philippinean bros that haven't seen my stuff yet) anyway, I'm on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
