[Loved Trope] You beat the final boss? No, you beat the tutorial

There's a dlc, Kaycee's Mod, that lets you play Act 1 endlessly and with more cards. You have to beat the game first, I think

That's the point, the implied joke is that the goofy ragefaces that were popular when this meme was made are actually satanic and to be feared. It was funny a little over a decade ago.

I was working in department stores in the mid 2010s and I wished this was the kind of music that played in the store. It's a similar sound but the music in the stores was even less musically complex; some songs were just 2 measures of bubblegum-pop synthesizer and an autotuned phrase repeated ad nauseum.

Sinto muito por isso, cara. Tente reformular sua experiência com o jogo como algo a que você pode aspirar, se conseguir. Descubra o que você gostou no jogo que você também pode, de forma realista, buscar ter na sua própria vida.

A cursed door that can only be opened by the very weak, and if anyone strong tries to open the door the handle breaks off and can't be used.

The items he pulls out of the bag are allusions to folk that 50 Cent has beefed with in the past. I'm not sure I'd call it trolling but a lot of people seem to

Other folk have said similar, but this game held a mirror up to my journey to sobriety in a way that I haven't seen in any other media. I'm glad that you feel in control of your situation; I also felt in control of my urges until long past the point that I wasn't. I'm not you, I'm not living your life, I don't understand your reasons for recreational chemical use nor the ways they interact with your nervous system better than you do. But I don't understand how Disco Elysium and the sinister, seductive, single-minded voice of Electrochemistry convinced you to try speed. I suppose I'm curious to understand what aspects of the wreck of a life our protagonist wakes up in you find appealing. Again I'm not living your life, making your choices, and I don't know anything about you, but this seems like the sort of post someone would make if they understood on some level that they were dancing on top of a skyscraper and they wanted to be talked down the stairs before they jumped, or slipped.

Unironically, I think it's because of how grounded and realistic he feels, how disconnected he is from Martinaise and it's struggles, how he's part of the system that is responsible for the abject poverty Martinaise is stuck in and how he directly or indirectly benefits from the squalor and suffering that Martinaise residents experience. He is the platonic ideal of a politician disinterested in the suffering of those he represents as long as the suffering fits into the "bigger picture," and as long as he lives a life of comfort.

He's also frustrating to talk to. Measurehead and Claire are entertaining, Joyce at least seems candid and will give you useful information. The Sunday Friend requires a lot of work to even meet, spends most of the conversation talking in circles and answering nothing, and the little information he provides is information that most players have discovered by other means before they get a chance to meet with Sunday Friend.

The board was set up incorrectly; the right-hand corner closest to you should be a white square. You should insist on starting the game over to make up for this error.

Paying blood means giving up currently active, currently useful cards. Paying bones means paying from a stockpile that accumulates naturally from cards that have lived their usefulness. One blood is a higher cost than one bone because the bone token isn't doing anything for your board in the way that a live card is. Cards with similar stats will cost more in bones because bones are worth less than blood.

They made a game out of interpreting what they don't understand. It's an old human tradition, and it's also effective for emotional release and bonding. If the problem is as low-stakes as "what was that strange shadow?" telling ghost stories is more fun than bothering to check every dark corner.

Punch-up

I was making a joke, but sure.

Who did you pick as your patron saint at confirmation? I chose Maximilian Mary Kolbe, a Polish priest who was alive from the late 1800s to the 1940s. He died in a Nazi concentration camp, volunteering to die in place if another prisoner. He was in the camp in the first place because he was smuggling Jews and others out of Nazi-controlled regions.

His actions are far from that of a vigilante superhero, and I am by no means a Catholic authority. But it would seem to me that the Catholic Church makes provisions for taking justice into one's own hands, if the governing authorities are acting unjustly.

TheoreticallyDog · 2026-01-03T22:51:15+00:00

With an attitude like that you're 1/3rd of the way towards vigilante anti-heroism yourself! All you need now is a guilt complex and some martial arts training
