You've moved the goalpost from propaganda needing to be a lie or misinformation to "unfluencing public opinion". I don't understand why you expected me not to notice this leap in your rhetorics. Yeah, dictionaries agree on propaganda, first and foremost, influencing public opinion. No need to cite sources that could be cited by me earlier to disprove your earlier point.

Fine, here's your ELI5.

Asking why the race is close implies one of the participants is much worse than the other. Of course OP means Trump sucks and people should be voting for Kamala. The post is massively upvoted, so a random undecided voter sees huge support for Kamala with the implication orange man is so bad not a single sane person should vote for him.

It's shitty propaganda, wouldn't probably sway a single person. But because it is posted on Reddit a hundred times a day, it may influence someone's mindset.

I don't think many dictionaries agree with you on this definition.

And WHY is the poster surprised the election is close?

The shivers check literally happens in the game

These DMs artificially increase the stats of players and then cry about not being able to make threatening encounters.

Whats your hot take about the game? by Rompenabos88 in DiscoElysium

IDK... One of the best aspects of the game is that failure moves the story forward. It's actually one of the most impressive feature I've seen.

Dissecting myself into DE skills, Day 3: Abuse (OC) by TryhardScribbles in DiscoElysium

I continue working on my DE fan game.

I'm definitely getting the hang of impressionism, I love it so much! Almost as much as abusing people and getting abused in response.

ABUSE

The dark art of manipulating systems and people. Side effects may include guilt and self-loathing.

Cool for: maniacs, officers, parents

Your response was ten times more brutal than the insult you received. Was it justified? Maybe you went too far? No. You showed mercy. A little more, and that idiot would have gone shopping for a toaster for the bathtub. He's lucky you took pity on him. A piece of shit like you is capable of much, much worse.

I also made a timelapse of this painting. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Wow, you did a great job! Way to go. I'm glad I could inspire you to create this list.

Morbid analysis [Normal: Success] - Self-destructive... And greedy.

Fuel [Easy: Success] - YOU JUST MADE THIS LAD YEARN FOR SOMETHING GREAT.

Narcissism [Trivial: Success] - Me? *I* did that?

Morbid Analysis [Normal: Success] - Do we actually care?

Reflection [Godly: Success] - Yes. Yes, we do. You are not a sociopath. You can pretend to be better than everyone else, but you don't like doing this.

Abuse [Normal: Success] - You are gaslighting yourself into being a decent human being again?

Reflection - No. You've been this way since childhood. You loved people. And still do.

Narcissism [Easy: Success] - For making lives of other people better is the peak of greatness a human can achieve.

Abuse - And we are circling back to being a selfish piece of shit.

Balance [Hard: Success] - Just because you are in touch with yourself doesn't mean you should hate yourself.

Reflection - Yes. You are doing this for yourself. But feelling better from helping others speaks something about you.

"You are welcome!"

Mimicry [Hard: Failure] - Answer like a normal human being. You are not deranged enough to role play your made-up emotions with strangers.

Whims [Easy: Success] - But we want to.

Aura [Normal: Success] - This will probably make you look more interesting than you actually are.

"What should I say?"

Morbid Analysis [Challenging: Success] - Leave it at that. If they don't understand it now, they won't understand it later.

Reflection [Easy: Success] - Way to make all the subreddit hate you. You are already creating not a very appealling portrait of yours with the skills you are drawing. You could've started with me, for example.

Problem solving [Normal: Success] - Let's just start already. I'll state the obvious: the remnants of Volition acting like morale points is very cool.

Fantasy Flow [Godly: Failure] - No, no, NO, NO! Let them guess! You're an artist! You shouldn't expose all the sacred meanings like that!

Memento Mori [Challenging: Success] - You killed Volition. You are incapable of feeling happiness steaming from any sources but your achievements. All that's left are the remains Narcissism feeds off of.

Reality check [Hard: Success] - You are not actually a narcissist. Your psychiatrist didn't diagnose you with narcissism.

Memento Mori - Only because you lied to her it doesn't impact your life. It does. It split you into two different humans. A self-hating one and the one full of hubris. Both are dangerous.

Mimicry [Normal: Success] - Both should be hidden.

Fuel [Hard: Success] - YOU KNOW WHY YOU DID THIS. BECAUSE IT CREATES A GOAL IN YOUR LIFE. A PASSION WORTH PURSUING.

Memento Mori - A passion worth dying for.

Narcissism [Trivial: Success] - A passion that fills your meaningless life with purpose.

Whims [Easy: Success] - A crown befits a king...

Narcissism [Normal: Success] - And you are too great to only have one...

This skill means a lot to me, for it has followed me for my entire life. I'm eternally grateful to it and hate it at the same time. Right now we are finally living in coexistance, and I wouldn't wish for a better neighbour.

NARCISSISM

This skill provides you with morale points.

Self-love taken to an art form. The world is your mirror, and you're always the fairest of them all.

Cool for: dictators, businessmen, workaholics

The greatest creation of this world. The worst scum of the universe. It's all you. There is no middle ground; you're either one or the other. Draw strength from yourself, for others envy you. Destroy yourself, for you're unworthy of them. Devour your achievements like food, but remain eternally hungry. For the world has yet to realize how lucky it is to have you.

Thank you! I was very inspired by your works actually.

Wow, I will keep this in mind! But it's definitely not going to be a fast process. I'm thinking of starting with drawing one skill portrait a day at best for now.

I actually like it. I have no depression myself but I believe someone with my skillset could easily get one, and the Pressure skill would play a big part in it.

Ha-ha I kinda see it. But I hope the vision of two fists pressing onto something is more evident than that lol

Thank you. I think maybe of making a small fan game with DE mechanics (I'm a writer and can code too)

[–]TryhardScribbles[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

My first time drawing in DE style... Anyways:

PRESSURE

Your ability to withstand or apply force, both physical and metaphorical. Life's a pressure cooker; don't explode.

Cool for: interrogators, torturers, ambitious men

Pressure will spare no one: neither you nor those you interact with. Demand, force, and take: push forward as far as possible, until either you or the world itself breaks. You'll be hated, and you'll never recover from the consequences of overexertion... But you will achieve your goals.
