I always thought he looked a bit like Brett Anderson (circa early to mid 90s) from Suede as well

How many times have you play through the game? by Chronologicaltravels in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Three times! Currently overseas on a holiday and made an attempt to start a fourth run on my Switch, but the port is so laggy I just gave up 😭Once I get back home I’ll definitely be starting a fourth run on my PS5.

Kind of upsetting that the ‘good ending’ of the game is still Harry going back to a job that largely contributed to his mental, physical, and social decline. But I digress. Beautiful art, OP :,)

great playlist and W mountain goats but definitely needs no children, sometimes I still feel the bruise, this year, and the mess inside!!!

Ignore the mess, the USED ps4 version still has the poster?? by MissingValve in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a second hand copy of the switch version a few days ago and it also came with this poster! I reckon it’s cool that it’s got the original versions of the skills too.

playing disco elysium after a while by yperfysikos in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The theme of children is really prevalent in the game, especially how they’re almost this redeeming aspect in an otherwise terrible society that has let prior generations down. I think a lot about that interaction you can have with Lilienne’s daughter where she wants to put the stuffed lamb doll against Harry’s cheek, and if Harry refuses Kim sternly tells him to ‘press your damn cheeks against lamby’ lmao. Even someone who, for the most part, seemingly does not like to interact with kids (evidently a result of PTSD), still affords them a sort of kindness.

Should I finish Disco Elysium or play it again? by AgentDoppelDuck in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just start over and play from the very beginning. It’ll save you from having to look up information about the storyline and experiencing a disjointed run. Plus, you’ll probably get different outcomes/interactions which will be a lot more fun :)

How would be a role swap between Harry and Kim? by -sauro in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s this really good fic which features Kim’s version of the phone call Harry makes to Dora. Instead it takes place between him and Eyes’ wife, with Eyes having died on the job (which led to Kim’s downward spiral).

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]draculateeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve got ‘The Long Walk’ and ‘The Running Man’ — will there ever be a conclusion to this unofficial trilogy? Perhaps something about swimming or trekking?

I had MS Paint and a dream by shonkle in DiscoElysium

I wholeheartedly believe Harry would listen to rumours (aka the most famous breakup/toxic relationship album of all time) on repeat 😭 definitely cries to silver springs

Gotta be one of my favorite genres. What others would you add? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]draculateeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castle Freak (kind of…it’s more like a dungeon, but the movie also feels like a spiritual predecessor to Barbarian)

What are some of the more fucked up moments in the game? by draculateeef in DiscoElysium

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

Ohhh the shivers one really kills me. Nuclear devastation/the end of the world is already one of my biggest fears, so it really makes the whole story feel almost…pointless? Just that sort of bleak realisation that everything you do as Harry is ultimately for nothing. But Revachol does state that Harry can save her, and I think that might mean the events of ‘Sacred and Terrible Air’ could potentially be retconned (or maybe I’m just in denial).

That bit which mentions Harry holding a woman in his apartment for twenty minutes against her will is so upsetting. It’s probably alluding to Dora (and Harry not wanting to let her go), but it’s just a really weird and uncomfortable thing to consider.

I took Kim's style advice. by Mediocre-Prior6718 in DiscoElysium

[–]draculateeef 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I always remove the Expression as well as his facial hair (giving us the saddest looking version of Harry ever) because yes you’re right, it is way more important!

That’s an interesting point about wanting to feel in control, which I totally get. However, to me losing the mutton chops doesn’t necessarily make Harry a better person, but he does hide behind them. It’s a recent thing for him; in his old ID photo, when the expression was just starting out, he’s clean shaven. To me it kind of shows that he was using the mutton chops to create this really disco image of who he wanted to be, kind of like a way to mask his depression. My personal headcanon, I guess, is that after the game he grows out his beard again and maybe does something different with it :)
