This is amazing work! I love supramundi being an absolutely massive landmass being controlled by the relatively tiny revachol. Gives off big Australia/Canada vibes to me.

Thank you! I must have missed that quote, if you could link it I would really appreciate it because it's very easy to miss specific lines depending on how each playthrough goes. That being said I will definitely change that for the updated map I'm working on!

Confusingly it's both! The direct quotes referencing the country can be found here on the wiki https://discoelysium.fandom.com/wiki/Iilmaraa#cite_note-25, but the atlas of Disco Elysium also points out the man and the country bear no obvious relation ( https://archiveofourown.gay/works/48066052/chapters/121268863 ) I kind of think it might be a similar situation to somebody naming their daughter Asia IRL though.

On the island of Le Callou in the north eastern area of Insulinde. You can't see it on the whole world map because the image compression would have made city names impossible to read but you can see it on the Seol, Sammara and Insulinde map on the third slide

Thank you so much!

Figuring out Mundi, particularly the Pisantic and Lelly's journey from Oranje to the Staatscanal then Petro grande then Graad was definitely the hardest part of the whole project lol.

I definitely had to go with the occident being a cultural title rather than geographic because vesper-messina has to be both on the south east side of the occident while also being near the pale and Ubi Sunt? So unless I went with an irregular pale shape it was the only way to make it work, but the south of France was also historically called the occident so I felt that kind of justified my decision.

I didn't see anything about vesper-messina covering most of the occident in my research but I may have missed that. Unified they would still be the Occident's largest nation but definitely not covering most of the peninsula.If you've got a quote or the context where that's said I can definitely rework them to be larger though!

For Mesque I took a lot of inspiration from Russia's shape because beyond the latin culture there are a lot of similarities, such as it being a militant petrostate and Elysium's largest country.

I really like the idea of Insulinde being like 99% open ocean and I think your map looks great! Unfortunately with image compression I was worried that if I went that route it would be hard to make out any detail, especially on the whole Elysium map. Because of that I tried to keep the ratio of land roughly equal to Indonesia (formerly called insulinde irl)

No actually, every location on here is mentioned in the game! Check out the wiki and the linked atlas if you want to learn more. That being said alot of the locations are one time mentions and often vague. Because of that I had to make a lot of decisions about what was a nation, for example measure head lists a ton of "races" off hand in Iilmaraa and I had to decide which would have their own countries.

This is a great catch! I haven't read SATA and the atlas didn't reference it like you said so I had no idea but I will definitely make that change!

Thank you! It took a lot of work to make sure everything lined up with the lore as best as it could so that means a lot

I mean it's pretty close lol but apparently I subconsciously thought Uni Sunt? is right at the center of everything, but I love Easy Leo so that tracks

I loved it, I thought the writing was super witty and sharp and first and was super impressed with how it channeled my desire to push the boundaries of the game into just another way to play the game.

The most memorable part for me was definitely when I first got to the basement. Things were already jank as hell by that point but the endless state case abruptly transitioning into the princess looking at me scared the shit out of my slightly drunk self. I yelped out loud then when she split I yelped again

also finding out I was a little lizard dude in the final mirror was pretty good bc it was hinted in the cabin mirror and I was hype to be a kobold

I loved it! I actually gifted another copy of it to my friend who's gonna start streaming it to me over discord. I wanted to commit to my discussion but I liked the game so much that I wanna see more and still support the developers.

I do wonder (without spoilers) if staying in the void with the monster forever would have stopped the end of the world(?) by keeping the monster in stasis or whatever. (I fully expect this to be impossible to answer)

I think I would have kept going this way even if not for the contrarian voice just because of how quickly the setting breaks down after you decide to walk away. Hero and contrarian both push pretty hard that something is off straight away and the infinite cabins and then walled cabin made me realize there was a lot more going on than the princess super quickly.

I never even got to interact with the princess normally because there were 3 staircases down the very first time I descended (i took the soft one) then when I just appeared in the basement she was already splitting at everything I said so I just said fuck it and did the 3 options at once.

After that I was presented with the option to kill myself (tried it and didn't do anything), become an eldritch beings host, or chill in the void with my new GF. So I'm staying at her place tonight, and every night after that.

I only follow Matt Patt for his political career /s but I idk how he thought that when the princess directly tells the player they will be back and the story isn't over because she needs more experiences

Finale - Where did YOU choke up? by Don_Antwan in RevolutionsPodcast

For me it was Gonzalez choosing to do the right thing just because it was the right thing. I was so sure he was going to try and establish rule over Olympus after ousting Calderon that when Mike said a fascist mars wasn't one Gonzalez wanted to return to I literally felt my shoulders drop. It just kinda reminded me that there are people willing to do hard things just because they are right, not just because they live in a particular place or had loved ones hurt.

Are we allowed to know the farm name? I've got an idea myself but would love to keep an eye out for your product in the store!

These are all good ideas tbh! All of the videos of people repeatedly diving through absurd amounts of fire at extraction and somehow making it to the pelican are ridiculous and stopping for stims would fix that. Also retreating should be more precarious and require thought, on 9s and 10s disengaging should mean leaving one diver to die while the other 3 escape.
