New episode out now! It\u2019s an epic one - we all played the entirety of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a 2021 update of the popular 2019 game where you play an amnesiac detective coming off a three-day bender trying to solve a murder in war-ravaged Revachol. We cover the gameplay and how you essentially had to embrace failure, and how the choices you make in the dialogue weave a tapestry of interactions and side quests that made us question our politics, morals, and even our existential existence. We talk about how all the characters were shades of gray and were not all morally bad or good, discuss the division between plot and story and the journey you went on as Harry, and thought that Kim Kitsuragi was the absolute best. We also compare our individual play strategies and what stats and trophies we ended up with, get surprised that our emotions could lie to us, and were ultimately frustrated with the eventual reveal of the killer even though that was also somewhat the point. Katy questioned her own reality, Carrie gets sad about a car, Maddy sings a number of times, and Mack doesn\u2019t want to live an examined life. We also play around with some voice acting, get excited about teleportation, question governmental power, and learn the class war is never over. Listen to hear more about smelling gum wrappers, cryptids, Maddy testing Tim, communism, cool swords, and doing drugs. HARDCORE!
