Please remember to check the traps! Lena is still worried about Morell on the cold coast and he won't go back to her until you do, and tell him so.

The phone...

A light hearted detour? That ain't disco, baby. That ain't disco at all...

Shivers moments are always so good. There's this sense of nostalgia and personification of the world that I've seen many times in literature, but never in a game.

I'm loving this playthrough so far, your insight, attention to detail and care for immersion and roleplay is enthralling, dude. Please tell me you have another game lined up after Disco, this is gold. <3

The lighthouse was the location you need to skip the penalty on the whitecheck for trying to have the date.

Spoilers 38:00 OOOH just you wait!

Shivers is so amazing. It feels like you are sort of communing with the spirits of the city.

You should definitely put more points into shivers when you get the chance, it has some of the most interesting dialogue in the game (and seems right up your street with lots to analyse)

Oh no, no Kim? It’s crazy how much my enjoyment of things in DE is tied to Kim. I might have an issue there…

... speaking of compartmentalization, please watch Severance (or do a "react video" on it, too)

24:45 "I need an adult" :D

Just in my own way, the end is reason why I arrest Klaasje if I have the character for it. When her back is against the wall and there is even a chance she might face consequences, she throws everyone under the bus. Which is something she tries multiple times, and it really shows how willing she is to let everyone burn, but her. It is absolutely understandable, but it also explains her so much.

Interact with the payphone braaaadyyyy

The character portraits are meant (from the artist of the game word) meant to represent the way Harry perceive them, they are really interesting from that perspective.

Watching this on the bus on my way to work, and just had a real-life Shivers moment: Right when you started talking about abandoned communal spaces (38:00), we drove past an old brick building. On the dusty, empty window, someone had written with their finger: "Preserve me!"

Please remember to check the traps! You promised Morell, and he won't go back to Lena until you do :( Also, Kim used to be Moralist, but he became disillusioned with Moralism because it maintains the status quo above actually making positive social progress.

lost morale from touching a seagull shit and regained morale from thoughts about seagulls

24:30 THERES NOTHING LITTLE ABOUT IT

So close to *that* telephone, and so close to *HARDCORE*

The pay phone on the boardwalk has a great scene you won’t want to miss. You have to call a few numbers before it kick in but it’s worth it

17:45 This was a great connection to make- I've seen that point on analyses of Disco Elysium before. Keep your eyes peeled for colors bleeding through on other portraits later on..

Oh boy and you haven't reached the phone or found the dead guy's family (heavily recommend to do the phone without kim but keep with the dead guy with kim)

Im glad you have your cats to snuggle when sad game makes you sad. My cat just yells at me as if I should suck it up.

I adore the fact that as soon as Harry learns about the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua he thinks he hears it the second he walks outside.

Euro: "I'm gonna make this a light-hearted episode!" Revachol: Yeah, so anyway...

The jacket still has its own character arc to go through, as long as there's someone to help it on its journey to recovery and healing ;)

yesss we finally get some cat hugs

"Lilienne, do you want to go on a... Oh wait, I'm shivering and see things. Hold on for an hour or two, please."

Plese, talk with acele

the phone... its right there

YEAAAAH PET THE CAT, YEAAAH

Thanks for another episode. You are one of the best lets player this game could ask for.

As someone who went through this game as a full communist, idealistically supporting the union, I am really appreciating how you deal with the nuance of bad actors like Evrart Claire without dismissing collectivism.

38:00 The communal spaces comment reminds me of a small bit from "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" - "...yet he could be thankful for the opportunity to pay a hundred thousand dollars or more for a painting by an Italian three centuries dead. And he capped this insult by giving paintings to museums for the spiritual elevation of the poor. The museums were closed on Sundays." I'd be cheering on *les petite rats* for looting the coffers, if, y'know, they weren't dying in the process of doing so.

Hell yeah, Brady is bringing out the good politics today

I am so hyped for what you're about to encounter.

Oh wow that scene is devastating without Kim to ground you.

I calculated that by this pace, you will finish the game around Oct 2025, so it seems we have a lot of content ahead xD

Cat

I'm only like 10 seconds in, but I HAVE to say that kitty is so cute and adorable

Oh yeah this one is a real tear jerker.

You can talk about the jaced with "doom spiral" or clean it up

Was worried you were having a short break after last episode :) soldier on brady!

I wish you had Kim but it’s still fine to be alone! It’s always good to have a more level headed person with you. Especially someone who knows that they know what they’re doing if that makes sense.

This game brings you to the darkest pit of hell and shows you that you were the light you needed all along.

Mio hasn’t been able to interrupt the streams, so she interrupts these intros instead! Get him Mio 😸

Accidentally gave myself depression this episode. The next one will for sure be about something happy, right? Right!? It's up on the archive for patreon supporters, coming to YT soon. Enjoy!

So early! Love the series!
