And yet Colombo does in fact have all his shit together just messily stacked in a pile.

Vibes are the strongest tool in a detectives arsenal. That, and a hideous necktie

There are two tools in a detectives arsenal - vibes, a hideous necktie and the use of deduction. There are three…

…I’ll come in again.

I recently learned of a British version of Dirk, circa 2010. I’d seen the Elijah Wood version, and this is a nice addition.

I just started playing Disco Elysium, I’m about 3 hours in and I have no idea what I’m doing. The voice acting is fantastic though, so that’s nice!

Yeah I’ve put about 5 hrs off and on and the entire time just feel like I’m fucking it all up.

That’s a normal feeling, and one that I think is intended. Disco Elysium is a game that is, fundamentally, about being a fuck-up.

Congratulations that means you are getting into the vibe

The game is least forgiving in the first few days, after that, it really opens out into people remembering the choices you’ve made in the game. Even if you’ve still been making bad choices, it’s pretty fun from there.

I too am taking advantage of the summer sale and am about 20 hours in and still wildly infatuated with this weird, weird amazing game.

After a while you start getting a slightly better idea of what’s going on, but that doesn’t make it more “game like” if anything, the more you learn about the game, the more it reveals itself to be a giant tool to explore meta-narratives and there are some moments of conversation regarding this that are absolutely chilling.

just remember to save often, it autosaves rarely and it will likely force you to load a save many times, especially early on

Screaming “THAT IS NOT MY COW! WHERE IS MY COW?” while on a rampage is a big falling apart vibe though

Upper left: Sherlock Holmes Upper right: Inspector Columbo Lower right: The Detective of the video game „Disco Elyseum“

I don’t know who‘s the guy on lower left.

If you don’t know Columbo or the game, I recommend both. Best go in without much knowledge about them. It will be fun.

On the lower left is FBI agent Dale Cooper from the “Twin Peaks” TV series.

Highly recommend watching the original show just a lil high. Not too much, you’ll lose the thread. But if you keep in the zone, it’s a wild wild ride.

Still cannot believe that show was on primetime broadcast television in the 90s, it’s the perfect marriage of art and commercial filmmaking. And the whole country was OBSESSED with it. Really wish we had more weird, beautiful stuff like it Twin Peaks =\
