i finished disco elysium

today i finished disco elysium!

it was a thoughtful and beautiful game.
easily my top 5 of all time.

in the beginning of playing this game,
i thought that the dialogue was unwieldy
and laborious to read, that it was somehow
something that “ought to be unnecessary.”

this was conditioning from the previous games i had played,
which, despite having narratives i can stand behind,
simply were not up to the standard of disco’s writing.

the in-game impressionist art portraits are
a joy to behold, and the wild thoughts of
harry’s aspects will be sticking around in my own brain
for a while after having finished the game.

i feel like i had a pretty fulfilling playthrough.
i was supervised by a friend who is a disco superfan,
and the experience was so enjoyable i lamented
that it would need to end someday as the end of the game
would surely arrive (apocalypse cop).

thanks for reading today’s post.
i guess this is my personality for the next few weeks.
