r/DiscoElysium

Annette made me realise I’ve rarely encountered romance where both the protagonist were just your everyday proletarians.

Does anyone know any good romance stories about us poor peasants? Do they exist or are they a myth?

It's really something. 30 years on this earth and I don't think a video game has come close to making me feel the things this is making me feel. Only some of the best novels I've read could compare.

I think if you've dealt with a heavy dose of shame and failure, it really just emotionally smacks you in all the right places huh.

Then the horns and strings start playing as you take in the city and wow. It's really heavy, heavy and beautiful.

For me in my first walkthrough of DE active checks feel like walls. If you fail a check in mostly cases it means that you lose time, pace of the story, you should do something else (if you have any other active task in a given timeframe), get skill point, upgrade the skill, return to the check location and try again. That's why saves cumming reveals.

It's obvious result of mechanic with random elements. Why DE developers use this mechanic then? And many others developers in their disco-like games? My first though was that it should be momentum of tabletop game: you have momentum in tabletop game, you want to have it in computer game that should give similar experience. But now I think that something more fundamental should be here. People play dice games starting from the begging of civilization and dices are definitely related to our feeling of reality in general.

What dices and random elements means for your game experience? Could be DE better without dices? How active checks could be improved in new disco-like games?

Basically the title. Curious to hear other people's thoughts.

An element of the communist viewpoint is that communism when done correctly, physically alters the environment. Make plants grow, make the card tower stand ect..

Is the ultra rich guy an extension of this? Another example of class physically altering the world around you.

Idk just wondered if anyone else had any thoughts on it
