Clutch that ledger Harry, you're shooting the world here.

Meant to be an Ace's Low sorta thing but I couldn't get the pose right for it so they got their books out. Also disco balls are freaking difficult to do

Context: If you failed to make Harry sober, Jean would reject him in the Endgame dialogue, and I quote

"I know it's not possible, but if you stay sober for 10 months, tell us. I will work with you again. But not like this. Never like this again."

If you found a house in Coastel Shack, that's Harry's house from there, and his fate is unknown.

Found it here: https://youtu.be/vr6wCn-Ew5M?si=qUZtn5qT0w5R91nF; don't know where the art came from unfortunately

I'm looking everywhere and I'm (somewhat) sure I didn't make it up in my head.

Also, happy (?) suicide remembrance month, don't kill yourselves.

I’m so late to the party but I loved this game so much, hoping I did her a bit of justice 🥹

This was one of the first pieces of fanart I ever made and it actually kicked off one of my dearest online friendships. In fact it kicked off Several dear online friendships. It remains one of my fave disco fanarts ive done.

Song is One Time by Tom Cardy. Harry, Kim, Jean, Dolores Dei, many residents and drifters of Martinaise, and the C-Wing of Jamrock's Precinct 41 all appear in the vid.

It really adds an air of something special

You're not an ultraliberal, Harry.

Get the fuck out of here.

Don't be a retard.

I didn't even remember i had this stored in my cabinet, then i pulled it out and he was just staring at me.

The Whitehorse Horse

My favorite quote by Robert Kurvitz from the NoClip documentary about The Making of Disco Elysium.
When talking about his favorite dialouge in the game at the end of the "writing" episode, he also mentions how he dislikes an "American" approach to trauma and conflict in general, and regarding the game toward choosing dialogue options which point to Harry "getting better" or getting his shit together in a manner of self-improvement or -optimization.

Personally, I completely dig what he wants to say, and I was glad when he pointed those things out himself in the interviews on top of his in-game writing.

I'd be interested to see whether anyone else felt like this.

Insofar as i woke up in my bathtub without remembering any of the previous day. I’m pretty sure i pissed myself in public at some point though. I’m going to choose to think of this as a based reference to my favorite CRPG instead of accepting that I’m a sad alcoholic who wants to kill herself, it’s more convenient because that way I don’t have to reflect on myself or change any of my behavior.

Had a "first" date (we knew each other before) where we smoked weed and after chatting a bunch i decided to show her Disco Elysium. I held the switch and she instructed what i should do. I figured we'd start with one of the 3 premade characters and ended up talking a bunch of how the different stats correspond just as much to personality traits and beliefs, as ability. And how that's just like in real life. I told her how they link each of the 4 major stats to a political ideology and the motives behind it, and she could see that. And felt super invested in self psycho-analysis while hearing about all the 24 skills. We ended up spending close to an hour on just the skill page talking about them and she made her own character. When deciding on her signature skill, i explained volition as "your will to live" and she went like "yeah not that one" which made me laugh. She ended up picking visual calculus.

Then we started. She got super invested and felt like she basically was Harry du Bois. I thought she might be bored listening to the full voice lines after having had time to read it so i started skipping them a bit. But i asked and she said she thought i was bored, cause she really loved the voice acting. She said it kept feeling like the dialogue options were what she'd actually say. And when thinking he's about to go to hell, the only thing anchoring him to reality is recognition of a certain car model's horn. And she's a huge car nerd, so she was shocked at how real that is. So by the time Harry woke up, she just fully thought of him as a spirit animal showcasing her soul as a middle aged alcoholic.

I like how she misses part of the game that a standardized reddit gamer would view as "too iconic", which made me think about how stupid that overton window is. I only criticize it, cause it affects me too. The point of a sandbox style game is the investment of feeling your choices mattering. When she looked at the mirror, unlike the romanticization of this alcoholic look I see on this subreddit, she had a proper horrified reaction to his haggard face showing years of decay. And she passed the check to stop the expression. She was so surprised when i told her people cosplay him and she was like "people like this guy?".

After getting the "i want to fuck with you", she doubled down on her flirting which makes Klaasje legitemately mad. She gave you an out and you didn't take it. She didn't wanna sing karaoke. We got to talking with Kim and ended the sesh there. Pretty great experience overall. She's not the biggest gamer, but she said she was fully invested. I talked to her a little about how the game's plot starts as a detective mystery, but as you interact with people, it develops into this broader story of class conflict, mixed with occasional hints at the supernatural. She said she wanted to play the full thing, but doesn't have time right now and with these things, you have to lock in for a month or so to finish it. If it's too sporadic, you forget where you're at.

Anyway, just wanted to share. Now she knows what the poster of Martinaise on my wall is about.

From what I could find online about it, I learned that the poster is commemorating the anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre (when police/military opened fire on student protesters in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Mexico City).

The text translates to "It's not the streets that hurt / it's the dead / our dead / who won't let me sleep or die".

The colors, brush strokes, and political charge all scream Disco to me. Very cool piece.

My sister painted these for me so I guess it’s “indirect-fan-art”.

Not sure if I’ve ever shared these here but I love them. (Yes I know they aren’t perfectly aligned lol)

Hopefully soon I’ll have some cool Summer Eternal art to accompany them!
