God help me, "what this splat thinks of all the other splats" has always been the goddamn emptiest and dumbest part of RPGs but I would be first in line for a book that was just each of these voices doing a tell-all about the other 23.

Political polls have always been fun because depending on how you phrase a question, a lot of people's views are genuinely all over the map, especially if you get into what amounts to 'socialism but don't call it socialism'. People are taught about politics in incredibly shallow, vague and loaded ways, on purpose.

My advice on how to play Disco Elysium is good and made in the purest faith. Not everyone has time for multiple play throughs, and maxing out your stats allows you to see the most content in a single play through.

Also most of the community sees the mod that let's you put Cuno in contact with a social worker as cannon anyway.

I am suddenly super curious about if you can steal the boots when Kim is gone, wait until he returns, then try cooking them when he is in your party the next day.
Not possible

I also found out by complete accident if You arrest Klassje and thus have Kim sent away for the day, you can then pass out after reading the note in your ledger, and Kim will return with his souped up motor carriage to give you water. He even mentions he was done with what he was sent away for by the time he is alerted to you passing out, so he decided to come back and help you for the day like normal

Not sure if this has been discussed already but I recently watched the documentary Struggle on Netflix, about Polish sculptor Stanislaw Szukalski (1893-1987). He was quite a character to say the least. His politics were hard to figure out but my take from the doco was that he veered from anti-imperialist to nationalist/fascist and back again over his life. Posting about it here because I suspect his work may have been part of the inspiration behind some of the art in Disco Elysium, in particular the art for Authority:



Thinking about it as I post this, he might have been part of the inspiration for Harry too with his contradictory and rather incoherent politics. Definitely an interesting watch.

Still on my first playthrough, just about to wrap up Day 3. I got into the church and thanks to a clutch high roll managed to talk to the crab man in the shadows. If I'd failed that check would I have missed him altogether?

In the church I suddenly realised that Kim's portrait has his head illuminated by a halo, like a saint. I also found Klaasje again and realised she looks a lot like Laura Dern.

All the portraits have really good details like that, color matches with ideology as well

Just watched this documentary because of this post-- it was really interesting. Fascinating guy with inscrutable politics and certainly some pretty cool artwork.

Would be great to read more about potential inspirations for other aspects of the game.

I was wondering if each NPC in the game exemplified one of the skills. Couldn't put it all together in my head though. Not even sure if the numbers add up, must be more than 24 characters.

And Authority has a resemblance to Titus, iirc. There's a few of those, though I'm not sure on any others besides those two.

Measurehead does seem a lot like what happens when you go too far into Rhetoric.
