Alright, thank you! I was stressed because I basically did nothing on Day 1. I sorta just went around Whirling and barely spoke to Union people and Scabs before being thrown out by a big nazi.

Half Life Full Consequence: Not entirely remembering the choices before, but clicking through all of Sylive's telephone dialog, then annoying Kim with his radio choices, and finally opening my mouth to Garte as Doctor Love clinched the minimum.

I’ve been trying to be a racist fascist but in my head canon Kim is “one of the good ones” (he must be, he’s a fellow cop!) and I just can’t be that mean to him 🙁

This is pretty normal for a first play through. Honestly by the end of the first day I found myself feeling pretty similar to my character, completely overwhelmed by all the information thrown at me and feeling like I'd completely failed to investigate the murder at all. You'll get there (probably).

It's my first play through, and I've already hit the lowest of the low with Kim by 6pm day 1. How have only 1.5% of Steam players achieved this?

It's not even that hard. I finally hit the lowest of the low with Kim on the first day kicking a trash can.

Oh man there's been some voice and text mismatches before but "Martinaise? Nothing. It's just a puddle at the end of some drainpipes" coming out as "I have, on a few occassions, when I was young and foolish, smoked ham". Thanks for that information, Kim.

Hahah, "here's my gun and badge, they'll put me in the [indiscernable] for this, but it feels good to have it off my chest" for "Absolutely nothing"

solid A-tier effort there

but because I like the topic: the RCM isn't "police" though, it's a rather unique (and appropriately rather fantastic) social institution

People treat them like police. Cool people call you names like pig. You come from a "bad" precinct where two murders means you're one of the lighthanded ones. Maybe they aren't as bad as the worst real life cops, but they're definitely still cops.

would be curious to see a little more info, because maybe I'm misunderstanding but looking around for more info what sounds like what happened is that zaum was looking into making a show back in 2020 and signed up with dj2.

dj2 who has now, in turn, signed with Amazon specifically for "first look" at video game related offerings re: streaming. which, still bleh but seems a bit different from the way that particular article presents it?

amazon is up there with CBS and their non-stop flow of DoD funded jingo slop which sounds like the perfect home for a Disco Elysium series i guess??

I think the TV rights were always being handled by the weird estonian businessman guy who bankrolled the development in the first place. The devil gets his due, I would assume zaum will stay pretty quiet about it

There’s definitely potential for a show exploring the deeper lore / world of DE. A show that’s just the game but for TV would obviously be awful, and TBH any show they make is probably going to be awful anyway if it happens 😞

I mean even if this ends up a good show its politics are going to be extremely watered down.

Honestly gently caress it, none of us get to pick the water we're swimming in and it's not like not selling the rights to a TV adaptation was the secret key to unleashing eternal global communism. Good for them but also lmao

"I'm sure your TV series is going to be just fine, Harry. It's not like you sold it to Jeff Bezos. You didn't bargain away your adaptation rights to an infamous union-busting megacorporation owned by a manchild. A dead eyed producer isn't tearing pages out of your manuscript and replacing them with glib co-marketing tie-ins with Legolas and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan right now."

I feel like the best way they can do a Disco Elysium show is just to capture the spirit of the world rather than try to adapt the game. Like, I can imagine some showrunners (wrongly) thinking that dissonant voices in the protagonist’s head is some kind of core element.

It should be a sort of mood piece. Like Blade Runner, maybe.
