Disco Elysium is not a fucking cop game oh my god these people would have had some white woman running around in the Alps looking for a cat fucking christ.

I didn't want to paint yet another boring painting of some paternal figure like "Saturn Devouring His Son" so I decided to paint Otto Von Bismarck instead.

I didn't want to write another book about hunting whales after Moby Dick, so my new piece is about Elmer Fudd.

I didnt want to make yet another movie about some rich guy after citizen kane

Times have changed, people don't want yet another story about some kid with daddy issues like Hamlet.

The whole bird thing is so last year, I don't think I'd want to write a poem about birds like The Raven.

I didn't want to make yet another capitalism-simulator after Return of the Obra Dinn.

Spies are in

ahh yes the famous non-cops of the CIA or COINTELPRO undercover agents. Yes it's the profession description that's the issue. fuck. We all love MI6, James Bond is such a cool guy and definitely not a cop.

I hate these people I spit on their graves I hope they all fucking die, killing the one beautiful game developer in its cradle and flying in and sniffing your own fucking farts about it oh my god they suck so much. "Oho the last game was just a cop game" oh my god you privileged PMC radlib Karen bugseller fucks

people who hate cops famously love spies.

People are sick of "soldier movies" so I felt like we had to move on from "Come and See" which is why my new movie is about this BIPOC prison guard taking care of the plants in alligator Alcatraz.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

Come and See is such a bummer but what if it was about a boy who lost his dog in the woods? thonk

I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and your stupid bug

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Clearly you are not BMF cuz he never replied to replies to his comments.

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Had to change their act to fit in better. Famously, they were banned many, MANY times from posting after all.

Saving this pasta 😂😂😂

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

spies are worse!

Also, cops are always a voyeuristic entry into everyone's world, because they are tolerated. Similar to private eyes. Cops and Private eyes are a mechanism for engaging in a mystery storyline.

[–] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, agreed. I hate it, but cops have access to things/info that a storyteller needs, they have access to people, places, evidence, they come and go and are tolerated like you said. We'd still be making cop movies under communism cause cops have access. Like, wasnt The Departed based on a Chinese cop trilogy?

We'd still be making cop movies under communism

"Stop revisionist scum! I've been temporarily appointed via sortition by the People's Committee for Investigation. Come with me and my subject-matter expert assistants, where we will something something communism jokes gulag."

Sorry. I'd do better but it's 4am, I spent 3 hours worrying over another post and now can barely spell.

Shh! We'll never get Disco Elysium 3: The Spycop Who Married Me

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

Antiheroes are cursed

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

This statement sort of feels like they haven't played the game.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

I gave the demo a shot and it felt nigh instantly sauceless, I think "Our understanding is that disco elysium fans now don't like cops anymore" is as good as an explanation as any. It feels deserved given the whole backstory but yet still sort of a shame, a good discolike about a spy does have potential precisely because spies and cops suck
