Note: Ambrosius is the guy who nukes revachol 22 years after the end of Disco Elysium
did nothing wrongTrue hero of the people, helped Harry find his gun
Hey Lois this just like the time I helped that detective find his gun.
Never trust a Social Democrat that quotes Mazov
he helped me find my gun tho ^_^/uj I did see like an ad or something for some like generic looking like, idk what to call it ‘organisation’ but not in the ‘org’ sense bc its about entrepreneurs among other things that used a fucking james baldwin quote (which do we have any james baldwin emotes?)
Cindy the SKULL, clearly.
Who else is there to call Joyce Messier a ghoul.
Cindy the SKULL
Not a bad suggestion, also the kid who records sounds maybe?
She’s connected to organized crime via family, but herself doesn’t do much wrong I suppose.
it's the
phasmid
spoiler
Lol I also thought of the Phasmid but it did give the Deserter some brainworms.
Deserter already had most of those brainworms.
Stick insect did nothing. Stick insect is innocent of the crime.
spoiler
the deserter was literally addicted to the phasmid’s mind control chemicals, after you photograph it and it leaves, the deserter becomes entirely unresponsive and incapable of even basic speech, just shuddering if you touch him.
Yeah, I know, but he’s spent 50 years being the Union Bosses’ assassin and he was already fucked up from fleeing his comrades. It’s not just the phasmid.
I have to assume that its meant to be like, Kim.
But Kim is sadly a moralist coward, so despite his personal heroism in the field, he is not truly politically heroic, the only heroism that matters.
The old woman who gives you shelter?
Maybe, but that’s more “good” than “heroic” in my opinion.
Unless the alleged tv troper is conflating the two.
call me manana
It’s
clearly they’re counting the skills as separate entities
Do you think Volition effectively utilized girl power when she advocated for Klaasje to be arrested?Wasn’t Klassje a ghoul herself? Not that she deserved to be arrested for collaborating in the extrajudicial lynching of a Pinkerton mercenary (which she didn’t do anyway but that is what she was suspected for at that point).
She was a ghoul but the thing is that she did want out of it and at the time she was in Martinaise she was kind of having parallels with Harry in that she was trying to lose herself in drugs to forget her past. She was also on the run from the moralintern herself. AFAIK if you do arrest her she will be killed while in jail (you also have an option to give her to the sunday friend!!). Honestly I would say within the time of the story she’s easily no worse than HDB. The only ‘bad’ thing she does is having sex with the mercenary and then lying to the cops about it. She does leave you a parting gift if you don’t arrest her: a ballistics analysis showing the shot came from the island.
She wasn’t a collaborator with the occupying force of the moralintern, I think is the thing that made me want to let her go. There’s no way to arrest her that isn’t fundamentally performing your duty as an officer of capital. You can either arrest her outright or maybe kinda arrest her in a way that may have a bureaucratic loophole (spoiler: it doesn’t). In the end, there’s no way to have her answer before the people she harmed. There is no justice to be served.
I read on hexbear, there was a tumblr post that said reddit picked up on a tvtropes section that said in Disco Elysium…
Mr. Evrart is helping me navigate social media.
Are you forgetting someone, Detective?

TFW the game makes you play a cop
That was one of the reasons I stopped playing the game! While talking with the unionists, the internal voices told me to maybe press the weakest link…and I did, and felt so bad afterwards! I believe that was the point, and I could have not done it…! I believe I should try again on clean slate sometime in the future.
ACABEKK
Also
if you follow kim’s advice don’t you end up killing ruby for no reason?
I’m regretting the Kim post more and more.
MEGA TO THE HAAADKORE
is that a spoiler, does that actually come up in the game? or is it from the book?
If you pass the check to dance in the church and then pass the shivers check you will speak with the spirit of the city who tells you the city will be nuked in 22 years. The person who does the nuking Ambrosius is never directly mentioned in the game though, so we only find out it was ambrosius in the book yeah.
spoiler
It’s that old deserter guy you arrest at the end. Through the whole dialogue, as he’s calling me a lib, I feel it hard.

Well then we could talk about what heroic means. In my opinion for a communist, especially one in prolonged struggle means that they have to see how the material conditions are. If you are not connected to a movement then your action is likely not really furthering the communist movement. His disdain for what came after the failed revolution is fair, but doesn’t make him right. He is not the hero in the story either.
He even says that there’s in practical terms little physical threat to him should he choose to return to society, so his decision to withhold his knowledge and experience from the movements that actually do exist is selfish, and even if much of his motivation for that is trauma and resentment, he also holds some seriously reactionary views that play into that.

Both important points. The first one I actually not acknowledge itself enough till now. Thanks for your point of view!
spoiler The guy who just murdered a rando because he felt like shit about deserting? No, for all his mean words he did fuck all. Union boss dude actually had a plan and shit to get the moralists to fuck off which worked.:::
That guy is the same guy from the dirty ushanka copypasta.
SHIT YOURE RIGHT RODIONOV is actually the elysium equivalent of posadas… he therozied you could use the pale as a weapon against the bourgeoisie… like ambrosius is just a normal fascist but rodionov was a believer in communism…
There’s a Rodionov household on one of the mail routes I deliver and I just immediately append a “'s trench” to the name whenever i think about it
Oh shit me and the girls disappearing into Rodionov’s Trench (we want to disappear)
