LaurentheFlute plays Disco Elysium #11: Joyce AGAIN; disappointed Kim
84So should I call this series Discourse Elysium? Because that's such a good name. Also, wow, a WHOLE HOUR of talking at the beginning, I think that's a new record. If you want to skip all that, look for the asterisks in the timestamps to indicate where gameplay starts.
The conversation with Joyce has rewired the entirety of how I think about conversations in this game, which is cool and interesting and also OH NO to have had this realization halfway through a boss fight, so to speak!! Fortunately Kim is here to help me with it, and this is only the first day, so presumably it's still early enough to figure this out.
I try to timestamp things 1) so you can skip ahead to the end of a topic if you're not interested in it and 2) so you can more easily pick back up if you have to step away. I hope these are working. But it's also extremely arbitrary each time. Also! I think I'm going to make some changes to my OBS layouts for this game. I've never done that before but I think it'll make a slightly better experience for all of us.
