Oh my gosh I think I might be falling a little in love with this game. I didn't expect to, not like this, but... well, just keep watching to see why. There is a heart of gold in here and a belief in the goodness of humanity and our ability to enact change, even on a small scale, and that is so important to me and how I try to live my life, but I did not expect Disco Elysium to be the game that asserts it so powerfully. Yet here we are. And yes, we did go almost four hours and *only* stay in the bookstore, but it was worth it, don't you think?

I am never taking this hat off. This hat is proof that Ocelot can be a good man and do good things, and he is *so* proud of it and *so* pleased with it.

I feel like for SEO purposes I ought to retitle these "Lauren reacts to Disco Elysium" but also I feel like I'm the absolute antithesis of a "reacts" video because there's no instant gratification here! I'm really not sure how to label these things so people will find them... but then again, a lot of you do seem to be finding your way here, or have been here all along, so it's not like I'm lonely ♥ Thank you so much for your comments! And for those of you who wander over from YouTube to Twitch, I'm always so happy to see you!! That's been a treat. (Reminder, though, I love lurkers, too!!!)

I stream a lot on Twitch @ twitch.tv/LaurentheFlute ♥
