Disco Elysium is a weird game - that much is obvious. It's got high  minded philosophical commentary sharing space with childish jokes, it  mocks just about every political worldview ruthlessly, and it veers  drunkenly between bleak musings on the state of post-capitalist reality  and joyous moments of pure fun.  

It's no wonder that many people, The Architect included, have tried and  failed over and over again to figure out what, if anything, Disco  Elysium is actually about. Until now. Against the advice of the many  voices in their head, The Architect has ventured into the wild pale  yonder of Elysium and lived to tell the tale, specifically, a tale about  how failure... is just the beginning.

I'll return to this video when I've played it all the way through...

This was such a joy. I saved this for a rainy day and I'm glad I did....you really got to the core of the experience, and I feel like tied together what I had *felt* but couldn't place together. PLUS of course, your multiple playthroughs saved me the time of doing that (at least right now!), so I appreciate that good effort, time and your editing skills :3 I think my favorite part overall was honestly how you contextualized the experience as a "game". Like, I didn't realise just how cleverly they designed the difficulty curve *into* the investigation. You really do start off so pathetic and the game beats you down so hard....but it's hard to notice that shift upwards on a scale of a 25+ hour playthrough haha Wonderful work! Please take a nice rest before grinding the next hour+ vid 😉
