You ever think about how Shivers was *wrong* only once

Unless I missed something, this is the only time Shivers is wrong. It’s not supposed to be; Shivers is the spirit of the city describing itself to you as a matter of fact. When it says there won’t ever be a club for anodic dance music in the church, it does so because it’s the metaphysical truth… …except it isn’t. Fueled by his complete desire to BUST A MOVE, Harry makes possible what shouldn’t be — and for the briefest of moments, a true anodic music club *does* exist where it *cannot* exist. For the entire game, you’re a receiver for Shivers. You can tune into its different frequencies with varying degrees of control over the process, but it’s always one-way communication. Until this very moment, where against all odds, you transmit a message back. Shivers says, “there will never be a club for anodic music here”, and you bark back, “oh yeah? Fucking watch me”. And so it watches as something impossible happens, as you prove it wrong — and so it reveals itself to you as La Revacholière, for it understands you might be the only entity to ever exist that can heed its warning and save it from its fate. The moral of this story is that through anodic music and **busting moves** you, too, can change the universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knOXppaqBYY

Free Disco Elysium papers

Disco Elysium is a profoundly thought-provoking game, and I’ve seen a lot of wonderful meta for it on here. Plus, video game studies is an incredibly interesting and rapidly evolving field! I think a lot of you would enjoy reading some published literature on the game! I’ve also seen people talk about how a lot of the online meta for the game comes without considering the Estonian context the game was made in. Guess what, there’s an open access journal for that! Baltic Screen Media Review did a special issue on Disco Elysium! You can find it here: https://sciendo.com/issue/BSMR/9/1 Some of these texts are… really dense, and not super approachable. I found myself checking out books from the library just to understand one (The Object Gives Rise to Thought: Hermeneutics of Objects in Disco Elysium; I liked it a lot! Having the lens of Disco Elysium to guide me let me understand the philosophical framework a lot better tbh). I haven’t read them all. Plenty of them have concepts in the titles I’ve never even heard of, especially because I don’t have much background in philosophy. But I learned a lot from them, and I’m excited to learn more. Have fun, everyone!

Starting a new Disco Game be like okay here we go again. Let‘s see how we handle this this time. And everytime I find new ways to relate to different aspects of different characters and….and Harry. Ahhh Harrier. Replaying these few days of his life over and over is the best form of escapism I‘ve currently got (better than getting high and staring into the void!) while still being awfully aware of the world I‘m trying to escape from. It‘s like looking into a mirror of our world but while I‘m currently not able to find hope in my own, I find it there. I find it in silly student communists, in Cindy the fucking skull who likes to paint the walls like I do, I find it in the shared solitude of Kim and Harry sitting on a swing, in a damn Insect and in the thought that everything will be swallowed by the pale and will just…start over. After the pale the world again.
