I will say though the disco elysium witch idea could kinda work only if the witch looks as crusty and fucked up as harry dearest

I don't really agree, a huge part of Disco Elysium is a gritty critique of society and fascism. Harry being cringefail is one part but there's also tons of anti-fascist points being made throughout the game, and the setting they've chosen is essential to fit those themes. It hits home so hard because you're a guy working as a detective, and you're faced with corruption and all these different problems with society head on. Harry was, in the past, part of a gang and is the only surviving member. Harry struggles with substance abuse to help him get cases done, and he's solved 216 in just 18 years. He's kind of become the authority he used to fight against. If you add a bunch of traditional-style magic and make the main character a witch, and completely change the setting and make it about your neighbor's cat instead of trying to unravel the corruption within your workplace or solve a murder, it's just a different game. It won't matter how cringe or alcoholic you make the witch; if you change the context, the setting, the main character, you're changing the story and the point it makes. I really don't feel like it would be comparable at that point. The person who suggested making a Disco Elysium inspired game about a young witch in the alps raising plants looking for a lost cat wants a cute relaxing game. I'm not sure why they would project that onto Disco Elysium, because DE is an exploration of morality and a man's insanity and how he chooses to cope with trying to work within reality, while struggling to stay a good person. They just wanted to play a different game.

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

my dad saw ao3 open on my computer and asked if that was like my writing club and just so you know that's what fanfic writers are now, we're all in the same writing club where we all write about the same media and show each other our little stories and that's kind of cool actually

turn left is literally the most insane episode ever written. yeah the main character would kill himself if he didn't meet his best friend and the UK government is like 2 bad days away from putting all non-english people into labour camps. also all your favourite characters died trying to do what little they could. wouldn't that be crazy? anyway time for the daleks again

[cthulhum]

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.
