These Are Three Of Kim's Possible Responses When Harry Tells Him He's Learned About The Pale And All

these are three of Kim's possible responses when harry tells him he's learned about the pale and all the 'stuck behind our eyes' lines make me feel insane. they have the same feeling to me as his 'abattoir' line — hinting at how much of Kim's inner life is characterised by terror, loss and isolation. he's sheltering in the safety of his skull but he's also completely trapped there.

which is why it's so good that he's so wrong. the world he lives in is one where people leak their perspectives, leave fingerprints on the world tape, where harry can figure out how to give a revolutionary high five and in doing so get a permanent buff to seeing from kim's perspective/reading his mind/whatever the fuck you want to say empathy and edc are up to. and obviously, mazov and nielsen had their own telepathic bond shit going on. people in elysium (especially massive communists) cannot stay behind their own eyes for shit. everyone is also kind of someone else. the world isn't what it is. get plasmed motherfucker

Re-Re-Re-mapping Revachol

… and the Insulinde as a whole

Very much inspired by ssshiversss and Map Max, whose versions of the map were absolutely invaluable for wrapping my head around this project. Combining their work with the original map of Jamrock, and doing my best to stay loyal to the (often contradictory) descriptions in the text of the game, I think I’m happy with what I’ve ended up with.

Much like my predecessors, I have elected to separate Coal City and La Delta, and in fact ignore any attempt by the game to convince me that La Delta is west of Martinaise. It just… It just isn’t.

Game description struggles aside, this was really fun!! Details/Description in the alt text.

The Insulindian Isola- at least a few of its 78,000 islands. The edges of the map fade into Pale, but I forgot to add the effect, so it's just cut off

Le Caillou, with a black star representing Revachol (just like in the game!)

A close up look at the delta of the Esperance and Revachol within it. I imagine there's more south, along the river, but I stuck with only named places for this

JAMROCK ROCK CITY BABY. I followed Map Max's lead and tilted the whole district, it just made more sense that way. Black is the 8/81, dark grey is Main, Perdition, and Boogie Street

Jamrock but with the OG topography lines. I really liked this detail on the original map. Cleaned it up and made some adjustments for personal preference.

I just like maps

(copied from a message a friend sent me. i thought you'd enjoy this)

hey i haven't watched the full thing but this is fuckin insane. i love this and hate this and I'm gonna rip my hair out and draw fanart about this probably. thanks for sending this.

EDIT: now I've watched the whole thing and holy fuck is it fascinating. fascinating and heartbreaking that regardless of it's authenticity it's not real. i was particularly and especially enthralled by the art of new characters and the hints of what would've potentially happened

Disco Elysium spoilers ahead.

One of the best things about Disco Elysium is the way in which it talks about having community, love, and support—or, perhaps more importantly, about not having it.

But you don't have to be alone. Not forever. Even we learn this, somewhere along the way. Take this interaction with The Pigs.

And then? What do we, a sad, lonely man, say to that?

I find myself thinking of our interaction with Tommy Le Homme…

… or even Idiot Doom Spiral.

What if you don’t have anyone, though? What if, rather than finding your way through your troubles, or making a family out of the people you have, you instead decide to turn away from the world?

That’s what happens with René.

It’s what happens with The Deserter too.

We see how that loneliness affected them. How it killed them, day by day. And how it doesn't have to be that way. How you can change.

This is a game about lonely people. Maybe one for lonely people too. And because of it, because of its community, we don't have to feel alone anymore.
