User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

I'm yapping & maybe I'm boring but I really hate how common leaks have become - games, movies, tv shows. All for engagement. And it's almost always rewarded.

Idk, I guess I just miss being surprised by announcements.

you seem to think there's no reason to live because you will die someday. and so you are already dead. and acting weird, with an eroded personality.

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

I think it's sad that ghosts can apparently only communicate with the living by randomly opening cabinets and making chairs roll around. that must be so frustrating for them

I was just thinking how hard it is to say you want a relationship that isn't sexual or romantic, but is physical.
Everything means sex 😭

IRL I'm not really interested in either, but I would kill for a friend who felt comfortable holding hands or cuddling up for a show or literally sleeping together

I shouldn't find this sort of thing funny, but mentions of Kanye West's antisemitic stuff always feel like parody to me? Like usually in situations like this there was a hot mic or an ill-advised joke or a statement whose intent can be debated.

green is not a creative color

2 weeks ago 5 0 1 0

my advice to all aspiring artists: if you ever find yourself going "well grass is green so lemme just color this grass green" that's the devil talking. color it pink or purple or blue or orange or brown or white or black. color perception is based on context and you are god so you decide the context
