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.

The quality of big animated movies dropped considerably when studios decided they needed to be voiced primarily by A-list celebrities who primarily just play themselves, and aren’t as talented as skilled voice actors.

New friend said she always mixes up which thread is warp (vertical) and which is weft (horizontal), so I told her to just remember that warp goes up and down and weft goes weft to wight and if anybody else has made that joke before please don't tell me because I was SO pleased with myself 😤

They’re called Meta Glasses because if you’re wearing a pair everyone assumes you’ve never meta woman.

I respect trans people, so it's such a little thing for me to not watch the Harry Potter trailer or show. The proceeds from that property go directly to funding anti-trans work. It's a straight line from HP to destroying lives.

I can actually SAVE TIME by not supporting this. It requires NOTHING.

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service!

If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

etiquette/we live in a society protip: If you are in a public setting, and you want to listen to something on one of your devices, you *need* to wear headphones. If you do not have headphones, you do not get to listen to the thing. Do not make your lack of preparation everyone else's problem.

It looks so good!!!

Just wrote a mini essay about what it was like to be on tumblr November 5th 2020 and I really forgot how wild of a day that was

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
