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 thought it was a universal experience for the seventh grade teacher to get pregnant or the summer camp to get a toddler and for the boys to turn it into their absolute obsession (wholesome)

also i see maurice ashley teaches chess (CD-ROM from 1995) is on archive.org... that was always more my sister's game than mine but i bet it'd be a great nostalgic time for me too

thailand is one of the safest places in the world right now to be trans, but there is no way to change assigned sex on any legal documents & people were pushing back against trans women trying to advocate for this up until just 2025 when a bill for this began circulating in parliament

without disco there’d be no house music, and without that no Detroit techno and no raves. raving and techno are both Black creations, and it all traces back to disco.

curious what you'll think! luck!!

wordle solve with the words SWAMP TRICE IDYLL FIZZY (solved)

1 apr 2026

i thought this game was worthy of note. i call words like FIZZY "wordle siberia", so remote from usual 1st or 2nd moves that you are probably lucky to score better than 5. i was lucky; by my fourth move KINKY and JIFFY were still in play
