Freelancers are often kept isolated, which presents a challenge when it comes to organizing. This panel explores how freelancers support each other and build collective power.
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.

As you all know myself and 33 others were fired from Rockstar Games in what we believe was a ruthless and illegal act of Union Busting. We're fighting this tooth and nail. If you are able, please consider donating to our fighting fund so we can hold them to account!! 🌱✊

Yesterday, we were recognized in Fast Company's annual "Most Innovative Companies of 2026" gaming list.
This recognition comes as a surprise to us, as we're not a company.
We are game workers demanding dignity in an industry that treats us as disposable, even from the companies represented here.
I think that game executives are mistaken. It's the video game industry, not the game worker destruction industry
Let's remind them

Union workers send a message to game industry execs: 'Let go of the power now, or be forced to let go of it later.'

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.

Every day there are new reports of ICE detaining and targeting our communities. Video game devs and the workers who keep our workplaces running are not safe from this.
That’s why we’ve launched WE DON'T PLAY WITH ICE, a campaign demanding companies commit to becoming 4th Amendment Workplaces.
