Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.
Khajiit has wares if you have coin
Dominic is one of the best champions of indie games there is!
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.
"Facism 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."
No problem! Thank YOU for making such a lovely game. :) <3
It really frustrates me that we continue to nominate and give awards for queer content to big AAA assholes doing the bare minimum with their eyes rolling and lips curled when there are so many queer indies out there putting their hearts on platters that get ignored because they don't have the budget
Alright, doing my first #LetterboxdFriday! I'm really happy with my last four.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.
I don’t want to post through this and I guess I still have shit to do but I am tired of people in power being selective over which of his dumb shit posts are policy and which are just posts, his ravings have ruined us already, his cronies have robbed us blind, how many does he have to kill, man
do we honestly have no way of ending a presidency for posting “a whole civilization will die tonight”

Disco Elysium and Paradise Killer are two VASTLY different games in art & vibes, and yet they're both detective games with themes of surviving under fascism, inside the colonial, capitalist machine, watching ppl be chewed up and spit out by it, and SOMEHOW they are also both extremely fucking funny
Please check out The Doll Shop on Steam! It's one of my most anticipated games right now. I played the original version on itch and loved its snowy Japanese village and contemplative horror story. Can't wait to play this expanded version!

An illustration by Skutch of me, Sarah Z, a white woman with brown-blonde hair in a pink button up shirt. I'm woman seated against patterned wallpaper, and behind me are four framed portraits. One is of Lady Jane Grey, one is of Hildegart Rodriguez Carbaillera, one is of Arsinoë IV, and one is of a woman shrouded in darkness who we can't really see.
My new video's here. THREE DEAD GIRLS I LOVE is out now on Nebula.
At two and a half hours, it's my longest and strangest video ever. It's also my favourite thing I've made. I hope you'll set aside an evening for it.
