Damn, I’ve really got to try out Disco Elysium.

[(Anonymous)]

Disco Elysium is one of those "complete package" games for me. Amazing dialogue, interesting story, well-written characters, beautiful art, and a stellar soundtrack. Whole thing has really stuck with me. The situation with ZA/UM was messy on all sides and so unfortunate.

[(Anonymous)]

It's so tragically poetic that what kept a proper sequel from happening were stoogy capitalists seeing dollar signs when presented with such a critically acclaimed potential IP to add to their portfolio. Capitalism breeds something, but it sure isn't innovation.

[(Anonymous)]

There are plenty of ways we could get another game like DE; gaming is rife with spiritual successors to IPs the creators wanted to work with but couldn't get the rights to. If the original makers of DE have more games in them, it could even be them that end up making one, but it's not like no one else could possibly imagine anything similar ever again.

And while it does look very unlikely that we'll ever get a SEQUEL, even that isn’t entirely out of the question. Kurvitz could regain the IP rights eventually somehow, or if not he could do a stealth sequel. Nature finds a way.

[(Anonymous)]

The situation is sad and messy but... I do not want a sequel, or a tv adaptation or anything else. DE (Final cut) was perfection as it was to me. I even frown at the new merch. But I love the game so, so much.

[(Anonymous)]

I get sad every time I'm thinking about it. Sure we may get some "inspired by DE" games, but I mourn the world/lore of the original Disco Elysium. It's so clear that there was so much more they could've told us, a lot of it. They could've done it for literal decades. Yet here we are.
I do understand that the management of ZA/UM only has money on their minds, but what are they gonna do now, after they fired all the original creators? Sure, they may have the dev logs and resources and stuff, but really? Up to an every high-involved writer?
I do know I'm not gonna play it, IF they'd manage to release anything at all, whenever.

Also, the simple fact that they can't fix obvious bugs in DE:FC even now, months later after release, yet do fancervice DLC. This studio is DEAD dead.

Yeah, fandom has felt fractured for many years now. I actually started using DW specifically because I desperately missed the LJ fandom days. So much of fandom has become focused on consuming, and the entire (gestures vaguely) harassing people for "icky" fan content. It's exhausting, and I miss when people could show up into any new fandom and just... have discussions. Make friends quickly and easily. Not burn through interests every few weeks.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, me too. I went through some of the tags my DW the other day (all my LJ entries are migrated over) and it was such a reminder of how fun the LJ days were, and the great conversations that happened in journals. I miss that!

Tumblr kind of sucks. A lot.

1. I love the design of this secret. Colors, picture, font, placing. A+

2. BIG same. And I haven't felt that sense of community in years but I still cling to fandom hoping to find it again. I think I need to realize I'm living in the past and move on, but I just can't seem to make myself do it.

I aspire to this. Not so much things I haven’t seen, but certainly the large catalogue of things I’ve seen and enjoyed.

[(Anonymous)]

I have over 250 movies on DVD. I usually get movies I've watched before and liked, though there have been some exceptions (and I've been given a few as gifts).

That scene is amongst the best of all time imho. In grief I’d have periods of numbness and watching that really helped me feel something again.

I do think the ships involving Kira and a Cardassian are some of the best (Kira/Damar and Kira/Dukat are my faves, but I would say yes to Kira/Garak, Kira/Natima, Kira/Iliana, Kira/Tekeny, or basically any pairing you can come up with), so in that sense I kinda agree with the sentiment of the secret.

But mainly in a joking way -- being serious, it's kinda obvious why Kira has so many Cardassia-related plotlines and connections. If you're a colony of an imperial power, your cultures do end up being entwined in unavoidable ways. For example, there's often a lot of emigration from colonies to the empire, so it wouldn't surprise me if 10-20 years after the occupation ended, you had a bunch of Bajorans living on Cardassia, or if even Bajorans still on Bajor spoke fluent Cardassian, or if Bajorans sent their kids to be educated in Cardassian schools, for example. Being a terrorist who plotted the overthrow of the colonial government wouldn't really make someone immune to that inevitable entanglement between Bajor and Cardassia.

I'm surprised that asexual people are writing anything sexual at all.
