Things I Learned From Disco Elysium (20 Hours In):

Adventurous facial hair, August, 2013.

Never look up to someone who looks down on you.

Never look down on someone who looks up to you.

Very well phrased. It's a transformative experience.

me recommending disco elysium: "it's going to be so uncomfortable. you play as the saddest alcoholic detective you've ever seen and you spend the first part of the game realizing how much you have fucked up before the start of the story. the humiliation can potentially kill you. the secondhand embarrassment might kill you as the player. kids on drugs will call you slurs. there are ghosts everywhere and the city is a ruin. it's also the most hopeful and poetic work of fiction i have ever experienced."

sharing

A couple who were attending a wedding reception spent a long time in line to meet the wedding party and congratulate the newlyweds. By the time they were finally able to go sit down, both of them were extremely thirsty.

"I'll go get us some drinks. What would you like?" the man asked his companion.

"Anything is fine. I'm too parched to be picky. Whatever you can get quickly."

The man nodded and went off to survey the drink options. First he went to the bar where spirits and mixed drinks were being served, but there were already so many other guests waiting to be served that he realized it would be a long wait.

The next option was a table where various wines were available, but once again there were so many people sampling wines and taking forever to decide which one they wanted that he gave up in frustration.

The beer table was no better. He had been hoping to just grab a couple of bottles and go, but the beer was being served draft style and many guests were already waiting in line for their turns.

He was about to give up in despair, when he finally noticed a table where punch was being served.

Much to his relief, he realized that there was no punch line.
