Holmes does not, in fact, have his shit together
And yet Colombo does in fact have all his shit together just messily stacked in a pile.
Somewhere in the middle is sam vimes with just blind stubborness getting him through most of his work
Screaming “THAT IS NOT MY COW! WHERE IS MY COW?” while on a rampage is a big falling apart vibe though
Ya it’s bit of a pendulum or even a circling motion for him
I just started playing Disco Elysium, I’m about 3 hours in and I have no idea what I’m doing. The voice acting is fantastic though, so that’s nice!
Yeah I’ve put about 5 hrs off and on and the entire time just feel like I’m fucking it all up.
That’s a normal feeling, and one that I think is intended. Disco Elysium is a game that is, fundamentally, about being a fuck-up.
Vibes are the strongest tool in a detectives arsenal. That, and a hideous necktie
There are two tools in a detectives arsenal - vibes, a hideous necktie and the use of deduction. There are three…
…I’ll come in again.
I’ll have to be the one who asks who those people are.
Upper left: Sherlock Holmes Upper right: Inspector Columbo Lower right: The Detective of the video game „Disco Elyseum“
I don’t know who‘s the guy on lower left.
If you don’t know Columbo or the game, I recommend both. Best go in without much knowledge about them. It will be fun.
On the lower left is FBI agent Dale Cooper from the “Twin Peaks” TV series.
Highly recommend watching the original show just a lil high. Not too much, you’ll lose the thread. But if you keep in the zone, it’s a wild wild ride.
Still cannot believe that show was on primetime broadcast television in the 90s, it’s the perfect marriage of art and commercial filmmaking. And the whole country was OBSESSED with it. Really wish we had more weird, beautiful stuff like it Twin Peaks =\
And the whole thing was David Lynch taking the piss out of other primetime shows.
I understand it was a big hit in Japan. Which seems weird, but alongside their apparent appreciation for King Of The Hill, it makes sense: these shows are Americans exaggerating Americana. Cooper is even enough of an outsider to appreciate it in-universe. With aggressive sincerity.
He’s FBI agent Dale Cooper from real life.
Lower left is Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks
Lower left is the detective from Twin Peaks.
