Moral of the story: Tõnis Haavel is an incompetent, vindictive, corpo hack
That this shit had to happen to Disco Elysium is equally poetic and tragic. This went to be my instant favourite game of all time.
- That game is a work of art. I haven't finished it, I stopped and moved on, yet it hold a very special place in my mind. That a game I want to go back to when I'll have time for a quiet binge.
  
  Same, I need too much mental space for it, it's so engaging that I want to actually have the room to enjoy it. When I do I love it, but when I don't I kind of don't want to disrespect it and my enjoyment of it with a half attentive state.
- I kinda want to read some of the books the writer of the game has written. They're apparently a published author.
  
  I know at least some of them are in the same universe even.
- I struggle to get into it. Haven't gotten past the shit kid outside
  
  Yeah, the first boss fight. Give it another shot and fall for the wonderful game forever.
Salt on wound.
