Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 27, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I bought Disco Elysium in 2019, immediately loved it, thought it was the funniest game I've ever played with fantastic writing. After about eight hours, the second area opened up, and I hit a wall. I was very fatigued by all the tangents and inner monologuing and not super interesting politicking, and so I got bored and stopped.

Two weeks ago, I gave DE another shot, and the exact same thing happened. I played slightly longer, but yet again hit a point where it was all too much and felt like a chore.

Is it worth me pushing through? Or should I just read a summary online?

Push through!!! I had fatigue in some similar areas, but god damn I stuck with it and it was worth it. Some of the scenes in the end that you won't get through any summary brought me to tears. I still think about them often.

It's one of those games that is an absolute work of art. Sometimes true works of art take effort.
