"I'm a man, I consider nothing human alien to me."
I've been obsessed with this quote ever since I've first read it years ago. It just encapsulates perfectly, at least for me, what it means to be an semi intelligent being trapped in a rotting monkey. Disco Elysium isn't afraid in talking about the ugly and the pathetic. It's a ballad for the losers of all the world which at the same time kindly reminds you of the virtue and the beauty you sometimes find between the heaps of shit. Yet it somehow doesn't feel anywhere near indulgent, on the contrary, it's scathing and it's cheeky and, ultimately, it's happy just to be able to be here.
"It's okay... I know how you feel... Let me tell you about the time I got SO drunk I forgot the world and had to learn it all over again. It's a hell of a history... If you find the time."
