Disco Elysium Playlist for Studying, Work, Relaxing (and contemplating life) 

Thx so much

My life is just constant Polyhedrons

How much different would it be at 8am than at noon? It's a 4 hour difference in the morning.

@@lotanowo Its the name of 2 different songs mate. One being Whirling-in-Rags at 8AM and the other being Whirling-in-Rags at 12PM. The music changes at Whirling-in-Rags throughout the day.

@@danielgilliam8327 you’re right, I forgot about that, though I had a feeling this was on purpose

Those are two pretty good things

This most importent thing about it is that DE made people to debate, not argue.

I feel like the world of disco elysium deserves so much more, book series, movies, tv shows, more games, theres so much lore to explore...

I have hope that someone will make a fan-game one day

the original devs will make a spiritual successor@@hollowman9410

yeah lets Disney it!@@shubhod9569

I hope not. They are currently hiring new staff.

@@Jenjak Yes but the original creative staff and directors have been fired. Unfortunately any new Disco games will be hollow mimicries of the original.

@@DeroriMusic And the original Author of the Book the universe is based on is suing ZA/UM most likely to get the rights for it back. Hope he wins.

@@MrRicktastic Already happened a year ago or so. It just recently came to light though. Basically the investors from Londond kicked out the original members of the ZA/UM collective and the wirters and I think creative Director of the ZA/UM studio. So, the studio in it current state has not a lot to do anymore with the DE creators. Now they have job postings looking for "Monetisation Experts" and might do a TV show with Amazon, which considering the themes of DE is a slap in the face for the fans and creators of course.

God tier comment.

I’d like to get some input from my necktie first, if you don’t mind

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: LET THE MUSIC GO THROUGH YOUR BODY. FIND SOME DRUGS, PARTYCOP. VOLITION: Don't let him ruin the moment, be sober and enjoy the music. EMPATHY: I agree. Finally you feel happy at least for an hour.

I love this comment

unrealistic, we all know kim is on that 24/7 sigma male grindset

art 🎨 ?

@@Ottrond yes

agreed! agreed!

Recomend you to try Pathologic 2))

Greatest artistic experience of 2021, for sure.

You're right bro. Big respect my dude.

Overly pretentious**

You can't be pretentious and sincere, my dude.

@@JH-up5zj Psuedo-intellectual yet sincere, is another way of putting it.

its* soundtrack

I just tried to bake a cake. Thank heavens everything was in the oven by the time La Revacholiere hit, cause I'm fucking bawling

Yeah, The Insulindian Miracle just makes me think about... things About how the game's world setting is so tragic, and how this all Pale thing sounds kinda similar to space in our world

I do it. I suffered through three periods of depression, psychosis and suffer from chronic pain. I just learned to be at peace with it all...Most of the time. You just learn to cherish those few moments where the pain isn't that strong or maybe even rarely just not there. So...sorry, can't teach you. But you'll get there, it might just get a whole lot worse before it gets any better.

@@user-xw7kp2ye6c I kind of thought of the Pale as a metaphor for global warming.

@@user-xw7kp2ye6c yeah, reminds me of something deep, like the space exploration or the fact that we all will perish without knowing answers to some of the important questions...

@@michimatsch5862 I have a love hate relationship with those tracks. On one hand, I find them incredibly beautiful and one of the most emotional music that I had ever listened to, on the other hand when I am listening to them it feels like falling into neverending pit...like in a good way...but in a bad way. It has a "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter kind of a vibe to it (do not listen to it if you do not want to relive the most emotional memories from your past)

But see to me that point is absolutely valid but the game also gives an answer to that feeling. The idea that giving into that melancholy is just as bad as the unmerited shit. To me, it’s a beautiful game about getting knocked down and getting back up. Addressing, then Compressing your shit and trying your best to be a better person for it. Harry got up every time, and so can I.

"Un jour je serai de retour près de toi"

your English is literally perfect

wait for DE2!!! i hope

mfers really do be like "Deepest apologies for any and all improper use of the English language in my transcribed thoughts, my dearest."

Your English is better than 99% of native English speakers.

You shouldn't be sorry by not being good in a language that is not your main one.

Yeah even when I replayed it, I still chose the same path.

Ok, I was about to eat, so I was looking for a video to watch, saw this playlist, remembered how incredible it and the game was (didn't finish it, so guess what I'm playing tonight), then read your comment and kinda teared up while listening to Instrument of surrender. I think you are absolutely right about the game and the soundtrack (thanks for the band name btw, they are utterly amazing). I personally associate them both primarily with my own experience - the soul-tearing existential woe of realising how limited our time here is, that there will be a last time with every single person (and pet :( ) I know and love, one way or another; with me failing myself and others; with my struggle to embrace much needed change and other personal inadequacies. But at the same time the game and especially the soundtrack remind me how absolutely, incredibly gorgeous existance on this planet is, how there is always a warm glimmer of love, hope and joy just for their own sake, both within and without. This bittersweet mixture of somber melacholy and joyful gratitude has always been somewhere on my mind, sometimes background, sometimes foreground, and I too both love and hate it, but if someone came to me and offered to magically remove this specific feeling from my mind, I would refuse without a second thought. Seeing the beauty in the smallest things and always having love in my heart is well worth the melancholy, I think. And now my damn soup is cold.

@@kristapsmuravjovs7061 My cereal got soggy too, don't worry about it. Just small sacrifices we make on the road to a deeper understanding of ourselves and eachother. :)

@@valensky3339 NO, IT GOT COLD AND Y'ALL ARE AT FAULT! Just kidding obviously, I love nothing more than to see likeminded people not only ponder, but also really feel a similar way I do - usually it doesn't matter, but when it comes to this kind of tough-to-formulate, deep, if you will, stuff, I sometimes feel really isolated and alone, so a cold dinner is better than a cold heart, I say, haha. Cheers, much love!

Just gonna be that guy and point out that Egg is 40 or something 😊

It's a big dirty wall waiting to be drawn on

you can tell this game was written by actual communists because man, being a communist in the game is a fucking gut punch.

LONG LIVE REVACHOL!!! DEATH TO THE PUTRID COMMUNISTS

​ You: (Roll up your sleeves and start building Communism.) Rhetoric: Oh yeah! Get the firing squads and the animal wagons ready! You: Wait, what? Firing squads? You didn't say anything about those. Rhetoric: Too late to back out now. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few million eggs!

Very sorry to hear that, my condolences and I hope you find some solace. There's a lot of melancholy and sadness to the games' soundtrack, but hopefully it's also a reminder of all the fleeting joy and beautiful moments we had & can have with our loved ones. Take care!

​@@fearprophetsadso7843 Oh, it definitely is hopeful, I think! I'm Polish, I really resonated with the world of Disco Elysium. For me it was a story about finding meaning and a purpose for yourself in a very scarred, very beautiful world.

Après le monde, le gris. Après le gris, le monde encore 🌍🌫🌫🌫🌏

@@arbuz_kawon współczuję, stary... I życzę powodzenia. Muzyka jest naprawdę niesamowita, jak i sama gra

Un Jour Je Serai de Retour Prés de Toi...

Sunrise Parabellum

canonically i'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is

Which also really fits hangover atmosphere

Detective?

@@TheRealOod Arriving on the scene!!

You should get a comfier chair.

Hey man, I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that. Just know that one day you'll find that phasmid, even if it seems ethereal and unattainable at the moment. For now, keep on trekking along, hobocop.

Authority: nor should you!

Electrochemistry: it's all a memory baby! A sweet, cold, synapse of something or another. The best part is its someone else's problem now. Now the party really starts!

Maybe you should play it! It's really good.

Surprised me too. Hope it will stay up and that you'll have many great listening hours! Cheers!

@@fearprophetsadso7843 Yeahhh!!! Thank you for great list. I'm also so happe that it's back here. it's ideal for deep thinking on something or for work, studying. Have a nice 2024 year))

I think that’s kind of the point. It’s the unique combination of depression and bitter sweet memories that comes with a poverty stricken place in winter. It’s something people in the northern United States know to well these days.

as a ukrainian, i completely understand you.

@@theslavbeing335 as a ukrainian, i completely disagree. I find this OST rather life-asserting, even the saddest pieces of it. The game is about falling, hitting the very bottom, but standing again to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. And soundtrack praises it as well. So, it depends not on the country of origin, but rather on the listener himself. One hears what he wants to hear.

@@ldSt3345 I didn't say that i agree with the author, just that i understand. For me it was also very upbringing and good to hear. There is a lot of sadness and loss in the soundtrack, but a lot of hope and kindness too, and the atmosphere in that game was amazing.

@@ldSt3345 Кстати, Слава Україні :)

8 am and 12 pm on my morning/evening alarm

@Fundamentally Unorothdox I am still a Bioshock fan but now with Ken Levine gone I don't have high hopes for the franchise anymore.

ZA/UM nailed this game it's one of the best things i ever played. But I did just read that their shareholders have forced out Kurvitz and all the key creators/founders.... so screw that company from now on.

@@AlleywayJack yeah, I have seen that… ZA/UM is now looking for a monetization specialist to develop "lifecycle monetization strategies" and "live service content" for an upcoming game… RIP ZA/UM RIP Disco Elysium universe

Hope you are safe, man. Greetings from the neighbouring Hungary.

Blessings to you from Almighty God and from the USA.

​@@devo076 Step 1: Ignore Russia's security concerns for over 20 years. Step 2: Throw a hysterical hissy fit when Russia does what Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the US are doing literally simultaneously. Step 3: Declare a total economic war on Europe's biggest commodity supplier and support a proxy war with endless amounts of printed cash and weapons Step 4: Slide into economic ruin yourself and destroy your citizens standards of living. Step 5: Profit? Oh no, wait, internet points can't save lives. Oh well! Putin did nothing wrong.

they are preparing a lawsuit

totally it's mind blowing

I love it and I hope that they make another adventure game. I would love if it shares the same setting (I think new characters or locale might actually benefit the writers though), but I would take anything created with as much love and passion as Disco Elysium.

@@wurzzzz it looks like they are working on a sci fi game now, which sound incredibly exciting. I hope they call it "disco infinitum".

Not now they've sacked the guys that created this game so they could sell the rights to Amazon.

must play planetscape then

@@ydbarret22 I highly recommend it for sure! Just be prepared for some clunkiness, as the game is simply pretty old at this point.

I would add KOTOR II which was written by the same guy as Planescape. Even used some of the material left over from it.

I'll add fallout nv to that list. I think it's one of the most well-written crpg's to date

Yeah, I'm trying not to tear up too during listening Whirling-In-Rags (8 a.m.) because of realization of the fact that we might never see the sequel of of this true piece of art. It's almost physically painful

It is an amazing book indeed :)

I hope you're doing better now. For what it's worth, as someone a little past 40, eventually you get better at carrying these burdens. Forgiving yourself is difficult, but time and perspective help. Good luck.

@Josh Smith I do, thanks a lot

@@MythicFox Time and perspective really did help. Still I think about it a lot, thanks a lot for your comment.

@@positivethinking5174 i've been there plenty of times, and my wifes from another post soviet country - anything in particular you had in mind?

Yea, I'm from Latvia and this game really vibes with me for that exact reason - the stories from parents and grandparents, communism, all the history, industrial feeling, etc.. it feels really simmilar to everything the baltics went through under the boot of USSR

I think that's spot-on. The developers mentioned many times how their experience of the post-soviet era had inspired the game. Lead writer Helen Hindpere has specifically said that Revachol is inspired by Tallinn, with a good amount of French influence and mysticism thrown on top of it: “Revachol sounded like the name of a city that could be the capital of another world. A place where (for some improbable, magical reason) Paris and Tallinn meet. A place with a very specific feeling that lingers on long after you’ve left.” (source: wireframe.raspberrypi.org/articles/disco-elysium-designing-the-city-of-revachol ). Having been to Tallinn, it's actually pretty easy to spot some of the similarities. The city used to have fairly big industrial and harbor districts that were dilapidating by the 90s (until a huge wave of industrial revitalization that began in the 2000s; now they look beautiful and have become really hip - although I'm sure that did bring some tension in itself because of gentrification), you can hear seagulls practically everywhere, and it's also easy to spot small old wooden churches around the city and near the port. Considering that the creators are originally from Estonia, it's no wonder that there's an immense amount of inspiration drawn from Tallinn & the Baltic region, as well as Easter Europe, when it comes to Revachol and the game's story.

To be honest it has a small cult following here in Russia as well, mostly among younger folks who did not catch USSR in their conscious years. I'm really curious to show the game to my father who was born in the 60s

@@arturs8463 Not only balts, Russians as well. Everyone suffered in this barn of nations, which is by the way perfectly portrayed in Disco Elysium.

So far, 0.0001% of communism has been built.

@@krasmasov6852 I feel like those numbers are too high :c
