Comments

Ben and Tao introduce themselves and the podcast before jumping straight into a forensic analysis of the hilarious and novel RPG game, Disco Elysium. Topics include censorship, discrimination and politics in game stories, save scumming, whether Ben’s an unlucky person, gaming alter-egos and breaking the rigid gamer mindset, and the merits of an in-game sidekick. Spoilers.

Content Warning: PEGI 16. Very strong language. Reference to drugs, violence, discrimination and war crimes.
