“available with premium subscription” “will be removed on the 31st” “available free with ads” “rent 4.99 buy 20.00″ “not available in your country” “not available on this device” what if every streaming service fucking killed itself and films ran around their fields free and organic in their natural state
disco elysium fanfiction is great because its either "kim and harry must uncover a series of increasingly complex murders while the city of Revachol waits for the revolution with bated breath" or "harry discovers he's into piss and begs everyone in the precinct to use him as a urinal" and really both are equally plausible. perhaps in the same universe, even
When I first got to the whistle scene I thought "how cute, Kim sits on the swing facing Harry ready to comfort him :)" but I've since realised that's not cute okay the sadistic little fuck wants to witness all the life drain from Harry's eyes, he wants to be able to pin point the exact moment Harry's soul escapes him and engrain it in his memory when Harry realises how badly he's fucked up
There's so much care from Kim in this scene that I genuinely can't parse this interpretation I'm sorry.

He joins in with the whistling! He lets his composure slip for a moment to keep Harry company! Two birds on a wire!

Trying to cheer Harry up! People are more valuable than machines! That's a really important line in the context of the rest of the game, with Harry trying to make himself into a case-solving machine and ignoring the harm it's doing to his body and his community!

It's always darkest before the dawn! No matter what topic Harry tries to talk about, Kim still says something painfully hopeful at the end.

Harry can literally heal morale from Kim's attempts to cheer him up. This scene imo is a really good example of Kim's inherent kindness that is constantly at risk of being strangled out of him by the RCM (just like when he offers Acele his special jacket because she looks cold!). The humanity and connection, even if he doesn't get exactly what Harry is going through and even though it's getting in the way of the investigation. Just sitting with Harry and helping him come to terms with it all. Two birds on a wire, you know?
people with medical issues are not “putting a strain on the medical system”. that’s what the medical system is for. yes this includes people with substance use related medical issues and other people often considered undeserving of help
at this point I wish advertising in general was just literally illegal. Word of mouth only. Maybe exceptions beneath a certain net value like if you’re a startup or a family run business but if you’re already making a billion dollars then making even one single commercial or banner campaign should be a crime and I mean a crime like the CEO gets investigated on national television and goes to prison forever and everyone agrees they’re a sick fucked up maniac
