pretty much
the only 2 things that keep him going are his job and kim
LITERALLY
Stalin would save us.
Is Matt Christman better yet, fellow enlightened centrists?
>can't maintain a stable life
Besides the three day bender at the start of the game, he has a very stable life of showing up to work drunk and solving crime while drunk and high
the bender is a culmination of his drinking getting worse and worse
He's been a functional alcoholic for 10 or more years, the bender is the result of his depression getting worse
>functional
The fact that literally everyone from Precinct 41 is sick of Harry's shit suggests he's very much not functional, the amnesia might be new but this wasn't his first bender on the job
His ridiculously competent police record suggests otherwise. There was no point in his entire time in the RCM that he wasn't drinking, and every year it got worse but he still rose through the ranks like a man possessed by Justice itself.
I guess it depends what you mean by functional - he was able to hold down a job, sure, but he destroyed every relationship he had to the point where the man who used to be his best friend is ready to give up on him. Not to mention, The Unsolvable Case doesn't exactly paint a great picture of him as a drunk cop:
>The case becomes *considerably* less comic one day, when Burke takes a swing at your ledger. He must have it confused with the *property* he likes to damage. But the joke’s on him—the officer is also drunk. Way more drunk than Burke there, and let’s be fair, you also have *party eyes*. You slam the hardened plastic board in his face, then proceed to beat him unconscious with it.
>DAMAGED LEDGER: In the process the ledger sustains damage. The compartment within—reserved for permeable documents—is jammed shut. You stop your assault on the now-unconscious Burke to open it, but are unable to do so. *The officer began to cry*, reports Leslie, who at this point is tending to Burke. *He came at us*—*And at us*—*I think he was trying to kill Burke-o*. While trying to kill Burke-o, you slowly come around. The permeables’ compartment is open. You’ve smashed it open on poor Burke-o’s kneecaps. The good news is, Burke can’t walk anymore.
>You’ve smashed it open on poor Burke-o’s kneecaps.
The funny part is Harry has to bend it over his own knee to get it open himself
And he fights through that pain and his frick ups and comes out the other side having solved the case, discovered an extremely rare cryptid, and winning the hearts of the people of Martinaise. Its a story of hope and redemption. There's no journey gone so far that you can't stop and change direction.
What can change the nature of a man
alcohol
>What can change the nature of a man
if I recall right, Harry did change their nature
He crippled one for life, which made them stay indoors because they couldn't be outside together
Unless you don't do that and he gets put on "extended medical leave" by Vicquemare
that ending is fricking bleak
>A grey rain falls on Martinaise. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. Forever.
have you inspected the paperwork he threw in the trash container?
dude has quite the resumé
Of course, that's part of what makes the stories of his benders so harrowing and part of what makes his comeback so inspiring, assuming of course he does well, like
rightly points out, you can do the bare minimum and frick up along the way and still get suspended. Even then, nobody else thinks to inspect the islet before you
>implying normalgays want hopeful stories that show character growth
Enjoy your quippy dialouge.
He is fricking styling though. Bit of a receding hairline, but look how full bodied the rest of his hair is. And such strong facial hair genetics, too. The man looks good
dude looks like a damn peanut head with a clean shave
exactly, and he knows to keep his facial hair long. everyone talks about how he's such a huge frick up, but it's really just alcohol. he's exceptional at his job and has good looks
truth
unironically jealous
>Successfully shaved
>Successfully beat The Expression
>Everything is so much worse
The receding hairline + long hair combo is unfathomably based
If only he didn't look and smell like a floater
>slowly starting to bald
>stopped caring about how I look long ago
>only shorten my hair and shave when I feel itchy
I AM THE HOBO INDIFFERENCE
HOBOCOP
Move over redneck
>uncovered the drug trade
>found the dead guy on the boardwalk and brought the news to his wife
>took out all the mercs
>had the minimum amount of Hardie Boys casualties
>saved Kim
>got Titus to think about joining the RCM
>saved Klaasje and Ruby
>found the murderer, established a motive, got him to confess his involvement with the union
>put that gay Vicquemare in his place with my grade A coppering skills
>recruited Kim for Precinct 41
Only thing I failed at was to completely capture the Phasmid. Felt pretty damn good, that ending.
>uncovered the drug trade
But did you get the speedfreaks to admit Evrart paid them to setup a speed lab
Did you Evrart to admit to his entire plan for taking the harbour from Wild Pines and running drugs?
Or did you just snoop around Ruby like Joyce told you to?
Shieeeet, guess I'll have to do another playthrough then...
>saved bawd one and bawd two
That's where you messed up.
>Kill the spook
>Let one of the largest drug traffickers around kill themselves to put a halt on operation if at least for a short while
>Everything else
>catch the phasmid
true ending
>another day of no gf and working myself to death at a job that treats me like an overloaded machine
I don’t want to be this kind of animal anymore.
As long as you are working to save and meet a goal the suffering comes with life, more than ever these days.
life gets hard but we go on, bros
>ok you can't win but you're forced to fight and the alternative is rotting away, anyway that's your solution
is this game trying to people into alcoholics or something
you can't "win" because life is always gonna suck to some extent and no matter what you do you're still gonna die eventually, but that doesn't mean you should stop trying to live a good life. the central theme of disco elysium is more or less
>shit sucks and it's probably not going to get better but we have to try to make things better anyway because hope is based and giving up is far worse
>good life
what is a good life?
So, was Harry's squad on La Pita Madre's payroll or was Ruby just a paranoid tweaker? Obviously Heidelstam and Vicquemare would deny it in front of Kim.
Ruby's full of shit. Harry is the superstar of the Major Crimes Unit, who literally carried Vicquemare to the rank of Not-Captain-Twice, there'd be no reason to try and bribe the rest when Harry's a case solving machine all by himself
If they were, Harry's instability would be an asset, not a liability
Wow he's literally
here's your NEW protagonist bro
Text from the book that has nothing to do with an image of Harry is our new protagonist?
yea
Teeresz is even more fricked up. The moment I knew the book was going to be good was the reveal when Teeresz goes from chipper detective catching up with his two friends to taking LSD, cracking open a prisoners skull, laughing while playing with his brain matter, threatening to kill the prison guards if they interfere, then basking in the glory that he believes he solved the case after being handcuffed while still covered in blood.
Sounds pretty cringe
he was a chud so it was okay to mindrape and smash his brains out actually
>used to view my life as me being the main character of my own life
>enjoyed everything i did even if it was meaningless
>internet gaslit me into "r/maincharacter" type demoralization shit
>no longer enjoy anything
i hope you all die soon, everyone in this thread and everyone reading it
ngl this post has npc vibes senpai
>im immune to propaganda demoralization isn't real
kyselves
>kyselves
no thanks, i like myself and i like being alive
see? it's literally that easy
if you can have your entire worldview changed by homosexuals on the internet you probably weren't a very good main character
Is sauvoir faire the most useless skill in the game? I don't remember a single check for it, even conceptualization had some nice ones.
it is one of the most important skills in the game since you need it to dance in the church and teleport
The yellow skills have less interactions in general but remember a lot won't even show up if you neglect the stat entirely because they won't chime in to prompt the option in the first place
I think someone compiled a list of all passive/active skill checks and yeah, the yellow skills have the lowest amount of interactions
stop dialing
>i cant remember anything... just because I cant ok11!!!!!???? stop questioning the reason.... im just an alcoholic...!!!!
