Not sure if thats a parody of Gamers complaining about "ugly" women or if they are serious and also stupid on the same level

Original Chuddish: "Hire fans lol"

Translated to English: "I've never once seen a real woman from up close (they always run away and call me a freak)"

Am I alone in finding the "fan" image for Ciri even more off-putting than the original one, even if Ciri was doing something where attractiveness was relevant? People who wear that much makeup end up in the uncanny valley for me.

She looks weird and vacant, like a literal sex doll. But I suppose that's what they want

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's a parody, but it'd be hilariously unhinged if it became real.

So poes law is alive and well.

There's no forcing. I actually didn't look in the mirror my first playthrough and I stand by that choice

[–] Kinakuta 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wait a minute, he looks different if you don't look in the mirror in his apartment? I think it's time I replay this game...

[–] voxthefox 13 points 2 months ago

Not different, it's just fuzzy and you can't make out the face, I did the same thing in one of my playthroughs

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Original portrait:

Bloated ruin of a cop.

After looking at the mirror (don't):

Guillaume le Million he ain't, Expression or not.

Shaved:

Now you're just looking like a pervert, Harry.

If you manage to get rid of the Expression:

Now, this might actually look like a police detective (after he's been beaten by the world for decades, drowned himself in enough drugs and alcohol to mummify a weaker man, and stuck his head in raw concentrated pale).

Shaved, no Expression:

I'm actually getting some early Sam Vimes / Harry Callahan vibes here. There might be hope for this version of Harrier Du Bois.

For some reason you also get a custom portrait if you go fascist enough:

Revachol forever... Harry, not so much.

And shaved fascist:

ACAB (except Innocence Kim “Kimball” Kitsuragi).

Games are fantasy and I fully support whatever you like to see. Want to see skimpy women? Excellent! Want to see Giga Chad dudes? You go girl! Want to see beat down dirty protagonist? That's a-ok!

This whole fighting and shaming for fantasy role-play needs to stop.

i still haven’t finished this game because i don’t want it to be over. even though i haven’t played it in months, i can take comfort in knowing im not truly done with it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's more to see if you go through it as a different "character"

[–] affiliate 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

my problem goes deeper than you might initially expect. i have made many many characters for this game. however, none of them have finished it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I sympathise with you here, and I won't urge you to finish it (because I know it's not that simple), but I do hope that you are able to some day, because the ending of the game is one of the things that is dear to my heart in the game (I am curious at what the furthest you've gotten in it is). It's not even that the ending is good — the reason I love it is because of how it hurts: it hurts because it means the game is finally over, and it also hurts because the characters in the game don't get the closure of an ending. Disco Elysium actually feels tremendously hopeful to me, but it's a weary, desperate kind of hope, because Revachol is sick and struggling; Martinaise, depressing shit hole that it is, reminds me of home — I say this with equal parts bitterness and affection. You would probably take away something different from the ending than I did, which is why I hope that you are able to experience it some day.

I still haven't finished this game because the variety of choices and behavior gives me paralyzing FOMO

[–] affiliate 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah i have been having that problem too. i kept making new characters and reloading saves to see what would happen. i know it ends up making the experience worse but i just can’t help myself. i need to know. i also need to have all the fun stat boosting items and then i find myself optimizing the fun out of the game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You can replay it, you know.

I actually thought this kind of degenerate nonsense was someone joking but today I saw a mod for Baldur's Gate 3 to make Gortash "handsome," so I'm obviously out of touch.

[–] VindictiveJudge 7 points 2 months ago

Gortash actually is supposed to be younger and more attractive, according to the narrator at several points.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

This is my favorite internet gag lately.

In my game I got him to stop grinning...

OG joel looks better. Only reason the new guy at the top looks better is because hes vaguely reminiscent of luigi

I only see a disco man, as handsome as Hjelmdallerman himself, doing THE EXPRESSION. I bet he is doing the fuck a lot.

[–] Thcdenton 9 points 2 months ago

Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

god, thanks to these meme, i hate all people equally again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I bet the people who do this aren't very attractive. So weird...

Time to go to work at the shit factory!

A male protagonist should always look like he either just fucked a bear, or got fucked by a bear. The one on the left meets both of these criteria and is passable.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hot Harry? 😨

Maybe I should drink less...

[–] rtxn 9 points 2 months ago

That's what I imagine Raphaël Ambrosius Cousteau looks like.

Wait, this isn't lemmy shiitpost?
