Devs are literal communists. Not sure why the chinks would have a problem with it.

Devs are literal communists. Not sure why the chinks would have a problem with it.

This meme has to die. Even if they'd be proper communists, it doesn't change the fact that Disco Elysium is subversive in its approach to ideologies and goes against the grain of socialist realist art (being instead a product of PoMo). If the Soviets had a problem with Gorky of all people, do you think that the PRC wouldn't take issue with ZA/UM?

Then again, I doubt that some Chinese bureaucrat had all the time required to absorb the full content of the game. And, as mentioned before, they did censor some things such as the word for communism in order to get the green light.

real-world western imperialism is loosely rebranded as the Moralist International

Retarded writer. This isn't "western imperialism", the MI represents the EU - the death of ideology and its being replaced by whatever technocratic measures serve the purpose of maintaining a productive and content society in the present context provided by scientific-technological advancements. The ideology of refusing ideology. The opposition of both individualists and collectivists - the herd of a self-conscious "middle class", grazing their way through life, or whatever the system offered them.

If the Chinese censors could comprehend what they were reading, they would have censored the game for the MI alone.

Because it doesn't matter if you're a communist (real or fake). What matters is that your message is in line with that of the party.

Censors are generally not very bright. That's why they're censors. It's a shit job, but somebody has to do it.

 

[fantadomat]

That's fake news. It passed censorship and is available on Chinese Steam. They told the censors it's about what happens when the people abandon Communism and submit to the liberal world order: alcoholism, corruption, poverty, drunks freezing to death in the streets. The censors loved it.

(And no, this one isn't shitposting.)

It is not far from reality tho . I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes mandatory in chinkland .

In 2019, Taiwanese-made horror game Devotion drew the ire of a significant number of Chinese gamers and the government when players discovered art assets that referenced a popular meme of comparing president Xi Jingping to Winnie the Pooh.

Random source:

Dear China,

Taiwan is the real China.

Regards,

Taiwan.

p.s: hahahaha Xi Jingping, fat-boy, eat too much sugar!!!11!

Disco Elysium Patch Notes 17.04.2020
Patch notes for version 38b5ff55

DISCO ELYSIUM Patch notes for version 38b5ff55 (viewable in the F1 menu, bottom right)

• Fixed some empty lines in formatted text. No character says a single empty line.
  
• Fixed some long text scrolling issues with different text sizes.
  
• Some items look different when they are empty and when they are not. Now it shows correctly in game.
  
• Underscore consistency fixes - underscores are now all proper underscores . If I may underscore it.
  
• Some non-important message missing in some cases, like “Heal yourself”
  
• Multiple thoughts appeared out of bound … we all know what that means, no?
  
• And last but not least: Improvements in text layouts when changing text sizes. Not a small print.

Take care and stay safe folks! Remember to report bugs here.

Is Joyce Messier always...

Spoiler

giving up the harbor to that fuck Evrart?

She asks my opinion, I tell her to bring all the forces and whipe him out, she the tells me a story and at the end she says that she will listen to my advice (what?) and abandons the harbor in the hands of Evrart.


Is this the only option the game has?

 

[ColCol]

Pretty much, I think it really is a manner of how much you can have her give Evrat.

Is Joyce Messier always...

Spoiler

Don't relay the news from Evrart. He's aware of Harry working for Joyce and makes up the full-scale confrontation.
