Abnormal Mapping 102: Disco Elysium

We wake up in a nightmare of runaway neo-liberal capitalism and
find ourselves wondering where the potential of Communist
revolution is, and then we have to record a podcast about
detective RPG Disco Elysium! In this lengthy conversation, we
cover everything about what it means to make a world and say
things through art, and whether Harry and Kim can ever truly find
peace in such a broken world.


We are heavily indebted to the Waypoint Radio spoiler-cast over
Disco Elysium for covering much of the game in advance and making
our job easier in terms of getting into the weeds. We say so in
the episode, but please listen to their podcast ideally before
you listen to ours, as we reference it from time to time.
