I love that when you buy the board game in disco elysium Kim tries to be like "oh no... we shouldn't... we should stay focused..." and pretend like he doesn't care about the game but as soon as you start satisfyingly pop out the cardboard pieces he's like "hEY let ME do some jeez..."

OH and don't think i wasn't Having Thoughts about that racist lorry driver/trucker and the conversation you have with him...
"Welcome to Revachol, how long will you be staying, Eternal Foreigner Asian-coded-person?"
A Wild piece of world building, where different human races are a) established and b) done in such a way that there are generations and centuries-old animosities between them. Like the creators? Put this? In there? AND clearly imply that the racists are the ones making society so fractured and dangerously shitty???
Also a dead on hit, pushing back against the "but where are you REALLY from" question. Putting it it a game and having the character/person who would normally have to grimace politely and smooth over such a microaggression, ACTUALLY REACT ANGRILY AND STAND UP FOR HIMSELF? AND prompting you to stick up for him too!
Okay okay so they DID put 300 level socio-racial concepts & commentary in the game. In this videoed game where I can dig in trash for clothes and recycle bottles for money to buy action figures...I continue to be further Fascinated...

One of the reasons i love orv so much is that kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk (and a good deal of the cast) are in their late 20s, a small thing that’s really lacking in popular media tbh. Kim dokja is nearly 30 but he’s not the side character/mentor figure. He’s not someone at the end of his story because he’s “old.” Life is starting for him and he’s on this journey filled with ups and down. He finds love in so many forms at such intense levels. As someone approaching 30 as well, someone the world expects to be stable and done and boring, it’s just comforting to know that i can still go on adventures and fall in love and just live.

How selfish must we be?
that our small salvations
are worth tearing the stars asunder
If I could see you again
I'd tell you over, and over
and over again
