Contemporaries @ Post45 Jess Anderson Carl White Michael Docherty and of course, solidarity with present and ex writers and staff at ZA/UM who have spoken out about their working conditions and whose plight should not be taken lightly. they're the reason we have so much to say and why anyone would want to talk about DE in years to come ✊
New writing up with Contemporaries @ Post45. In which I try to think about video games, political commitment, and why I don’t drink anymore.

I don't play a lot of videogames these days, but Disco Elysium stopped me in my tracks when I first played it in 2021. When Jess Anderson and Carl White pitched Contemporaries @ Post45 a cluster about it, I knew we had to go there. Delighted to share all this great work.
huge thank you to Contemporaries @ Post45 and to Jess Anderson , Carl White and Michael Docherty for shaping this into something really special. Im still in awe of being amidst such incredibly talented individuals and Im excited for you all to see what we've been up to

Biggest thanks to editors Carl White and Jess Anderson, to t allen and Contemporaries @ Post45, and of course to covid for sick days playing this mad game
Finally, for Emily Price, “Disco Elysium never promises a transcendental connection across class, profession, or species, but it does present the possibility for connection through a shared space”

“To build communism, in this game,” writes Mark Steven, “is to experience a hangover but with no recollection of the revelry in whose aftermath we now subsist. . . . It might be as close to meaningful political work as any video game has ever come”

Writing on Disco Elysium’s complex “digital apparition,” saad (the band) is unraveling finds that “between the construction of its environment, its interface and the machinations of the game's code exists a modulation between affect and autonomy”

Joe Worthen For Dylan Davidson, Disco Elysium's portrait of an unraveling mind “heightens our awareness of the mismatch between collective problems and individual-based therapeutic solutions” and “interrogates the language of private perfection and self-improvement”

In Joe Worthen’s essay, Disco Elysium achieves “narrative superposition,” a state “defined by the complexity necessary to create the illusion of narrative consequence in player choice even where there is none”
