Disco Elysium is a 2019 (with full voice acting added in 2021) text-based cRPG that swooped a bunch of awards for its writing. Without diving into spoilers, I want to try and convey just how densely the script is packed with the central theme of failure and moving on.

Last Minute Essays is a creative project of mine, made solely because I know people prefer listening to rambling to reading it. And there's a lot of rambling that comes out of my brain which I want to get out into the world somehow.
