Holmes does not, in fact, have his shit together

[-] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 23 points 4 months ago

And yet Colombo does in fact have all his shit together just messily stacked in a pile.

Vibes are the strongest tool in a detectives arsenal. That, and a hideous necktie

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

There are two tools in a detectives arsenal - vibes, a hideous necktie and the use of deduction. There are three...

...I'll come in again.

I recently learned of a British version of Dirk, circa 2010. I'd seen the Elijah Wood version, and this is a nice addition.

I just started playing Disco Elysium, I'm about 3 hours in and I have no idea what I'm doing. The voice acting is fantastic though, so that's nice!

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Yeah I've put about 5 hrs off and on and the entire time just feel like I'm fucking it all up.

[-] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 23 points 4 months ago

That’s a normal feeling, and one that I think is intended. Disco Elysium is a game that is, fundamentally, about being a fuck-up.

[-] shani66@ani.social 16 points 4 months ago

Congratulations that means you are getting into the vibe

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 8 points 4 months ago

The game is least forgiving in the first few days, after that, it really opens out into people remembering the choices you've made in the game. Even if you've still been making bad choices, it's pretty fun from there.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I too am taking advantage of the summer sale and am about 20 hours in and still wildly infatuated with this weird, weird amazing game.

After a while you start getting a slightly better idea of what's going on, but that doesn't make it more "game like" if anything, the more you learn about the game, the more it reveals itself to be a giant tool to explore meta-narratives and there are some moments of conversation regarding this that are absolutely chilling.

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

I'm currently about 25 hours in. It's so damn good.

Somewhere in the middle is sam vimes with just blind stubborness getting him through most of his work

[-] dwemthy@lemdro.id 5 points 4 months ago

Screaming "THAT IS NOT MY COW! WHERE IS MY COW?" while on a rampage is a big falling apart vibe though

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Ya it's bit of a pendulum or even a circling motion for him

[-] seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM@feddit.de 22 points 4 months ago

I'll have to be the one who asks who those people are.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 33 points 4 months ago

Upper left: Sherlock Holmes Upper right: Inspector Columbo Lower right: The Detective of the video game „Disco Elyseum“

I don’t know who‘s the guy on lower left.

If you don’t know Columbo or the game, I recommend both. Best go in without much knowledge about them. It will be fun.

[-] RagnvaldG@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

On the lower left is FBI agent Dale Cooper from the "Twin Peaks" TV series.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Highly recommend watching the original show just a lil high. Not too much, you'll lose the thread. But if you keep in the zone, it's a wild wild ride.

Still cannot believe that show was on primetime broadcast television in the 90s, it's the perfect marriage of art and commercial filmmaking. And the whole country was OBSESSED with it. Really wish we had more weird, beautiful stuff like it Twin Peaks =\

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

And the whole thing was David Lynch taking the piss out of other primetime shows.

I understand it was a big hit in Japan. Which seems weird, but alongside their apparent appreciation for King Of The Hill, it makes sense: these shows are Americans exaggerating Americana. Cooper is even enough of an outsider to appreciate it in-universe. With aggressive sincerity.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

D‘oh!

Thanks!

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Lower left is the detective from Twin Peaks.

[-] ashestosea@midwest.social 7 points 4 months ago

Lower left is Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

He's FBI agent Dale Cooper from real life.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Lower left is detective Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

~~Lower left is Ace Ventura, no?~~

Ah wait, I'm really wrong - it's Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.

[-] magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org 12 points 4 months ago

Correct answers only.

  • Top left: Tony Starks Dad from the iron man movies

"Are women bourgeois?" - A Man With A Funny Tie

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

Holmes was a mess.

He was unpopular at school; hung out with the lower classes; used cocaine; once shot the letters 'V R' into his living room wall; was a member of a club where no member was supposed to speak to another; only survived as long as he did because his brother was a major government official.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 3 points 4 months ago

Sherlock was not a club member, that was Mycroft (I vaguely remember him being one of the founders, too).

The rest is true though. With the addition of Sherlock having major bouts of depression where he would not leave him rooms for days.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

It's true that Doyle never mentioned it, but it's logical that Holmes would want a place he could duck into for a quick meal; or a nap; or to put on a new disguise. Watson does say that Holmes had bolt holes around London, so it would have been foolish for him not to have a membership.

I remember reading about his membership in a non canon work.

If you're a fan look up 'The 7% Solution.' It's available as a novel and a movie; Holmes meets the only doctor capable of curing his cocaine addiction, Sigmund Freud.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

Columbo is all four corners at once. He always looks like he's doing rough, but he never quite looks like he's falling apart. He's just happy where he is. And he does use vibes in addition to algorithmic logic. He usually knows who the murderer is after his first time meeting them. He just has to prove it using the proper rigour

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 months ago

I'll never forget my first playthrough of Disco.

Spent an hour attempting to build a character I thought would make a good detective.

Wake up... oh god this is really bad hrm...

Well ok... lets get my tie.

Heart Attack. Dead. Game Over.

Possibly the greatest single player rpg ever.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 7 points 4 months ago

Chair too uncomfy :(

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, this was my exact experience as well. Then I restarted and leaned into being a drug-fueled maniac superstar detective who may have dabbled lightly in communism and completely crushed solving the case.

Fuckin nailed Columbo though lmao mans always seemed like he was one flight of stairs away from the end of existence... but he perseveres.

[-] hector@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

I think Sherlock Holmes is a drug addict in the books.

So yeah. You’re right: he just looks like someone not falling apart

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

My man was just self-medicating his migraines and his ADHD.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Columbo is just like me frfr

[-] LEONHART@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ah, Coop. Operating entirely on vibes and damn fine coffee.

Keep throwing Tibetan rocks at glass bottles, you absolute maniac.

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 5 points 4 months ago

I think Holmes belongs on the bottom right. He is a mess of a human being, and he makes intuitive leaps that are borderline magical.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 4 months ago

All the way to the right, but almost perfectly center on the vertical scale.
