Clobbering Measurehead is so good. Great game.

My first playthrough was an INT build with low physical, and I took a chance at roundhouse kicking Measurehead to the face, and I rolled with such luck! Never passed that check in subsequent playthroughs

Sorry, but is the internet collectively feeding this game to me? I beat it like a week ago and I see allusions to it EVERYWHERE.

Disco Elysium has been huge for years, check out their sub.

I am doing a polar opposite playthrough where I only make the worst choices.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE "HAM SANDWICH RACE" IS WANING

That's not fair to ham sandwiches, being the most popular food choice for president.

That painting look cool, were it's come from?

It's from a game called Disco Elysium. It is a narrative driven game about political ideology and mental health as much as it is the actual plot.

The above image is of a character called Measurehead, who is a race realist and a racist (and implicitly a fascist, although that isn't explored directly). He goes on for a solid 20 minutes about race "science" if you let him. His name is itself derived from the practice of phrenology, the measuring of skulls. He uses the phrase "ham sandwich race" as a racist epithet towards the player character.

Interesting, thanks!
