Holmes does not, in fact, have his shit together

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 13 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

and a single green snakeskin shoe

You're forgetting the magnesium. Detectives are mag based lifeforms

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!

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

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

just remember to save often, it autosaves rarely and it will likely force you to load a save many times, especially early on

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

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.

He's FBI agent Dale Cooper from real life.

Lower left is Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

Lower left is detective Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.

[–] Midnitte 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.

Correct answers only.

  • Top left: Tony Starks Dad from the iron man movies
  • Top Right: Hawkeye from M.A.S.H.
  • Bottom left: Ben Shapiros manlier cousin
  • Bottom right: rat man from portal 2

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

[–] dwemthy@lemdro.id 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)

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.

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.

Chair too uncomfy :(

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

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 4 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.

[–] LEONHART@slrpnk.net 3 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.

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

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