I really can't tell if this is Kim trying to keep Harry from getting drugs or picked up on Harry trying to get evidence on her and was playing along poorly
I think it’s mostly the first, since some others have said it only happens if Harry took drugs at some point in the playthrough, though the latter option is hilarious XD
B-Hydroxy-Phenothiazine is not a chemical that exists in real life. Phenothiazine cannot contain a b-hydroxy group, that's structurally impossible. It seems Disco Elysium only used real drugs when they're legal in most places. Nicotine, alcohol, and speed are all just their real world counterparts (speed isn't legal, but they never refer to it by it's chemical name). Pyrholidon is obviously supposed to be a stand in for some sort of psychedelic drug like Psilocybin.
Harry saying something stupid and Kim having to play along to pose it as a part of investigation and a method of questioning is my favourite kind of joke in Disco Elysium.
Yeah totally, mostly because if im not wrong this only happens if you consume things like speed, so actually kim passed a drama check, it was so good that it even convinced us.
Yo, Kim isn't trying to pass a Drama check to just entrap Acele, he is concerned for Harry and his sudden seriousness into probing what Harry's intentions are reflect that and is making a mock character of a narc to signal to Acele to NOT comply. From Kim's Disco Elysium Wiki *If Harry has previously used speed or pyrholidon, asking Acele if she "wants to party"[154] will lead to Kim attempting to solicit drugs by pretending to be high.* Besides, there’s many other real flaws within the lieutenant anyways, just not this one. I think people misread this scene.
This isn't him trying to act like a drug addicted teen looking for drugs. This is him acting like his very annoying, drug addicted partner whose first statement to half the people they meet is something drug related.
Even though this is very much a failed electrochemistry check from Kim, I've gotta respect the way he immediately follows your lead and commits to it. He doesn't do it half halfheartedly out of embarrassment or reluctance, he's like: "Alright sure harry might be right, I didn't make that connection about the hat thing, lets see where this goes"
electrochemistry [Medium Failed] - you try to look cool, but your just creeping the girl and your partner as you shake your booty when saying the word “boogie street shakes”
so ... the "without even noticing the young womans hand rises to greet your nose" .. we gonna just ignore that ? this game is broken. The voice over says you got punched in the face ... the game says reaction speed success (so you wouldn't get punched) but doesn't mention any of that. Imagine a street kid punching two cops ... what the fuck kind of story line is this? She would get the shit beaten out of her right there and then. Complete immersion break. This is a game breaking issue and yet this game gets praised..
Sounds like a single voice line got mislabelled and attached to the wrong line of dialogue. Very mildly immersion breaking, but anyone with a lick of sense can see "Oh, that's not what happened, she didn't punch you, the written dialogue is correct." 'Game breaking issue', c'mon...
I mean, it's a game with a fucking million words, and tbh it's the first time I saw something like it to occur (didn't happened to me during my playthrough neither)
You always gotta put a little something before Cop in order to make it seem less bad. Art Cop. Commie Cop. Fail Cop. Goofball Cop. Superstar Cop. Or else if it's just Cop. No one likes it. No one likes a "just-a-cop." They gotta be special. Which is why detectives are far more respected. They're "Basically a cop but less street patrol and handcuffs and more magnifying glasses and notebooks." which everyone agrees is far more approachable and respectable, maybe even take-to-the-local-diner-for-some-coffee-able. Which is why the most rewarding parts of Disco Elysium by design are when you stop being a cop and act like a person. Hard to do after having it ingrained into most of the aspects of your very existence, but you manage to do both with varying degrees of relative success and failure. But they're not just cops. They're the Revachol Citizens Militia. They're supposed to be better than just cops. Or worse, as moralist pawns. But anyway, the only cop you can't be in Disco is a good one, but maybe, just maybe, you can be a good person.
yeah i dont think he expected her to fall for it at all. likely did it to keep harry from getting drugs and also make him look less crazy for asking a random kid for drugs.
He tried 😁
I was never more terrified in my life... Also, when I've heard Kim asking "Should I try amphetamine?" I thought "Oh, no... I've corrupted him" 😨
God love him he’s trying his best

The shift from "How do you do, fellow kids?" to "Oh, so you're doing bad, actually :|"
The shaven portrait with the expression is absolutely horrific
1:10 - Kim, your Homo-sexual Underground is showing.

Kim used to smoke The Hemp too!

I desperately want to believe that Harry knows it isn't working, but is too amused by this and just wants to see Kim do his thing.
The funny part is if you complete the "homosexual underground" thought, you learn that Kim actually does want the D. :)
i think kim was a bit worried that harry maybe meant something worse than drugs when he asked acele if she "wanted to party" lol
Yeah totally, mostly because if im not wrong this only happens if you consume things like speed, so actually kim passed a drama check, it was so good that it even convinced us.
whats up with the reaction speed line at 1:37? is it bugged and playing a different audio clip?
There's at least two others like that. One when Cindy points out Joyce and the other somewhere in the (young) Communard's apartment, I think.
Kim falling flat on his face like this makes me want to kiss him on the mouth 😂

Yeah, it's clear that he's trying his best to look like a cop I love Kim

videos that make me close my laptop

Kim totally knows he's coming off as a narc, but that's his whole goal: don't let harry get his hands on more drugs
let him cook
He’s cooking frfr 🔥🔥imma hop on Uber eats 🔥🔥
And he hates delinquents too
Wait, how did you get 2 Real just for talking? Lol
1:16 Kim calling her 'girl' is so funny
I think Kim took morale damage at the end.
Kim is a gift to mankind
This man is everything to me

Fed posts worst bait ever, asked to leave the RCM
unrelated but I haven't seen Harry shaven **with** the Expression. it's horrible.
What jacket is that he is wearing
Orange bomber jacket looks like reversed, modified MA-1
You can literally see his chart just rapidly descend! 🤣
Kim is gonna hit the D hard in the homosexual underground
this is the funniest shit he does by far, truly unbelievable
Kim rolled the worst undercover ever Asked to leave the RCM
15 years in juvie. *15 years.* I love him.
Reaction speed: interesting Thank you for your input Reaction Speed, you are greatly appreciated

I am the law

ohh brother hush
breathe in…….. Breathe out Calm down, my friend
The secondhand embarrassment this gives me is powerful
Kim: *Passes Drama check* Hears about the new drug *Immediately Volition takes over again*
This was great. Sucks they canceled the sequel.
So far they haven't canceled it, although most of the creative staff behind the original game have been fired because capitalism.
@@Fierce0Deity0Link Like I said, it sucks they canceled the sequel.
@@VThetouch like I said it's not cancelled
@@VThetouch one of the creators is trying to buy the rights back
@@Fierce0Deity0Link objectively speaking it was cancelled, regardless of what za/um might say
It’s endearing only because he fails so hard at it. If he successfully entrapped acele we would see how insidious it is

You have a shaven and smiling Harry and I hate it
tsk, hater
Alternate Title: Kim fails multiple Drama checks
Kim is such a square, he might as well be a cube.
The way he drops into an accent
it didnt show me the third option to let kim in on it.. do i need a higher trust level or rhetoric check for that?
According to the fayde reader, it looks like you need to have used speed or pyrholidon prior to speaking with Acele for the first time.
Damn Kim is such a dad. He's unaware of his coolness, so he tries to be cool and ruins it.
I like to be goofie with Kim. Get him to loosen up a bit. If the game let's me juggle on a unicycle, I would do it to make Kim laugh
Absolutely, Kim is pure.
Hell, I'd treat him with a nice dinner
Kim went from 😎🤘 to 😬
The fact this freaking worked
