Let's talk about the new Planescape: Torment.

Disco will never die.

Lieutenant Katsuragi did nothing wrong.

Listen to Volition.

disco elysium is unironically one of the best games in the decade, and i might even go far as to say it's one of the best games ever made, and you should definitely play it.
I'm more easily reached at classpectanon#4228 on Discord. I will respond to reports faster there because PHPBB's notification system is borked and doesn't email me when you report things.

In no particular order:

Thought Cabinet texts.
Skills arguing with each other.
The atmosphere of Martinaise mirroring detective's mental state of a barely salvageable wreck.
Art style, especially
Spoiler
Show
character portraits cluing you in on what ideology do characters actually uphold.
Encyclopedia chiming in with not necessarily relevant trivia. Can personally relate.
Kim's reactions to your antics. Seriously, the man earned his halo.
The fact that failing a red (non-repeatable) check is sometimes not capital H-Horrible. Heck, it might as well be preferable to succeeding.
The entire last dream, especially if you try to nope out immediately.

Disco Elysium is unironically the best game I've played in the last...five years? At least in terms of impact and writing desu. The art style, the skills and their dialogue, some of the absolutely batty things the detective can do if you fail or succeed the right checks. God.
