So, in other news, I played Esoteric Ebb over the last week or so.
I thought it was good, but not as good as Disco Elysium, which I'm on record as thinking is the best (computer) RPG ever made. This is relevant because Esoteric Ebb is very open about being influenced by the latter, and by the most philosophical of the late-90s/early2000s D&D video games, Planescape: Torment - broadly, it's approximately D&D 5e mechanics and a homebrew setting with metacommentary on D&D tropes (some of which as well worn as the fact that Enchantment is the most overtly evil school of magic, some of which becomes a bit overly postmodern for me), with DE's "your attributes speak to you", "you can internalise thoughts for bonuses", "politics is everywhere" and general approach to time passing and interactions.
Interestingly, the lone dev does *not* do 5e combat straight - it's a sort of fusion of DE's one combat encounter ("make choices in the same mode as everything else, but with higher stakes") and D&D initiative order and to-hit mechanics. What I find a little irritating about reviews of EE is how they call this innovative, when it's not even innovative for *tabletop* RPGs - there's plenty of systems which don't do D&D's turn-based mechanical approach to combat (including games where combat can be a single die roll, just like anything else, if it's not particularly important to the flow of the game).
And, I guess, broadly, this might also be why I'm generally not as incredibly enthusiastic about EE as reviewers seem to be - it's well-written, there's parts that are even quite effecting (but nothing as good as the best of DE)... but the fantasy-kitchen sink setting and the general "D&D wackiness" of it really detracts from the focus that made DE a truly excellent game.

Ich hab Esoteric Ebb gerade durchgespielt. Tolles Spiel mit tollen Twists! Viel zu lesen und nachzudenken.

Definitiv wert mehrere Runs zu machen. Beim Ersten hab ich mich einfach treiben lassen und auch nicht alle Quests gelöst.

Snell ist einfach der beste Buddy!

Wer sowas wie Disco Elysium, oder auch Planescape Torment mag, sollte sich das definitiv anschauen! Hoffe da kommen noch mehr Spiele, wie im letzten Dialog angedeutet.

Esoteric Ebb ist ja mal ganz super töfte. Ich hab ja schon Disco Elysium sehr gemocht, aber hier gibt's zudem noch Würfel und ein gewisses Pen & Paper Rollenspiel Feeling. Ziemlich cool!

My husband played the demo of Esoteric Ebb, and we got into a discussion about whether it’s too similar to Disco Elysium or if we are witnessing the birth of the “discolike” genre convention.

He said there will be discourse about how “it’s not a discolike, it’s a discolite, because the protagonist isn’t addicted to anything”

(He does like it, for the record: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128090/Esoteric_Ebb_Demo/ )

What's the connection between gothic rock and electronic music pioneers Alien Sex Fiend, German deathcore/electronicore band Electric Callboy, and Egg Head from Studio Zaum's Disco Elysium?

Scooter.

German techno act Scooter fucking love referencing other acts, including Alien Sex Fiend, dropping references to Ignore The Machine into their track How Much Is The Fish? and to paean-to-the-fuhcked-up I Walk The Line into longer versions of Fuck The Millennium, among other Easter eggs.

Hypa Hypa by Electric Callboy is built with references to Hyper Hyper and Maria (I Like It Loud) by Scooter, and again, you'll find Scooter references elsewhere in their oeuvre.

Finally, Egg Head in Disco Elysium looks and speaks like Scooter's H.P. Baxxter, again referencing Maria and How Much Is The Fish?, among many other tracks, as well as having Yekokataa stand in for Siberia in Scooter's internal lore, itself a recurring KLF reference.

And in case you were wondering, this is more or less what it's like inside my brain all the time.
