Disco Elysium is one of the best roleplaying games you could hope to experience, provided you're looking for something savagely dark, political, and introspective.
It's a game all about being a cop - a superstar cop, a bigoted cop, a cop of the apocalypse, a communist cop - whatever cop you decide to be based on the wealth of options that open up to you.
Bearing a brutal wit and a deep, contemplative story about depression, addiction, societal struggles, and everything in between, Disco Elysium is one of the most fascinating games you can play this year.

After 3 hours, my cop is still looking for a pack of cigarettes and hasn't achieved a single thing. It's terrific!
Ahh, you're role playing as the LAPD.
@@Xbob42 he didn't say a thing about racism though.
Same but 8 hours.
You guys can always go to the mailbox and pet it. Tell it has done good, you understand its pain and share a warm moment with it
@@Henrque123 ALWAYS KICK THE MAILBOX
This game made me reflect on myself when it started to call me a "sorry-cop", and started to mock me for apologizing for everything and feeling sorry for myself.
TheCivildecay same. Once it started bullying me for it, I quit apologizing, and even tho it meant I had to say more extreme and rude things, I still did it. Peer pressure ig
Same. Which is doubly funny when I'm Canadian.
rel
me too lol
I'm both a Sorry Cop too. The Thought you get for it is pretty good, actually.
My character died after trying to punch a child hooked up on speed and missing him, falling and thus triggering a fatal heart attack. That was less than 20 minutes after I started my first play of that game, and I had no regret.
Hold up, you can punch that brat?
@@MrDaniyil hell you can gun down Cunoette but it results in a game over
@@passdoutcouchpotatos Wh-
No fucking way
@@passdoutcouchpotatos How do you do it? I'm asking for a friend, of course.
@@slippy5849 take the gun from Kim to shoot down the body. Instead of shooting at the body, shoot Cunoesse. It will lead to a "Burnt-out Cop Shoots Child" headline gameover
"You can have Arguments with your own stats"
...okay im interested.
they will agrue with each Other even lol, its great
It's amazing everyone should play it. I got it while waiting for the outer world's and it's probably my favourite game of the year
They are essentially your own party aside from Kim(or one character if things go a certain way) and if you raise that stat too much, they start talking more and more, actually being able to distract you or make you look insane.
They also don't...always give good advice but it isn't always obvious, for example, at one point you meet a character that your stats like so damn much they act like there is no way this character is a suspect or has anything to hide, when said character has quite a bit of interesting stuff, though at least in that certain case, one of your stats will go ahead and warn you there may be a clear bias going on and tries to warn you, but this doesn't always happen, sometimes they really just trick you and don't warn you.
So yeah, don't always listen to your stats, and try to avoid always putting stat points unless you want your character to look like an insane weirdo, had unspent skill points at the end of the playthrough precisely because of this, unlike many RPG's, putting too much points CAN hurt you in the end, unless you don't mind your character being so weird others find you too annoying or insane to work/talk to.
Now THAT is cool. When your stats themselves can talk to you, you know you're in for an interesting time.
This is definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I cannot recommend it strongly enough if this review piques your interest.
From the Steam store page:
"Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being."
Welp, that's another game on the wishlist.
You will almost definitely be both. Mostly the second one.
Man, Kane and Lynch hit some hard times, but at least is was better than their last adventure.
This is the Kane & Lynch we deserve.
Oh my god that's... why didn't I see that before? That's brilliant! And totally true x3 heh
If Kane & Lynch were cops, I miss that series.
Kioni Sua I know right?
Jim Sterling You got that right.
Thanks for reminding me, looks like I’m playing Kane and Lynch 2 again :D
Kinda wish Jim didn’t give the game a 1 but oh well.
This truly is a "once in a blue moon" kind of game. There should exist a variety of games, I'm ok with this game not being for everyone, because that just means it can focus much more on its strengths and I appreciate that immensely.
No game even can be for everyone, but that just makes for more creative and/or fun experiences.
"You can become a communist"
Say no more, comrade.
I'd imagine the game ends rather quickly
@@theandy2000 True.
You have, after all, won at that point.
Right....clearly. Can’t argue with the stats.

@bobbiebob575 bob What? Americans don't have a monopoly on political ideologies.
I absolutely adore this game. Unless Death Stranding is the second coming of Christ, this is easily my GOTY :)

Congratulations to Disco Elysium, officially miracleofsound's 2019 GOTY.
Narrator: It was not the second coming of Christ.
Jim, you may be happy to know that ZA/UM, the developer, has announced that they have a lot of content planned for this IP. It's based on a pen and paper role-playing setting that they developed over more than a decade (12 years, I think).
The lead dev also has a novel in this universe that he plans to have translated to English. Given the relative lack of typos and grammatical errors, I'd love to see the same people translate that book.
Also you forgot to mention the meaning of studio's name.
@@TheJackal917 What is the meaning, if you don't mind me asking?
Here's hoping it's all free. Nothing screams irony louder than a communist paywalling their content like a true capitalist.
@@bigbobilly8991 The group's name is associated with the term "zaum", used in Russian symbolic poetry in the early 20th century, to denote "out of mind" experiments with sound symbolism and linguistic nature in an attempt to overcome rationality. The term was coined in 1913 by the Russian poet Alexei Kruchonakh. (from Estonian wikipedia article about ZA/UM).
@@Atrak8 Thanks dude. Appreciate the info.
That title is what happens when players are told to “really get in character”.
“That game of DnD certainly got out of hand didn’t it?”

I launch the game, created a caracter, woke up on the floor, tried to get my tie from the ceiling fan, had an heart attack, amazing game hahaha !
I did this twice lmao
Gamers: Keep politics out of my games ree
Disco Elysium:
Ubisoft: Our game isn't political.
ZA/UM: Hey! Wanna thoroughly analyse Communism?
The devs thanked Marx and Engels at The Game Awards. legends
Put so much politics in the game that the very notion of keeping it out of games dissolves from the gamer's brain
@Toxic Potato Most of the time people consider any politics they don't agree with as "forcing" them into a game including such politics as Gay people exist and Black people.
@Toxic Potato "social justice politics" is an absolutely idiotic thing. This is the excuse Gamers use to justify them being mad at the fact that theres a minority in a video game, saying shit like "its forced!". I mean, what even is that supposed to mean? Do they have to find some excuse, some reason to why the character isn't white or straight? What about forced "whiteness" then.
Diversity in video games is not politics.
Games have always ACTUALLY been political, but of course Gamers don't get games like bioshock, hotline miami, witcher all with heavy and actual political themes
Peered into the apocalypse, fought for the feminist agenda, brought a little girl in from the cold and hugged a widow. 10/10
I thought it said you "hugged a window" and then I was upset that I patted the mailbox and didn't hug the window

@@TheIncognitusMe I tried to roleplay as the biggest asshole in the world but I just started feeling bad for embarrassing Kim all the time.
Yes! A great straight man to your shenanigans. And a great character in his own right.
anaalinaama See I wanted to do a full physical run but I know I’ll end up being hated by Kim, so I have trouble justifying it.
@@TheIncognitusMe High Physique doesn't preclude being nice to or pleasing Kim. Your PHY skills *can* be used to hurt other people, but mostly they just make you more empathetic to other people's bodies. You'll notice that someone is a lot more buff than they should be (Physical Instrument), or that you just startled them into wanting to run away (Half-Light).
Shivers is its own kind of thing, though. I like to describe it as the "Sam Vimes" ability: you are in tune with the city itself and perceive it as a living thing.
final cut made it even better. i' m in love with the horrific nectie's voice
He's the bestest of friends, he has your back... or neck in any situation. Play the game with a 4+ Inland Empire stat and let the laughs ensue. Your welcome
@@GiantSavage117 i removed it, despite having the ultimate alcohol in hand. its engame felt ominous
A game I have fallen completely in Love with and can wholeheartedly recommend!
One Tip:
Play as honest & True to yourself as possible and see the magic unfold! ^^
yeah, maybe not yourself perse, but pick a persona and roll with it
@@moridin462 True!
@@moridin462 Yeah, I'd agree. I made the mistake of playing as *Myself* in the Sims. Within two days my Sim ended up a sobbing mess, curled up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor in a puddle of his own urine. That's about as recommended as eating a heaping bowl Frosted Peyote Flakes and staring at yourself in the mirror for about ten hours.
dont watch any more reviews or lets plays or whatever and don't save scum at all. Try and go with your original dice rolls. That's my 2 cents.
@@NatrajChaturvedi That's also pretty important I would agree too!
Jim Sterling risks the "Only anger" algorith by posting a positive review.
All y'all should realise the game really is *that good* for Jim to risk his channel in this way.
He better make another Fallout 76 video after this.
Didnt he do thst children of mortia vid a week or 2 ago?
Like life has meaning again for a few minutes. You know?
‘Sex’ in the title may balance that out lol
@@DIYisntDead Yeah he did, even tho Children of Morta is a completely boring game.
"One of the most boring game ever created and with graphics looking like it's 1998 gets a 10 with no lows? You gotta be kidding me... absolutely boring game with nothing that catches your eye."
-GameSpot comment section
amazing.
-Fool who missin' out!*
yeah its awful...but cmon, no cons? the game has no flaws? i dont believe
@@bes5164 Some things don't have cons. Say, a clawhammer. It does precisely what it was designed to do. Sure, one can complain that it cannot break solid concrete or that it doesn't let you unscrew things, but if you complain about that, most people are probably going to give you funny looks.
I know a lolcow that would say this exact thing, but he's a nobody so no real harm done
"...become a communist..."

We must defeat the capital, comrade. By buying videogames on a platform that is the definition of rentier economy :P
@@TheoEvian no ethical consumption under capitalism :p that's how I justify it lol.
I will get the game at TPB store for free, it's supporting communists.
@@personalgao what's TPB store?
@@davidr5445 The Pirate Bay Store. They use torrents :P
This is why I like Jim. I'd have never have heard of this game without him
Redmoon383 it’s been in the top selling on steam for like 2 weeks. Not exactly hiding.
@@ancientflames I'm not on pc most days, I play console more cause all my friends are there
im sure this game isn't overlooked, even ign gives it a 9
Jim always says nobody watches his recommendations. I always appreciate them, shame.
Nickochione Antony Well, if IGN would have given it a low score, that’d be worth mentioning, but IGN giving a high score isn’t exactly a rare thing. At all.
I have nothing to say, I'm just here for the ENGAGEMENT.

Hail to the Engaaagement lord and our saviour Jim Sterling .
I have nothing to say, I'm just here for the enragement, by looking at the comments section and finding something to get angry over.

Always good to have something wacky and a bit nuts in the sea of blandness AAA showers us with every year :D
There's always games like these but people decide to spend their time complaining about AAA games instead.
@@salemsaleh9577 For every one person complaining, there's a thousand buying AAA games. Get out a little, only watching only youtube videos is giving you tunnel vision.
@@belldrop7365 You're missing his point. Basically, if people who like these types of games spent more time looking for them instead of complaining about the AAA crap that gets plastered all over the store's front page, they'd have plenty to play. And he isn't wrong.
@@TheRPGentleman That's exactly what I meant.
@@belldrop7365 So you don't even want people to buy AAA games? God forbid people enjoy them
“Disco isn’t dead! Disco ... is LIFE!”

"it doesn't looks like it, but it is massive" yeah... i've heard that one before xD
size doesn't matter... what matters is square inch per minute
It grows on you.... I'll grab my coat.
I had to watch this twice because I kept getting distracted by the dialogue in the game and missed what Jim was saying. That's a really good sign.
So happy to see more people give this masterpiece a shot.
MsDivale it’s like 30 bucks. It’s literally half the price of a normal videogame. What are you on about

Basically... the true evolution of Planescape: Torment?
Amen
@@kutlumzrak2689 Torment: Tides of Numenéra deserved better.
@@Whitecroc Numenara wasn't bad but it tried way too hard to imitate Torment while not understanding the unique personality and reason it was written that way. Numenara ends up feeling more pretentious, grandiose and shallow than deep and reflexive.
This isn't even its' final form
I got that feeling at the beginning of Disco. It really starts off as if you’re the Nameless One, and in a way you are.
Now I feel safe to go and purchase this game.
its great. lots of replayability. i keep seeing new things
Been looking for something in depth since Divinity 2. Will be having a pop at this for sure between DnD sessions :p
No need to wait for Jim to give the OK. Steam has a refund function, you know.
@@pikapika3667 Yeah that is true but I prefer to just be informed before I buy something to be fair
This is me "engaging" so Jim isny buried by an obsolete algorithm.
I'm engaging your engagement. Your engagement was good. This video was 👍

Here’s me adding to this thread with a paraphrased joke I remember hearing from many years ago...
*Opens up dictionary to learn what getting engaged to your fiancé will entail*
Engage -> Verb: Enter into combat against the enemy.
*Flips through a few pages*
Mother-In-Law -> Noun: (see “Engage”)

As a tribute to the Algorithm:
Dont trust the Tie...
Gabbie the tie is good. Always trust the tie for the full disco elysium experience.
Indie studios once again prove they're the _real_ AAA developers. This game looks amazing, once I finish The Outer Worlds I'll have to pick this up.
"Well you can tell by the way I dungeon crawl, I'm a lootin' man, no time to talk...
... until I get to the next NPC, and start a conversation tree, that is."
I even sung it in my head
This game. It isn't a game, it's an experience, a true work of art. God I love it!
It looks boring but yet it has my attention . Yeah I'm going to give this a shot while waiting for Outer Worlds and Squadron 42 .
too bad the poor won't be able to experience it though....
@@RomanowRomanow1 they will just pirate it lol
I started playing it earlier today and I fell in love within the first 5 minutes of gameplay.
yea listening to my character's limbic system talking about how sweet sweet nothing is was certainly a unique way to start the game and I loved it from that very first moment too!
Man, opening dialogue is something. DS isn't out yet and after Disco Elysium I highly doubt it can impress me in this kinda way.
Haha yeah I could relate with the dialogue of waking up with a terrible hangover and NOT wanting to be awake.
This is the closest game to Planescape Torment experience. If you tried that game then you should try this.
Imagine... a game where there is so much dialog that spelling corrections are a serious component of bug fixes.
Finally. Been watching Casey gush over this, immediately got the game myself and been having a ball :)
After 13 or so hours this is turning out to be one of my favourite games of all time so far , and one of the best new games i have played the last few years along with botw ( yeah i love that game), p5, w3, bloodborne , 428 shibuaya (if that counts) or yakuza 0 . Yes opinions and all. Great game. It reminds a little bit of planescape torment.
this game genuinely has made me feel things on a deeper level than any other piece of art and I keep coming back to it, it’s just a joy to experience
The best way to describe Disco Elysium is the most elaborate personality test.
Only finished last week's podquisition this morning. Hearing that you were downloading it after what Laura had said about it I knew a video would come soon.
This may very well be my favourite game of all time. It's certainly one of the most memorable. I absolutely love it
The screen shot made me think it was Jim and Pruit from webDM and a new dnd video
One of the best games of this year is an understatement. This's easily the best game of this year with outer wilds and one of the best games of this gen
Disco Elysium is easily one of my favorite games ever, let alone this year. And I don't like/play CRPGs normally and was 100% ready to skip this one because of that, but a review on launch day got me interested.
@@Xbob42 same here, man. Exactly same. I feel it as a great mystery book you just can't buy in a book format. Best money I've spent in years.
I thought 2017 was a slam dunk of a year, but between Outer Wild's grand mystery and Disco Elysium's masterful pen and paper shenans, they both just might be my two new favorite games of all time. 2019 is OP.
I know you probably dont read comments from a 3 week old video but I just wanted to thank you for bringing this game to my attention. You sold it to me in the first couple of minutes so well that I didnt finish watching the video I turned it off and bought it straight away because I wanted to experience it with as little knowledge as possible and I'm glad I did. I just finished it this morning so came back to watch the end of the video. What am amazing game, I think it may even be my favourite game ever? Thanks Jim.
my character gained a raging feminist agenda.
Don't you mean inexplicable?
I like feminists I am one too
@@mystic_spiderto live in a feminist society is to have an awesome sex life. Look up the Mosuo
@@WanderingIdiot81 that's not true but fun that you are positiv. It has nothing to do with it.
@@Alienshade when you picture a feminist society are you picturing the same society we have now, just lead by women? Because a feminist version of a society looks and behaves vastly different
Ah yes, nothing quite like a game that makes a "suntanning-your-asshole" joke before that shit went live!!
I was skeptical at first but Disco Elysium is the best story-driven/most well-written actual RPG next to Outer Worlds!

That's my no new steam id lol
Just as a heads up: the Martinaise daytime theme is Red Rock Riviera by British Sea Power. Also Smallest Church in Saint-Saen is another reference to the band.
This is such a fresh take on the baldur's gate/neverwinter nights style point-and-click rpg. I love the art style, grittyness and incorporation of stats into seemingly every encounter - makes for an amazingly tailored experience. Can't wait to pick it up once it goes on sale!
i'd like to thank marx and engels for giving us this game
if they loved engels more authority would make everyone piledrive you on sight
The name of this game, is just so up jim’s alley from his reactions to most things, definitely a better name then breath of the wild
Or perhaps, "Breath Of The Wild Drunkard".
Come to think of it, "Breath of the Elysium" is kind of a cool name
I was looking for a proper term to define this game and honestly the closest would be "surreal". There really isn't anything out there like Disco Elysium and from the moment I booted it up I never stopped being fascinated by the things the game throws at you. It definitely is one of the best gaming experiences of this year, maybe the best.
I finished this game yesterday, and I played as my usual "first playthrough" archetype in any RPG game, which would be Neutral Good, with a tendence to Lawful. I ended up mix-maxing more often than not when coming to the stats, but the experience was golden. Then I decided to change it around, and I've started a Chaotic Evil run right away, in what I like to call the "Cop of Apocalypse" playthrough. In the first ten minutes, I conned a bar manager of all the money I owed him, I punched a 14 year-old in the face and tried to shoot a homophobic little girl in the chest, but I was too drunk to aim properly and ended up missing her instead - if you kill her, the game ends as you are stripped of your job. Right after that, I crushed the windpipe of a race suprematist and I resigned after the head of a Union bullied me, dying as a homeless man who would throw his own feces to passer-bies.
The game rewards the way you build your character. In my first playthrough, my Empathy stat was my main one, and it always tried to lend me a hand whenever a person was suffering. A girl on the other side of the phone is on the verge of breaking down in tears? Empathy tells you to stop pushing your line of questioning, and instead try to reason with her, relate to her. The same scene as the Apocalypse Cop? My Half-Light - explained as the stat that increases how physically threatening you are and how harsh you are on people - actually tells me to ask her out, grab a cup of coffee, she's totally into me, and as soon as she refuses, he gives me the option to let her know that I'm a God. The same voice, Half-Light, as soon as I encounter an annoying character, starts telling me to "kill him, nobody would know".
Now, the game is not perfect; it unfortunately lacks a tapestry ending which would have been extremely fitting and the ending - the "I solved the case" ending - feels a bit rushed and unsatisying. However, when a game has so much depth and rewards your different builds in such a drastic way... This game is great. It's incredible, and unique, and it deserves your time, as well as your money
Half Light sounds like it should be named Sociopathy.
Died on the first half hour crashing into an old lady in a wheelchair while flipping the bird to the bartender because mi tie (yes, my tie) told me to press the eject button and gtfo when the guy asked me to pay the tab. RPG of the year.

"Dali by the way of Bosch." @13:11
Holy hell, that's exactly it!
Jim, we don't deserve you.
So the way I built my character, after about 10hrs I'm a drunk, slightly-schizophrenic, communist, racist with a dash of fascism.... its glorious.
I died within the first 10-15mins, trying to retrieve my tie (which talks to me sometimes, btw)
Nice. Gems like this are hard to find these days. Thanks!
So I am brought back here in sadness as one of the most genuinely artistic piece of expression made using the gaming medium becomes PRODUCT.
The original creators have been forced out of their own company, which is now hiring a 'Monitisation Specialist'. All of which feels like the sort of thing that Disco Elysium would have mocked. The fanbase has of course reacted very poorly to seeing something this creative and unique becoming just another BRAND.
I know Jim already knows all that, but I still come here to think about what an absolute shame that is.
It also does show Jim's point on how the money people come in, take the beautiful things the creatives made, then squeeze them for every penny they can while leaving the creatives to rot. This industry badly needs to be reformed.
*A new Jimquisition episode perhaps?*
😏
I was watching an LP of this and man, this game is a trip. And how much the world can and does react to the choices you make and the sheer scope of choices you can make. I'm really impressed.
And yet the only choice you made was watching somebody else play it. 😥
No offense, just found it funny.
This game looks like something I would love! Thanks for making a video about it. I know positive videos don't always get the best receptions, but I love that I now know about this game!
Holy shit! The way you dealt with Measurehead hahaha, I did not know you could kick his ass that way xD
i like the comments going "it makes FUN OF YOU if you pursue communism!" hey buddy, this game makes fun of you For Existing At All, welcome to disco elysium
I remember when dad left for the "Find a pack of smokes" quest, oh so many years ago... Why Jim?! Why did you leave us?!
If Disco Elysium isn't on most of this year's (and this decade's) GOTY lists, I think I give up.
Neir automata wasnt a Goty and that's a Masterpiece that was a PS4 timed exclusive with PC. Disco Elysium wont get a Goty contender....
Holy shit, realistic flashlight action? I'm sold!
This is the game of the decade for me. It was captivating and reminded me why i fell in love with rpgs in the first place. I thank the universe(developers) that this exists. No, really. I loved this game, and i cant contain it anymore! :D
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
It's all EXCELLENTLY voice acted now :D
So deff worth replaying
Was the voice acting recorded and added post-release? I was confused when Jim referred to there not being much voice acting.
@@plantagominor722 Yes, it came as an update an year or so later. 'Disco Elysium - The Final cut' it's called, fully voiced and had a few extra quests. Free update for existing owners of Disco Elysium.
So it is a rpg, chose your own advanture with so many branches of dialog, while keeping 1 main storyline in the back?
More or less.
There is the base topic of trying to solve a case, but you can get VERY sidetracked if you want to.
Yes. The main case is in my opinion just there so that you have an end for your journey of self discovery. Some people actually don't like the resolution of the case and insist that it therefore fails as a detective game. Its not really about the "who done it" though and more about how this affected the individuals and society in general.
5:20 holy shit we both have the exact same build, thats awesome

@@jammer5475 stands for "involuntary celibate". Basically a group of manchildren who believe that it's a woman's fault when she won't sleep with them, along with a number of other similarly toxic beliefs
@@jammer5475 I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you don't know anything about "modern feminism," and that what you do know is probably harmful to both your own interests and those of women.
Read a book, fucko.
@@miserychickadee I can't answer for SweetGames, but for myself my issue with modern feminism is that they look for issues where there isn't any (an example of this is Valkyrie Chronicles 4).
@@jammer5475 It's a long story, but imo it's a group of chronically single men that blame women for their lack of sex. Instead of just.. being single. It comes with its own ideology and belief systems. Incels tend to be alt-right as well. It's incredibly toxic. There's a crap ton more to it but I hope this helps.
For the algorithm- I don't play alot of RPGs, but it sounds really cool how all the stats play a role intertwined thorough out the game.
It's my GOTY. It might be one of my favorite games of the decade, and perhaps of all time. My experience with The Outer Worlds has been utterly ruined by Disco Elysium.
Abberant? Shit Jim, you're flexing with that one.
Very sexy game
I still have no idea why I didn't watch this video when it came out, But when Jim did that video on positive content, I realisd I had not and filed it away to remember to watch at some point.
So, yeah, you sold me on this enough Jim to put it on my Wishlist. (Apparently, it must have come up in my queue at some point and I didn't look to hard at it, since it was apparently tagged as "ignore.") Seeing the actual gameplay reminded me a lot of Planescape: Torment (one of my top three games of all times), so worth, one feels, a look.
i never seen such quality writing since torment
Kane and Lynch reloaded. Love the intro btw =))
It's Awesometacular!🍺
It's harder core!
I literally died in the first room trying to get my tie off the ceiling fan xD
I died from turning on the lights... Hizzzz
I absolutely loved my time with Disco Elysium, its probably my favorite game I played this year. The way it draws you into this absolutely hopeless world, the painful scenarios it puts you into, where it can feel like there is no correct way to go about something, or that there is something more that you are missing but you have no clue what, and the amazing dialogue and characters which all seem unique and fully thought through in their own respects, truly make Disco Elysium a great game. That being said, there are a few story related issues which I came across (that I won't go further into, obvs) throughout my play through, and in a game which is all about the story, these issues held back what could have been one of the greatest games of all time. Instead, Disco Elysium is merely one of the best games this year.
Best intro ever.
