Random: Build Communism with $165 Disco Elysium Poverty Chic Plastic Bag Bag | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Seemingly taking a page straight out of classic Ben Stiller comedy, Zoolander, ZA-UM, the developer behind and entity currently in possession of the immaculate Disco Elysium IP, is offering a truly inspired piece of merch: based on the in-game Frittte! plastic bag used to gather up garbage (in exchange for abysmally small amounts of money), the $165 Eternal Carrier plastic bag bag promises to plumb new and untapped depths of late-stage capitalism.

Funnily enough, it's been on sale for months, but so deeply underground was it that Rock Paper Shotgun only just became aware of its ridiculous existence (thanks, PC Gamer). Now that mainstream sites have caught on, any hipster cred such an item might have imparted is essentially gone; we thought it was worth pointing out that such a genuinely hardcore (hardcore!) piece of Disco apparel existed out there.

Recipe for anarchy

A tremendous loneliness comes over you

What do you think of the Eternal Carrier? Is this the missing piece of your Harrier Du Bois, Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau cosplay? Make a bold fashion statement in the comments section below.

Khayl Adam is Push Square's roving Australian correspondent, a reporter tasked with scouring the internet for the richest, most succulent PlayStation stories. With six years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

I saw recently that there was a GoFundMe for the writer of Disco Elysium who is actually broke apparently. Got to admit I'm kinda shocked mainstream media didn't cover this while instead choosing to report on nonsense tat.

This feels kinda cruel knowing that.

This is the exact opposite of the point of Disco Elysium

@breakneck sigh… why worry about discussing the human face of the state of gaming, when… <shrugs> who knows what is
