Nobody asked for this one, I know, but — listen, it’s a great album, it’s a great game, bah!, bah!, deal with me, it’s my birthday (I’m 38). Here are 22 new Disco Elysium achievements named for lines from Belle and Sebastian’s Tigermilk!

  1. I Was Happy For a Day In 1975: Yearn for disco. Yearn again.
  2. For Careers, You Said You Want To Be Remembered For Your Art: Impress Cindy the Skull with a really tight and vicious artist’s statement for your upcoming graffito.
  3. You Can’t Afford a Blazer, Girl, You’re Always Wearing Clogs: Compose an outfit out of five items you found in the trash.
  4. The Girl’s Got a Lot To Be Mad About: Provoke Klaasje to a change of affect.
  5. There Must Be A Reason For All The Looks We Gave: Delve deep into your mind to understand the origins of The Expression.
  6. And The City Tall With Steeples: Climb the exterior of the church.
  7. Hand In Hand With The Electronic Renaissance Is The Way To Go, Yeah: While a DJ, succumb to your worst urges.
  8. If You Dance For Much Very Longer, You’ll Be Known As The Boy Who’s Always Dancing; If You Work For Much Very Longer, You’ll Be Known As The Boy Who’s Always Working: Repeat your youthful mistakes around working and dancing.
  9. You Go Disco And I’ll Go My Way: Convince Kim that disco is cool, then abandon it for a bolder, more contemporary form.
  10. Drop A Pill And Then Say Hello: Drop a pill and then say hello.
  11. A Family’s Like A Loaded Gun; You Point It In The Wrong Direction, Someone’s Going To Get Killed: Point a loaded gun in the wrong direction and kill someone.
  12. For Every Step There Is A Local Boy Who Wants To Be A Hero: Complete the flashback sequences without running.
  13. Why Did She Do It? Was She Scared? Was She Pushed?: [spoilers]
  14. I’m Tired of Fixing Things For Michael and the Rest Of Them: Complete the game without doing any side quests. That’s right, fuck Evrart and all his little asks! You’re your own man, and you don’t need anyone to tell you what to do!
  15. I Hung My Boots Up And Then Retired From The Disco Floor: Complete the game without putting your shoes on.
  16. In The Mirror Of My Steamy Bathroom, Where The Lino Tells A Sorry Story In A Monologue: Locate all 3 Furies.
  17. It’s Got To Be Fate That’s Doing It: Make 3 checks at 3% probability.
  18. A Spooky Witch In A Sexy Dress Has Been Bugging Me With The Story Of The Way It Should Be: The storyline about your ex-wife is, to be honest, the only really hackneyed thing about the game; it feels like a reductive and slightly misogynistic root for problems as serious as yours (alcoholism, workaholism, PTSD, and the death of disco). Still, this seemed pretty relevant, because you do spend a lot of time haunted by her? I don’t know, something about finding and chewing the brand of apricot gum she liked. Like I said, you’re your own man — how about coming up with your own thing to achieve, yeah?
  19. What You Want Is A Cigarette: Smoke exactly once. Beat Kim at his own game!
  20. The Kids Are Playing, Having Fun, Well, I Pass Them By, I’m Not A Kid, No: Join Cuno in throwing stones at the corpse.
  21. A Sorry Tale Of Action: Completely fuck up the Tribunal.

You Said You Were In Hell: Say you are in Hell.
