I'm currently watching DSP play Disco Elysium because I thought watching one of my favorite games be played by one of my favorite lolcows would be kino.
So far,
-Phil immediately selected the Pignosis skill. There are 24 different skills. He didn't even read the others, just immediately gravitated towards the one that lets you lie and manipulate people.
-Normally, he reads out the different dialogue options, but when a character said "wait a minute, you owe me
money!" It triggered something in him, and he hit the "run away" option without saying anything! Like a reflex or something.
-Gets humiliated by a belligerent child who he wanted to punch in the face but pussied out.

I found it funny that he picked the deflection option like he always does in online confrontations.

The other kid calls him a faggot in her native language and adopts a discomforted lean-in-manual-ban posture.

Sadly, he skips over practically all of Measurehead's dialogue, which is some of the most interesting and funny writing in the entire game. I'm not sure if it's because of his performative discomfort with the themes of eugenics and race-combat, or because the holy Schedule dictates that he only has 10 minutes left to play before it's Hogan time.

Right when Measurehead mentions the ravages of al ghul (alcohol), DSP goes "oh my gahhhd" and ends the dialogue, I thought that was funny.
I don't know if I'll be watching the rest of the playthrough, since Cuno and Measurehead are the only characters that are basically just detractors come to life.
