I love so much about the game, but I get this pit of anxiety whenever a skill check below 50% comes up. I'm trying to avoid save scumming for particularly low checks, but I had leaving any stones unturned.

I'm enjoying the game, plenty, but is there an appropriate mindset or approach to the game to get the most out of it?

Also an aside, i have a question and a potentially minor spoiler for an early quest.

spoiler

Getting the two signatures for the youth centre, Kitsuragi seemed disappointed once I got the second signature. Without spoiling too much, is this something that will have a negative outcome for the fishing village and/or Kitsuragi's opinion of Harry?

    Disco Elysium is best enjoyed with a single save that you only save when you are finished playing for the session imho.

    I play 1-2 hours at a time and if I die I just load up the same save the next time I play.

    The game has 100's of hours of dialog and side quests and about ~30 hours of the main quest if you play it straight through.

    No reason to save scum when you can easily play 50-100 hours a game multiple times and not even experience the whole game.
