Main points are:

  • A lot of perspective on Robert Kurvitz as a kind of person based on how Martin knows and has seen him(and why he doesn't believe the accusation from corporate that Robert was toxic for the workplace).

  • Kaur Kender, who has been involved with Kurvitz and Elysium since A Sacred and Terrible Air, called out specifically as one of two bandits and the "money men".(The other bandit is the previously mentioned "First guy to be convicted of investment fraud in Estonia", Tõnis Haavel, who anglicized his name as Dennis Havel in business dealings to avoid being googled).

  • Robert Kurvitz has apparently been confident that he will one day write for Elysium again, Martin also expresses high hopes for the future, though he also makes a note that "you really got to have high hopes when high hopes are all you have".

The song at the bottom is from a very popular Swedish band called Kent, and was used as an announcement video for their voluntary dissolution of the band, which is maybe why Martin felt it relevant, translates as "Then as now for ever". Theres also a quote there from a Czech journalist and member of the anti-nazi resistance, but rendered in Swedish on the artwork, idk if Martin has some connection to Sweden, just confused me to see two Swedish things in here.

      I saw Disco Elysium at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly
