you may change your tune once you start using pact of punishment to make the game harder, specifically the one that makes bosses harder, and fight the real hades

It's a fully-fleshed-out game mechanic, tied into the other game mechanics in multiple ways. There are, like, boons and items which just make your death defiances better. This game even comes with a "make this easier" button, and death defiance isn't it.



Halfway through writing this post I thought, "wait, I don't remember subscribing to a Hades thread" lol

Yeah, you literally can’t get all the boons if you don’t have any defiances.

In that case, you should save up enough darkness to buy all three levels of death defiance at once. Your first run after winning will be like Goku taking off his 1000 pound training weights.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

Are there any good nocrit servers besides the Uncletopia servers? I feel like so many of the people using those tend to be unpleasant, and they always scramble as soon as a team can't defend the first point.

Idk cause i cant play on them due to ping but i imagine creators.tf? Unless u cletopia is histed there

Creators is also no crit, less always having 3 engineers like uncletopia but more having janky custom maps.

It's honestly weird how hostile the people there are much of the time, playing on those servers often brings out the absolute worst parts of me as a player or person, and I don't like that

Creators went well. It's east coast so I get higher ping there, but the servers seem friendlier based on the couple hours I played. Only problem was it took a while to get a game of swiftwater that wasn't a stomp, but I think that's just the nature of 5cp in pubs.

maybe youre thinking of Badwater, which is easily cdonfused with Badlands, and not to be confused with cp_waterlands

Back in the halcyon days when ISP servers existed, one of the local ISPs ran one called "Bad Maps", that cycled between pl_badwater and cp_badlands.

Best map rotation ever.

miserable matches today. mostly getting stomped, and as such unable to focus on my engagements. thankfully i got matched into an upward match where they pushed us all the way to the final cap, but my last second switch to pyro basically guaranteed the win. snipers get really cocky and they think you can shoot the scorch shot from spawn to the little slit on the cubby they shoot from.

also last match of the night had like 8 bots. cool stuff

This was awesome thank you :D

How do you get the footage? Do you record yourself playing with OBS or a program similar?

I have thousands of .dem files that I would like to turn bits of into video but actually have no real idea the easiest way to do so - so if you have any tips then I am all ears!

I haven't used it myself but I know lots of people use the free software you get with nvidia to record themselves. You can have it constantly record yourself and then easily delete or save when something does or doesn't happen.
