I've tried for 2 days now to get a RAT and can't find one. Only minor symptoms like fatigue and sinus stuff but I'm still working out every day - I just need a nap after for a good hour. I just told my parents I'll see em in 10 days and I'm ordering groceries instead of going out.

I haven't played Hades since last spring but I've got a buddy who still messages me once or twice a month to let me know what heat level he's up to. We don't talk about anything else, just that.


e: He is up to heat 45 and can complete a run in 10 minutes, if anyone is interested

Yeah. It’s not so much how much harder the boss gets as it is how the space for the fight changes. You’ve got to be real careful with your dashes or otherwise you’re constantly on fire.

Hades is not nearly as deep of a game as I thought it would be based on the hype. It is fun, but there are so few different enemies, bosses, and biomes that it feels like it is getting repetitive super fast. With that said I am also pretty bad where I can get to the final boss 90% of the time, but I only win 10% of the time. At first I disliked the bow but now the second bow seems to be the easiest for me to win with.

A few of the modifiers are free rolls or free rolls with certain weapons, but never ever take the Trap modifier. The last area will wreck you, and if it doesn't then one of the end-run boss's attacks counts as a trap and will wreck (the jars that turn into spooky hands when they break)

So I thought the same thing with regard to the enemies but as you add on Pacts they do change and start having different attacks and fight strategies. The sprites don’t change a lot so that’s annoying yeah

It's absolutely not reasonable to have a manufacturing facility in the state. It costs way too much overhead you're never going to escape.

It's mostly coming to north florida. They're building amazon warehouses and poo poo out here because there's lots of poor people to staff them for poverty wages.

I was sure I knew what an Americano was in that it’s just espresso with water and it makes it so much funnier because they’re probably getting more excited about the name than they are the drink.

You have to set it to level 2 extreme measures. Level 3 changes theseus and level 4 changes Hades. Theseus zooming around the arena in a chariot, that's gonna be rough when I get there

I really, really don't like the bow. It's just so slow and I like to fight at a frenetic pace so the fists and spear are both great for me

Was one territory, south half was basically sorta civilization and the north half was weirdo proto-libertarians, criminals and snow farmers. Some con-man moves the capital way up north and so a bunch of wealthy families who owned all the poo poo by the train lines in the south said gently caress you and made their own state.

I agree. I think the idea that they’re difficult to make comes from people who want to make them perfect with the good looking foot and everything. If you’re fine with them not looking like the 4-dollar cookies you buy at a bakery or whatever they’re easy enough.

Cases are absolutely off the charts right now. In CO we’ve blown past the max cases per day during last winter‘s surge by like 70 percent. The good news is that if we take South Africa as a bellwether we’ll have another few weeks of bad cases and then it’ll tumble back down. They also didn’t report an appreciable increase in deaths, so fingers crossed that that bears out here.

One of my students from CO was leaving for Switzerland on the 3rd. RIght before that a fire rips through his neighborhood, necessitating evacuation and interrupting electricity and water service once he got back to try and get ready. Then he tried to get a covid test which you need to travel internationally and after waiting in line for four hours got one, but of course the results didn't come in time. He went to the airport super early hoping to get a test there but was in line for three hours and THOSE results didn't come quickly enough for him to catch his flight. Tons of flights being canceled and changed as well. What a freaking mess it's been.

My girlfriend got sick over the holidays as well. It's almost certainly not covid, because my little nephew had something that he passed to my dad and my sister (confirmed to not be covid) so I think it's that. But without knowing for sure she waited in a line of cars for three hours to get a test Sunday night, so that we could find out and not put anyone in the workplace at risk.

The results still haven't come despite it being supposed to take 48 hours, and me being with her all holidays I can't go into the office either. I think the office might think I'm pulling some bullshit but I'm not, testing infrastructure is just completely hosed right now. Frankly it's an absolute joke, this far into this poo poo we should not be having problems like this.

The "traps" Extreme Measure in Hades is, fittingly, itself a trap. Only one heat and it can absolutely wreck you with little warning later on. I think my records are like 9 minutes (on 0 heat) and 36-38 heat, though I don't have my Switch with me right now to double check

I'd say the south thoroughly lost that particular balancing act since the Dakotas were states 3 and 4 of nine-straight northern states lol. I'd never thought about the choice to absolutely rinse the southerners with northern states

Yeah. Reconstruction fell apart within ten years anyway. We learned a bit (pretty superficial, but a bit) about the civil war in grade school; I don't recall any time being spent on the post-war period, particularly the politics of the time. But whooooo boy did they suck.
