If you're struggling early in hades just make sure you unlock and max as much as you can on the mirror and go after dark and keys as much as you can. When you get the booze bottle give one to everyone you can talk to and they'll usually give you something in exchange you can use.

But most important is to not worry about finishing just work on timing dodge and attacks and collecting resources while you try different gods and get used to their buffs.

I work in DC near the Mall and once made the mistake of going out for lunch and forgetting about the March for Life. Lotta kids bussed in and a swarm of absolute freaks.

Good news is, the Mall is generally a good containment space for the weirdos because it's huge and well away from places people actually live. People who live here can usually avoid visiting nutjobs since they're usually terrified of minorities and won't leave downtown anyway.

January 6th was a different level though, that got actually scary around here. The anti-vaxx rally sounded pretty bad too, a lot of the nutjobs trying to enter businesses unmasked and refusing to leave. A local Chinese restaurant that caters to the Jewish community were called a bunch of Nazis and whatnot. Wish visitors would just leave normal people alone.

It unfolds quickly. I can’t get through Elysium but the game is paced well enough that it doesn’t feel hopeless but challenging enough that you want to come back.

It’s the best game I’ve played in awhile.

Elysium as a whole is a serious roadblock. Those warriors have so much health that unless you really start creating builds instead of just selecting boons you’re not able to kill them before they kill you.

But also, the game really does a good job of erasing the frustration of a good run suddenly going belly up in Styx quickly by seeing what changed at home.

Awfully strong response to me saying that their business operations over the years, up until their IPO, were pretty consistent with a company whose ownership and investors had an exit strategy as their endgame.

Now it's just funny to see them foundering because they're sitting on entirely too much inventory because they badly misforecast demand.

The explosive carts are the enemy that gives me the most hell. Them or the shield guys when they have... shields, but the yellow lifebar kind

e: as for meg, you just have to pay attention to her patterns to know how to avoid. recognize whether she's dashing, spin attacking, casting or summoning the energy circles. try to dash behind her and make all of your hits backstabs. keep in mind she's a boss so you can't stagger her with your attacks so don't stand in there and try to just brawl until you get really good at dash attacking

If you use the shield, you can block all her attacks by holding the attack button (except the floor stuff). If you're using the bow, dash before charging up your shot and it'll charge up much faster

Be aware of where all the spike traps are too

It’s a bike that costs like twice as much as most other exercise bikes and then you pay a monthly fee. It’s stupidly overpriced.

Motorcycle racing? That's sick what kinda bike you ride

Learned pretty much everything I know on some Suzuki SV650s which my dad is a huge nerd for, then we went to a Honda CBR600RR for a couple of years before I decided the middleweight class was way too insane and full of dudes that did not give a gently caress about anything, but I kinda wanna go back to that because I currently do not give a gently caress about anything. Went back to SV650s because my dad always has enough poo poo for those strewn all over the place to build two from scratch for some reason, and his friend gave him a steal on an old 2-stroke RS125 Honda factory GP race bike which is cool as gently caress. He also did some old guy motorcycle detective poo poo and somehow found his exact old ‘94 Harley 883 that he used to race, run down and beat to poo poo and bought it back from the guy. He’s working on that slowly and I really want to race that.

It used to be a huge part of my life and I got pretty loving good at it, I have lots of trophies and cool pictures and footage buried somewhere. It’s pretty much the corner stone of my dad and I’s relationship, but *guestures vaguely at last three years or so of my life* it got pushed to the wayside, and I just want to take another crack at it before hanging it up for good. Cuz lol American healthcare and extremely dangerous hobbies.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
I think I considere Hades (the game) beaten after about 60 runs. From 1-30 my win rate was about 12%, usually dying at the final boss. Then something clicked and from runs 30-60 I ended up winning probably 95% of the time, even saving 1200 gold for the titan's blood from the final vendor almost every round. I don't really care about the god banter so I guess I am done. I got my moneys worth, but it is an odd game where it has 10x more dialog than unique gameplay. It seemed like has lower variation than most roguelites, very few different bosses or enemies, rooms get reused over and over and are not really random etc.

Also, for senior cut day in high school I got sunburnt that badly all over, I missed school for like 3 days and I essentially developed a sunburn phobia and now I cannot do anything with a chance at sunburn without slathering on sunscreen. My dad has to go to a dermatologist every 2 months to play wackamole :dadjoke: with melanoma so maybe sunscreen is good.

Make sure you gift nectar to each of the gods. They give you trinkets that let you make them appear in the next possible room. Level the trinkets up by having them equipped as you clear rooms and it'll increase the rarity of the boons they offer

If you put the Ares boon on the shield special it'll give you a pretty safe way to get through but you'll eventually need to learn how to avoid attacks. Make sure to buy the extra dash and extra health at the mirror and all of the death defiances

the other thing I'll say for the posters in here getting started on Hades: God Mode isn't a cheat. It helps reduce some damage taken, but it's also a good way to give yourself enough time to learn the things you need to learn without either only getting to that area once, or by getting to a place and dying right away. There's so much in the game past the first time you clear it, lowering that wall shouldn't be seen as cheating at all.

For those who haven't played it, it's very good and has crossplay, but has a bit of a learning curve & I don't know what the player base looks like anymore.

That said, if you wanna blow up TIE Fighters and X-wings, or eventually fly a B-wing, grab it!
