Stay safe, y'all. Seeing how many cases are spiking across the U.S...it's pretty frightening.

LeeMajors posted:I feel like Lithgow screaming about something on the wing. that version is the one I identify with Mask usage here is still high, and vaccination rate is like 78%, which is about as high as it’ll get until they get more kids approved. There’s been feet dragging over that. I’m not sure how they’re going to roll out boosts, but mine would be in February or March. Definitely getting it ASAP of course.

LeeMajors posted:I KILLED MEG GET REKT BITCH congrats, just keep digging at it. you will get better and that fight will get so much easier. C-Euro posted: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) yeah, there's Pacts I absolutely have not touched at all. that is definitely one of them.

shirts and skins posted:EM is my favorite pact, I think it makes every boss fight more fun (although I have yet to beat EM4). The only one that gets pretty hard is Tisiphone due to lack of space, I lost a death defiance to her last night and was aghast. EM4 is rough, I don't think I've beaten that yet either. might have to give it a shot again soon. EM3 is loving hilarious.

LeeMajors posted:I can’t get past the bone hydra. I also bleed health overdashing into lava Asphodel. The tight quarters on the hell barge really do a number too. The others have chimed in with good advice but the one thing I wanted to add is about mentality and about approaching runs early on, I leaned on having the gifts from Skelly (a free death defiance) and Cerberus (additional life from the jump). But what I realized is the gifts from the other gods you get boons from basically start you down the path towards speccing for them. So if you want to do an Athena-build run, start with her gift, you're guaranteed for her boon in that first room, and while it's not a guarantee you'll get more, it's pretty common to continue seeing that god pop up in other rooms as well. it may seem like a real steep exchange, but it helped me get more into the boon-based builds and fleshing out characters that can hand out a ton of damage. maybe it's also super-obvious to others but was lost on me for a bit! the other recommendation is to swap weapons for different runs to whichever is giving the additional darkness boost, every little bit helps. last advice: Rail gun. Lightning boons.

BlindSite posted:You can change your boon after you kill a boss too, so even if you need a death defiance to get past the minotaur and theseus or dad you can always spec for the god you want and then switch back to skelly's boon after you clear the hydra. Only if you buy the thing from the construction desk next to Hades' desk, I can't remember what it's called but it puts your keepsake box inside every chamber between main areas. But you can also only use each of the keepsakes once per run. but yeah, definitely a viable strategy too - I used to switch to Achilles' for the third and fourth areas.

Bird in a Blender posted:I’ve been thinking about breaking out my Beatles rock band too. It’s been a long time. Maybe my kid can bang on the drums. Go check resale prices on eBay before committing to that  they are not making anything new instrument-wise, and adapters even are rare, but Beatles never got ported forward.

Japan's getting Omicron pretty good it seems - Tokyo jumped up from reporting 30 cases a day to over 1,000 within about a 10-day period. and while today's a holiday I'm fully expecting to get an email tomorrow or Wednesday from work saying we're not coming into the office for the next month or so once again. maybe it's as close to feeling dread as I'll get at the moment, but god drat, I'm really feeling frustrated and sad for you guys back in the States right now. so much has been stacked against people in the name of "rugged individualism" for a while, but this seems like it could be an actual breaking point.

LeeMajors posted:Our healthcare ‘system,’ such as it is, is being pushed to the breaking point and could very well fail in the next couple of weeks and it isn’t a particularly huge story. I'm wondering when all of this turns into metaphorical pitchforks and torches, and not just small business tyrants rioting to "stop the steal" but a wider swath of people just loving walking out and saying no.

Kalli posted:One thing younger people will not realize is that every old pc action game was awful because PC controllers were complete and abject trash until the xbox 360 came out. Just hundreds upon hundreds of godawful pieces of poo poo that were all terrible. This but a slight change - it's not that the controllers were trash (though they largely were), it's that controller support was incredibly hit and miss. having the Xbox 360 pad become a default PC game pad not only meant most games supported it, but supported game pads period, which then begat developers allowing for more native support for basically all of the console controllers (especially now that many also support Bluetooth). Barudak posted:Flight Simulator is on PC, Console, and might even be able to be streamed to your mobile phone and kicks loving rear end for flying around our planet and seeing it. it's also available as part of Game Pass on PC and Xbox, and can confirm it actually runs and looks good on Series S.

LeeMajors posted:I think the booster plays a big part. Everyone I know who is boosted had relatively mild symptoms. My work partner though was full vax but no boost but also in her late 20s and very healthy and she’s sick as poo poo. Dizzy, super weak, severe myalgia, bad sinus symptoms. That's part of the reason I decided last week we weren't going to go out much for the time being - case numbers jumping huge, my wife and I are both 4/5 months after the second shot, and while the government has pushed forward timelines for boosters, we don't know when we'll get that from our local municipality. And the last thing either of us needs is to get sick, especially since she's 8 months pregnant  As soon as I'm eligible I'll go get boosted, once she's post-delivery and okay we'll see how she can get it as well. we've also heard from doctors here we might want to get boosters for MMR shots as well to deal with the newborn? Not sure what that's about yet but we'll have to look into it as well. please stay safe y'all and minimize what trips you have to make. I know it's hard to push back on work stuff, but looking after yourself really is the most important thing.

Think I mentioned before but we had similar problems with WFH and know plenty of people who had similar here - few people have the space for dedicated offices, never mind two if both in a couple are working from home. Meant I was working from a kitchen table for a long time, which grated more than I expected. Even in the place we bought just under a year ago, eventually there’s going to be some space issues, but that’s future problems. Bird in a Blender posted:Work informed me I'm going in as the senior PM for a huge job in Cleveland. We're interviewing for the project next month. Time to go make sure my suit still fits! Ooh, good luck. I have no idea when my dress stuff will be brought out for a business trip next, and that’s kind of a blessing.

Joey Freshwater posted:Went down a weird rabbit hole and came across what has been my favorite conspiracy theory of all time. I always forget about it for a couple years but it always comes back up. Bomani Jones has had a couple of very good bits about Stevie perhaps being blind or not. A couple of the highlights included buying enormous HDTVs at Best Buy, and how good his backup singers often look. it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, and not taken seriously, but I would joke around and say it's the only conspiracy theory I believe just to make people really confused.

swickles posted:Its also funny because most people assuming blind means having a complete and total lack of vision while the definition and degrees of blindness can vary greatly while still being considered "blind". Some people can only see vague shapes, some can only see a few feet in front of them, and others may have incredibly narrow fields of vision. So, someone can see, watch TV, and even react to visual stimuli but still be considered blind. Oh for sure - I have a colleague from grad school who is legally blind but still has vision. Just somehow hadn’t connected that possibility to Stevie at all. [Edit] the best podcast episode I listened to last year. So good. https://youtu.be/iUcihzoAVe8

Intruder posted: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 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.

Aaaaaaarrrrrggggg posted:At my company if you give yourself anything more than a 3/5 they'll come back and say "Really? Like, really?" and make you "reevaluate". Managers also get to do a score and if they go above 3/5 upper management just comes down and says "Yeah, nah - make them a 3." Yeah same, ours has four different categories but the Meets Expectations is where basically everyone gets dropped into. What’s the point of other options if you’re only using one? What is this, the IGN scoring rubric of old?

T-Square posted:With the next gen Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport around the corner I’m finding it really hard to resist the urge to go hunt down a PS5 or XSX and plonk it down on a credit card with a new wheel set up. I'm not sure about PS5 availability but Gran Turismo 7 is going to also be on the PS4 (which is how I'm going to play it), which may not be the best graphics-wise but GT Sport - which GT7 is heavily based on - still looks very, very good on a 1080p TV and a base PS4. I'm also not sure about Xbox Series X availability but the Xbox Series S is still a damned fine way to get access to the new games, and if you ever upgrade, it's a great second room streaming console/won't lose too much value to sell it on. Only issues are that it's 1440p instead of 4K, doesn't have a Blu-Ray drive (more for games than media) and the internal HDD is ~370 gb, which means shuffling game downloads. I have one, it runs Forza Horizon 5 incredibly well, and I managed to snag Forza 7 before it went off sale.
