[sharp cosmos]

Still a non-descript monster

I was using spawn in the common sense, not as the mob name

[meager garden]

they have different coloring too

[daring sun]

bruhhhh noway thats the tail ☠️ https://i.gyazo.com/487163f894043feb1328912fa5f4c45d.png

[meager garden]

yeah he's big

[daring sun]

I thought it was a bird

[sharp cosmos]

There is a way that's the tail, yes

[glossy shadow]

Spawn, twins, tail, eye

[devout abyss]

hades on sale for 0 dollars

[meager garden]

huh?

[devout abyss]

it's 6.24 usd

[meager garden]

they don't got the names yet presumably

[meager garden]

=/= 0.00 usd

[glossy shadow]

In the journal they have the names "spawn of Typhon", "twins of-" etc iirc

[devout abyss]

if you are struggling to pull together six dollars i dont wanna talk to you

[sharp cosmos]

They don't really need a name, it's not a specific creature of the Mythos, but all parts and offsprings of typhon, particular horrific beings

[meager garden]

bro really said "stop being broke"

[sharp cosmos]

yikes take.

[devout abyss]

you are either a child or unemployed, 2 of the worst things you can be

[meager garden]

we can name them though

[sharp cosmos]

Was about to argue but no point.

[daring sun]

hm

can I get entropy from somewhere

[devout abyss]

no

[meager garden]

no it doesn't exist

[sharp cosmos]

Nope, those one aren't doable now

[daring sun]

oh ok

[meager garden]

is "no entropy" on the bingo sheet

[devout abyss]

what is the bingo sheet

[oak ivy]

what if you're unemployed but also a student?

[meager garden]

a 5x5 grid of stuff

[devout abyss]

get a grip

[oak ivy]

🥺 no

[meager garden]

gripped

[devout abyss]

if ur a med student you get to skate

[oak ivy]

i'm an art student 😭

[devout abyss]

who couldve guessed

[oak ivy]

i'm doomed to be unemployed

[devout abyss]

spawncamped

let's all have a future and not tell artists

[meager garden]

who has a future?

[devout abyss]

the glorious nation of india

[meager garden]

honestly facts

[devout abyss]

if i had to guess what would be the last country i would go india

china is up there tho

[oak ivy]

interesting

[sharp plank]

dude you seem kinda hostile ngl

[devout abyss]

i was raised by bears

[plain shale]

ITS CERBERUS?!?!

[granite mauve]

they seem just a little bit insecure

[oak ivy]

Ry is being ironic most of the time, I wouldn't take any of it personally

[sharp cosmos]

Regarding Chain Lightning boon's wording, that specifically use "your strikes", does it imply lightning strikes, or your weapons strikes ?

[oak ivy]

We're just being silly here

[marsh eagle]

Does anyone know if the music from the last trailer is anywhere? I’d love to listen to it

[meager garden]

there's 2 tracks

[marsh eagle]

Names for them? 👀

[sharp cosmos]

Yeah that's why i didn't want to interact further, if that's genuine, I cannot reason with that, if that's a troll, don't wanna feed that

[meager garden]

Olympus Aflame for the first half, Crossed Flames for the second half

the second half of each track, respectively(the more exciting parts)

[crude dragon]

Weapon strikes. So attacks and specials

[west fossil]

Weapon strikes.

[sharp plank]

I mean I do not really wanna go further into this, since this channel should be about hades discussion and it gets too of topic, but one last thing:

This kind of humor can go really well when you know people or interact live, but only having text this can go sideways real fast

[sharp cosmos]

I might have done a silly without you, thanks

[crude dragon]

Grip deez

[sharp cosmos]

(Playing with the moonstone axe, so like, the least adapted weapon for that)

[meager garden]

idk ry is usually chill and its jests

[indigo cypress]

Agreed but trust these are ppl who have been doing this for like months 😭

[marsh eagle]

Fantastic thank you!

[devout abyss]

stop talking about me

[crude dragon]

Yeah, it'd only be good on the spin

[devout abyss]

it's weird

[oak ivy]

Lmaooo

[meager garden]

lol

[sharp plank]

Yeah well, this goes into the "when you know people" part of my message ^^

[indigo cypress]

Yk I still have no idea what Seals is Coming means

[meager garden]

we need a trial in the court of opinions

[devout abyss]

stop feeding my ego

[indigo cypress]

I'm gonna get to 1.0 not knowing what that means

[oak ivy]

Ry is the greatest!!!!!

[devout abyss]

thats just lying

[meager garden]

someone go through all of ry's 12k messages and dig up something spicy

[sharp cosmos]

Well, of course, you're on the internet, it's all lies

[meager garden]

everyone online is a chatbot except for me anyways

[west fossil]

Same!

[oak ivy]

We're all pronto's alts....

😔

[indigo cypress]

Competition to see whom of the regulars is the most cancelable

[meager garden]

precisely

[devout abyss]

12k messages??

[meager garden]

11.7, I'm a filthy rounder

[devout abyss]

mo0re like 12 gay messafes

[meager garden]

a gay message is worth a thousand

[sharp cosmos]

damn, ry spitting facts suddenly

[oak ivy]

Wow ry you're so cool and handsome, say more cool things

[devout abyss]

every time i do a gay message i delete the most ancient one

[granite mauve]

would you rather have 67 mangos or 67 pomegranates

[meager garden]

irl? mangos

[oak ivy]

67 fear!

[devout abyss]

what is the other option

[meager garden]

in game

[indigo cypress]

Raw mango or raw pomegranate

[devout abyss]

are yuou often encountering virtual mangos

[oak ivy]

🥭

[meager garden]

I don't play enough melee for that, but occasionally yes

[oak ivy]

There you go

[devout abyss]

thats not a mango its an emoji

[granite mauve]

[indigo cypress]

Am I secretly colorblind it look likes a tomato

[oak ivy]

[devout abyss]

emangji

haha starguy!

[meager garden]

looks kinda like a peach to me

deep orange pinkish

[sharp cosmos]

Me when I can't associate an artistic representation to the object represented

[oak ivy]

Yeah tell em!!

[devout abyss]

thats my least favorite word

[granite mauve]

I am very artistic

[meager garden]

https://tenor.com/view/discordian-kallisti-eris-chaos-order-gif-14784851

[devout abyss]

my favorite word is hullaballoo

[oak ivy]

I thought it was TROBBIO

[devout abyss]

thats not a word

[oak ivy]

....

[devout abyss]

i need to grow something

[meager garden]

wheat

[devout abyss]

yeah some kind of grain

[granite mauve]

grow a brainrot

[devout abyss]

if i was adopted by foreign people i would definitely try my hand at farming

[granite mauve]

[meager garden]

The entire chat:

[indigo cypress]

For now you'll have to farm in Hades 2 ig

[devout abyss]

the entire chat is foreign?

i know lilac pretty well

[sharp cosmos]

of course not, the usa are the only country on this planet

[oak ivy]

😊

[granite mauve]

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[devout abyss]

guess the flag minigame

[meager garden]

if you use the wrong definitions, everyone is adopted by foreign people

[devout abyss]

turkey i think

[oak ivy]

No that's a bird

[devout abyss]

a plane

[sharp cosmos]

no that's superman

[little frost]

🇧🇧 🔥 my favorite flag

[meager garden]

it's got a trident on it

nice reference to poseidon from Hades II

[cursive kayak]

erm that’s clearly a percy jackson reference

[meager garden]

percy jackson just ripped off Hades smh, world is so unfair

[oak ivy]

erm that's clearly a roman myth reference.. Don't know why Suace said Poseidon instead of Neptune though....

[meager garden]

wait they made new books in the series where he's in uni?

[cursive kayak]

yeah i havent read them though

[solemn crest]

I never chat on here but chat when does Hades 2 come out?

[indigo cypress]

Idk if I should be happy or sad that we'll likely never gonna get to see SG's take on Calypso

[cursive kayak]

the 25th!

[indigo cypress]

Like good bc fandoms become so annoying ab her but also like potential

[meager garden]

damn they really did just keep making books

[solemn crest]

Oml YESSSSSSS

I plan to play it asap

[cursive kayak]

<t:1758816000:f>

is the exact time

[solemn crest]

Oh okie

[indigo cypress]

What timezone is that for

[raven perch]

Yours

[cursive kayak]

it adjusts to yours

[raven perch]

It changes to suit your timezone

[cursive kayak]

so whatever you see is what it is

[little frost]

thankful for unix 🙏

[indigo cypress]

Ew I have to get up in the morning

[raven perch]

What you see is what you get

[solemn crest]

NO IMMA BE AT SCHOOL 😭

[indigo cypress]

Damn ig everyone at SG works 9-5

[cursive kayak]

for me it’s at noon which is nice

[west fossil]

Same.

[meager garden]

they're normal like that, afaik

[merry whale]

i mean sgg only works mon-wed so

[west fossil]

I have work though. 🙁

[meager garden]

oh do they?

[solemn crest]

How chill is this server btw chat?

[raven perch]

Do they really?, that’s crazy

[oak ivy]

Super chill

[meager garden]

idk

it'll be hard to say when it explodes when 1.0 drops

[merry whale]

ye i swear i remember smth like sgg only releasing updates from mon-wed cuz they only work those days

[oak ivy]

The most chill server you've ever seen

[raven perch]

Not chill at all they won’t let us talk about silksong in h2 discussion

[west fossil]

True.

[oak ivy]

Wait meow is right

[indigo cypress]

AD's got the boudly knife emoji locked on you from afar

[raven perch]

I figured it was because they work Mon-Fri and releasing in the first half of the week gives them time to work on hotfixes

[solemn crest]

Oooooooooooooo good to hear because I'm ditched the main server I talked in for another game due to personal reasons so this might be the next server I talk in that isn't toxic af

[meager garden]

a lot of big servers are like that

[merry whale]

hm makes sense

[little frost]

itll get really busy and hectic around release but theres a consistent group of friendly people in these chats :)

[oak ivy]

the only toxic person in here is Pronto, otherwise we're all super chill yeah :)

[indigo cypress]

Plus the technically most toxic channel is gone now rip feedback 😔

[raven perch]

Not tooo friendly pronto likes to be mean 🥺

[little frost]

REAL

[raven perch]

PFFT HAHA LILAC

[oak ivy]

lmaooooo 😭

[solemn crest]

Okie ^_^

[oak ivy]

twinssssss

[crude dragon]

How else will I remind the devs to add more revenge boons now

[raven perch]

Twinning

[indigo cypress]

Go to the modding discord

[solemn crest]

I'll just block them if they get on my nerves dw

[merry whale]

add revenge boons to ur bingo card

[raven perch]

When 1.0 drops I’m gonna become the most toxic person you know I will be incorrigible

[oak ivy]

maybe I'll learn how to do that one day...

[sharp plank]

Just dont talk about being poor and you are fine 🙂

[indigo cypress]

I do have to go back and play Olympus Extra Hades 1 now that they added Heph

[raven perch]

Pronto is fine he’s very helpful . He just also likes to make fun of us 😔

[oak ivy]

I wanna see toxic meow sooo bad 🥺

[meager garden]

we can all go "back in my day"

[little frost]

r u allowed to block urself?

dont think discord allows it

[sharp plank]

When 1.0 drops I will be crying myself into sleep cause I have just went on a two weeks business trip that same day

[raven perch]

No you don’t I’m gonna harp on this story like the Bible. I’m gonna get Mean

[oak ivy]

omg please I love drama and angst so much

[indigo cypress]

Create a bunch of alts and block each other

[raven perch]

I am glad to have your support

[solemn crest]

Achilles is my fav as you can probably tell by my profile I hope he makes it to Hades 2 DEFINITELY ISNT THO a girl can dream tho

[raven perch]

Also I have the sherma server to vent in as well

[cursive kayak]

i mean presumably you rescue the house of hades members, so he might briefly be in it?

[raven perch]

I’m sorry to say but he will probably not

[little frost]

incredibly based choice for favorite tbh

[cursive kayak]

but if he’s in it it won’t be anything significant

[crude dragon]

You got your cameo in the Hades flashback. Please look forward to it

[solemn crest]

Oml tysm

[indigo cypress]

Yeah at least like a cutscene prob of his model standing there

[merry whale]

menacingly

[crude dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-hollow-night-silksong-faridulasimanet-sherma-silksong-gif-171830693794769624

[merry whale]

best silksong character

[meager garden]

he's cool

[oak ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/sherma-hollow-knight-hollow-knight-silksong-my-beloved-my-beloved-meme-gif-25724064

[indigo cypress]

Idk if we're ever seeing Patty, Eurydice or Sisyphus besides arcana cards

[raven perch]

Oh almost definitely not

[crude dragon]

Almost certainly not

[meager garden]

everyone will come back

[merry whale]

sisyphus elysium champion trust

[solemn crest]

Just added some tags for myself ^_^

[crude dragon]

This is the Smash Ultimate of Hades

[raven perch]

The only one I can maaaybe see is Sisyphus but that’s probably not gonna happen

[indigo cypress]

Poly reskin boss except the boulder is bouldy

[crude dragon]

Sisyphus for Summit NPC room

[raven perch]

When are we seeing mortal grandpa

[meager garden]

I think a lot of characters can come back tbh since a lot of their VAs work at supergiant anyways

[raven perch]

I heard Meg’s VA quit voice acting

[oak ivy]

maybe Skelly will come back??

[cursive kayak]

🤯

[meager garden]

definitely not

[oak ivy]

awww man

[broken glen]

You really think?

[crude dragon]

Nah, Schelemeus took his job

[raven perch]

What do you mean? Skelly’s right there. He’s Odysseus, no?

[oak ivy]

Two target dummies is better than one!

[solemn crest]

I never heard of Moros from Greek mythology before I had to look up who tf he was lol

[granite mauve]

thanatos if he was freaky

[raven perch]

Moros is sadly Less freaky than Thanatos

Somehow, despite Than being the most milquetoast mf ever

[granite mauve]

😔

[cursive kayak]

moros is babygirl

[solemn crest]

So true tho

[raven perch]

Moros is wheat bread to Than’s milquetoast

[granite mauve]

almost didnt romance than on my first playthrough because he was so boring

[raven perch]

I actively chose not to romance Than even if I like megthanzag as a ship because I can’t stand his ass

I couldn’t bring myself to do it

[indigo cypress]

What even happens if you reject the partners

[cursive kayak]

i like than

[raven perch]

Nothing

[granite mauve]

no sex 😔

[indigo cypress]

Like do you get a proper friendship ending or

[granite mauve]

thats pretty much it

[solemn crest]

Than is chill

[raven perch]

“Proper” ain’t the right word for it, cuz it’s comparatively unsatisfactory

[solemn crest]

Man if only this server had like a general

[humble urchin]

you don’t hear the bed creaking noises then

[raven perch]

Than and Meg just go “oh.. you don’t want to smooch? Okay… that’s cool I guess” and then that’s it

[meager garden]

wdym this is general

[solemn crest]

This is Hades 2 discussion bud

[meager garden]

sounds like a synonym to me

[indigo cypress]

Hmm weird wish it was like 2 routes instead of just "do you want to stop"

[raven perch]

Nope this is where we talk about food

[indigo cypress]

But oh well

[merry whale]

i'm super curious if they're gonna canonize it like "yea zag did romance both of them, in our canon"

[raven perch]

They sorta tried to do that but they didn’t do a great job imo

[meager garden]

what if zag has a beard

[raven perch]

I’ll kill myself

[indigo cypress]

Under what context would they need to canocize that 💀

[merry whale]

h2

[indigo cypress]

"Hey little sis, meet my threesome"

[solemn crest]

When can you send images on this server? I'm new ofc

[polar abyss]

I mean, Mel has done more though

[sharp cosmos]

When Zag speaks of his relationships, because Mel's confused on what's happening with Nem and Eris, for instance

[polar abyss]

She would be unimpressed

[raven perch]

You need to send the image source, so basically copy the image source after sending it somewhere else

[broken glen]

Never (but you can if you just copy the image link)

[indigo cypress]

It's only in some channels (mainly victory boasting), otherwise only link copying

[meager garden]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1349278289042346008/1366210756588081182/latest.png?ex=68cd4dab&is=68cbfc2b&hm=8052e6afe899ea1ae2d45bcb3506ca8aa418e5c951c7bcbc8e1c5a20f898849a&

[sharp cosmos]

Also, on today "I should've foreseen this but I'm no Prom, just a dumbass" : A roster using Dem and Hera does not pair well with Hubris

[solemn crest]

Oh gotcha okie

[polar abyss]

No, what I’d actually want to see, is Nyx’s reaction to having iirc, 4 of her children dating her coworker?/boss?’s kids.

[meager garden]

born gain doesn't work great if you primed all of your mana away, yeah

[polar abyss]

Even if Eris was just a one-time fling

[meager garden]

it'd be interesting to see mel meet nyx lol

[sharp cosmos]

This I had foreseen, I took dem's magick boon

[cursive kayak]

nyx: ….why are hades’ children catnip to my own……..

[meager garden]

because they got those protag genes in them

[solemn crest]

I swear Hades is one of the only community that is sane I've seen

[polar abyss]

We should have known. Hades has the most appeal compared to most of the other Olympians.

[indigo cypress]

I mean if Nyx/Hades wouldn't be okay w it Hecate would prob say something

[cursive kayak]

i sincerely doubt hecate would say anything

[indigo cypress]

Although I am curious if they always need to make the mentor characters 100% supportive from the jump

[cursive kayak]

and also it’s not on them to approve or disapprove they’re gods

[meager garden]

this stuff is kinda normal to them

[solemn crest]

Is there any games out there like Hades?

[raven perch]

Nxy disapproved of Dusa

[polar abyss]

Yes. A lot. Of at-least 1 half each (Roguelite and Story-Heavy game)

[sharp cosmos]

As in fling simulator ?

[raven perch]

Dating sim visual novel

[solemn crest]

Any suggestions?

[meager garden]

hades is pretty unique I think as a roguelite VN hybrid

[cursive kayak]

but that was disapproval of friendship bc she was staff right?

[meager garden]

roguelikes usually go all in on gameplay, minimal story

[polar abyss]

Well it depends on what you are looking for.

[raven perch]

It was disapproval because Dusa was of lower status yeah

Meg and Than are also staff but she’s fine with those relationships

[polar abyss]

Like most games don’t really combine Roguelite with a huge narrative.

Though also those are some really broad categories

[sharp cosmos]

I love P3 Typhon, because Toula can express her righteous anger and kill the damn monster

Go get him girl

[solemn crest]

[meager garden]

also very few games put as much voice acting in a game as Hades

[cursive kayak]

apparently going under is good?

[polar abyss]

I mean…. I guess there is like… Wizard of Legend, but its sequel I hear is more like a ripoff of Hades.

[cursive kayak]

i have it, i just haven’t played it

[sharp cosmos]

Have a nice death and Children of Morta might suut you

[solemn crest]

[raven perch]

Play silksong. Its not like Hades 2 at all besides its narrative but you should play it anyway

[solemn crest]

Oh okie

[polar abyss]

And if you are looking for some combat focused Roguelites, Spirit Fall and Ember Knights are two games I have been interested in trying

[sharp cosmos]

Altho Have a Nice Death is cursed, it has been mafe by the french

[solemn crest]

Ty for the suggestions

[polar abyss]

The former is a platform fighter, and the latter is a co-op game

[meager garden]

I think expedition 33 might be a good game for people that like Hades, now that I think about it

unless the part they really love is the repeated runs and grinding aspect

[polar abyss]

Side note, because I haven’t gotten as far into Hades 1 as I have Hades 2: Nyx really disapproved of that relationship with Dusa because of status? Really?

[sharp cosmos]

And that's 24f surface done ! 40m clear time because I let Toula deal with P3 Typhon while I saw chatting here lmao

[polar abyss]

Great! Now on to 50 Fear

[sharp cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-think-i-will-captain-america-old-capt-gif-17162888

[polar abyss]

Hey, I was able to do it.

50 Fear surface isn’t as bad as 62.

[meager garden]

chat do we think they'll adjust the third statue back to 32f surface

[raven perch]

She fires Dusa later for two reasons: one, she thinks Dusa is working too hard (cap) and two, because Zag was getting too friendly with her and distracting her

[polar abyss]

Oh… is she rehired?

[granite mauve]

honestly I think they should

[meager garden]

they nerfed the fear req, added rivals, and also lowered the difficulty of Thessaly and Olympus mobs all kinda in the same patch

[sharp cosmos]

It's not about being able, it's about having fun in the meantime.
I don't want to play stressed by a timer, or without my arcana for instance.

[indigo cypress]

If people wanna stop at fear just let them 😭

[polar abyss]

I know. I say it as a joke. But also, high fear can be a fun challenge.

[indigo cypress]

Like only fear related thing I genuinely tell ppl they need to push for is Rivals

[solemn crest]

My friend told me the surface was hard af at first is that true 😭

[granite mauve]

until you add void

[sharp cosmos]

Rivals is the first thing I've enabled

[meager garden]

yeah it's a step up

[polar abyss]

That’s why 62 is the stopping point for most people

[meager garden]

fear is so much easier if you don't do more than like, rivals 2

[sharp cosmos]

Surface is noticeably harder than underworld for a couple reasons

[granite mauve]

its definitely harder at first but you can get used to it and its still super fun

[indigo cypress]

Generally for low fear/casual play surface is harder than UW, it kinda flips for high fear w UW being harder (but that's also missing a lot of nuance)

[solemn crest]

I see okie

[polar abyss]

Iirc, Foolish, Boated, Vytautas, and Crest-Fall are the only people (I currently know of) who have cleared and submitted a 65 run.

[meager garden]

just rivals 4 is probably harder than nonrivals 24f, now that I think about it

[sharp cosmos]

Seriously ?

[polar abyss]

In contrast, probably about 50 or more people have done 62

[granite mauve]

I wouldnt really say so

[polar abyss]

The difference of Judgement RNG is that big.

[meager garden]

there's a lot of ways to get to 24fear, and most of them are pretty minor

[polar abyss]

Idk. Without Frenzy, it isn’t as bad

But if you mean Frenzy 2 Rival 4… yeah, probably?

[solemn crest]

I've only really played a lot of Hades 1 I haven't dived too into Hades 2 yet I got to the point where you got Moros to stay but thats really it so far I'm still early on

[sharp cosmos]

I activated more Rivals as soon as I could tbh, because I need the bosses to be harder, to have more mechanics, to experience their enhanced design that aren't just generic changes, and also, because of the OST

[granite mauve]

scylla 😍

[merry whale]

truth

[sharp cosmos]

If I'm fighting a boss, I need my heart to beat at 150 bpm or nothing.

[cursive kayak]

in another server im in, red posts their 62 fear runs and im always amazed

speaking of

hi red!

whos ready for 70 fear in 1.0

[solemn crest]

Achilles in Hades 2 in my dreams

[sharp cosmos]

Goddamit red, now I have to bake another batch of treats

[meager garden]

100 fear 😍

[granite mauve]

[merry whale]

skill issue

[solemn crest]

I wish Hades genuinely had more merch

[sharp cosmos]

yes, yours >:(

[merry whale]

isn't their merch on sale rn on fangamer

[polar abyss]

I’m waiting for 670 fear in Hades 2’s Ultimate Custom Remastered Edition on the Xbox 101 a few centuries down the line

[raven perch]

They should make plushies of the companions

[sharp cosmos]

is hades merch good in terms of quality ?

[meager garden]

the rabbit can still eat the treats off the ground, it doesn't mind

[merry whale]

i have the charon shirt it's p good

[sharp cosmos]

I'm a bit rebuked by the prices

[cursive kayak]

i have the dusa ramen shirt, it’s pretty good quality yeah

[merry whale]

https://www.fangamer.com/collections/hades/products/charon-hades-shirt

[sharp cosmos]

(especially because the shipping ain't cheap)

[meager garden]

isn't that every games merch though

[granite mauve]

they should sell real life keepsakes

[sharp cosmos]

DRG merch was ok in terms of pricing

[raven perch]

You’re right I do want to have an Embryo in my house

[merry whale]

wait where's the dusa ramen

[solemn crest]

Yes but I need MORE

[cursive kayak]

wait is it not an official one?

[polar abyss]

Real life Transcendent Embryo that actually hatches a creature in a few weeks when you buy it

[merry whale]

i don't see it on fangamer

[granite mauve]

charons keepsake ❤️

[merry whale]

maybe ran out? idk

[raven perch]

Tamagotchi

[sharp cosmos]

Even better, the transcendant embryo is one of those plastic dinos thingies, but the liquid you have to soak it in is different for every single egg

[cursive kayak]

nevermind I must have gotten it on Etsy

[meager garden]

28 for a shirt is pretty good

[solemn crest]

Ppl sell Hades fan merch on Etsy?

[merry whale]

dam

[polar abyss]

Well now you need to get that shirt for all 118860 others here, Jillian! /s

[cursive kayak]

[meager garden]

I picked up a signalis shirt for 36 when it dropped

[cursive kayak]

https://i.etsystatic.com/54560799/r/il/ad091c/6474605669/il_794xN.6474605669_5vnp.jpg

[polar abyss]

Anyway, I guess 1.0 will be here in T-7 Days

[merry whale]

damn that's a good shirt

[polar abyss]

I do wonder how powerful Ares will become with 1.0, considering all the complaints.

[raven perch]

Probably not at all

They don’t like taking feedback

[indigo cypress]

I expect more QoL than balance changes for him

[sharp cosmos]

Ares gonna eat more nerfs, trust

[indigo cypress]

Like if wound hitlag is still in the game

[polar abyss]

At this point, QoL = Buff

[indigo cypress]

We never picking him again

[merry whale]

ares is p solid rn i think, would be nice if they improved plasma qol

[meager garden]

they should nerf poseidon he's too strong

[sharp cosmos]

please don't, wave strike is already clunky as it is

[meager garden]

and buff zeus he needs it

[cursive kayak]

please don’t give them ideas 😭

[merry whale]

removed poseidon from game

[meager garden]

finally, a perfect game

[merry whale]

in fact ares will steal all of poseidon boons

[polar abyss]

Actually, what if this is just a rug pull?

[meager garden]

september 25th rolls around, Hades II 1.0 drops... out of 25.0

[polar abyss]

At hades 2 1.0 “release time”, they remove it off of the Store, because Chronos indefinitely paused development

[indigo cypress]

"After hearing your complaints ab Poseidon ICD, we've decided to remove it. Now Wave Strike/Flourish trigger a wave only on the first strike."

[meager garden]

they remove it off of the store because typhon eated it

[raven perch]

They crash steam

[meager garden]

typhon ate steam too

[solemn crest]

This chat will be booming when it comes out fully

[raven perch]

No it won’t everyone will go off grid to avoid spoilers

[polar abyss]

“After hearing your complaints about Poseidon’s Internal Cooldown, we’ve decided to remove it. Poseidon’s waves will now trigger on every frame possible when an enemy is in contact with your weapon.”

[sharp cosmos]

You know what lore we need for 1.0 ? Not Zag, Nyx, or some resolution with the whole situation : We need to know why Skelly has such a strong appeal to muscle mommies, given "night's" trophies

[meager garden]

axe poseidon meta?

honestly poseidon should just crash the game

[polar abyss]

And when complaints are lodged, they shall refer to Randy Pitchfork’s advice.

“Hades 2 is a premium game for premium gamers” /s

[meager garden]

randy's crashout is still so funny to me

[merry whale]

hades 2 made by ea

[polar abyss]

Also if I misspelled his name, that was totally on purpose

[sharp cosmos]

dtb, need your opinion, the staff is thirsty, I want to play circe because cast is life, but dunno which flavor of it
Please suggest a build for it (a viable one, if you tell me heph cast i'm gonna cry)

[indigo cypress]

Randy better not ruin RoR2 dlc again 🙏

[meager garden]

hestia or zeus cast

[raven perch]

Take raki

[cursive kayak]

i loved during the switch 2 nintendo direct after deltarune’s trailer played and randy showed up everyone was like “GO AWAY”

[meager garden]

and yeah you usually take raki

[solemn crest]

DLC to unlock next location 💀

[merry whale]

who's randy

[indigo cypress]

Gearbox ceo

[polar abyss]

He’s the Gearbox CEO

[sharp cosmos]

the rimworld narrator that's all about random occurence.
Honestly, given the declarations, it'd fit

[merry whale]

hm, never heard of it

[polar abyss]

The guy in charge for Borderlands 4’s fantastic performance rate, and RoR2’s Seekers of the Storm launch

[meager garden]

a greasy guy

[merry whale]

ig they have borderlands thing

[meager garden]

duke nukem forever, aliens: colonial marines

[polar abyss]

Honestly, just don’t take Ares cast, and that’s about it.

[solemn crest]

What game are these pixel guys from?

[polar abyss]

But if you want an actual opinion… take either Zeus Cast, or Hestia Cast

[merry whale]

ares cast is pretty good on circe, u just need duos to make it sustainable

[polar abyss]

Zeus Cast builds into King’s Ransom late game (if you can, otherwise just take whatever effects the cast), and Hestia cast builds into Pyro Technique late game.

[granite mauve]

pyre

[sharp cosmos]

But basically, the guy defended his unoptimized game by saying "well, code a game engine yourself" (they didn't, they used UE5), "it's a premium game for premium gamers" (he wants to sell 100M copies of BL4), "if you're not happy, just refund" (like that solves the issue), and "the game's pretty much as optimized at it can be" (they are provable memory leaks, for once)

[polar abyss]

Yeah, that’s the thing. It needs Duos to sustain it…

[meager garden]

and also "don't do 4k if you can't do it! 1440p is fine!"

[polar abyss]

Although I guess Dem and Aphro cast really need AQ…

Oh, other thing of note; Take Arctic Gusts

[sharp cosmos]

AQ ? Air Quality, I guess ?

[merry whale]

yea, doesn't make it bad necessarily, just more investment that isn't too bad to get

[sharp cosmos]

Yep, Gust with AQ is op

[merry whale]

also if ur playing aphro cast ur playing it for the cc not the damage

[meager garden]

chat is aq before or after buffs

[polar abyss]

After

[idle crater]

its the very last thing

[solemn crest]

Whats yalls favorite God from Hades 1 / 2?

[sharp cosmos]

In terms of boons or personality ?

[meager garden]

zeus

[solemn crest]

More personality

[indigo cypress]

Gameplay or presentation

[meager garden]

hades I guess

[solemn crest]

Presentation

[polar abyss]

Hmmm… Dionysius is fantastic, but also Hades is wonderful too

[devout abyss]

HEPHAESTUS

[cursive kayak]

what does cc mean my mind is blanking

[meager garden]

crowd control

[indigo cypress]

Poseidon is a mood in both games too bad his boons suck in both too

[granite mauve]

I love poseidons uncle energy

[cursive kayak]

ah. thank you

[devout abyss]

i love fat men

[sharp cosmos]

Boons is Artemis hands down, as a cast build enjoyer since Hades I
Personality would be... Aphro, maybe ? I love her sass. Or maybe Heph

[polar abyss]

In terms of boons….. I prefer Hera and Hestia the most probably. Demeter and Apollo are also nice support gods (Freeze and Blinding Rush), but I don’t usually build heavily around them (like for their Legendaries), save for the occasional Nergal or Charon run.

[indigo cypress]

Chill was one of my fav god mechanics in H1, freeze hasn't won me over at all but gusts are cool ig

[sharp cosmos]

Dem leg is... an investment not worth the hassle tbh

[solemn fractal]

about the rivers: https://www.thoughtco.com/rivers-of-the-greek-underworld-118772

[sharp cosmos]

Her base package is enough as it is I'd say

[solemn crest]

I would say Achilles but he's a demi god but my favorite god hmmmmmm decisions decisions I'm feeling kinda like Artemis but in actual Greek mythology my fav is Athena (This is just based on personality btw not gameplay)

[solemn fractal]

maybe Melinoe is the river of Achreon?

Zag clearly is represented by the Styx

[polar abyss]

Now here’s a question. Do you agree with the following statement; Titans are classified as gods.

[sharp cosmos]

No

[solemn fractal]

but Achreon is where the Souls go when they die, and Meli is godess of souls and nightmares

[devout abyss]

yeah

[orchid acorn]

let me find my feedback pasta

[polar abyss]

I say Yes personally.

[meager garden]

not again

[solemn fractal]

no but they are both deities

[meager garden]

(yes)

[polar abyss]

Not again? What happened?

[devout abyss]

Titans are not Gods, but Titans are gods if that makes sense

[indigo cypress]

What if Bea preemptively blocked u tho

[polar abyss]

Yeah.

[meager garden]

that... doesn't make sense actually

[orchid acorn]

never stopped me before

[devout abyss]

"god" is a synonym of "deity"

[sharp cosmos]

Also, it took 2 rerolls because Hestia wouldn't give me scorch cast, and on the 3rd pick I got myself a nice heroic smolder ring 😎

[solemn fractal]

yes Titans are not Olympian gods, but they are beings of immense longetivity and power

[granite mauve]

titans are gods but old 👴

[solemn fractal]

which i would call a god

[polar abyss]

Gods as a word is often used as a catch all for the Olympians, but also they can just mean Deity, like the Titans.

[devout abyss]

but "God" is this context is referring the specifically Greek Gods, the "children" of the Titans, a separate group of Greek deities

[solemn fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/delta-rune-gerson-gerson-boom-deltarune-chapter4-gif-11185402837047032962

[granite mauve]

and primordials are gods but older 👴👴👴

[devout abyss]

God can also be the christian God but i dont think he's in hades yet

[meager garden]

titans like prom will just say "You gods..." but I personally just say they are all gods, and you have Titans and Olympians and such

[solemn crest]

They aren't causing trouble so far so I'm not blocking them just yet

[solemn fractal]

gerson dad

[cursive kayak]

please stop praying for my grandpa u are making him too strong

[orchid acorn]

Rephrasing my old Demeter feedback focusing mainly on the point i want to make - if artic ring didn't exist demeter would be considered one of the worst gods in the game. Her attack/special are almost never taken or WANTED for any primary weapon. I think the only use case people bring up is nergal in a few scenarios but even then you usually WANT apollo.

Other % gods, 30% - Ares(has wounds and other things that work off wounds). Hera starts at 50% and spreads damage even further than that 50% would imply especially with hereditary bane. Apollo starts at 40% but now scales 20% per rarity making him honestly really competitive now. Aphro is the close range queen at 80%.

Demeter is 30%, the lowest tied with ares yet he has +50 power on the attack. I believe Demeters attack/special could go up 10-15% baseline to help her out offensively. I agree in concept with the fact freeze is such a powerful defensive tool that it needs to be weaker than other attack %s as a tradeoff - but in practice Artic ring does the exact same thing for "free".

Plus are wholebreakdown on the thoughts of most t2 boons hers

TLDR remove artic ring and demeter drops to a like 1% pick rate

does everyone but me know about louis cole

[devout abyss]

pronto can you cause more trouble

[polar abyss]

Maybe

[sharp cosmos]

That's for the 1.0, secret aspect of the axe : Jesus' Cross

[devout abyss]

my fingers feel really weak right now

[meager garden]

never heard of him before hades 2

[orchid acorn]

[polar abyss]

I mean I did not either

[orchid acorn]

last time i caused trouble i got timed out for a week and i wasn't even trying to

[polar abyss]

But now I think he’s a part of Clowncore

[cursive kayak]

I didn’t either but I also don’t really follow the funk scene

[indigo cypress]

When did this happen 😭

[solemn crest]

Ur pfp is originally Raiden from mgs

[orchid acorn]

unseen balance patch 1

[granite mauve]

wow it took you a whole week to get the golden circle to 100%?

[devout abyss]

your pfp is from discord

[meager garden]

who was the person that was addicted to hera

[polar abyss]

And my pfp is form Me!

[meager garden]

I forgot

[polar abyss]

The rule of three is a great part of comedy

[devout abyss]

i was for a while but you probably arent talkina gbou me

[polar abyss]

Addicted in what sense?

[devout abyss]

hera was 99% of my pickups for like 4 months

[solemn crest]

Ur pfp has a pride flag

[meager garden]

the "got timed out for inappropriate comments" addicted I think

[devout abyss]

if hera wanted to cheat on zeus with me i would hellllllllllllllllllla decline

[oak ivy]

That's not a pride flag that's kirby

[devout abyss]

i guess

[solemn crest]

In the background of the Kirby

[polar abyss]

Oh…. Idk. There was one video from Haelian with Hera in the thumbnail and somebody said “I see two big reasons to watch this video” or whatever.

[meager garden]

1, 2, oatmeal

[polar abyss]

Maybe that’s the person you are looking for

[devout abyss]

dont forget the EPIC bad word ANGEL

[oak ivy]

Yeah I know, I was trying to make a joke.... 😔

[solemn crest]

I cant tell when ppl are jk sorry

[indigo cypress]

Lilac went to art school not comedy school 😔

[granite mauve]

[devout abyss]

she should try going to regular school too

[granite mauve]

queens ransom and kings ransom are the two reasons right?

[oak ivy]

Lmaooo😭

[devout abyss]

girls go to jupiter to get.... well, you know the rest

[meager garden]

actually it's hitch and born gain

[polar abyss]

No, it’s Queen’s Ransom, and Support Fire obviously

[oak ivy]

Lmao 😭 pronto v2. 0

[meager garden]

2 giant reasons

[orchid acorn]

im happy with my current job thx school sucks

[oak ivy]

It's okay, we have quite a few people here that are autistic! (not being mean)

[granite mauve]

artistic

[orchid acorn]

lilac speaking to the voices at 3am:

[polar abyss]

I’m gonna bet that number is like… at-least 10%.

[solemn crest]

I AM THO Actually diagnosed which is sad I gotta say that everytime

[oak ivy]

I wouldn't be surprised...

[polar abyss]

Imagine. 10,000 Autistic people storming the gates of Steam because they are waiting for the glorious release of the game where all the people are hot.

[oak ivy]

Neat, I actually called it haha

[indigo cypress]

Only reason I don't get diagnosed is bc I don't want workplace and gov discrimination 😔

[solemn crest]

Are any of you actually into Greek mythology if so what god/demigod/mortal would you want to see in a Hades game?

[devout abyss]

zagreus

[polar abyss]

Perhaps the game dunking on Jason a few times? More than the Yargonaut anyway

[indigo cypress]

I mentioned Calypso earlier but she's def not gonna be in this

[oak ivy]

@raven perch

[orchid acorn]

isn't it easier to get diagnosed and then be protected

[solemn crest]

Funny you say that my sis said she wanted Antinous 💀

[granite mauve]

I want to see helios and gaia

[meager garden]

pegasus besides in selene's art

[orchid acorn]

like im pretty sure if its at the point of a dr officially confirming it the coworkers alr know bro 😭

[solemn crest]

OML I WOULD LOVE HELIOS

[indigo cypress]

It helps you get accommodations but they're a lot harder on getting licenses

[meager garden]

damn

[oak ivy]

Only show your diagnosis when it's beneficial to you!!!

[solemn crest]

This is so damn stupid but I hope maybe Ody shows his son Telemachus

[granite mauve]

who's Ody?

do you mean Nobody

[meager garden]

sseus

[orchid acorn]

Susseus

[indigo cypress]

Dr seus or dr zeus

[solemn crest]

Ody is a shorter version of saying Odysseus in some franchises he's in

[granite mauve]

sussus amogus

[meager garden]

chat will odysseus betray us in 1.0

[polar abyss]

He is when he has that private conversation with Hecate, perhaps.

[devout abyss]

i think ody's in the wrong

[devout abyss]

SIXTH WEAPON IS A BOW!!!!

[indigo cypress]

He's gonna give us the windbag as an escort mission on a prophecy

[meager garden]

if 1.0 doesn't have the super tragic and dark ending where everyone dies that I made up in my mind I will be mad

[indigo cypress]

Carry it thru an entire region without it taking damage

[solemn crest]

Genuinely my sis wanting Antinous in Hades is kinda based tho ngl he would be so interesting

[devout abyss]

nous > antinous

[orchid acorn]

i was sure 6th wep was gonna be a whip 😔

[meager garden]

they should add agammemnon I'm sure that'd be fine

[oak ivy]

I was hoping for it too...

[granite mauve]

hades 3 for sure!

[indigo cypress]

The 6th weapon always need to have different controls, a whip would control too well

[raven perch]

Whar

[orchid acorn]

idk they could've swapped skull and 6th weapon like they did for fists and rail

[meager garden]

6th weapon should be turnbased

[merry whale]

if we had a whip icarus woulda romanced us in the surface run

[oak ivy]

Nvm the joke is over now...

[meager garden]

nah he's too baby

[raven perch]

Zagréus

[granite mauve]

if mel got a whip what would the aspects be

[raven perch]

Aspect of Jesus

[meager garden]

chat do we think Zag will get 1 or 2 lines of dialogue?

[granite mauve]

Megaera obviously but who else

[oak ivy]

1

[merry whale]

aspect of franziska von karma

[meager garden]

Aspect of Poison

[orchid acorn]

more than that, less than other players expect though

[granite mauve]

4999.375

[orchid acorn]

idk how much dialogue does like dionysys currently have. im ballparking that

[granite mauve]

well he has a lot

[meager garden]

If there's no playable Zag in 1.0 I will cry and explode and punch a hole in my monitor

[orchid acorn]

not like a full on crossroads NPC tho

[merry whale]

aspect of alecto would actually be p interesting, deal enough damage and get enraged

[raven perch]

Good

[meager garden]

will zag have more dialogue than persephone from H1 I wonder

[granite mauve]

I just want zag to prank mel at some point, we need annoying older sibling rep in this game

[raven perch]

IF HE DOES I’M RIOTING

oh

[orchid acorn]

honestly its probably a better comparison here

[granite mauve]

probably not

[orchid acorn]

especially since all his stuff is gonna be recorded for this last update and tahts it with no more "Hey this would be cool"

[crude dragon]

Be sure to post a vid

[meager garden]

Zag's va is darren though so like

[polar abyss]

Ok, actually, I know of a character that could be interesting…. We’re scaling the lineage back to the last generation not covered; Ouranos

[meager garden]

it's probably a lot easier to just load him up with more dialogue

[orchid acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/otzdarva-rage-dead-by-daylight-otz-gif-19381005

[oak ivy]

Is that you??

[orchid acorn]

i wish i looked like otz

[raven perch]

Darren “Killin’ ‘Em” Korb

[granite mauve]

darren alone in the recording studio making the skelly conversations

[cursive kayak]

i think there’s so much great writing potential with zag. i think he will turn into a crossroads npc or have a similar amount of dialogue

[raven perch]

Guys did you know we have video footage of Zag singing

[polar abyss]

Logan also would be alone in the recording studio quite a bit, considering the flashback scene (you know, since he voices Chronos and Hades)

[raven perch]

He sings one line from the hit song “Snake Eater” from the Metal Gear series

[solemn crest]

I'll probably be back on here tommrow bye chat

[meager garden]

bye

[polar abyss]

I haven’t seen the whole thing, but are there any VA / character bits from the anniversary stream?

[cursive kayak]

logan also voices chronos?

[granite mauve]

logan voices EVERYONE 😭

[meager garden]

logan voices meg?

[cursive kayak]

dude has so much talent wtf

[oak ivy]

Except for Logan the Wolverine

Logan doesn't voice Logan....

[orchid acorn]

they shoutout all the voice actors as they appear except for athena

which i personally found very funny

[meager garden]

can we get a Logan edition of Hades II where he just does ALL the dialogue

[raven perch]

They also poke fun at Greg for voicing Hypnos

[polar abyss]

I did hear that

[raven perch]

And I personally found rather sad

[polar abyss]

But what I meant, is if Darren had recorded some “new lines” as Zagreus or Skelly during the session

[raven perch]

No why would he

[polar abyss]

Well, like as a bit

[orchid acorn]

eh they made their bed going public with a horrible decision

[raven perch]

Darren wasn’t on the stream

[polar abyss]

Oh… oops

[raven perch]

Marin uses they/them

[devout abyss]

did they. not shoutout the new athena va

[solemn fractal]

tbf i could def see zag as the goofy but incredibly overprotective brother

[oak ivy]

Actually speaking of, what pronouns do you use meow?

[orchid acorn]

they stated, and for the most part, that they were staying away from h2 for the most part

[indigo cypress]

Well they were playing Hades 1 so new va wouldn't be it

[devout abyss]

oh lol

[raven perch]

And they’re an openly queer voice actor who needs medical care in this economy/socio-political state I don’t blame them for getting desperate

[raven perch]

Any is kewl

[solemn fractal]

honestly im really looking foward to how meli reacts if her family isn't the idealized version that she had in her mind

[orchid acorn]

basically everything in the stream was "hey remember when we made this" "this voice is provided by X" "seeing this reminds me of how we keep needing to relearn the same lesson in game dev"

[oak ivy]

Oh ok cool!

[raven perch]

My thing is, I don’t think Mel has an idealized version of them

[solemn fractal]

i don't mind tbh

[meager garden]

Mel and Hades are pretty chill and I don't see that changing in the aftermath

[raven perch]

The closest we get is that she used to talk to Zag like an imaginary friend

[solemn fractal]

if they need the money feel free to advertise it all

[indigo cypress]

Mel does literally say on first Chronos victory "Why would I care ab my family, never met them"

[solemn fractal]

like brah i hope hades 2 is a huge success for them cuz it's a great game

[indigo cypress]

Could just be her being angsty ofc

[raven perch]

She was likely bluffing

[meager garden]

Mel might be a bit shocked when she meets Zag, but also he might be more responsible than we've seen in H1 because he's post H1 and also it's wartime now

[devout abyss]

god i miss ultron battle matrix

[raven perch]

Mel has likely heard stories about Zag from Artemis and Hermes

[solemn fractal]

she literally has a poster of them in her room for brooding bruh

[meager garden]

doesn't mel and dio talk about zag

[raven perch]

But she also tells Hecate she doesn’t feel very many feelings about their absence

[granite mauve]

Chronos knows shes lying there

[oak ivy]

I don't know what these words mean but hell yeah

[raven perch]

A bit? Not much

[solemn fractal]

like she always states don't forget the promise in our hearts
don't forget im with you in the dark every time brah

[cursive kayak]

mel’s feelings about family and her family are complex and super well-written tbh

[meager garden]

not very messy though, which I've seen some people expect

[indigo cypress]

Sometimes you get sad more ab the event rather than the person

Like if your parents dissappear on you as a kid, you'll resent not having parents around. If they suddenly show up in your life when you're older not like you're running into their arms saying I missed you

[solemn fractal]

that's fair, but i do think that part of the reason is the fact that hecate is her protomom without hecate she kinda crumbles

[meager garden]

I'm looking forward to hecate getting over her imposter syndrome and becoming mom

[raven perch]

I think it’s very interesting that Mel doesn’t really care about her mission that much

[solemn fractal]

that's a good point ngl

[solemn fractal]

maybe it's less about the mission and more about the disappointment she'll bring if she doesn't do it?

[raven perch]

Like she cares cuz she’s a child soldier with perfectionist issues but she doesn’t care in the sense that Nemesis is right, this isn’t all that personal for her

[devout abyss]

killing for the love of the game

[raven perch]

Yup

[cursive kayak]

i don’t think she denies being mel’s mom because it’s imposter syndrome

[solemn fractal]

yeah tbh she was literally groomed for the sake of killing chronos, maybe the whys don't really matter to her as much as the hows

[raven perch]

She’s more angry at Chronos for disrupting what she believes to be a healthy system status quo, than she is that he ‘napped her family specifically

[raven perch]

It is, to an extent

[meager garden]

doesn't she say like "I'm not worthy of being your mother, your real mother is so much better than me"

[solemn fractal]

i feel like it's a fair bit of guilt mixed in with impostor syndrome

[cursive kayak]

I did not remember that oof

but yeah my thought was mainly guilt

[solemn fractal]

cuz not just because she doesn't feel like she's worthy, but also becuz she raised her for the sole purpose of being a killing machine

[cursive kayak]

^^^

[indigo cypress]

Wasn't it the same w Nyx and Persephone tho

[polar abyss]

I do wonder however… would Nemesis (or someone else) fit the job if Mel didn’t exist to fill that role?

[raven perch]

It’s guilt but yeah the imposter syndrome element of it is “I could never be worthy of being your mother, look at everything I’ve put you through”

[cursive kayak]

that’s what my thought was. like “don’t call me your mother I literally raised you to be a weapon”

[solemn fractal]

i do want something awful to happen to someone meli cares about, so she does begin to care more about the bigger picture

[raven perch]

Nem would but she doesn’t have the timecube resistance

[meager garden]

Mel: hey mom
Hecate: I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER, YOUR REAL MOTHER IS SO MUCH COOLER (I will take the free nectar though)
Mel: no you're my mom

[cursive kayak]

yeah that seems right

[indigo cypress]

I nominate Icarus

[polar abyss]

Like obviously there is grooming. But also I feel like it’s a “lesser of two evils”, because fixing the brain of a child soldier is probably easier than fixing a world domination plot.

[meager garden]

I doubt anything bad happens to any npc

[raven perch]

I nom Hecate

[broken glen]

I nominate nemesis

[raven perch]

Mel cares about Icarus yes but Hecate is the most important person in her life

[solemn fractal]

yeah persephone will never be able to raise her own kid, but tbh Nyx and Zag never had problems accepting each other as Mother and Son, hell their main thing is reconnecting Chaos w/ Nyx

[devout abyss]

nemesis + ominate = ???

[meager garden]

Hades 2 isn't really the type of game to have like, serious consequences imo

[raven perch]

She has a third child

[raven perch]

You’ll see

[solemn fractal]

stolen by gaia trust

hades 3, persephone becomes the ultimate helicopter parent

[broken glen]

She’s gonna become Demeter

[devout abyss]

every app on my computer except discord crashed and none of them will open

[solemn fractal]

oooh what if all the stress and time makes her get white hair like her in hades 2 design

[solemn fractal]

your computer is gone dawg
your computer is dying

[meager garden]

its not like Hades really did anything wild

[broken glen]

Well she’s frozen in time

[solemn fractal]

yes hecate is the most important person in her life but she's still a titaness
i feel like it has to happen to someone way less powerful because meli didn't care enough and leads to meli realizing "damn this was kinda our fault"

[broken glen]

Presumably

[solemn fractal]

fair, but i do want newer designs

[meager garden]

I wish hecate was real and also my mom

[broken glen]

I mean they’ll definitely be redrawn at the very least

[meager garden]

do we think any house of hades people are getting redesigns or nah

Honestly I'm kind of expecting new art, now that I think about it

[broken glen]

Thanatos is gonna be bald

[cursive kayak]

rapunzel than

[granite mauve]

aren't they literally frozen in time though?

[meager garden]

from seeing how much work he has to do, yeah

[granite mauve]

if zag isnt frozen in time I bet he will have a beard like hades

[meager garden]

frozen in time after some time has passed since the end of h1, though, right?

[solemn fractal]

"Clean up your room already. This is how you choose to spend your life? I won't have my child living as a degenerate, dirty and in squalor..."

[raven perch]

We see their models, he looks exactly the same

[indigo cypress]

Likely just Zag, Nyx and Persephone, everyone else will likely just be 3d models

[granite mauve]

they could redo the models for 1.0

[cursive kayak]

yeah but some amount of time has passed since the last game. enough for hades and persephone to have another child at least. but we don’t know how many years in between end of h1 and mel’s birth is

[orchid acorn]

you don't need new designs to have a new pose

[cursive kayak]

i personally am not expecting new art

[solemn fractal]

i want zag to look more official bro has been doing this job for like such a long ass time

[broken glen]

Imagine seeing her blocking your path on the way to school 💀

ITS TIME TO BE TESTED AGAIN

[meager garden]

Dont want to be late? Beat the timer.

[granite mauve]

LUNAR RAY

[raven perch]

I would like new art! I’m scared he’s gonna look weird

[cursive kayak]

[raven perch]

A lot of the portraits have faces that trigger my uncanny valley response

[solemn fractal]

im not sure if it's funnier for her to quiz you about school topics or an actual mortal fight to the death

[granite mauve]

zagreus has just been playing hades 1 for 20 or so years since being captured

[broken glen]

THE MOON

[granite mauve]

(haunts you)

[cursive kayak]

i mean new art would be cool but honestly I hadn’t considered it until this point

[solemn fractal]

ong tho all of you are missing the real mommy: Selene

[broken glen]

Both

[orchid acorn]

i think they already changed nyx's pose from early EA to a new one

[indigo cypress]

Now 1.0 will never release

[orchid acorn]

but it was just reused art from h1 again

[cursive kayak]

selene is lesbian aunt

[solemn fractal]

forget the Endymion stuff but still

[raven perch]

They didn’t yeah

[orchid acorn]

so i doubt its gonna be anyhing new

[granite mauve]

shes busy reflecting the light of helios

[solemn fractal]

wait i thought that was artemis

[raven perch]

Artemis and Selene are your sisters

[cursive kayak]

artemis is aroace aunt

[solemn fractal]

valid

[raven perch]

That’s what they call themselves in reference to Mel

[granite mauve]

🐜🐜🐜

[cursive kayak]

oh yeah ik

[broken glen]

Artemis would help you cheat on the test

[cursive kayak]

silver sisters thing

[raven perch]

Not even just that, Selene explicitly says she feels like Mel’s older sister

[solemn fractal]

moros prob just watches you getting wrecked

[raven perch]

Moros doesn’t know how to do the test either

Mr. moron

[solemn fractal]

ngl i always saw selene less in a sister light and more in a "professionals talking to a far higher superior"

[broken glen]

The fates chastising moros for getting a 92 on his finals (he hasn’t taken it yet)

[cursive kayak]

apollo, god of knowledge: sis you can’t—

artemis: hey if they have the knowledge to get away with cheating, isn’t that also demonstrating skill and knowledge?

[raven perch]

I mean yeah but it’s textual that Selene feels like she’s Mel’s older sister

[broken glen]

It’s SURVIVAL

[solemn fractal]

the fates on their way to change the test questions to whatever you didn't cover (Greek tragedy motif)

[solemn fractal]

ain't no way apollo isn't giving u a leaked version of the test early

[cursive kayak]

look apollo is both the god of knowledge and truth, i would not expect him to

[meager garden]

truth nuke?

[broken glen]

Eris would write you your essay but use AI to get you in trouble

[solemn fractal]

ooh or maybe hestia calls the PTA to give u some bonuses for the test, or Zeus straight up makes the test easier by pulling stings?

[solemn fractal]

god of foresight too, and what wouldn't he do for a klondike bar?

[meager garden]

"Can I borrow your homework?"
Eris: Sure Used AI on everything

[solemn fractal]

what wouldn't anyone do for a klondike bar

[granite mauve]

Eris would write an A+ essay but add "as an ai language model" randomly somewhere in there to mess with you

[solemn fractal]

she would carry a fake homework to give to you that's 70% wrong

[indigo cypress]

Why are we creating a universe where Mel is the ult nepo baby

[solemn fractal]

she kinda is tho?

and it's fun, plus someone called hecate mommy

[cursive kayak]

idk im just arguing semantics that apollo absolutely wouldn’t help u cheat lol

[granite mauve]

nemesis certainly thinks she is

[solemn fractal]

u have a fair point, but i really do think any greek god would be willing to help u cheat for a klondike bar

[meager garden]

Nemesis would've gotten into tartarus if she just got the hades genes

[solemn fractal]

just personal headcanon

[broken glen]

Odysseus would help you cheat but you’re gonna be forced to study the material afterwards

[granite mauve]

nemesis will steal icarus wings to fly into tartarus

[cursive kayak]

*thought

im p sure theres character development where nem realizes how much mel has trained and deserves this and it isn’t just hecate picking favorites

[meager garden]

I would too probably

[solemn fractal]

plus apollo did technically help mortals cheat as well, in the iliad he and aphro supported hector, and he and artemis guided Paris's arrow to achilles heel

[raven perch]

Nemesis is also a nepo baby the only reason she’s still here is cuz Nyx pulled strings

[indigo cypress]

Lmao what if in 1.0 they add an event where you enter the Cerberus boss to her getting stomped

[solemn fractal]

yeah nem apologizes after u beat hecate multiple times

[meager garden]

Eris is also a nepo baby the only reason she's still alive is because the rules don't allow me to get her in the camp

[raven perch]

Which is lame as hell

[raven perch]

I’ll protect her

I’m her mother now

[meager garden]

I want to take her wings and give them to icarus to use, he can like, quadwield them or something

and also her gun and give it to hestia

[raven perch]

I really hope Icarus and Eris have more interactions in 1.0

[broken glen]

Well maybe Eris wouldn’t have to be so defensive if you didn’t want to attack her on sight. Ever thought about that?

[solemn fractal]

and honestly i don't blame her cuz like her mom is trapped in the deepest pit of hell by a sadistic titan and all of the world's hope rests on the shoulders of a young child soldier godess while all she can do is sit around and wait

[indigo cypress]

Icarus biblically accurate angel version?

[raven perch]

Their beef is so funny

[solemn fractal]

that's bs she would def still attack you

[broken glen]

And?

[solemn fractal]

she'd prob hit u harder for saying that shi

[meager garden]

yeah I did
she deserves it though
I will wage war on her when 1.0 drops

[granite mauve]

and thats why shes my favorite

[solemn fractal]

ngl when she was telling me about how no one loves and trusts her i kinda was agreeing with no one

[raven perch]

I love and trust her

[solemn fractal]

couldn't be my GOAT Medea: she attacks you for ur blood lmao

[meager garden]

she's chill like that

[raven perch]

I genuinely love Eris soooo much she’s my fave in h2

[cursive kayak]

nyx: *treats eris like there’s something wrong with her*

eris: *resents her and doesn’t help her cause*

nyx: *shocked pikachu face*

eris can’t choose who she is

[raven perch]

Hypnos is my fave in H1 I have an attachment for Nyx’s black sheep children

[solemn fractal]

fair enough i think the entire we ought to "fix" her thing is BS
i like the fact that she can remain who she is

[granite mauve]

when you have as many children as nyx you're bound to mess up with one of them

[broken glen]

While she can make some improvements with support, people want her to do the equivalent of a disabled person getting out of a wheelchair

[meager garden]

I wish I could "fix" eris

[solemn fractal]

is hypnos really the black sheep tho
they do seem to like him

[granite mauve]

and its not like nyx had the greatest parent herself

[raven perch]

She messed up with allll of them

[broken glen]

That’s just how she is

[raven perch]

What? No everyone hates his ass

[solemn fractal]

you can't fix her bro
she'd fix something up ur ass if you tried

[raven perch]

Even Zag doesn’t like him all that much

[cursive kayak]

I like that part of her and mel’s relationship is mel being like “honestly no I don’t intend to change you, you’re fine as you are”

[meager garden]

idk I think this is more like, personality issue instead of genetic issue

[solemn fractal]

? Zag straight up got him an autograph from Asterius, seems to be cheerful when talking to him, and seems to like him

[granite mauve]

hypnos is just made to be a bit of a punching bag in h1 because he jabs at you for dying

[raven perch]

Zag also “talks to him so nobody else has to” and did not notice he was missing from the banquet

[solemn fractal]

ah
that's kinda sad...

anyway icarus's death in the v1.0 release was wild

[raven perch]

Hypnos genuinely means every bit of advice he gives he’s trying to help

[raven perch]

He’s already dead

[solemn fractal]

I can't believe he looked at Meli and said "It's ok Meli you are the Hades 2"

[raven perch]

To have died again something horrible must have happened

[solemn fractal]

like death death

[polar abyss]

Wouldn’t Mel be Persephone 2?

Or would she be the Hades 3?

[broken glen]

And then flew into chronos, killing him instantly

[solemn fractal]

bro did not get the luminescent hammer lmao

[meager garden]

Mel kinda is Hades II though

[raven perch]

Kamikazeeeee

[indigo cypress]

"Meli . . . With my last breath . . . Take this Supply Chain"

[meager garden]

and Zag is Persephone II

[solemn fractal]

bro did not reach zag death scene lmao

[broken glen]

The true ending is actually attainable already, you just have to take supply chain to get it

[polar abyss]

? With the rake?

[solemn fractal]

"Meli... this is the last of my Hammer" gets crushed by Bouldy

[polar abyss]

Or do you mean Zag and Thanatos?

[meager garden]

with the van

[granite mauve]

wake hypnos save thanatos bury zagreus live happily ever after

[meager garden]

someone quick, do the asgore dess meme but with hades and zag

[raven perch]

You’re forgetting “get married”

[solemn fractal]

Hades was driving in his van right after a can
hey that bump was shaped like a son

[broken glen]

Driving in my chariot

What about Charbydis, but every tentacle is Theseus' gatling

[solemn fractal]

death

just for this sentence alone

death

[broken glen]

Also off-topic but I feel like you could distract typhon if you showed him those videos with the dancing fruits for babies

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-hey-bear-sensory-funny-gif-14956401421973495915

[meager garden]

it'd be very funny if chronos tried to show cocomelon to mel to distract her

[broken glen]

“You think this is funny, titan?!?”

“Yes actually”

[cursive kayak]

typhon being a cocomelon ipad baby was not on my bingo card

[polar abyss]

New commission idea

Typhon staring at the tiniest phone possible watching Cocomelon.

Just… fantastic.

[meager garden]

say that again?

[polar abyss]

Sure. “Typhon staring at the tiniest phone possible watching Cocomelon.”

[broken glen]

FRUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIITTTTT…

[sharp cosmos]

How about a tiny phone for every eye it has

[polar abyss]

What if instead it’s sentence mixing when he speaks about the video, like those TF2 videos?

“BaAAAaaaNnnNNNnAaaaannNAA!”

There’s some video of Heavy saying something like this as a sentence mix

[sharp cosmos]

Also, to necro the topic while I was letting the Yargonauts beat Typhon on their own, Hypnos is def not hated, it's just that the house was very focused on productivity and work, something that Hypnos wasn't very good at due to his dissipated behaviour.
Also, he's kind of a dummy, but when you get past the whole "chastising someone over and over doesn't make them more productive", everyone tries to help and get nicer, even if people like Thanatos are at their wits end because the model of the house doesn't suit the god of sleep

[raven perch]

I mean yeah saying he’s “hated” is me being hyperbolic but he’s definitely the black sheep of the House my guy

[sharp cosmos]

That we can agree with

And to me that's entirely due to how Hades manages his house and hox Hypnos is

[cursive kayak]

i wouldn’t say he’s dumb, he’s just socially unaware of a lot of things

hypnos being autism coded and being the black sheep sort of doesn’t sit right sometimes but I understand it wasn’t the intention

[sharp cosmos]

Not just socially unaware, the whole list things was him not thinking much ahead too, like he's not making further connections past face value

[raven perch]

The list thing is his autism coding

[sharp cosmos]

True, when I think about it

[cursive kayak]

ok buddies I need like 4 more things for my bingo card

what do u suggest

[crude dragon]

What's already on there?

Hmm
You can be in a throuple (again)?

[cursive kayak]

eh I mean I already have done the 4 relationships, mel is already poly

[cerulean lake]

Hmmm

[crude dragon]

• Pan nerf reverted
• Medea buffed (direct or indirect)
• Mel Axe nerfed further (direct or indirect)
• Coat still awkward
• Pan nerfed further
• Ares nerfed again
• Hephaestus buffed further
• Unseen Arcana buff
• Strength nerfed again

• Phalanx Shot remains unchanged

[cursive kayak]

phalanx shot remains unchanged is funny LOL

[cerulean lake]

Noooo god i hope they dont nerf mel axe...

[mystic cypress]

Why did they change Blood into Plasma anyway?

[crude dragon]

Probably for visibility during the Typhon fight, if I were to guess?

[mystic cypress]

Good point, even though Plasma doesn't fit thematically
