[manic bobcat]

Gotta go fast

[warped iron]

next best weapon is rail with 12:42.97

😩

[vapid narwhal]

pray for RNGesus

[brisk trail]

i just dont have it in me to go fast

unless im under pressure

[warped iron]

but hermes would be jealous

[brisk trail]

like high-ish heat td3

[rough token]

🎵 under pressure 🎵

[vapid narwhal]

you pretty much need to get like 4+ free rooms and 2 sack for sub 10 iirc?

[brisk trail]

i tried to speedrun with only fo and td and i got bad times

like, same with my high heat attempts

[vapid narwhal]

not sure if 4 free room is even possible

[manic bobcat]

Def is

[rough token]

ye

[brisk trail]

shop is a free room, no?

[warped iron]

yesn't

timer still ticks

[vapid narwhal]

timer ticks in shop but not ? rooms

[brisk trail]

like if you take midshop

instead of going into an encounter

[warped iron]

it's usually faster yes

free? no

[manic bobcat]

Hitting 1 NPC, 1 Than, 1 Chaos, 1 Fountain

That's 4

[rough token]

chaos doesn't stop the clock tho

[warped iron]

fountain
pretty sure it ticks during fountains

yeah, neither does chaos

[manic bobcat]

Free doesn't mean completely free

[brisk trail]

my definition of a free room is different

[rough token]

but you can hit 3 NPCs and Than

[brisk trail]

yeah

[rough token]

true

that's fair

[manic bobcat]

Free room just means fast rooms

[rough token]

true

[warped iron]

If you don't run TD then you have a chance for whatever that room where your objective is survive

[brisk trail]

ye

[manic bobcat]

That, too

[warped iron]

that's mostly free

[manic bobcat]

Which is funny

[brisk trail]

it takes long

[manic bobcat]

Because igt speedrun doesn't use the speedrun heat

[warped iron]

it takes long but the timer doesn't tick during the 45 seconds

@brisk trail

[brisk trail]

wait, speedruns aren't rta?

[manic bobcat]

Nope

Well, depends

[rough token]

I believe RT is a different category

[warped iron]

^

[brisk trail]

i just know they take a point of ts and fo

td*

[manic bobcat]

Some categories are RTA, the most popular category (any heat 1 weapon) is IGT

[rough token]

what does the A stand for?

lol

[manic bobcat]

Real time attack

[rough token]

oh

[manic bobcat]

Idk why attack

[rough token]

xD

[manic bobcat]

But eh

[granite ether]

except fresh file which is RTA but that's an exception and not very popular

[manic bobcat]

So after some Googling, Time Attack is a mode in motorsports and racing. Real Time Attack is probably appropriated from that maybe?

[rough token]

huh

neat

I'd ask in #h1-builds-and-combat , better suited for that ^.^

[manic bobcat]

Deadly Flourish Charged Skewer

[rough token]

also that

lmao

[manic bobcat]

All you need to know

[granite ether]

4th aspects are also spoilers in this channel as an fyi

[hexed galleon]

ok deleted lololol

[granite ether]

so please use spoiler tags or refer to it as 4th spear or hidden spear ^_^

[manic bobcat]

How about 5th spear?

[warped iron]

what if not

[manic bobcat]

Is it OK to mention

[brisk trail]

spear is just extra long 3-pronged sword

[granite ether]

that's theseus' spear floating in the arena

[tired sundial]

Just a sword on a stick

The hidden weapon is uhhhh totally zag throwing infinite pots of greek fire

[brisk trail]

i would like zag to fight with his bare fists

like a true fighter

[manic bobcat]

So, like, fists?

[tired sundial]

Greco-roman wrestling

[manic bobcat]

You have 🐻 fists instead

[brisk trail]

i want him to pull a piledriver on theseus

[tired sundial]

Suplex the furies

[rough token]

every time I see that I read it as furries I'm cursed

[brisk trail]

same

[manic bobcat]

same

[granite ether]

RKO out of nowhere on Final Boss

[tired sundial]

[brisk trail]

which is your favorite furry

[tired sundial]

Wrestling with different aspects like pankration or sumo

[manic bobcat]

I like ASMR Meg

[dire grove]

i wonder when hades is coming to gog

[manic elk]

Is it allowed to ping devs If I have a question for one of them?

[worn ember]

Is Hades ever coming to other consoles?

[rough token]

it's not not allowed, but especially at this hour it's not a great idea. I can potentially answer it though, what's up?

[rough token]

from #hades-faq

Will Hades ever come to other platforms?
We launched v1.0 of Hades only on Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. We'll be considering opportunities to bring the game to additional platforms down the line. Thank you for your interest.

[worn ember]

Thanks

[manic elk]

I was just wondering why Good Riddance (Eurydice Solo) was mixed so "muddy". More often than not songs in spotify are too top heavy but this song is strangely mixed compared to other songs in the album. It seems like the song had a eq that cutted most of the treble and upper mids

The backtrack seems to be pretty similar in level with others

But the vocals particulary are very "dim" in the treble

[rough token]

Well, I can tell you that's definitely not a question I can answer xD

I'd probably drop it in #supergiant-games (that channel is a bit less busy, so they're more likely to see it) and also hang onto it for the next time they do a Q&Q.

You could probably ghost ping @ Darren#1241(where you send the message, then edit in an @ so it lights up for them but doesn't ping them)

[manic elk]

Okay I'll do that

[rough token]

I hadn't noticed that though, might go give it another listen

[manic elk]

Um

I can't ghost ping as I don't have a message to answer to

[rough token]

yes you can :P

[manic elk]

how

Editing a message afterwards?

[green maple]

Swan just did it

[rough token]

yeah

[manic elk]

Ohh

[rough token]

just copy the bit from my mesesage

and then remove the space

[manic elk]

Makes sense

[manic elk]

Did I do it right?

Not that you'd know xD

[granite ether]

Another option would be to use the contact us form on the Supergiant website ^_^

Assuming you get no response here or in #supergiant-games

[rough token]

Oh yeah, sleeby me forgot about that xD

[granite ether]

All good mate, hope sleepRNG is kind to you when it does happen

[manic elk]

Just curious, do you hear the difference in that clip i posted to #supergiant-games

[granite ether]

I haven't listened to it, mostly because heading to bed

[manic elk]

Fair

[vapid narwhal]

LEL this run is ridiculous, no trippy shot no zeus still at elysium

probably wash

[green jungle]

I'm currently constantly creating and deleting saves to get a first try escape run. Wish me luck

[heady oriole]

this is gonna be fun

same time suffering

[manic elk]

I wonder if one day everyone silently agreed to speak like gods do in Hades

It would be glorious when newcomers would come in :D

[green jungle]

Honestly I would love to have ||Persephone's|| voice 😌

[manic elk]

I-I'm sure you sound good as you are! I -I mean if that's okay that I think that way... I'm sorry for interrupting you this way! I think I will go now... B-bye!

Wait you probably don't know who I'm impersonating as you haven't played Hades

Goddammit

Or at least it isn't in your ranks

[bronze lily]

Okay, i'm very curious, is Hades 3D? Like is it built with 3D models that look like 2D sprites or is it actually 2D?

[green jungle]

My message to give me the Hades ranks didn't Load D:

holup

[lone sinew]

yeah it's models are 3d

[green jungle]

Also I think Hades has 2-D painted backgrounds but the character models are 3-D, yeah

I should specify that I do have 20 hours in Hades. Escaped twice but now I'm practicing for a first try escape run. Depending on some luck, I'll need to play flawlessly.

[lone sinew]

Good luck!

[green jungle]

Getting the Rhythm with the Sword of Zagreus in conjunction with dashing and accounting for every enemy I'll have to face is umm...a little more than stressful so far

thanks

[dusky zinc]

I'm afraid to upload my Switch save file, as my main save is from Steam. Anyone gotten it to work? I need to overwrite my Switch's puny save with my 10+ Steam save. 🙂

[lone sinew]

ask in the tech support channel

[brisk trail]

keep a backup

[dusky zinc]

Thanks you

Thank...

[void vigil]

the character models are 3D, you can learn more about the process behind creating them here https://youtu.be/cYJ6d1ifSqA

[tacit ember]

athena dash is overrated

[lone sinew]

why?

[brisk trail]

heresy

[tacit ember]

because

normal dash has some i frames

idk its good

but

[lone sinew]

you are saying normal dash is better than Athena's?

[tacit ember]

no

[brisk trail]

but with athena u get

moar

[tacit ember]

im saying

u can have soemting els

like posidon

and do extra damage

[brisk trail]

i guess so

[lone sinew]

but with athena you can deflect huge waves of projectiles back at the enemies

[brisk trail]

im married to athena dash tho srry

[lone sinew]

and still be safe most of the time

[tacit ember]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

[brisk trail]

deflect gud me safe

*athena gud me safe

actually

[tacit ember]

i like holy shild

athena

[weary widget]

Also dash-Merciful End

[tacit ember]

revenge tingy

is mercifull end the ares thing

u know in styx

there are these rooms

that have holes in the ground

and its like

haha now u need to dash to get to the enimis

[lone sinew]

and you fall in them?

[tacit ember]

and ur in a smoll room

[lone sinew]

oh

[tacit ember]

but then u realise ur using bow

[brisk trail]

verygoodyesyes

[tacit ember]

and enimis cant reach u at al

https://tenor.com/view/gamedesign-shimtex-meme-shimtex-meme-gamedesign-video-gif-16295948

bruh i forgot to use ||meg|| the entire run

[lone sinew]

yeah you need to get used to ||companions||

[tacit ember]

i mean

i did alot of damage

so i gess i ignored the summon

i just got diologe i thought was funny

||hades ||should take zag fishing

[lone sinew]

haha I remember that

[sharp turret]

After the update the switch has a weird graphical issue. The weapon swing effects now go under certain things in the environment instead of over. It looks really weird and distracting

[brisk trail]

u should report it in #h1-tech-support just in case

[sharp turret]

Ok I will thanks

[tacit ember]

bruh

im using the ||flower||

and after i beat ||hades||

one of my boons levelled up

https://tenor.com/view/very-useful-ian-carter-helpful-effective-efficient-gif-16516458

[lone sinew]

lol

good now you can continue stronger!

[tired sundial]

The truest strength is pointless strength

Just flexin'

[tacit ember]

https://tenor.com/view/weird-flex-but-ok-gif-12804934

[sharp turret]

Here’s the graphical issue I’m referring to just in case. I also put it in the tech thread:

Ok now it won’t let me put up a video

Never mind I guess

[lone sinew]

me: having huge backstab damage
some enemies: HA MORTAL I shall counter you with ULTIMATE defence. I HAVE NO BACK

[tired sundial]

Theseus just tosses the spear aside and has a shield in front and back

Ultimate defense

[lean path]

What is ambiguity bonus???

[brisk trail]

moral support

[lean path]

Lol

[brisk trail]

it does nothing afaik

[hushed pumice]

Yes

[tacit ember]

no back how?

[lone sinew]

some enemies like in styx the green enemies with lasers

or the small ones that throw boms

[tacit ember]

game: heres an aribus gate
also game: haha u need 1 more heat to go in

[lone sinew]

haha true

[tacit ember]

i hate thous little bomb guys in tartarus

when ur doing one of thous chest tings

one guy is in the corner

i got 1% move speed from bouldy

👌

[proper rock]

Just discovered this game played for 3 hours already. Really hoping that this game will be getting updates and not just die out after a little bit of hype

[tacit ember]

its not dead yet at least

wow hermys is a peace of crap

[green jungle]

Hopefully it being showed on the game awards built more traction for it

[tacit ember]

i got your special is faster

and gess what

im usign aspect of chaos

only the real shild is faster

not the extre ones you shoot

i feel skamed

[languid plover]

whoops

[raw harbor]

hey guys!

[brisk trail]

[timid grove]

what is heroic for a rarity?

is it above legendary?

[raw harbor]

i think so

[opaque nexus]

Not exactly

They are different

[vale kite]

heroic is above epic

legendary is its own thing

[brisk trail]

ye

[opaque nexus]

Heroics are basically just above epic. All boons that have rarities and aren’t a one time use (rare crop, sunken treasure) can be taken to epic, either by a good offering a trade for an epic boon, using the ambrosia delight in the asphodel NPC room, etc.

Legendaries are completely unique, and require prerequisites

[timid grove]

ok ty

i could sometimes swap a epic for heroic

i wasnt quite sure what to do

[opaque nexus]

Rarity doesn’t matter all that much

[languid plover]

Only 2 ways getting Heroic is quality by replacing Epic or Demeter's Rare Crop right?

[brisk trail]

Eurydice

[opaque nexus]

Yeah forgot her name

[languid plover]

Eurydice 1st only? 3rd option can't?

[timid grove]

ty guy

guys*

[brisk trail]

i know nectar increases chances for legend/duo, idk about heroic

[languid plover]

Does rarity only affect base damage or the scaling from poom too?

[frigid abyss]

related: is there a reason to take eurydice's boon upgrade instead of the leveling one? is there a difference between an additional level and a, say, rare vs epic boon?

[opaque nexus]

Levels are usually preferred

Unless you have less than 4 pommable boons and something you really want at a higher rarity like extra dashes

[languid plover]

Level for really focused build.

[frigid abyss]

i see, that's what i thought

[opaque nexus]

If you want to cheese it I think you can take the rarity, then quit out if you don’t like it, then pick the poms

[frigid abyss]

lmao

fair enough

[languid plover]

I rarely take 1st option. 3rd option enable cool stuff like if you expect Epic quality of Rare Crop, Hermes gold gain or anything great which can't be leveled up by Pom

[frigid abyss]

yeah tbh i usually pick the levels

but ive been doing a lot of crit builds lately

[languid plover]

Epic Quality of Hermes Attack or Special speed for example. In this case quality matters a lot

[opaque nexus]

Second option is the most consistent

But I would be lying if I said that the temptation of rarity hitting the exact boon I want hasn’t gotten to me

[frigid abyss]

oh same

also sometimes i have like 2 boons lol

[opaque nexus]

10% of the time, it works every time

[tired sundial]

I like those odds

[tacit ember]

ahha i finaly got it

the coin in the scull

its suposed to be for charon

[runic agate]

I love eurydice's first option it's nice to the that heroic boon you wanted

[tacit ember]

how do you learn to play the lire

[brisk trail]

make bad sounds until you make good sounds

just like learning an instrument irl

[tacit ember]

bruh

do i just spam interact

[brisk trail]

yes

[lone sinew]

you can just play everytime you pass from your room if you do something else in your ream when you leave play again and then continue playing the game it shall happen eventually

[slim grail]

does anyone keep dying to an easy boss like lernie after you completed the 10 runs? i am suddenly getting suckier... wtf

kinda frustrated with myself

and i died to 1st boss too after the 10 runs nowadays

[summer ibex]

omg I love using stygius(with the hidden aspect), the spike collar keepsake, and with the life steal upgrade from the hammer.

its so good

because the health penalty is not as bad

[weary widget]

Lernie has a huge variance in difficulty. Ram head is tough, magma head is easy.

[cursive halo]

Ram head is like

I've had enough of your deflects

[vapid narwhal]

EM2 ram head is kinda annoying

[waxen juniper]

Lernie can be a pain at times

[winter harbor]

EM2 magma head is hard

I do like it when Eurydice upgrades one of your boons to heroic and you get exclusive access shortly afterwards

[kind zenith]

how are you supposed to use zeus shield

i feel like the only time im using it properly is when i have someone cornered

otherwise it jsut seems to fly off somewhere

[quaint hatch]

Either spam special or kite it

If you call it back and keep dashing it'll follow you

[kind zenith]

alright

[void ginkgo]

Do you have to max out the hidden aspect of spear to be any good? I just seem weak with it

[quaint hatch]

It's very powerful but the trade off is big ofc

You should max it

The -70% at lv1 is just way to gruesome

[slim grail]

if i have athena boons, that lernie with that purple arrow attacks will be useless

[distant night]

lvl 4 is also decent but lvl 1 really is too hard even if ||serpent slash|| is supposed to heal you

[quaint hatch]

Imagine relying on spin

[distant night]

kinda gotta do that with lvl 1 hidden spear😔

[quaint hatch]

Imagine playing lvl 1 hidden spear

Am I getting repetitive yet?

[distant night]

well as newcomer to the game and it beign the first hidden you get access to....

[quaint hatch]

Imo that was def the wrong secret aspect to force first

It kind of shines a "bad light" on the upcoming ones
Since most people dislike it when first playing it

[distant night]

yeah but it also makes sense since achilles is the one who taught you to fight so him getting the first hidden to unlock is wise

at least it kinda prepares you to hidden fists and shield

[quaint hatch]

Ur right sincr hades is a visual novel first and foremost

[distant night]

exactly my bouldy lad

[quaint hatch]

Lol every hidden aspect is kinda slow but powerful

Except dash strike ||arthur||

[distant night]

except gun

[quaint hatch]

Have you fired the attack?

[distant night]

hidden gun is fast but very meh

[smoky shell]

Idk gun is still slow but powerful vibes

[quaint hatch]

Powerful vibes but meme

[distant night]

^

[quaint hatch]

Well I like bomb builds with it

They're fun

[distant night]

yes

||just putting them all around the map and then detonating them all with one good attack is fun||

[quaint hatch]

||Chain explosion be hella satisfying||

[distant night]

very

just to be safe ima just spoiler the heck out of everything lol

[quaint hatch]

More than fair

I already got triple bomb
I'm wondering on what else is decent

[distant night]

i remember too well coming in here not knowing about hidden sword being good and getting the life spoiled out of it

[quaint hatch]

Ig the special exclusive hammer idk

[distant night]

omg thighs

you lovely person

[quaint hatch]

Hades is actually one of the first games in a long time I didn't spoil myself on

[brisk trail]

i feel that

i always wanna

min max right from the start

[quaint hatch]

Bruh I was like "omg thighs" wtf xD

[brisk trail]

actually, i was looking up builds lmao

[quaint hatch]

That me

[brisk trail]

but i tried not to find anything gameplay/story wise

especially stuff that needs investment

like titan blood

[quaint hatch]

Fortunately I have my coveted build sheet

[smoky shell]

I got like 2 things about the game spoiled but they still hit harder than they should have

[brisk trail]

is it the final boss

[distant night]

the only way i personally spoiled myself is via knowing ||persephone|| exists.
when i booted up the game and started in tartarus i thought those pillars you can destroy there, their faces look kinda female and i thought i'd have to destroy them all to get to her

[brisk trail]

that seems like the biggest spoiler ||although it's kinda obvious||

that's cute lmao

you're just making more work for daedalus

[distant night]

my first hour was spent destroying pillars

tbf you dont know daddy daed is there before the third or fourth run methinks

[smoky shell]

||I got spoiled on persephone coming back and dad not fighting you on that same run||

[brisk trail]

oof, yeah

[distant night]

oh oof

[brisk trail]

i'm glad i found that myself

the ||credits scene felt gud||

[smoky shell]

But I think that's all the spoils I got, and that scene was still really good regardless of me knowing it was coming

[quaint hatch]

I vaguely remember you asking if that does something lil

[distant night]

back then i was horrible with the gun but good with the fists and i wanted one win with every weapon before getting 10 wins but i sucked at gun so hard i decided "eh lets make the last win a fists one" i couldve used it with gun.

[distant night]

i never did lol

i dont ask things here unless they are tech related or about boon builds

[quaint hatch]

Then I'm confusing someone that asked that

[distant night]

probably

[timid grove]

when ||your mother comes back is the story over?||

[distant night]

nope

[quaint hatch]

I'm a Boulder I don't have a memory

[distant night]

there are side stories and an epilogue!

[winter harbor]

I feel like I pretty much lucked into my first gun win

[timid grove]

ah ok ty

[winter harbor]

It was a pretty janky build

[distant night]

which is why you are so good at your job <3

[winter harbor]

But I got the auto revenge duo boon

[brisk trail]

what happens to all the nectar ||you give bouldy||?

what job

[quaint hatch]

Lol thanks I guess

[brisk trail]

you mean giving out ambiguity bonuses?

[winter harbor]

Check your boons

[brisk trail]

i know, but i mean like

in the story sense

[smoky shell]

||Bouldy enjoys it and believes in you||

[quaint hatch]

To quote Skelly: "have you ever heard of the invention of writing stuff down?"

[brisk trail]

is sisy just drinking them himself

[quaint hatch]

Why are you speaking on my behalf?

[smoky shell]

Because I'm right

[brisk trail]

his belief in you only lasts 1 run

[quaint hatch]

when people ask me what my hobbies are, i tell them that I roleplay as a rock in a discord channel

[quaint hatch]

You definetly are

[brisk trail]

i pretend i'm dio's thighs

[quaint hatch]

You are

[distant night]

you absolutely are

all hail Dio's Thighs

[gleaming oak]

||I keep giving Bouldy nectar, despite knowing that Sisyphus was a liar when he was king, and that he’s probably just using bouldy to get all the nectar he wants||

[distant night]

they basically carry every single party

[brisk trail]

my thoughts

exactly

[quaint hatch]

But sysiphus is a good guy now

[gleaming oak]

RIGHT

NO

[frigid abyss]

just got real close on fists 😩

[distant night]

tbf tho bouldy does give you boons

[brisk trail]

or is he

[quaint hatch]

Thanks for feeding my addiction

[gleaming oak]

HE STILL GOT THEM HABITS

[brisk trail]

the best i've ever gotten is a 5% damage increase

[gleaming oak]

HE GOT THEM HABITS BRO

[brisk trail]

that probably carried my first 32

[distant night]

8% more obols are sexy too

[quaint hatch]

I should know sisy better then you

[brisk trail]

you can get 8?

[quaint hatch]

I spent eternity with him

[brisk trail]

what's the highest percentage?

[gleaming oak]

true

[quaint hatch]

Ambiguity bonus is the only worthwhile one

[gleaming oak]

What can you tell us about sisy

[quaint hatch]

Highest I got is either 8 or 9 %

He's very timid

[gleaming oak]

That he’s a LIAR

[distant night]

;-;

[gleaming oak]

He was literally king once I refuse to believe this

[distant night]

are you saying people cant change

[quaint hatch]

I dunno dude

[gleaming oak]

yes

not completely

[quaint hatch]

If you spend like an eternity in hell you have time to ponder

[gleaming oak]

I’m boutta dial up the devs

Jk

[quaint hatch]

Also If you keep slandering him we're gonna have a problem

[gleaming oak]

[quaint hatch]

My dad works at supergiant

[distant night]

well then you are a liar and a thief probably too cause you definitively lied to your parents about something when oyu were a child and definitively stole one more cookie from the cookie jar as a kid too

since people cant change :)

[quaint hatch]

Got em

[gleaming oak]

oh hell yeah I did

[distant night]

he has been in tartarus for eons

[quaint hatch]

That's that teacher clap back

[gleaming oak]

Maybe you’re the one making this nsfw

[quaint hatch]

That me

[distant night]

[quaint hatch]

Now I'm just like "eh, reroll"

Oof dusa is so cute

[distant night]

you actually get it when not being forced to get it from the prophecy?

what kind of bouldery witchcraft

[quaint hatch]

[gleaming oak]

Me: I love Dusa!

[quaint hatch]

I give their soul a good rub

[brisk trail]

yup

[gleaming oak]

THATS WORSE

[quaint hatch]

Metaphorically speaking

[distant night]

tbf that gives them invincibility and youth for life; since their kids with mortals are... mortal

[quaint hatch]

Ew moral

[gleaming oak]

Southerners do be takin notes rn

Or they have taken notes

[distant night]

NO

I MISSED ONE LETTER

[brisk trail]

[quaint hatch]

Maybe they're just trying to achieve immortality in alabama

[gleaming oak]

Sweeet hooooome-

[quaint hatch]

I was trying to play hades
But now I'm on pause in tartarus and writing

[gleaming oak]

plorts for the plort gooooddddd

[distant night]

plorts for the plort gods

[brisk trail]

i play hades and then take study breaks in-between

[quaint hatch]

Everytime I play hades I jump on here
That's why I need like 2 hrs for a run in real time

[brisk trail]

surely it shouldn't be the other way around

[gleaming oak]

The hades discord is a joy and I’m glad I found it through Haelian on YouTube

[quaint hatch]

I just don't

[distant night]

Sacr bleu

oiseaux

[gleaming oak]

Birds

Nique ta mère

Sry

[brisk trail]

[quaint hatch]

I meant baguette

[lone sinew]

[gleaming oak]

THEY ARENT REAL

birds aren’t REAL

[distant night]

[brisk trail]

[distant night]

[lone sinew]

hahaah what is even happening anymore

[brisk trail]

hades is very nice game

[manic bobcat]

I want to know where Zag puts his fishes

[lone sinew]

tru

[brisk trail]

i would like to invite you all to play it

[quaint hatch]

I have a question about the game

Hades?

[brisk trail]

yes, what is it

[lone sinew]

no Zeus

[brisk trail]

i am a seasoned veteran

i killed a numbskull in tartarus once

not many live to tell the tale

[manic bobcat]

I'm a seasoned vegetable

Ask away

[waxen juniper]

Never heard of it

[quaint hatch]

Ok that was actually good

[distant night]

probably kills them so they get instantly teleported to the chef

since he is the god of rebirth

[quaint hatch]

I carrot believe that joke

[manic bobcat]

Objection

[lone sinew]

the people that made greek mythology are looking at us while facepalming

[brisk trail]

donut

[distant night]

well today is your lucky day

[waxen juniper]

Please, do tell Artemis Cat.

[distant night]

oh goddess, what is it

[manic bobcat]

Why does he jeed to visit the chef after each run if he can teleports the fishes

[brisk trail]

he's picking up da dishes

idk

goodb ye

uni cost me all of my brain cells

pls play hades it's a good game

[manic bobcat]

It's an okish game.

[distant night]

to pick up the rewards cause the chef doesnt suck

[lone sinew]

I recommend Hades its gud

[quaint hatch]

It's a game
You can play it

10/10

[lone sinew]

they revealed you can move in that game!!

(except you bouldy)

[distant night]

the game is a visual novel with house decoration; ah and also it has a rogue-lite dungeon minigame

12/10

[floral sun]

Is there a place where I can report a bug?

[distant night]

#h1-tech-support

[lone sinew]

the minigame is not so fun actually but the rest is perfect

[manic bobcat]

F10 in game if on PC, otherwise #h1-tech-support if on Switch

[distant night]

the minigame is pain but you can really feel your gamerhands get gud

[manic bobcat]

Hades has a Dash

Dash is good

One of thr best thing about the game

[lone sinew]

A DASH?

this game is hype

[manic bobcat]

Yeah, but also for real

The Dash feels good

[lone sinew]

movement overall

[manic bobcat]

Makes the combat much more fluid

Compare that to say Isaac where the wonky physics makes you rage.

(I love Isaac, but still)

[lone sinew]

yup me too I have many hours in Isaac

Hades is superior by Isaac in many thing

but imo what Hades does so much better than Isaac is rng

[distant night]

is isaac considered rogue-like or lite

[quaint hatch]

Wait isaac has physics?

Rogue like

[distant night]

thx

[quaint hatch]

You don't have meta progression I'm the sense that it necessarily makes you stronger

You just unlock more

[lone sinew]

it's considered a Roguelike but you could say it's a roguelite

[quaint hatch]

Not

[lone sinew]

depends on how you see it

[quaint hatch]

No you couldn't

[lone sinew]

why?

[quaint hatch]

Roguelites are built on meta progression
Meaning your not meant to beat it on your first try since you make yourself stronger overtime

In isaac you just unlock more options

[lone sinew]

what??

[quaint hatch]

Which you can randomly pick up

[manic bobcat]

By physics I mean movement, projectiles trajectory, unit collision, etc.

[quaint hatch]

Or characters you can choose

[lone sinew]

do you know what makes a roguelike and what a roguelite?

[quaint hatch]

Lol I'm joking m8

Bruh I just described it

[manic bobcat]

Oh sorry

[distant night]

sarcasm is sexy

[quaint hatch]

Thanks

[distant night]

😂

[manic bobcat]

I took it at face value xD

[distant night]

ima just leave this convo

[distant night]

yeah same with me when you asked about tlou2 m8

[manic bobcat]

Yeah true

[quaint hatch]

That's what she said

[lone sinew]

there are 8 characteristics in roguelikes 2 of them are on both roguelites and rogulikes perma death and random generated rooms. If a game misses even 1 out of the rest it's a roguelite.

[quaint hatch]

Yeah and I already said
Meta progression etc

[manic bobcat]

https://m.imgur.com/r/roguelikes/ZLDp5rU

[quaint hatch]

Bless you

[manic bobcat]

I generally agree with this

[brisk trail]

do you enjoy nethack?

[quaint hatch]

Ich mag hack

[distant night]

o-o

[brisk trail]

moin

[distant night]

moin meister

[manic bobcat]

Hades is probably Mechanically Neutral and Aesthetically Radical

[brisk trail]

the only german word i know from german friends

moin moin

sounds right from the chart

[distant night]

wait this is not a roguelike vs roguelite chart awh man

ohh gavin is playing hades

may the gods be in your favor

[lone sinew]

uhm idk what that exaclty means im confused I jsut know that roguelites (are roguelikes) that changed some of the genre's chacteristics so the genre evolves and becomes better

[quaint hatch]

Hey uhm
Have you ever heard of
Like
Jokes?

[lone sinew]

yeah I understanded the joke but my passion took over me :((

[quaint hatch]

calm

[lone sinew]

I respect you Bouldy you always seem calm

sometimes I think you never change expression

[opaque nexus]

I'm trying to get the speedrun world record for zagreus shield

[lone sinew]

Good luck with what!

[opaque nexus]

it's 7:57, which is difficult but I really just need a god tier elysium

[quaint hatch]

Do it

[lone sinew]

You can do it! as many tries as it takes

[opaque nexus]

I've been grinding it

[pale steeple]

Hades is the true GotY change my mind

[opaque nexus]

a lot of it is luck

[lone sinew]

no one can change your mind

[opaque nexus]

just gotta play over and over until the stars align

[lone sinew]

we all agree

[pale steeple]

Hades is definitely the highlight of the year (video game wise at least) lol

[manic bobcat]

Hades good TLOU2 bad upvote to the left.

[pale steeple]

I love the gameplay with all the possibilities and replay value and the characters that Zagreus meets along the way

[gleaming oak]

Hades is a top tier game

For me it’s up there with RDR2 and Zelda BOTW

[pale steeple]

TLoU2 won because it was the only game that game journalists could beat lol, the rest of the games, Animal Crossing to Hades to DOOM were the Dark Souls of their genres

[lone sinew]

maybe it seems unfair but believe for its genre it reached rly far it's more important thana game like the last of us taking game of the year

[winter harbor]

They could’ve just turned on god mode

[pale steeple]

Game Awards were a joke

[winter harbor]

I think there’s an article specifically on kotaku that mentions hades god mode

[distant night]

thats why we only look to polygon

[lone sinew]

only the fact that it reached so far is so important for the community of these games

and for the developers ofc anyone that spends time in them and loves them

[gleaming oak]

Game awards were a total joke

[pale steeple]

Best parts were Sephiroth and The Airship

[gleaming oak]

Hades not winning art direction made me spit out my drink

[manic bobcat]

I knew someone will inevitably call Hades the Souls game of roguelites lol

[gleaming oak]

Cause that’s like

[distant night]

i miss watching real game awards

[gleaming oak]

60% of it

[brisk trail]

and the ark preview lmaooo

[distant night]

or best music score

a flipping remake got that

[winter harbor]

I think FTL is way harder

[gleaming oak]

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ARK 2

[lone sinew]

lol I died from laughter in ARK

[distant night]

😂

[gleaming oak]

ark 2 was an abomination

[pale steeple]

I’ve played Dark Souls, I’m stuck in...Undeadburg iirc is the name? It’s the first level outside the asylum

[carmine ravine]

ark 2 is a parody

[distant night]

vin diesel oonga boonga can do tech oonga

[brisk trail]

it's an anime

[gleaming oak]

Ark 2 is a parody of Avatar

Look at the floating mountains at the end of the teaser like

[lone sinew]

Ark 3 is gonna be the rock or something?

[brisk trail]

[manic bobcat]

Do you know what isn't a parody though?

[gleaming oak]

IOPS

they copped the floating mountains

[pale steeple]

And I’ve never played a game as hard as Dark Souls, and I’ve played (not beaten lol) and a ton of other hard games

[lone sinew]

I was kinda hyped for riot's rpg game too since I like their cardgame. It was such a letdown

[quaint hatch]

Bruh

Idk what you've been playing

But runeterra is sick

[lone sinew]

I KNOW

[quaint hatch]

Oh sry I can't read

[lone sinew]

oh I see

[gleaming oak]

I almost threw my phone when I saw the floating mountains at the end of the ark 2 premiere

[quaint hatch]

I thought "it was such a letdown" referred to lor

Mad sry

[pale steeple]

Best Art Direction:Last of Us 2
Best Esports team:Last of Us 2
Best Action:Last of Us 2

[manic bobcat]

Yeah, it's a great game. Just that difficulty alone isn't something to call a X game the Souls game of Y genre. It's a bit of a hackneyed expression so I tend to avoid it 😄

[lone sinew]

oh lol

[distant night]

best music: a remake

[brisk trail]

Didn't GoT win that?

I think it was well-deserved

[lone sinew]

not it referred was on the ruined king trailer

[gleaming oak]

Avatar is wildly unpopular but it’s my favorite movie and ark 2 was like: hmmm.. yummy stolen conceptszz

[pale steeple]

Any good guides on Dark Souls?

[brisk trail]

git gud

[manic bobcat]

git gud

[distant night]

^

[brisk trail]

gotem

[distant night]

jinx you two beautiful people

[pale steeple]

Lol but how

[distant night]

learn the game

[manic bobcat]

try not to die

[brisk trail]

[manic bobcat]

don't get hit

[lone sinew]

Is hollow knight considered as hard as dark souls or nah?

[distant night]

button SMASH

[distant night]

generally nah?

[pale steeple]

Overall, no, the hardest challenges, I’d say so

[manic bobcat]

You need to be a g*mer

[lone sinew]

lol you guys reminded me of Hypnos with your tips

[manic bobcat]

Which means you need powerful swim swims

If you don't have powerful swim swims, don't even try

[distant night]

STAHP

FOX

NO

😂

[brisk trail]

i wish i was born a gamer baby

[manic bobcat]

YOU CANT STOP ME. IM VIN DIESEL

[opaque nexus]

for the original dark souls:

Step 1: Get Zweihander
Step 2: Win

[distant night]

NOBODY CAN STOP ME NOW

[pale steeple]

Any thoughts for a good starting character for Dark Souls?

[opaque nexus]

doesnt matter

but for zweihander you want the warrior

we should go to #video-games

[pale steeple]

Alright

[manic bobcat]

You can start by trying to ask that in Dark Souls Discord Server, or #video-games

[lone sinew]

I've seen a lot of people compering Hollow knight with dark souls in hardship though ive never played something like dark souls but is popular about its hardship so I couldnt Imagine its as hard (or even less harder like some people said) as hollow knight

[pale steeple]

Is there a server for it?

Can you send the link plz?

[manic bobcat]

yeah just google it

Dark Souls Discord, first result. GL!

[distant night]

HEY GUYS

LISTEN UP

HADES IS GREAT

[manic bobcat]

hot take

[lone sinew]

wait it actually is? I might try it

[manic bobcat]

nah it's really bad. it's a running joke in this server that Hades is good. the entire channel is a big circlejerk

[lone sinew]

I see... too bad now im kinda sad back in playing tetris I guess

[distant night]

i cant

fox you are a legend

[quaint hatch]

Yeah actually we all think the game is doo doo

[distant night]

i may have developed pecs form laughing at this channel being abused and comign back to a cirlejerk for the game

[quaint hatch]

You'll eventually recognize certain patterns

[lone sinew]

So I was not the only one? I was scared to say it's bad so they don't hate on me

[distant night]

how arent we all banned yet from talking in this channel

[quaint hatch]

Clearly uninitiated

[distant night]

oh brother come on

[winter harbor]

Tetris 99 is the best battle royale, cmv

[manic bobcat]

Because SGG isn't authoritative

[quaint hatch]

Hades is the best battle royale

Bc my dad works at SGG

We protecteted

[distant night]

goddamnit i hate that you have a point

[manic bobcat]

Also this

[winter harbor]

SGG actually has mandatory vacations

No crunch time either, I believe

[distant night]

bouldy is our safety from sgg sugar dad

[manic bobcat]

My uncle works at Ninty SGG and said that you can catch Apollo under the rock in the last biome.

[brisk trail]

mandatory vacations?

[distant night]

a gaming company that finally does right and actually delivers great games you say??? nah fake news probably, cant exist

[brisk trail]

that sounds nice

[distant night]

NINTY

[quaint hatch]

[lone sinew]

idk if its a good game or not but I heard ||Theseus|| is a good guy

[distant night]

what if bouldy sits on apollo but since nobody moves him cause the "emotional support" dlc of zag rolling bouldy up isnt there yet, nobody can confirm or deny it D:

[lone sinew]

everyone loves him

[distant night]

and loves to make fun of him <3

[lone sinew]

and he's so respectful

[quaint hatch]

[lone sinew]

Bouldy can I have my nectar back actually?

I don't even think you can drink it
