best part of writing fanfic is “omg it got one (1) kudos, it was all worth it 🥹”

the real reason there are so few cis men in fandom is that they can’t idly think horny thoughts without a boner giving away the game

I DO think it’s quite funny that a criticism I keep seeing is “and the Olympians are such irredeemable assholes!” because lmaooo YEAH dude, that is indeed how the Greek gods are in literally all their myths 😂 the fact that they are ASSHOLES and yet fated to be in charge anyway is…kinda the point lol

#hades2spoilers #hades2ending some people are mad about the writing of the ending of Hades 2, and I agree it feels rushed, especially in comparison to the first game, which did an overall better job of satisfyingly changing motivations. BUT I also did not expect the sequel to beat that ending, so 🤷🏽

for the record, I did like 2 more runs at this area and it was fully an “I understand it now” meme moment. no required speed boost, you just need to telegraph and time the dash-sprint EXACTLY right, and that goes for like every optional mini boss in The Summit. it’s not impossible, just unforgiving.

#Hades2spoilers FUCK DO YOU MEAN THERE’S A WHOLE BRUTAL AREA AFTER PROMETHEUS??? 😭 took me all 4 death defiance just to get through HIM (tbf, it was my second go at it lol). Whoever that mini boss was, he fucked me up the ASS, fucking hell. so you just NEED a couple speed boons to beat Olympus, eh?

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 6d

me: ok I need to take a break from Hades 2 jesus christ

also me, with exactly two sips of beer in my stomach: FUCK IT WE BALL. ONE MORE RUN! ONE MORE RUN!!! *raucous cheering*

I saw a criticism of date everything recently that was something like “it feels like a game made by people who don’t like dating sims, but they REALLY wanted to make the joke,” and THAT…is incredibly fair, yeah. the bit is funny but I’m starting to wonder if it’s enough to sustain another 30 hours.

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 6d

had the game for 10 days, did 55 runs, just finished a gauntlet 5 wins in a row…and got the Hades 2 credits ending. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 godDAMN I remember the first game took me WEEKS to win

see my problem is that I start to get WAY too hard on myself if I am in any way good at a game. like if I lose even one death defiance before Chronos, that is FAILURE oh my GOD what am I even DOING have I even PLAYED BEFORE???

(lol this is why Olympus is so hard, for masochists like me.)

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 8d

#hades2spoilers the cat familiar gives you A WHOLE EXTRA DEATH DEFIANCE??? Just traipsing through the final area with UP TO 5 death defiance???? 😩 can switch out the luckier tooth for some extra damage????? oh baBY

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 8d

#Hades2spoilers they did such a fantastic job just tweaking little things that make the game easier. like just being able to presave 6 different arcana loadouts is INSANELY helpful.

also side note skdhsisnhdidbfg THERE’S A CAT FAMILIAR??? PSPSPSPSPS C’MERE I JUST MADE MORE BEAST PELLETS FOR U

I don’t know! Cerberus is still a little uhhhh not himself lol, but I’m curious now if there’ll be anything written in! I’ll have to take the cat on my next Tartarus run!

#hades2spoilers 😎 beat Typhon on the first try aaawwwww yeeeaaaahhhh. lol almost lost because he has no health bar and I was almost convinced I’d need an incantation to damage him or something.

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 10d

OK so #Hades2spoilers down to Tartarus isn’t too bad, already beat Chronos, we’re gravy to do 10,000 more runs that way.

Up to Olympus is 😮‍💨 an endurance test, tho! And definitely way more dependent on a carefully curated build (RIP if the offerings in Ephyra suck). Not quite got it yet, but I will!

Honourable Goober the Ween || they/them @bleedingtype.bsky.social · 14d

was thinking that the Hades 2 bosses felt weaker because I beat most of them by my second attempt (barring Chronos) and I still haven’t died at the Elysium boss at all…then I realized I’ve been exclusively playing Hades 1 on 20 heat with full extreme measures, and I think maybe I just got kinda gud

drinking an energy drink at 5 pm, surely this will have no adverse consequences 😌 there are exactly 0 past experiences should have taught me better than to drink an energy drink at 5 pm, thank you very much. this is FINE.

WOOF, so I ended up working like 10 straight hours yesterday while also forgetting to eat, so my evening was unfortunately mostly just inhaling sustenance and being half-dead.

But! I creeped and it looked like fun, please do lmk if/when there are more sprint nights, I do want to partake!

I shall do my best! I just had a huge, shitty deadline dropped in my lap, so I do reserve the right to be dead to the world, but if I can still see my computer screen without my eyes blurring, I’ll be there! 💛

Barring any other commitments/work deadlines that pop up, I’m generally free all the times mentioned (I’m in CST)! My schedule is super flexible, so I’m happy to work around you folks.
