I want to learn more about the speedrunning meta in hades II, but it's all buried in a speedrunning discord or scattered throughout endless hours of youtube videos. the landscape is changing and those of us who thrive off of archivable and searchable text must adapt or fade into the aether

Emily Darling @radicaldreamer.bsky.social · 2h

I've said it before and I'll say it again: one of the greatest shortcomings of the younger generations is the shift from message boards to discord for sharing information. discord is not meant to be a technical repository, it's for showing memes to your friends and communicating in video games!!!!

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

I'm polyamorous but for having friends, and since it's non-hierarchical I technically can't call you bestie. sorry about that!

I don't think the ending is *bad*, but it feels way too sudden and unconvincing. it's almost like they planned to have more clears required to advance the story, but had to condense it so the ending would still be accessible to more people or something. idk, I still love the gameplay loop tho

Emily Darling @radicaldreamer.bsky.social · 13h

alright, hades II is an amazing game but there are two things that could make it better:

- they spend more time working on the ending
- they add a hammer & sickle to the sister blades and call it aspect of marx

Emily Darling @radicaldreamer.bsky.social · Mar 18

I hope the hidden aspect of the sister blades in Hades II is a hammer & sickle

As I get into the sexual selection and sexual dimorphism part of my evolution module, a reminder:

In Northern Cardinals, the males are bright red. The females are a brown/gray, with orange beaks.

So if you see two bright red birds snuggling together on wrapping paper or a card: they're gay.

honestly I think I would definitely be a solar girlie. there's just so much potential there and it'd be cool to be a part of that transition

the synergy between bikes and trains isn't talked about or lauded enough. there's nothing like stepping off the train on to the platform, grabbing your bike from the luggage car, and pedaling off into a new city or neighborhood and I hope more people in the US get to experience it

i recently got a great deal on a barely used folding ebike and i have to say it has revolutionized my train travel. i can get from my front door to the amtrak station in a little less than 5 minutes!!!
