I’ve been winding down my obsession with Hades II (Supergiant Games). I have a few things that are nagging at me, but in general, I’m done. I’m in the middle of reviewing the game, and I have wanted to talk about the story and the characters for quite some time. I did not want to… Continue Reading
I’m back with part two of my official review of Hades II (Supergiant Games). I mentioned in the last post that I hundo chievo’ed the game. I have done everything but one Chaos Trial, and this one–ok. I have to confess. This is called the Great Chaos Above, and it’s a totally random load-out for… Continue Reading
I 100%ed Hades II (Supergiant Games) today. I don’t know how to feel about it because, well, I’ll get into it as I give my offiycial review of the game. I want to start by saying this is a terrific game. I have to make that exceedingly clear because I’ve been down on it in… Continue Reading
Despite what the title is of this post, I’m actually going to finish the list that I started yesterday of my weapons, easiest to hardest to learn. If I have time and the brain bandwidth, I’ll get back to the Double Fan Form. If I don’t, though, then I won’t and will get back to… Continue Reading
Double Fan Form. It’s so fucking hard. The whole post could just be that, but I’m going to unpack it even further. I was talking about my family history for most of the post because that’s how I roll. I am a strong writer, but I tend to meander all over the place. Why use… Continue Reading
I am back to talk more about the Double Fan Form. It’s the only form I do every day, though I did not do it for over a month after I got my three shots in one day. I was pleased to be able to pick it up again recently, though I was rusty. There… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about the Double Fan Form because I’m reaching the end of the form. Well, I mean, I have seven postures left to learn, but they are hard. I watched to the end one of the three videos I’m using to teach myself, and damn. Here is the post from yesterday,… Continue Reading
It is a month and a half since I got three shots on the same day. My second shingles shot, my pneumonia vax, and my regular blood work shot that I have to get every year. That was NOT a smart idea, especially as the second shingles shot was notorious for being an extra-impactful one.… Continue Reading
I have subtitled this, “I think I’m done”, but I’m really not. It’s more that I’m dealing with the frustrations that I have while continuing to play the game. I found out what the last incantation I unlocked does. *SPOILERS* It makes it so that you can change the seed of run you’re on when… Continue Reading
I have played a surprising number of games this year (I tend to only play FromSoft games), and there is a theme that sums up how I feel about many of the games. That theme is love-hate. Or, in social media talk, it’s complicated. My relationship with the games, I mean. Those include Clair Obscur:… Continue Reading
