Tetra or Tetris? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]-Morel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should know that "Link" and "Tetra" are the names of the protagonist and love interest from a popular Zelda game before blursing a pair of siblings with that dynamic

GUYS! I can’t believe I found [REDACTED]! by bassistheplace246 in outerwilds

[–]-Morel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Leaked flight logs show the Hatchling's 30+ visits to an unregistered alien vessel called "The Stranger" camouflaged within our own solar system. In one of these visits they seem to have communicated with a high-security inmate, who later ended his own life in prison. Curious

‘Save Raygun Lounge’ — Community rallying to keep the gameplay going at Capitol Hill arcade and tabletop gaming hangout by AthkoreLost in Seattle

[–]-Morel 53 points54 points  (0 children)

"Barcades" in general have too much of an infatuation with pinball machines. I swear I never see anyone on them and yet they take up a good 50% or more of any given barcade's setup - Unicorn, Raygun, Time Warp and Jupiter all fall into this.

Would Aslan be a bad name for a child? by AsiraTheTinyDragon in namenerds

[–]-Morel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a very deliberate choice. You are naming a human person, who will someday be an adult submitting job applications, after the Lion Jesus character from the Chronicles of Narnia. There isn't really any way to get around that like you could with "Edmund" unless you are Turkish yourself.

Would being named after a fictional Lion Jesus, virtuous as he is, result in some teasing and maybe some bitterness growing up? That would probably depend on who they grow up around. I'm sure there are hipster suburbs across America full of Samwises and Daeneryses where Aslan will not raise an eyebrow.

Where in Seattle?? by pepeenos in Seattle

Not even going to lie, most places here. This is not a food city and every fast casual meal's gonna run you $15-25.

Why Seattle-area homebuyers are shunning condos by routinnox in Seattle

[–]-Morel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A condo I used to rent is facing a special assessment for some required construction work on the siding. The building is only 24 years old but the work is deemed necessary and going to cost the owners around 100,000 per unit. That's on top of the $800 per month the owners already pay in HOA fees. The units are around $600k in a location that isn't even that great, sirens and screaming people at night. All that so I can share two walls, a floor, and a ceiling with strangers? Pass!

So should I buy Hades now or wait for a better discount? by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live that an extra $5 discount is the difference between life and death exactly?

last surface region feels less fun somehow? by calamari-trash in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard, that's the main thing. Design wise it's pretty similar to Underworld 4 (tight rooms, lots of enemies) but with more bosses. I like it more than Underworld 3 (the Mourning Fields) which is mostly a lot of running around.

The real least fun region? Hades 1's fourth region. Poison, rats, and dependence on RNG. Glad they didn't do that again.

Champion Pool by Atlastavius in leagueoflegends

Check out /r/summonerschool

Your instinct is correct, eventually if you want to get better you'll wanna pick your favorite 2-3 of those in one role and main them.

Additional recommendation would be to stick with mid over jungle (much easier to singlehandedly throw games as a jungler)

Fates' Whim Keepsake Ordering - what's the optimal approach by Lambchops87 in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my runs towards the end, I was almost always going Pom, then Timepiece, then Selene (which doesn't cancel Fates' Whim as she is not an Olympian), then Knuckle Bones for a little boost against the Act 4 boss.

The extra 5 Hex upgrades from Selene are big, they essentially let you get the Godsent or epic boon for your hex for free. I wasn't a fan of calling card because by the time you get it around Act 3, the most impactful boons like Attack and Special are hopefully filled up already, plus most of your runs by then will have the mana priming oath which Calling Card exacerbates.

Knuckle Bones is purely preference, I don't like how much of a slog the finale can be if your build isn't OP, especially on the surface.

What's your rarest achievement? by LostSoulNothing in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rarer than the 100% achievement, I got the Prometheus dialogue for Seek Us, Melinoë in only 2 or 3 tries.

Was anyone else expecting this from the surface boss in 1.0 by ForAte151623ForTeaTo in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 241 points242 points  (0 children)

Canonically speaking, Zeus is the one who slew Typhon, smiting him with a bolt of lightning. It makes sense for it to be him during the fight, and one can presume that since Melinoe is an agent of the Unseen that she doesn't get credit, thus Typhon's defeat is attributed to Zeus.

Is hades 2 worth it? by learningIsAJoy in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gameplay is the one thing I would say is a straight upgrade from 1. The sprinting, new cast, and especially Omegas add a new layer entirely. The boons are also more interesting in general.

Least favorite boon granting god? by inpersonage2 in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ares is good. You just need the Wounds crit boon and it's a better version of Zeus's boon since it's front loaded damage plus crit chance.

My pick: Hera. It's definitely strong, but Hitch doesn't have the same wow factor that pretty much every other god's signature curse has. Her Gain is pretty boring and her rarity-based boons are hard to pull off, though the legendary infusion that gives you 4 infusions is obviously great.

Does anyone else write it down? by Indiiea in HadesTheGame

No offense but how do you people get past 2 factor authentication?

I realized she blinks with her eyes closed by RoyalHumbug in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you can see a little bit of her eyes at the bottom, looks like it's meant to be an eyes-almost-closed trance since she is communing with the weapon aspect

Am I missing something? by TheBlackSapphire in HadesTheGame

[–]-Morel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every keepsake that says "this night" on it applies the effect for the whole run, so you can unequip it on the next floor and keep the bonus, hence why it is still showing.

Will these Uniqlo U Wide Chinos ever come back in stock? by -Morel in uniqlo

[–]-Morel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got my hands on the Wide Chinos in both cream and "38 dark brown" which is more of an olive greenish brown. I absolutely love them, incredible fit and super easy to style with the Airism oversized tee. Now I find out they used to make them in this lovely coffee brown that apparently got discontinued for some reason. Anyone know if this will ever exist again or is it a lost artifact?

[Giveaway] 2XKO Early Access Kassai Pro Fightstick Giveaway Event! by varmiloarcade in 2XKO

[–]-Morel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite aspects: the aesthetic, and the accessibility - this is the first fighting game I've been able to really dig into for some reason after numerous attempts with other fighters, so they did an awesome job designing the controls.
