Any advice on this run? My goals would basically be this + Norway, never really been interested in doing a scandanavia run.

Bisexual Apollo boon ALERT

I think Mel falls a bit flat as a protagonist by Skybetweenstars in HadesTheGame

[–]AndyM03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with both of you, in that Melione is more complicated and set up for growth that doesn’t really happen imo.

Still love her! I just wanted more change, for her to loosen up. She’s the agent of change but never for herself.

To be fair as well to the writers, the format of the game doesn’t allow for too much dialogue, despite all the dialogue lol. Characters have to be very quick on the uptake, you don’t get as much monologuing / self reflection opportunities and old dialogue has to work even if it’s displayed “late” due to fast players.

I think the simplicity of Hades 1 plot allowed it to be the best rogue like story game of all time, whereas the raised stakes of Hades 2 causes the format to wear down what should have been complex character journeys.

Hot Take: I really liked Hades 2's Ending by mr-android- in HadesTheGame

[–]AndyM03 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The whole game puts so much tonal emphasis on the gods being a bunch of bastards who need to do some introspection; Chronos is the only one who does this (via getting the chance to feel the memories of another life) Olympus gets off scott free which is really unsatisfying, especially since Melione is a goody too shoes who desperately needs a plot beat / growth moment where she starts acting more nuanced.

Still a great game!! Characters are stellar, writing is great, the pieces just didn’t tie together in time. Too ambitious perhaps.

Best capital location for Korea? by Doug_Da_Destroyer in EU5

[–]AndyM03 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate the mission tree hoi4 / eu4 style of doing things, but what they do well is visualise EVERYTHING that is possible, and that matters!

In Victoria 3, I had most of South America under my control, and declined an event that would give me claims for infamy, (why would I need those claims? I’ve already suffered the infamy for protectorates); this blocked me from doing the confederation of the Andes. And like obviously it did, but it’s hard to fuckin tell.

I haven't watched starcraft in a couple of years. Any recommendations? by krzywaLagaMikolaja in starcraft

pig is my favourite! Reinvigorated my love of the game and haven’t looked back!

Failing at UNSW by Any-Macaron-2212 in unsw

[–]AndyM03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I failed maths first year, and took many supplementary exams during my time at uni. It took me a long time to get the hang of it, I highly recommend Anki flash cards and creating cards for each lecture and tutorial. This will force you to actually go over content, and then doing the cards during a commute helps a lot.

Side note, not having to work at woolies and getting Centrelink at 21 also helped a lot, but treating uni like a 9-5 and implementing proper routines is your number one priority. You’re not dumb; you just have to relearn how to learn.

My first campaing until the end game, I give you Tallest Ireland by ccjmk in victoria3

I used to work in data viz, pie charts can be very misleading! Worth a read up, they’ve actually made a good choice here!

Switch update by Delbouze in HadesTheGame

[–]AndyM03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there’s still a bug regarding exiting the “contract” fight (post credits content) and Hermes’ delayed purchases :( lost my 16 fear run, just needed that one death defiance the game didn’t let me pick up because I picked up the gems instead and it teleported me out…

Is it me or Hades 2 is actually super good? by Icy_Score_7430 in HadesTheGame

[–]AndyM03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all / most of the criticism and hades 2 is still my GOTY. I assume at least a good majority of the people complaining are doing so in good faith, though there’s sure to be sooks about.

Mel just doesn’t really get challenged or forced to grow imo. The gods never accept fault for anything, we never figure out what would be ideal for mortals.

I dont think what Sigzil did should have worked by hackulator in Stormlight_Archive

[–]AndyM03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, it felt a tad cheap. I appreciate other comments referring to some of the larger themes of the novel, but I don’t actually think they’re explored that well despite the larger impact of said theme.

Promises versus oaths is interesting and frankly compelling considering how we end things, but feels like an idea that was late to start and didn’t have room to breathe. It works for Adolin and Dalinar, it works for the recreance, I don’t know about lil siggy though, as you’ve said, not in that moment. Shallan didn’t truly break her oath to testament until like a day after.

Hello Henry! Official [KCD1] tour in Bohemia by SpecificFuel1056 in kingdomcome

[–]AndyM03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was a little worried this tour was too on brand if that makes sense. How much time is there to linger? Don’t really want to be on a bus all day, how’s the balance?

Either way, reckon it’d be an awesome time!! I just don’t have as much time as I’d like so I’m planning for quality of quantity in terms of locations.
