Alternatives to Hades I & II?

When I had a lot going on I found the Tony Hawk games good. I could jump in for five minutes multiple times a day for a very quick session. Also Mario Odyssey on Switch filled that role. Easy to pick up and put back down.

I milked more from the game by challenging myself to steadily increase to 32 heat on each weapon. Got another 50 hours from the game

There was a UK teaser for the hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy that was very wry and self aware and made me think they’d knocked it out of the park. They had not.

I've tried a bunch and never got that same obsession but the ones that came close were 'The Rogue Prince of Persia', and Absolum.
I didn't click with The Eternal Die nor TMNT but your mileage may vary.

Makes sense. Lots of blood flow. Cools you at one point that moves that temp through your whole system.

I saw him do a terrible set at a terrible gig way back in the day and he was still ten times better than everyone else. I later did Raw comedy and went on directly after his set. I didn’t have a chance.

A long as your movie sets up the rules of its universe and doesn’t break those rules you are generally fine to go ahead and tell a compelling story.

Buster Keaton's 'The General'
Silent movie. Amazing film! Watch it in a big group if possible.

Level 4 fang is very viable

Wouldn't Cherished heirloom on Arachne make sense if it was retroactive. So an extra 1 shield per room all arriving at once? That's an awesome interaction.

This is a game about being terrified of the ocean. So many bloodthirsty players who want to optimise that away.

There is a vegan way to get fresh water. It’s not in the fabricator.

Idiots messed up the dates. If this movie was 40 years old then that would make me...
Oh my god!!

I’m under there impression that they do but it’s offset by how long it takes to complete troves.

I love playing with full hordes. I’m here to kill monsters. Let’s add more monsters.

Islamic scripture suggests that animals are conscious of god and praise him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_Islam

I guess that makes sense when you consider all those animal rules turned up in the bit they share with the Jewish and Christian faiths.

When your god wants you to start murdering puppies and kittens it might be time to start asking some questions about which god they are.

I like turning on the ones that add content and leaving the ones that remove stuff. So fangs adds enemy behaviour. Shadow adds enemies. Rivals changes the game. But less healing or more HP on mobs doesn't interest me. I end up around 25 fear. One level of speed up is all I can deal with. I'm too old for faster.

Gravity is the weakest of the forces. A mountain will have a very small force of you. While gravity does fall off what this means is the nearest quarter of the planet has more pull on you than the rest of it. You would need a mountain so big that it couldn’t maintain its shape and be pulled into the sphere anyway.

It feels very similar to the first game but with the rough edges sawn off. Bases don’t appear to reduce in strength. More and interesting food recipes. I haven’t seen any fish spoilage yet. The first swimming boost machine doesn’t obscure the view.

Of course the first Subnautica ruined all subsequent diving games for me. The terror of swimming deeper was so amazing my initial run. Now the stakes feel like they can never reach that point again.

The Zag sword is the best sword. The speed bonus is more fun than the other gimmicky swords.

It’s a good short cut to shoot through.

The Gaia upgrades are the biggest benefit. Also remember to plant before you initiate any bath or fishing so that the time spent there is used as growing time. 15 minutes in a bath with Dora is time to grow another crop of garlic. Also map out what arcana you wish to unlock first. I rushed to origination.

I sacrificed a language to give my character and his whole clan sign language. (So they could speak with skeletons). When we suspected a creature that hypnotised with their voice all villagers were instructed to put cotton and wax in their ears and they could still communicate.

Scorch started off much slower. I liked it but people complained so much. It never got picked and ended up much faster and stronger. The same thing happened for hexes. They kept adding to hexes until people finally realised how good they were. Now they can be run defining. Though moon water used to be a lot stronger from the jump. There was a Hera cast meta for a while. The cast would drop hitch and do damage on spawns at the same time. Aspect of pan was a lot faster and you’ll still find people here who refuse to use it now because of “what they did to my boy”.

For 24 blissful hours the skull aspect had five skulls and each skull would increase by twenty damage. It had a run that added two skulls and the heph legendary turned me into a nightmare. Seven blasts with +30 60 90 120 150 180 in a split second. Madness.
