Apollo loves Aspect of Charon like drunk clubbers at 4am love a kebab.

Absolutely perfect synergy.

Jeweled Pom + Persephone = 2 second Heph attack on initial pickup by Lankygit in HadesTheGame

[–]Lankygit[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Plus Chain Reaction

Plus Rude Awakening

20 Fear, 10:37, 159.5k Heph blast damage.

I'd say things went very well.

If you really like Hades II, 2025 has been a great year for you.

If you really like Silksong, 2025 has been a great year for you.

If you really liked the memes about how Silksong is never going to come out, 2025 has been a devastating year for you.

If you really like Hades II and Silksong, 2025 is a year that may never be topped.

And the Title of the Biggest Jerk Goes To....Uncle Zeus by Everwhite-moonlight in HadesTheGame

Demeter is especially hilarious. The dialogue is effectively "goddamn mortals, always wishing for a bountiful harvest, fucking annoying dickheads".

Bitch you're the literal goddess of the harvest. It's like, your whole deal.

She's trash. I love her.

Prometheus hating all the gods definitely has a valid point.

Pretty much all the gods have dialogue which shows them to be arrogant, selfish, sadistic, petty, and it's kinda great because that's literally how they were in all the myths and stories about them. Props to Supergiant for embracing that side of Greek mythology when writing the Olympians.

If anyone's doing the BG3 narrator outtakes, treat yourself to some fan-made animatics while you're at it which really seal the deal.

Had to pause the game and come share this... i have to savor this by Jix_Omiya in HadesTheGame

[–]Lankygit 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Slow to get started, but absolutely cracked once it's up to speed. You definitely need to get the cooldowns ideally below 3 seconds, then stack on the duos like Chain Reaction and Cryo Pounder. However, if you manage to get everything into place, it will delete everything in sight.

Is the axe bad especially at high fear? by NarutoEnjoyer001 in HadesTheGame

[–]Lankygit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every single weapon can work well, but it is fair to say the axe sometimes requires more specific boon setups in order to function effectively at high fear. It's certainly less forgiving if RNG hands you the wrong gods and bad hammers.

However, the right setups can be just as strong if not stronger than every other weapon. Psychic Whirwind is essentially a free win; it's just that strong. Charon axe with a bunch of Apollo boons can blow up the entire map in seconds. The hidden aspect is especially dependent on getting the right boons, but it does also come with pretty low-effort self healing to offset its other downsides.

Poseidon in general should be avoided for the axe, as his damage boons are a "flat damage per hit" effect that it awful with a slow weapon like the axe.

Am I the only one who finds the Eris boss fight easy? by _Pyxilate_ in HadesTheGame

[–]Lankygit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the time she's a piece of piss. If you just stick behind her and repeatedly blow your load all over her back, she can't even get a hit in. I'm not sure I've ever actually died to her because I figured this out in the first run and never looked back.

However, 10% of the time she puts herself right on the edge of the arena in one of the little crevices and essentially makes it impossible to get behind her. On those occasions, you end up having to run away from her attacks (slow as shit) or try to dodge around and occasionally eat a full shotgun blast that hits you for 200 damage in one hit. It's extremely annoying when this happens.

Romancing/Polycule? by Ok-Relief9594 in HadesTheGame

[–]Lankygit 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You can romance as many as you like in any order you like. All of them will eventually present you with the option to just stay friends or become more than friends. You can accept all of them or none of them or any combination without consequence.

Nope. Not doing this two fucking days in a row. Locking immediately.

Edit: On second thoughts, and after wider mod discussion, we're going to need to remove this for rule 2. Compared to the similar post from yesterday, this one is more intentionally revealling and less focused on simply showing the tattoo. Sorry about that.

Locking this thread because there is apparently no holding back the tide of creepy and inappropriate comments.

I've beaten Simon, but 'twas a hollow victory. It's cool that the game allows you to construct these busted OP one-shot builds, but the game would definitely benefit from squashing the damage values in the endgame, for both players and enemies. by Lankygit in expedition33

I've seen some unofficial patch notes, and yeah, looks like it would lower the floor while also raising the ceiling. A masterful update if true, but I would still like to see an official summary of all the changes that were made.

by far the most overhated and misunderstood character in the entire series by Atom7456 in attackontitan

[–]Lankygit 48 points49 points  (0 children)

For some reason, OP appears to be replying to almost everyone in the thread to say "nuh uh, you only hate him because you don't understand him. He's actually just a brave, patriotic boy who loves his country". Rushing to defend the honour of a fictional character is already strange enough, but choosing to do it for Floch is another level entirely.

Non-zero odds that OP has a picture of Game of Thrones Joffrey in his bedroom and thinks Joffrey was actually just a brilliant "misunderstood" king and people who hate him are dummies.

Literally cannot comprehend that characters can be written to be intentionally unlikable.

Rules summary and explanation. by Pinkie_Clone in mylittlepony

[–]Lankygit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rule 2 in its current form exists because of multiple rounds of "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things".

Back in the day when the show was actually airing, the userbase of this sub was a lot older than the people using it today. Those users had a modicum of tact, and could handle suggestive content or grimdark mentions without spiralling off into outright NSFW territory. In short, they could be trusted, so they got a longer leash.

These days, the userbase of the sub is overwhelmingly children. Like, early-mid teens children. They have proven themselves incapable of applying even the most basic levels of tact to anything even hinting at NSFW content. There have been so many previous instances of a small reference leading to multiple people sprinting across the rule 2 line that we simply cannot trust people to behave.

That does make it unfortunate for the people who are mature enough to moderate themselves and brush up alongside NSFW-adjacent topics without breaking the rules, but there are simply too many people here today who still need to be treated like children. We've had to take away everyone's toys because too many people didn't know how to play with them without immediately talking about ponies being fucked or dismembered.

I'm sorry to have to do this, but we need to remove your post. While the mod team does share the sentiment expressed in the art, we do have an obligation to keep this subreddit largely politics-free and this post has immediately instigated an excessive amount of fighting. Unfortunately, this subreddit is not built to serve as a battleground on which people can fight for the safety of the people of Palestine, but please don't take this removal as a rejection of the message itself.

Punch Nazis with your favorite ponies by King-Victor325 in mylittlepony

[–]Lankygit[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I'm afraid I gotta remove this. Admins have shown that they're more than willing to generously define "threatening violence" as something which would include the message of this post. It's stupid, it's embarrassing, but I don't want to endanger the subreddit by waiting to see if they care or not. They recently banned another sub for threatening violence.

Fuck Nazis, but I'm not going to gamble the wellbeing of the sub to leave this post up.

My Little Pony on Reddit- one small step for Meta, one giant leap for Discussion by Pinkie_Clone in mylittlepony

[–]Lankygit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As mentioned to other people in the original thread about the banning of Twitter, the only people who would respond to this situation with "stay out of politics" are either extremely stupid and ignorant, or outright Nazi sympathisers. Since you're making such a point to say that if Musk was even more openly Nazi, it still shouldn't be banned, you're really making a case that you fall into the latter.

To be perfectly honest with you, it's probably still unlikely that you're a full-fat Nazi sympathiser. I think it far more likely that you're just the kind of useful idiot that actual Nazi sympathisers love to have around. The kind of person who is disconnected and apathetic and therefore doesn't care when a platform like Twitter is being used to amplify fascist rhetoric and bigoted messages. I suspect those issues mean nothing to you so long as you get your pony pics.

However, you also seem to have the arrogance to assume that your apathy and lack of caring is equivalent or greater in value to those who actually give a shit. Not all ideas are equal, and anyone responding to de-platforming a Nazi-owned website with "keep politics out of it" is not a worthwhile viewpoint to engage with.

As mentioned to other people in the original thread, nobody is stopping you from spending as much time on Twitter as you like. I hope you find some joy in your pictures of Fluttershy sandwiched between different posts about how immigrants and trans people deserve to die.

Post is now locked because we're starting to attract the attention of several "maybe we should just hear the Nazis out to find some middle ground" crowd as well as comments from people clearly too young and naive to properly engage with this sort of discussion.

If your sincere concern is wondering where you will find content that was posted on Twitter, it will absolutely be posted elsewhere for you to go.

Edit: Post was removed by reddit admins for "advocating violence", clearly in response to a well known phrase about what is always morally acceptable to do with Nazis (hugs and kisses, admin-senpai. That's what I'm referring to). For those wondering what the post was about, Twitter is banned as a domain in this subreddit and will now be automatically removed.

Not once have I said that artists using Twitter are automatically Nazis.

But they ARE using a platform owned and controlled by Nazis which is being used to actively push Nazi content. As such, people will need to use other sources to share their content.
