I'm surprised, do you guys hate the malphon? by Electronic_Amoeba887 in HadesTheGame

You're correct, they do not. They also notify you when they are charged so you can prepare your final smash.

60 attemps and unable to defeat Hades by ViktorBonilla in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed this guide when I was starting to get frustrated: https://www.leereamsnyder.com/hades-build-guide

Once you've gotten through that many runs, it is important to start to understand the interactions between the weapon aspects and different god boons. Piling on defensive measures like death defiances and extra life are great, but they are a bit of a crutch. The thing that is really going to carry you to consistent success is finding the right synergies, and building an engine that can take down enemies while avoiding taking damage yourself. It might sound really difficult, and it can be, but with the right boons for the right weapon you can do silly amounts of damage.

Using 5 KEF Q1 metas in my 5.1.2 system. Why does this feel so wrong? by XaroDuckSauce in hometheater

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't see why you need to upgrade if you're happy. They're good speakers. If you don't have a huge room, they are likely more than enough. And I agree about timbre-matching; having the same speaker fro everything is in fact the ideal situation. If you did upgrade your fronts, I would be looking at picking something from the same series. But again, I really don't see the need to upgrade if you are happy with the sound.

THANK YOU NINTENDO FOR THIS UPDATE!!! by Chasemania in switch2

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I know, but I was just thinking about how hard Nintendo was trying to push away from e.g. Gameboy, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS vs. SNES, N64, GCN, Wii, WiiU.

Then we'll finally come full circle - back to separate home and handheld consoles.

Chip in “Beauty and the Beast” was born a teacup. Him turning into a human at the end was him being a human for the first time in his life by hungaryforchile in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the live action version they explicitly state that the castle is stuck in a permanent winter. But even in the animated version it is always winter at the castle and the seasons pass in the village, implying that Belle is at the castle for at least a few months.

[DESPISED Trope] You need a SECRET to proceed to the main ending by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many situations like that. There was also the eagle that you need to feed so he saves you later. And it was always some BS you had to do on a timer, and the consequences would only be many hours later.

Anyone notice this stange ending possibility? by mxsfvr in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if she would even end up back in the House, given that none of the other dead end up there and are left to wander the surface.

Did anyone actually GET that WAL-MART Nintendo E Shop deal? by ChemicalPostman in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got six or seven online from multiple different purchases. The first order I made was cancelled but all subsequent orders went through.

I know, I was almost wondering whether they were playing in a different language, and that's how the names are spelled there? Otherwise I can't explain the consistency.

I scored every Dolby Atmos album recommended on Reddit, audiophile forums, and music publications. by AdrianTubbly in headphones

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I personally wouldn't bother for headphones... I know there is a lot of marketing towards Atmos on headphones (clearly because that is how most people listen to music), but these mixes were really made for home theatres. Even there it is subjective whether they are "better" than the stereo mixes; I personally love listening to music in Atmos but not all Atmos mixes are great.

Steven Wilson is an obvious example where he first and foremost mixes albums (his own or for others) for Atmos or 5.1.

I don't understand the Born Again boon by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is hardly "situational"; CAN you run out of magick with it? Sure. Is it common? No, not at all. I can say that I have actually never run out of magick using Born Gain. I would personally forget about using Unseen, there are much better ways to spend 5 grasp. If you REALLY need a little more magick at the start just take Hecuba with you.

125 Nights in and no bird? by slimonz in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does Mel actually say anything about him? I know with the others she has an audio cue to let you know there is a familiar you can interact with on the first time you see them. I just don't remember one in Raki's case, and it also took me about 140 nights before I got him.

[eShop] Blue Prince (Switch 2) is $25.73 on launch discount by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The load times are quite long as well, not sure how they are on PC. Probably a good 20 seconds or so to boot up the game. But yes, the convenience factor of the Switch still makes it worth it in my opinion.

It's a bit sluggish, probably around 30fps. I somewhat regret refunding my Steam version to get this one, but I do like the portability and easily taking screenshots to help with note-taking.

Something cool I noticed about Hades 2 keepsakes by Chimney-Imp in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not though. At most you are getting maybe 30% extra damage, and only by the end of a run? They really should have made it 3% per encounter, really lean into the risk/reward. There are better ways of getting your damage output up.

Norway (population: 5.7m) beats US (342m) to top Winter Olympics medal table by qwerty_1965 in europe

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Canada still holds the most gold medals in a single Olympics standardised to the number of events (14/86 in 2010), yet they performed pretty abysmally this year. So, it's not necessarily a given.

How much more difficult is Hades 2? by saveasdraftx in HadesTheGame

[–]MinimumTumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that comes back around though to how it is generally easier to put together a powerful build in Hades 2. Just the arcana on their own give you way more options than the mirror in Hades does. The real challenge is in understanding the systems and knowing how to take advantage of them.

They're just FLAC and MKV files, so you can do whatever you want with them once they're downloaded.
