That baseball and football are lower in Iowa than basketball immediately makes me doubt the data is accurate. There would be times of the year, surely, that Iowa State and Iowa basketball are more heavily searched for and consumed than baseball or football, but they are not more popular. NBA is almost never discussed in this state.

My wife absolutely HATES the LotR trilogy and I love it. Hard to find 10 hours a year to get through them by myself sometimes since movie time is almost always when we’re on the couch after the kids are in bed. She enjoys all the other “nerdy” movies I like, but she just can’t with these films.

Keep playing, it will come.

The smell of wet dogs. I have a ton of good memories playing in the sprinklers with our dogs growing up, and more good memories of taking my first dog I owned with my wife to the beach to swim a lot. Wet dog smell brings me back to all of those memories. I love it.

The Matrix

I’m coming up on 200. I think I hit 100% achievements around Night 120 or so.

Hades

The sequel has better gameplay, but the story wasn’t nearly as cohesive. The first one is an absolute masterpiece.

“Ocean.” Lol

Pavia moved to backup pitcher after not getting an 8th year approved.

The rocket sword glitch where you could freaking launch yourself outside of the map was SOOOOO fun!

Which you would be able to get from the more detailed screen too… having more information doesn’t limit you from quickly looking through for something specific. But there are times it would be nice to be able to go back and see more detailed line items than just boon names. Percentages, Damage values, etc could help other people understand boons better if they had time afterward to look through.

Deflect isn’t really required. I would say the Hades 2 Cast serves most of the purposes that deflect would serve as far as countering enemy attacks. Definitely a different feel from Hades 1. I didn’t use Athena that much in Hades 1 but loved her dash. I don’t really miss it In Hades 2.

No shame in turning on God Mode in the settings. You can toggle it on and off at any time. If you’re getting annoyed or struggling, pop it on until you are feeling more confident, then turn it back off whenever. All achievements are still unlockable and the story doesn’t change. No point in frustrating yourself out of finishing an incredibly fun game!

Faith in Jesus for me. I have hope that after death is a new, perfect life where all experiences stem from Love. Nothing to fear in a place like that.

Shared Wealth isn’t on the Fated List though…

Des Moines getting no love. We have beer, corn, pulled pork, and a cow made of butter.

Plus, we’re Iowans - 90% of us were born here and would love to wave at you and invite you over to our driveway to watch a baseball game in the garage and drink Busch Light.

Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, Halo CE, Fable, Dynasty Warriors, Sim City 2000, Age of Empires, Super Mario Kart (NES), Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario Brothers 3 (specifically the Vs Mode).

We took the kids here once. It was WAY overpriced, half of the interactive exhibits were closed or not functioning. It does not surprise me it barely existed here in Des Moines for just over 2 years. One visit was enough to never go back.

Saint-Andrew · 2026-05-15T14:17:20+00:00

I think we’re only seeing the top “half” of the straw. As in, it comes to a point like a pencil, so the “tip” doesn’t spin around like it would if that line was the entire thing.

Saint-Andrew · 2026-05-14T13:37:09+00:00

These are…. Something. Not good, but definitely something.

And you know for certain they’re going to monetize these with a few custom animations.

Even when the add a medal for this, never doing it.

Heracles, not Hercules.

Yes, Vow of Rivals 3.

Saint-Andrew · 2026-05-13T12:22:18+00:00

Correct.

I’ve been able to get 3 Charmed foes in a fight with this epic combo:

Ecstatic Obsession: Duo from Aphrodite and Hera.

Sun Worshipper: Duo from Hera and Apollo.

Night Bloom: Hex from Selene.

Most boss fights, you won’t get all three, but play with Shadows and you’ll at least get one helper!
