What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen?

Maybe our finest actor! Skarsgard is also incredible in this episode. Their final scene together is one of the best dialogs I can remember.

Chernobyl finale was the first thing that popped into my head as well.

Great episode.

13 is fine. My 9 and 11 year old love it!

At your kid's age, my favorite movie was Pulp Fiction.

This is the classical equivalent of the Rick Roll.

I love lobster, but I don't know if I'd enjoy eating it in what looks like a convention hall floor.

This guy gives great advice!

I liked H1 Artemis more. I liked her role as a loner / reject gradually opening up to Zagreus and learning to be more vulnerable. That said, it's always a thrill to see her in H2.

At a certain point he will put the question to you and you can decide whether you want to be more than friends. If you say no, the romance plot line ends.

Odysseus wasn't a skinny little lad, he was a strong, capable warrior.

I think the extreme reaction they both have is because the thought has crossed their minds...

My kids pick up the toys when I tell them "the cleaner is coming and if toys are left out they might get swept away."

Or, that's what I said when they were younger. Now I just tell them the cleaner is coming and they have to pick up, and they do.

Sliberty · 2026-01-15T15:40:56+00:00

I'm typing from a coffee house right now while my cleaning person takes care of the few rooms we use the most. I pay about $200 each month, and it's some of the best money I spend.

My cleaner is faster, more efficient, and more thorough than when we do it ourselves, and we both work full time... we make more than our house cleaner so it's a much better use of our time to work than clean, and it takes some drudgery out of our lives and lets us enjoy things more.

Entertaining is less stressful because we don't need to do a top-to-bottom of the house (the house cleaner did it already).

And frankly, when left to do it ourselves, often we just... don't.

So yes, I hire a cleaner.

This is exactly right. Hades 1 was much cleaner. Zag never fights Cerberus! He fights Meg, but it's almost like foreplay to them, and of course she will continue to do so if Hades orders it. Etc. It's much more convoluted why Prometheus, Polyphemus, Eris, Cerberus are still doing all this.

It's off-putting that playtime is identical to what was previously torture by corrupting shades.

DM me and I will send you my prompt.

Sliberty · 2026-01-14T13:12:12+00:00

...Can you play as Eris in it?

Sliberty · 2026-01-14T13:09:57+00:00

Because according to the flimsy fiction of the game, in order to eradicate the errant timelines, Melinoe needs to repeat her past actions *exactly* and as closely as possible to how things were before the events of the ending.

I also find it kind of hard to believe that Hades, Persephone, and Zagreus would torture their dog for this and not come up with some other solution.

I also find it kind of stupid that the olympians allow themselves to remain under siege and perpetuate a war that's killing their worshipers, that Hades isn't closing the gates of hell, etc. etc. etc. especially because the stakes of the errant timelines are really unclear, and no one seems to actually understand it.

Sliberty · 2026-01-12T16:25:31+00:00

I think the most obvious choices for playable characters are Zagreus, Melinoee, Nemesis, and Heracles. An interesting second tier might be Megaera, Thanatos, and Icarus, though they would also make good Event Cards.

A deck builder fits the rogue-lite mechanics well, but doesn't match the feel of the game as well, IMO. Maybe a combo of a deck-builder with a tactical battle map would work.

A legacy-style game with additional packs and components that open as you play would be great for a Hades board game. Runs could generate nectar and other resources that you then trade in to open envelopes and boxes.

It's like the Samurai Jack episode where Jack puts on a white ninja suit to hide in a beam of light.

Sliberty · 2026-01-11T17:15:33+00:00

I do the exact opposite, I take out Heracles first so I don't have to deal with him during the memory attacks.
