Ok haha y'all can stop sending me pics of Nemesis I know ok "haha rich likes dark haired mean video game women look rich haha" I GET IT OK

God its been such a long time since I was really excited for a game and it absolutely delivered but Hades 2 is a god damn masterpiece

God I hate Eris she took my fucking gun

One thing I adore about Hades is the premise is people can change seemingly unchangeable things about their surroundings by being kind everyone has accepted their fate at the beginning and it's because zagreus and now melinoe care so much that they can see a better future for themselves

Hades and all supergiant games realy have music that clearly comes from a rock background instead of classical or jazz like a lot of video game music like my understanding is Darren Korb played in rock bands before and that's why it slaps so fucking hard

I nearly beat chronos on my first try which makes me think that he's easier than he was in EA because I heard some things

My work has decided our consistent schedule (which is like 40% of the reason I have the job) is going to have to change because the distribution center is changing how they do trucks so they can come on our guaranteed days off now so we need to "keep our availability open" if we want hours 🙃

Hades 2 making the revolutionary choice to have Aphrodite actually like Hephestus

🦀💢⛵🐟🌱

18 yo coworker - Rich can you lift this piece of furniture? Me - Oh do you need help? Coworker - No I just dont want to do it and you're stronger Me- ...you know what respect

The Sacred Texts

Got to the part where Nemesis hits you exchange for gold and I guess Zag and Melinoe have more in common than I previously thought

It's a take my buspar and ibuprofen with a redbull kind of day

I beat Chronos please clap

Honestly cant believe Hades and Hades 2 begs to ask the question "hey so like what if the gods worked through all their shit?"

Turned on god mode in Hades 2 because of that bitch ass siren and I regret nothing

Hades first boss fight - kick the shit put of your ex-girlfriend and both of you are DEFINTELY into it Hades 2's first boss fight - Fight your mom all while shes telling you how proud she is of your progress

My favorite part of erebus is how the out of tartarus theme almost plays a few times but the closing notes of the melody never come like it's saying yeah this is still hades but it's about someone else now lol

Turns out rich can in fact do that but really really should not have

My job today required carrying boxes of laundry detergent on one arm while going up a ladder and pro tip don't do that

The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night 🦇 Happy Anniversary Castlevania 🖤

Boss - You can work out 5 pallets stacked to the ceiling of shit in 2 hours right Rich? Rich -

My work buddy is 23 he wants to be a team lead/manager and he probably will be an alright one but they're giving him a lot of responsibilities aka manager responsibilities at the same base pay and I'm like nooooo buddy they're taking advantage of you!

Zagreus and Melinoe both going for women who could snap them like a twig is a mood honestly

happy Hades 2 to us

I have unlocked the fuck you axe in Hades 2 and will not touch the other weapons for the remainder of this playthrough

Beat hecate after 2 tries using my preferred hades strategy the ol' slash and dash basically you rest your thumb on the x and b buttons and mash like crazy

Melinoe's "friends" - Sweet baby angel princess you've never done anything wrong you're so amazing! Zagreus' friends in unison - SHUT THE FUCK UP ZAG!

Im sick of being "reliable" and "having a good work ethic" and being "an important member of the team" STOP GIVING ME RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

Me all this morning at work- I could be playing hades 2 right now

What my dad sent me this morning

Junkfood arcade makes this all button controller but with thumbsticks and it's essentially the controller I've been dreaming of because my hands keep getting worse and holding a controller is miserable the problem is it's $175 which in terms of accessible tech isnt horrible but still

I decided to try silksong on my all button controller and I take back what I said about the pogoing that shit is easy as hell

I read thia came out to the living room and was like "what do you mean Christian saw?" AND THIS FUCKER HAD THE BOOK WITHIN ARMS REACH

I have POTS but it's on the less severe side of things but I forgot that having the less severe version of a debilitating chronic condition is still debilitating

More people in the Midwest need to be told explicitly to fuck off like why are you trying to park in the bike lane I'm standing in for 3 secs to cross the street getting way too close and when I say "what the fuck?" You act like IM the problem?!? Fuck off

Red store I work for sucks but it actually sucks the least out of all the terrible corporate jobs I've had like they fired the guy who was harassing my trans coworkers very quickly and they generally don't give us shit for calling out sick like the bar is in the center of the earth but still

I feel like I generally have a good handle on my mental illness but then I remember that last month I couldn't open a pill bottle (I have a tremor and my roommate wasn't home dont mak fun of me) and I busted it open with a PVC cutter in frustration and that doesn't scream mentally well

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I sent my dad list of books recs to help your lib curious father as a joke and he responded "well all of these sound very interesting but you know I dont read do you think theres a podcast covering them? 🤣

If you don't have a symphony of the night back dash in your metroidvania why would you even bother making a metroidvania?

It's a crime that hades 2 comes out on Wednesday and I got scheduled before it was announced so I couldn't take the day off

Felt absolutely nothing from that trailer and I largely suspect it was because it was quickly cut to distract from the garbage fire happening over there

Ok Konami if we're outsourcing Silent Hill to other devs to make new games CAN WE PLEASE GET ANOTHER CASTLEVANIA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE

Welcome to the Botanical Conservatory 🌿✨

I have been crying over someone breathing wrong in my direction because of a lot of shit that's been going on and today I cried about my dog not wanting to cuddle with me but this isn't new she never wants to cuddle with me shes not a cuddler

The problem when a game is so overhyped especially after a long development is you can't say anything negative without somebody losing their damn mind like I gave silksong the lightest possible criticism that the difficulty is artificially jacked up and it feels cheap and people said I was an idiot

Ok Nintendo you did this on purpose because what do you mean I can put Rosalina on the little dumpy and the junkyard hog?!?!

The problem with SOS is that it's really hard for them to exist in a post Stardew Valley world but Grand Bazaar chose to focus on characters, voice-acted cut scenes and community building while refining the core gameplay loop and it's the first SOS game in a while I feel it deserves it's price tag

I love how when you first play through Resident Evil 4 you think Leon has just insane luck and then you play the separate ways dlc and realize he doesn't have luck he has Ada Wong
