Posting on PC, updating my art thread and stuff like that. Can't really do much these days with an indefinite lockdown and bigger virus threads looming about.

i see. how would you have originally wanted to spend the vacation Seliph? i'm looking at that answer and i see that it's exactly how i'd spend my time off work too, maybe even regardless of if COVID were a thing or not lol.

Pretty much the same. I think I would have checked out a couple stores, though. I like to do that occasionally in case someone has new stuff (that I don't end up buying anyway lol).

Oh, and I beat my first Hades run. That final boss was a pain, tho. "^-^

ah i see. with our situation in my country i can actually go out to stores all fine, it's just that getting there is a pain thanks to the severely limited commute options right now. also they close super early. must be a lot tighter where you live huh?

and congrats on beating Hades! i've seen a playthrough of that recently, and it seems like a really cool mechanic to always have to go back to the start when you die , BUT you keep your strength, so the first levels always get easier and easier as you go.

Regular stores are still open. I just like to go into electronics stores and the such ("non-essential shops" is the word I was looking for). It's an excuse for me to leave my appartment (when the ceiling is metaphorically crushing me). Well, other than work. Would you believe that there are IT companies where nobody does home office because their IT infrastructure is so prehistoric and the argument "work is not being done when people stay at home" is so ingrained in their mind?

I don't like roguelikes but this game just gives you that feeling as if you're always making progress, no matter how many times you fail (just the memories of all the attempts that ended at the first boss... "^^)

ah, i see. i personally like staying at home for long periods of time, so i guess that's where we sort of differ. and i'm guessing that's the kind of IT company you work in right now huh? i truly hope you find somewhere better should you decide to. doesn't seem like a place one would wanna stay in for long.

Hades truly is the epitome of "doesn't matter how many times you fail, just keep going". we're gonna go back to square one so many times in life, but it's still progress no matter what. the bosses are like, Greek gods or something right?

I also don't like neighbors, especially when they're noisy. So I sometimes need to get somewhere else. Otherwise I can lose my temper very quickly.
Thing is: the people at that company are very nice. It's just so that they still live by their philosophy of "never change a running system".

The bosses are mostly mythological creatures and people. The gods come into play when it comes to finding upgrades during a run. Every god has their own unique set of "boons" they can bestow upon the player. But they only persist during a run. And since their locations are random you'll basically end up having a different skill set every time you play.

ohh i see. neighbors are a non-factor for me because my village is from the 80s and still has detached houses. neighbors make noise here and there, but we're at considerable enough distances for that to not be an issue. i understand your need to leave the house now though. and oh? how nice do those company folks continue to be when someone suggests changing the status quo for the better? i am coming at this without any knowledge of who they are though, so forgive me if that sounded too rouch.

oh i didn't even know bosses were in random locations; another interesting mechanic! does that mean they all have uniform levels of difficulty? or do they scale depending on how early you fight them or not?

I grew up in a small village. Not a fan of all those human cages everywhere. <_<
Change can happen but it's excruciatingly slow. At one point we where trying out (where allowed to reseach) git for better source control. Nothing that satisfied my boss so we're still using an old proprietary system made by a quasi defunct company from the last millennium.

Bosses are in fix location. There are areas divided into rooms. After clearing every room you get a new boon. When you reach the end of the area you fight the boss. The boss stays mostly the same. But after beating them enough times there's a chance for them to have something different (abilities, patterns, etc.). For instance: beat the fury Megaera enough and Hades will question her competence. From that point on there's a chance that instead of running into her you'll run into one of her sisters instead.
