| Topic | Democrats are doing weirdly well in redistricting. |
| tainted_emerald 12/28/21 12:04:14 AM #52 | Doe posted... According to the article, Democrats have just decided to catch up to Republicans. Part of why they appear to be losing ground is that they had already completely gerrymandered their own states.It is a good sign that some states are still gaining dem seats despite being gerrymandered to the literal max. Watch the repugnants in those states start advocating for allowing districts to be dismembeodied from each other to try and take corruption to the next level though. --- "Evil is what you make of it.

It's different, but I think totally worth a shot.This. The narrative is just so damn good, and the gameplay has some very unique aspects. --- "Evil is what you make of it.

| tainted_emerald 11/23/21 3:05:29 AM #54 | Touch posted... Sweeeeet. Managed to escape now with all the weapons except the Shield now. Guess I had my Dark Souls "it clicked" moment lol.I usually pick Zeus's attack when using the Rail (except for Hestia's aspect). And max Zag aspect on the bow paired with Artemis's attack is surprisingly powerful. Especially with Artemis's dash or a dash attack boon from Chaos. Kinda relies on either Twin Shot, Point Blank Shot, or Triple Shot at higher heat levels though. --- "Evil is what you make of it.

| Topic | Give me some "mid-game" Hades tips. |
| tainted_emerald 11/23/21 1:56:53 AM #10 | pegusus123456 posted... Oh yeah, that was like the first thing I aimed for. I've generally been running Skelly's, but I might try out some others since I grabbed that third charge of Death Defiance. Maybe Cerberus' since it'd compliment it well. The Olympians' ones seem rather weak tho.The Olympians trinkets will guarantee that the first boon you come across in an area is that god's/goddess's. Useful if you want Divine Dash, or when you get more acquainted with the weapons later and want a certain attack/cast or dual boon. And you did buy the case that let's you switch them between areas right? As for the tokens, Fated Authority let's you reroll rooms. Fated Persuasion let's you reroll boon and mini shop choices, which is what I use the most. --- "Evil is what you make of it.

| tainted_emerald 11/23/21 1:47:21 AM #8 | pegusus123456 posted... That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.That might be a good idea at this point. You've been giving everyone at least one nectar as well right? Use what you get from that to help guide your build. And definitely respec and put more into what you mainly use. Don't underestimate Dark Foresight for more boons in a run. And know that even if you don't have anything in Fated Persuasion, you can still get tokens and use them if you got the upgrade at the Contractor that gives you them for Key rooms. --- "Evil is what you make of it.

| Topic | Would anyone else agree the usual stregnth of a jrpg is less the story itself.. |
| tainted_emerald 11/16/21 4:22:48 PM #20 | I agree that the sense of adventure is a draw factor for a lot of JRPGs. I'd also say that the larger variety of bright and creative settings is another major factor. Good cover art is another thing that drew me in (e.g. FFVII's cover and Xenogears's cover) --- "Evil is what you make of it.

Doesn't matter, if your life generally feels threatened you're entitled to do wtf it takes and use whatever you have on hand to protect it.So the first victim was right in attacking him, since Rittenhouse pointed the gun at him first?

| tainted_emerald 10/13/21 6:40:53 PM #6 | EmetSelch posted... because most Christian denominations don't get their own personalized porn category. :v There is the generic catholic themed stuff which I get, but then there is mormon themed gay porn which holds its own against a lot of the other categories. There wouldn't be so much of it if there wasn't a market.Well, I'd imagine a gay Catholic category would have some bad connotations... The other religions are all pretty samey when it comes to sexuality: either all fire and brimstone, or embracing it openly. And I'm sure most don't know the difference between Angelicists, Methodists, Baptists, Orthodox, etc. to make separate porn categories even viable. Mormons are a very different. No fire and brimstone, everyone gets a chance to go to heaven. No matter how bad they were on Earth, they get a choice to join or reject Christ at the second coming. But their approach to being gay is that you're expected to repress it. They're totally okay with it, so long as you don't act on it. It's basically considered to be a test of sorts from God. I'm sure it's mainly the missionary system and general niceness of most(?) Mormans that make it a thing though. Traits like that seem ripe for exploitation. --- "Evil is what you make of it.
