Oh my god I swear I did not realize I was actually, like, DONE? This makes I think THREE Hades streams where I’m like “hey let me dump this idea I have at the start of the stream!” and then it winds up that’s the stream in which that idea is confirmed, and I SWEAR that is completely accidental, I do not actually have a psychic connection to Hades or its writers or its characters, despite appearances.
Anyway. Yeah. This is a really good game. I really like it. I’m thinking about making a video essay about some narrative themes in it? Would you like to see that? Is that something I should do? I’ll probably have to actually prevent war with Olympus first so I know what actually happens, but I’ve already started churning through some ideas.
So, I’m pushing this live earlier than I usually do. Do you like that? Is it OK that the HD video isn’t quite finished processing? Would you like for me to try to put videos up the day after a stream? I think that would be good for me. I used to do that for years but I stopped, and I’ve never kept to a schedule since, but…

WOOH so excited to sit down and watch this, especially from the title! There's a certain song I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on 👀👀which I'm assuming isn't a spoiler since by the time I'm typing this you've heard it!
I am curious what your plans are for the rest of Hades, and whether you plan to continue, but I figure you'll get to that in the video, so for now I'll just enjoy buckling in for a lovely, cozy ride through another week of gameplay~
