Its always hilarious how Core Boon heavy Aphro's Boon Balance ended up being she had:
Strongest Multiplier Boon in the game, one of the best debuff tied to it without needing a secondary follow up, cast is arguably one of the best having high damage for Beowulf, and the best for Hera, and i guess Duo wise it enables Smoldering Air + 3 stack hangover with Dio(naturally synergizes with the 2 best call boon). Dash is i guess sort of decent too
And then the other boons be like "weak lasts longer" and "weak reduces a bit more damage". I guess the weak enemy gets more damage one is kinda cool since it should give you a multiplicative scaling towards high raw numbers which are always sort of neat?
" a stranger is just a friend you've never met"
9:19 Yeah, this is acquaintance tier. You've been introduced? You get introduced to plenty of people, including some people you turn out to hate. I think the line of "are they your friend" is… like, not "have you gone on a 1:1 hangout", but "do you like them enough that you would if you were both free and in a hangoutty mood".
The fun thing about these is to see how a god works on its own, so I vote no duo boons for now
A friend is someone who you could call to help you with something and would call you to help them with something and when asked you just say ok
You could do solo modded Gods after
i know some people are like "oh, i just wanna be friends with everyone :))))" and that's fine, but calling someone who you've never had a conversation with a friend is a bit silly imho
Duo boons after you hit all the gods is a great idea!
Social events can be great for meeting people. A coffee house in my town hosts a monthly queer event for people to just sit and chat (and buy their coffee). I meet so many great people each month, there are regulars, too. Allies (people that aren't lgbtq but support them) and those willing to learn are always welcome, too.
Yeah, it's hard to meet people as adults. There are so few "third places" (ie: not work, not private homes) where you can hang out and chill and maybe make new connections.
The thing about pottery class etc is that you can't be going there to meet friends (or dates either). If that's your only goal, you'll have a bad time and be super annoying to everybody around you. It has to be something that you're genuinely interested in! Hopefully if there's someone there you can vibe with and want to be more than an acquaintance, you'll have at least one thing in common. And if you don't, you'll still have a good time for yourself, enriching your own life.
I would recommend that after doing one god only challenge for each god, you should do it again, but this time allowing ONE boon from another god and the corresponding DUO and that's it.
For me, someone is officially my friend when I can relax and just be myself around them. Like I trust them enough to not attack me mentally or emotionally for just having a personality. And then beyond that, it's a true friendship when we actually spend time together and just vibe periodically.
It's kinda different for everyone, cause like my definition is based on past experiences where my trust and faith in others was shattered, so I have broader, more general requirements to consider someone a friend.
It's nice hearing you ramble about these topics I usually ramble about in my head :=)
On the topic of duo-boons:
I would suggest to replace either Chaos or Hermes with the duo-boons.
If you replace Chaos the duo-boons would appear randomly (probably easier to do). If you replace Hermes you could have the duo's show up in the same way Hermes boons show up (probably harder to implement, but it would be more fun).
Thanks for the content and bye bye
Wouldn’t heartrend work with zag bow?
I dont think you cant really call them a friend if you dont know much about them and haven't talked to them alone
Would like to see this concept with duo boons yes!
Adding in duo boons sounds cool
Just cleared 18 heat last night! Also got my best speed run earlier the same day with a time of 15:45. I am best with Talos Fists which from what I gather is not really that great in the grand scheme but it works so well for me. Not sure why. I have been practicing a lot with other weapons and aspects though as well as builds. Thanks again for the videos. Also quick question: Are chaos gates generally faster than taking a normal chamber? Disregarding situations like the curse from chaos making you ultimately slower or if the other chambers offered are shops or anything that stops the timer.
There's a cultural component to friendship, I've noticed. Lots of people use the phrase 'my friend' in casual conversation, even when they literally just met you and don't know what your voice sounds like.
Aphro is always one of the more desirable choices when I'm doing a run, particularly the high heat ones. Just having it in the back of your mind that you won't be penalized as heavily for screwing up with weak encourages more aggressive play. Charm is quite underrated for its utility.
it's ok for everyone to have different friendship criteria but i do think it's important to distinguish between acquaintance and close friend. calling everyone you meet a friend might be emotionally dangerous to you. personally i start calling acquaintances friends when enough kinship is built between us when the term starts feeling appropriate. kind of a cop out answer i know but what're you gonna do.
give us duo boon fun
I have a person that I know, and talk to for 3+ years now, but I wouldn't call her a friend. Not because i don't like her, I actually look up to her quite a lot, we have some similar interests. Even went to karaoke in a small group of people together with her, saw her savagely screaming an operatic section of bohemian rhapsody and she saw me doing the same, it was great. But it's not like we actively seek each other out, it's always because of our mutuals or work. Maybe my definition of a friend is too strict, but still. I guess what I think is that an effort has to be made, to be in each other's company, some constant attention, maybe something as small as sending each other jokes and interesting posts or something. (and maybe my mindset is exactly why I don't have a lot of friends, haha)
32 heat must be easier on other platforms besides Nintendo
I think it would be interesting if Chaos instead offered certain duo boons. Definitely would need to look at each duo, like the Zeus/Athena boon could spawn on Athena runs, but not Zeus'.
Well now I can definitely see the difference in culture. Friend isn’t someone you’ve been introduced to, it is not somebody whose face you saw couple times. The Friend is almost a relative, a person so close and deeply trusted that you could call him brother. And there are no such a thing as men+women friendship, friend cannot want to get laid with friend. So, The answer is No, they are not friends. And talking about Cultural differences for the Purpose of determining the levels of relationships between people, we have plenty of notions in Russian language. acquaintance for the person you’ve just met, or you are not close to by any means. Comrade- little closer then the previous one, more often this comes to you at work personal, buddy/pal almost a friend but still not so much and a friend (I’ve described it earlier). You do have these words but use it in one meaning (friend) while for Russian people Friend is someone really special and close.
The fact that the term “friend of a friend” exists means that it’s a necessary qualifier for ppl NOT your friend
dan just go to a coffee shop and ask if theyre sitting alone and if theyre busy, if theyre not, talk to them exactly about this (when are two people considered [registered] friends)
I know hermes technically doesn't have significant boons but would you try to do a full hermes/chaos only run if there was a way to get more than 2 hermes boons?
Honestly, anyone that I've had one good conversation with, that I intend to hang out with in the future, is someone I'd call a friend. I've found that a lot of the time it's pretty easy to tell with most people – either we hit it off, or we don't. Maybe I'm just lucky, but most of the people I decide that I don't want to be friends with make it pretty obvious that I wouldn't want to be friends with them.
I'm surprised you didn't take the Hades keepsake early so that you aren't offered Aphrodite's call lol
i wonder how aspect of achilles crush shot would fare in this heat
I had a friend for 10+ years. He was more important than my own brother to me. We had so much fun during our school days.
Then he moved without letting me know, left the country without telling me and has been back for a year now but we haven't met. No texts, no calls.
Friendship is overrated. Choose your companions to accompany you in life. Keep them as an acquaintance only. Move one when time comes.
Why not do the all Hermes and all Chaos runs? Does the mod just not support it?
I suppose it might not be especially interesting with no unique effects happening beyond just raw damage and speed, but as a comparison for effectiveness i think it could still be good. Would allow use of that trinket that buffs un-booned skills too.
