~~Game Description~~
Hades is a roguelike action role-playing video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2020, which followed an early access release from December 2018.
Players control Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape from Underworld to reach Mount Olympus, at times aided by gifts bestowed on him from the other Olympians. Each run challenges the player through a random series of rooms populated with enemies and rewards. The game has a hack and slash combat system; the player uses a combination of their main weapon attack, dash power, and magic ability to defeat them while avoiding damage to progress as far as possible. While Zagreus will often die, the player can use gained treasure to improve certain attributes or unlock new weapons and abilities to improve chances of escaping on subsequent runs.
Hades was developed following Supergiant’s Pyre, a game in which they wanted to explore procedural narrative storytelling, but due to the nature of the main gameplay, found that players did not play through Pyre multiple times to explore this. The roguelike structure of Hades gave them the opportunity to tell these branching stories to the player over the course of multiple runs. Hades received critical acclaim for its gameplay and narrative and won numerous awards, including game of the year from several publications.

Norse mythology: if you don't die doing cool stuff, don't expect to do cool stuff in the after life.
30:57 The approach of copying the solution that evidently works the best from elsewhere, is sadly most often overlooked. It seems to me that the debate is far more likely to be driven by prima facie assumptions about what policy is best based on ideological assumptions. "How could another country know what would work for us? They are "X"ians and we are "Y"ians, and even though it works for them I know that it would never work fur us! (also these other parties are in favor of it so we just cannot endorse it)"
EDIT: also infrastructure is something that everyone who has access to it profits from, while at the same time being something that is hard to be profitable. It is very hard to calculate how beneficial a good transportation (water, electricity, internet, medicine) infrastructure is to a country no matter how unprofitable the institution in and of itself is. Descending into ideology myself now, I think the benefits of good infrastructure may be immesurably greater than what they could ever cost. Then again look around the world to find the right balance; things are not so just because I think they are.
