Okay, so I’m sorry if that video title spoils what happens in this stream, but I was just SO EXCITED because it’s SUCH good stuff, this game is so good, I’m so proud of myself for piecing things together and also REALLY PROUD OF SUPERGIANT GAMES FOR MAKING SUCH GOOD CHARACTERS the music is so good the WRITING is so good the GAME is so FUN I’m just kind of incoherent rambling
Anyway yeah, I’m a little bit frustrated because Zagreus does not have the knowledge that we the player have (or at least that a player who’s familiar with Greek mythology would have; I wonder what this would be like for a player who ISN’T familiar with Greek mythology) … so there’s this delightfully frustrating dramatic irony where he’s like “gosh, Orpheus, I’ll keep an eye out for your muse” and I’m like oh my GOD boy you are FRIENDS with her c’mon WHAT and pulling my hair out, and now we’ve met Patroclus and I just LOVE THEIR VERSION OF ACHILLES SO MUCH I NEED TO REUNITE HIM WITH HIS ONE TRUE LOVE OR AT LEAST DELIVER LOVE LETTERS BETWEEN THEM AND
look
I have feelings, is all
(we will see if anyone actually reads these video descriptions or not but they are just a good place for me to pour out more feelings and more words)

Have you heard of Darkest Dungeon?
I'd love to see you play that game.
Lauren: Ready?
Zag: Ready as I'll ever be.
Everyone: 🥲
For your first time back after a multi-week break, you did fantastic. Back to Elysium by the third attempt! (Even tying your past record.) Tied Thanatos, too. And found Patroclus, which was your biggest stated goal this stream.
Patroclus, aside from being exciting for lore reasons, has such incredible gifts that he has often saved me; especially the free-max-death-defiance-restoration item.
The spoiler channel was going NUTS when you made that called shot with Patroclus. Well done.
