  1. One of my favorite runs was doing this. Iirc, I pulled it off with Aspect of Nemesis, which is a bit strong. My rule was not "no benefiting from any boons" though and just "no boons in the Hades fight" so I would would pick up the mandatory boons and just use them until the next purging pool where I'd get rid of all of them. It's enough for the game to count it for the easter egg dialogue so it's good enough for me lmao.

  2. I’m pretty sure that BreadTube has already determined that the people on the coast whose homes are flooded are selling those homes to Aqua Man. HBomb already called it.

  3. To the question of “why doesn’t Sisyphus just stop” because in the mythology if he stops or slows down ever he gets whipped by basically demons so he must always push the boulder.

  4. Classic comedy time.

    Zagrussy: "Father. Whilst I was out ransacking your realm, I came across a peculiar shade, by the name of Bophades."
    Hades: "Hmm. I do not recall this name, boy. Who is this Bophades?"
    Z: "Bopha-deez nuts you miserable old man!"
    H: "Tsch! Such disrespect from my own kin! The likes of which I've not seen since "Updog".
    Z: "Updog? What's 'Updog'?"
    Z: 1:40

  5. I really just love your content style. I dunno if you could find a game that I'd dislike watching you edit and commentate.

    Edit: Is that a Dunkey reference?
