The only way this is anywhere north of sane, coupled with his comment earlier about Mamdani's apartment, is that his strategists have told him that trying to "appeal to the youths" wasn't working and he needs to find some tough-guy strong-arm angle to win over... Independents? It's baffling.

Seven now, Eos down. Turns out two Chaos boons that add to your attacks kind of helps.

Eight weapons remain in my quest to complete all aspects on 32 Fear on both the Surface and the Underworld.

Zaniyah, Xolo shifter(?) Hexblade Warlock, indebted to retrieving ancient artifacts stolen by adventurers - a job she's honestly on board with. Holding an obsidian blade and casting a spell, she stands sentinel in a tomb surrounded by stone caskets and belongings meant to accompany their owners in the afterlife.

Told ya, all she needed was some props and a bit of recoloring. Hadn't been inspired to delve into Heroforge like this in awhile, so it's been pretty lovely to sink myself into character modeling again.

(Just, please, Wizards, make sure the Hexblade stays cool? Look at this lass. She deserves it.)

It's literally the Farquaad adage. "Some of you will be hurt, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

West What-now?

So I've decided, on these underworld runs... forget it. Bump up the price of shops, cull some boons, and make Chronos a regular boy again. And let me tell you - regular Chronos is *laughably* easy comparatively. And that's cool with me.

9 weapons down, 15 to go.

Phase 2 of the whole fight has him doing his instakill move. Not usually an issue, but if you don't phase him, he summons a sand dome in the middle that can stun you if you so much as touch it, and that's during his *second* of three instakill explosions. Without Death Defiances, you're dead.

Chronos, though... it's his phase 3. It's a playfield that's big enough to scroll the screen, with AOE effects and scythe strikes and dashes and random garbage going on that you have to constantly dodge as *he's* bamfing around the arena like it's his playground. The biggest issue though:

Scylla is just kind of annoying with how many projectiles the band throws at you (including the fourth band member they've found for the fight) and the whole fight seems like a minefield, and Cerberus has no room to maneuver while he decides to dart around and belch fire all over the place.

Completed all weapons on 32 Fear on the Surface in Hades 2 (of which I'm feeling *a lot* better about than I did before, difficulty-wise - they've done a fantastic job retooling the Surface, and the Rivals versions of the bosses are solid challenges).

Now it's the Underworld. And it's got hands.

... holy shit, that's actually amazing.

Hell yeah, love to hear it.

That I'm really happy about, because his kind of character is one I'd really like to see more from shows like this.

I'm... honestly kind of surprised? Some of the trailers and some of how Bobby was being portrayed made me a bit nervous that they wouldn't pull it off, but hey, that's good to hear.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Also to have said combination create a scenario where the optimal way to play a Plinko roguelike is to not hit a single peg is A Choice

Why you would design an item that gives out points based on a percentage of the target score is beyond my understanding

Nubby's Number Factory: A weird, charming little game that's fun right up until you realize one item and one perk breaks the entire game in half.

... commodity, so she likely can't walk around in plate- or scalemail, and thus realistic options are limited. Warlock, as well, introduces some interesting story angles with old gods and such. I'm not sure how deep I want to wade into the sacrifice trope, all things considered, but it's there.

... Hexblade! The new UA Hexblade is... contentious, to say the least, but what it *does* do (I hope, anyway - who knows what it'll look like when it's actually printed) is encourage the warlock to stay in light armor or cloth, padding their defenses if they do so. Metal was not a common...

Yo, chat, I think we cooked.

Granted she still almost certainly needs something else behind her, or around her... but I think this came together super well. The main thing that helped: coming up with an actual character concept for her. The fallbacks felt samey, but then I realized...

MrBeast at some event posing with his uncanny smile and dead eyes wearing a black suit jacket over a fuckin hoodie “Obviously we won’t kill people.” -MrBeast, on creating his version of ‘The Hunger Games’

had the idea of collecting the most ominous or threatening images of MrBeast but fear nothing can top this

I have admittedly always wondered in the back of my mind what the draw was to her for you, but yeah, I can see it now. Very sweet.

Not an expert by any means, but that looks like a skirt that's meant to pair with something kind of specific. Standalone it might look odd?

... and probably melt yourself in the process, but hey

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.
