I haven't played Hades yet, but I do have a similar opinion to yours about roguelikes. I played Rogue Legacy, and I had fun, but losing everything and getting different stats or perks instead of what I originally had was never that exciting for me. However, I loved Dead Cells, and some of the things I loved about it seem similar to what they're saying about Returnal and what I've heard about Hades. Basically, yes, you don't have the stuff you received during your playthrough, but in Dead Cells, there were separate upgrades that remained the same for each playthrough. That would allow you to start with better weapons, find better stuff, upgrade the difficulty, and permanently upgrade your stats and abilities. So even though I "started over," I felt like I was going somewhere, both with the upgrades I accumulated and due to getting good, and I was going through a different level design. So I ended up with, like, 70+ hours or something on it, and I would usually avoid those games. Add Housemarque's arcade gameplay, and I'm there Day 1. :-O

Oh, you never beat the original? Or started The Old Hunters? BB did get me used to the spectacle of a great boss battle because DeS's bosses are not as intricate, or as @Bloodporne said, they don't have that 2nd "fuck you" form to them.

I'm trying to imagine what would happen if I played Bloodborne right after Demon's Souls considering going from 60 to locked 30 was jarring and Bloodborne isn't locked. I'd get used to it because it's a fantastic game, but DeS is so slick. So glad they remade it.

Hey, it may not be 3, but I feel like this announcement stunned everyone!

Have you played Dead Cells?

SimpleG making it look easy. No biggie.

Two observations I've seen people make: 1. Trump lost the 2020 election by only getting 232 electoral votes. 232 is also the number of votes he received for his historic second impeachment. 2. Two weeks ago, he shared some photoshopped photo of him with a Nobel Peace Prize. Now he's impeached for inciting an insurrection -- filled with neo-Nazis, racists, and radicals -- against his own country.

Houston Police Department found that one of their officers breached the Capitol. They say he will likely face federal charges.

I was wondering why there were two threads. Well played

Ahead Of Impeachment, Security Is Tight At The Capitol WWW.NPR.ORG Barricades were set several blocks from the Capitol building. Law enforcement and national guard officials checked badges for anyone to enter the perimeter even by foot.

How it started: How it's going: There's no joke here, btw. Just observation.

Also from the article:

Inside Joe Biden’s plan to avoid a midterm ‘shellacking’ - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM Presidents traditionally get pummeled in the off years. Especially those in their first term. But Team Biden has a plan. And some Dems are cautiously optimistic.

The joke was supposed to be that the X-Wing itself was the sandbox but I have clearly failed in all possible ways.

To the back of the X-Wing and then to the front.

You're able to go anywhere in the X-Wing.

Pretty damn good, actually.

Open world in an X-Wing.
