i know comparison to trump is effectively the godwin's law of our day, but the essence of trumpianism has always been a refusal to deal honestly or pay his debts. we're behaving no better.

All this stuff, aside from being ugly as hell, once more proposes the UK as a country which doesn’t pay its debts. It’s unserious.

You may have heard about UK ministers' plan to double to 10 years the time needed to reached settled status in the UK. But did you realise that it threatened access to pensions for the 180,000 people who came from Hong Kong on the UK government's visa scheme? My dispatch: www.ft.com/content/8b91...

The “health surcharge” is an utterly bogus labelling. It’s not hypothecated for health spending and you can’t choose not to pay it and not use the NHS. You could call it an education surcharge or a defence surcharge or anything. It’s just using the sanctified status of the NHS to rip off immigrants.

yeah i'm on one death defiance+lucky tooth and maybe i just need to reset my expectations and embrace the grind

i think i was just better at hades 1 so i didn't feel like i had to grind up more death defiance and hp to feel like i was making progress

ah maybe i just need to unlock more weapons, i'm up to the axe

pseudonymity enjoyer @ulycia.bsky.social · 1d

nope just jumped right into it from having played a *lot* of hades 1 so i probably just need to take time to adapt

let me finish this stupid thesis and that would be rad actually haha

yeah i'm okay at the cast but i think that's part of the style i'm having trouble with - hades 1 you could really be in there mixing it up in a pretty frenetic way but this one demands a level of space and patience (do crowd control, charge your cast, sprint away) i think i'm just not vibing with

mostly the staff as i preferred spear in the original game so find the short range on the sister blades a bit difficult

i think a thing i'm hugely struggling with is i really don't like the magick so a run where i get selune boons can fuck me bc of both opportunity cost and being forced to use it

pseudonymity enjoyer @ulycia.bsky.social · 1d

ok friend, i need some advice! i am really really struggling to adapt to the new play style (slower, more deliberate, sprint rather than dash, really wants you to use the long cast-time magic) and i need some pointers on how to not suck

pseudonymity enjoyer @ulycia.bsky.social · 1d

people who are enjoying hades 2: how do i unlearn the entire play style of the first game and learn to love the magick? i'm really struggling with not enjoying how it slows down the gameplay

rip, mine pretty much only gets a wash if i've had like, cheese bread or something

it also involves a huge amount of molten salt (which is how it keeps producing stable load overnight)

photovoltaics are objectively 'better' but concentrated solar is so cool and monumental and alien looking

how dare they try to score cheap points on the backs of the most vulnerable and people who are trying to help them

My absolute seething rage at how the showpeople of Govan are being treated by every single venerable Glasgow institution I usually adore continues. I just dug up this image: it's from a leaflet distributed in Govan in 2018, to inform locals about the proposals for local regeneration.
