I use twitch streams as white noise while working but this evening that didn't work out too good because everyone was watching the Game Awards and I ended up getting sucked in. Since I'm a patient gamer usually I didn't have any investment in the award outcomes. I haven't played anything that was brought up. But I am super hype about the announcement from Supergiant that they're making a sequel to Hades. It looks like it's going to play almost exactly the same, just with different mechanics for maybe the weapons and mobs, which is great. The core gameplay is perfect, new challenges and variety is all I want. What I really want is for Supergiant to go for something wacky and new after this though. I think the fact that all of their games are very different, even though they clearly are related, is great.

The art and music is of course just as sexy as Hades 1. The trailer is impeccable. 

From that trailer and some of the followup it seems like the general plot is the MC is the princess of the underworld, Zag's sister, Hades' daughter, and is possibly out to kill Kronos to rescue Hades. I'm guessing the last image is Hades in chains though it's possible it could be someone else. I am extremely easy to please when it comes to drooling over guys so even the teasers have had me fully satisfied. I'm also very happy for the lady enjoyers because both the MC and Hecate are also good looking.

When I posted yesterday I realized there was one thing I didn't mention which is that I'm still playing the hell out of Nu:Carnival. It turned out to be easy to do as f2p. Sure, I can't get all of the cards but the system is generous enough that I almost always get something every event, and I can save up for pity when I'm desperate. The most recent event had Blade and Edmond which was a mild annoyance because I wanted Edmond and wanted to dodge Blade, which of course means I pulled Blade first. I'm taking my losses and walking away for the next event now.

Even though the game is very much a porn game, a majority of the gameplay is either easy to maintain resource management, or surprisingly wholesome plot stuff. The little events are usually cute and have little morals about believing in yourself or supporting each other and stuff like that. The outfits are horny, and the reward for playing is still sex, but it's a running joke in the fandom that people come for the dick and literally forget about it in favor of just grinding through the actual game and getting emotional about character growth.

I just love porn logic. Material saving robes indeed. The other two pics are little bonuses from the Halloween event, with little short stories. The bat creature with the cool whip tits is an incubus in his bat form. He's adorable and I would get a plushy of him if I had the chance.
