  • Hades 2 and Coromon

    Already played Hades 2 in early access and now I’m finally getting the whole story. Compared to the first part the new movements needed some time to get used to but I feel like they made a lot of improvements with the in early access. Characters and story (so far) are as good as expected after part 1. I’m definitely not disappointed :)

    Coromon on the other hand feels like one of the early Pokemon games with some quality of life additions (e.g. special skills like flying or cut are not linked to your Coromon but a gauntlet you character wears). Most funny part so far: there are two inventor characters linked to the main story Nikola and Thomas who are in a relationship. I feel like someone inserted their favorite science fanfic here :D





  • Doch weh! Die Flamme fasst das Kleid, die Schürze brennt; es leuchtet weit. Es brennt die Hand, es brennt das Haar, es brennt das ganze Kind sogar.

    Und Minz und Maunz die schreien gar jämmerlich zu zweien: “Herbei! Herbei! Wer hilft geschwind? In Feuer steht das ganze Kind! Miau! Mio! Miau! Mio! Zu Hilf’! Das Kind brennt lichterloh!”

    I liked these books as a kid. Though brutal they had an obvious moral and it was easy to understand. Unlike the reality we’re currently / grew up in.

    But I love “The story of a boy who went forth to learn fear” was my most favorite book after I learned to read.







  • I agree, that a meme is not the best option, because it’s a nuanced thing, but no, you got it wrong or at least you found the worst kind of interpretation for this:

    As a child I was heavily beaten for a lot of things like (loud) crying, insisting on stuff or like not agreeing with my father in general. So when I’m out today and I see a child behaving like this (which is, occasionally, typical child behavior and important for their development) I subconsciously already expect something painful to happen. So this is the first negative feeling this triggers in me.

    Then the other learned behavior chimes in: anger. How you react to a situation like that is often behavior you learned from your parents. So my father showed me that in this kind of situation it’s not only justified but normal to get angry. So my first subconscious reaction is anger, I can’t help it.

    Then the consciousness and therapy kicks in. I remember it’s a child and it needs to be allowed to process things, even this way, no matter if they make me uncomfortable (within boundaries obvs). No one’s going to get hurt now and it’s not that bad.

    The image with the text made me laugh a bit because I think it pretty well depicts the emotional rollercoaster and the energy drain. I still love my niblings to bits and I’m happy, they don’t have to feel the same as me now, when they are older.
