Honestly, i think you've kinda gotten it right on the first try, the videos aren't monsterously long and text amount is good as is. Make your videos the way you want to, ya know? Keep 'em up❤❤❤
Thanks No Name, I'm ready to roll back the changes if it doesn't work out. Next video has two merged runs for tech issues. So we'll test the waters with that. And we will make em how we want!
Personnally, I really like watching long videos. I put them in the background while doing my things, or simply chill in front of them (during my meals, for example) or both, since I tend to rewatch stuff, including your videos. So I really don’t mind the longer formats, whatever you put in them ! This game is amazing, from the graphics to the music, which really enhances this feeling for me. And again, your commentary makes it much more entertaining ! Those Chaos trials are quite interesting too. Useful when it comes to understanding your weapons and making new strategies ! Also Hestia’s « Oi Apollo, get your buttocks over here, I need light ! » was so funny lmao. She’s the best
Thaanks Solo, I tend to like long videos too so I relate with what you mean. Glad my videos could be included in your routine! Game is a superb package! I never would've found out what Steam was until the Trials, really useful indeed. Apollo compliance to Hestia is really cute, what a dysfunctional family we have here.
CHAOS TRIAL RUN! That's so awesome! Thanks for the shout-out. Hecate is easily one of the most interesting mythological beings in greek myth, and I'm glad the folks who made this kept that about her. We love our magical titaness. Also, I feel like Toula should be buffed a little. You can't get her until later and by then the extra death defiance isn’t as useful, and her damage is a bit weak for having to be activated by your dash. About what you said, about your format and your release. As much as I love your content and would greatly enjoy seeing more of it, I don’t want it to come at the cost of your health or becoming tired of playing this amazing game. Obviously you do what you want and if you want to release more you have my full support. But if you like things the way they are, you have my full support on that too! I love your style of light commentary, I absolutely adore the little text boxes you add! I love your Hades II videos, and I will continue to enjoy them no matter what! Keep up the good work!
Let's goo more Chaos Trials! and you're welcome my homie. Hecate is amazing ^ LOL Toula def needs something. Considering it was shown in the trailer, it is rather underwhelming. I later find out she's good for fishing! It's too bad because I think in a game like Hades, you're already good on damage, it doesn't feel like you need the support. And if so, the support needs to be somewhat on par with your fighting capabilities, otherwise, you might as well have killed those monsters yourself. If we really want Toula to keep fighting, sure we could buff the damage, and maybe attack more than 1 target before fallign asleep lol. I feel the most impactful supports are those that provide utility. Frinos can block projectiles, useful for Hecate and Eris. Only issue is I don't command where Frinos would sit, but that's okay. Toula's utility is the additional death defiance? which, is okay. But that means you'd have to die lots before you could even make use of that, which feels bad. I also think the Toula's ai could find more practical spots to sleep. I often find them by the end of the room napping lol. And thaanks for having my back Nicholas! I'll be careful how it may affect me. I'll give it a few tries, and we'll see how we all feel.
I actually think you got it right on the first try. You’ve hit that sweet spot of commentary, length, and upload schedule. Nothing overstays its welcome. It makes perfect background audio for me when I need something to listen to and it’s a good watch if I just want to lay down for UA-cam videos.
Thanks Shanda! I think I was leaning to this sentiment too. I like videos in the background, but I also think it can get lengthy for ppl watching the whole thing. Appreciate your thoughts!
So I think that I enjoy the videos the way they are, even though I am not closed to exploring new things ahaha and I personally believe that one of the strong points is the light commentary I find it cute and engaging and a way to keep the audience looking at the video and not just putting it as something in the background. That Hecate dialogue was so heartbreaking :c Hecate is such a tsundere. Btw now that we know that Jetty and Roxy can sing, I think I'll become a Jetty stand X)
Aww thanks. I don’t want to lose the commentaries either. Back when I did “No Commentaries” I couldn’t help but add comments anyways. Tho I don’t mind if it’s set aside in the background either, I can relate to that. I’ll keep you comment to consideration! Hecate is such a tsundere! B-baka! I want to hear Roxy sing, I’ll be sure to pay attention that. Idk I get excited when either of them get a feature, so I’ll stan to both if that’s allowed.
So I just wanted to add something. In the actual myth, Circe is the one who turned Scylla into a monster (She was a pretty nymph before). I'm actually curious now if Scylla will comment on Circe's keepsake sometime :3
Fun fact about the Scylla and the Sirens fight: In all of their songs all three band members sing but Featured Artist intensifies that person’s part of the song whether it be instrumental or vocals. Another youtuber has videos of their songs with Jetty and Roxy’s parts by themselves with a bit of backing from Scylla, just look up Coral Crown/Claw Out Your Eyes Jetty/Roxy/Scylla solo and you’ll probably find it
Honestly, what Hecate needs more than conversations with Melinoe is to straight up talk to Hades or Persephone, or probably both. Because her problem isn't really with Melinoe herself, but more of how she's 'usurped' Hades and Persephone's 'rightful' place as her parents, and how she believes she raised Melinoe to be a weapon. She did, but the thing she's missing is that she also raised Melinoe with LOVE. We literally see that slapped across our faces in the very first flashback with a younger Melinoe. The fact that she's wrestling with guilt over that fact is just more evidence on how much she truly loves her. GOD this game is so good.
Oh ya, this cannot be resolved with just Meli. As usual parent to child arguments go, usually the power dynamic isn’t even enough for the caregiver to take their child’s opinions seriously. Even if both sides exhibited good points. I think Hecate would still be a tsundere to Hades and Persephone’s remarks, but a conversation with them would be more productive than with Meli. Hecate’s intentions are often hidden in shadow. It’s true Meli’s upbringing was to be a weapon sharpened for Chronos. But as you said, the hide n seek flashback cemented to me Hecate also loved Meli. It’s unfortunate the two of them did not see it as a game, but as training or hunting. But you can’t fake the kind of affection if it was solely duty. Gods this game! Supergiants. Everybody!! (Dies)
18:00 hallelujah! 1:05:29 The devs are poking fun at little Od here and I love it. Melinoëy was great. Do not stretch yourself too thin, Hamstir. I very much like this video length, by the way, but I get that people want more. Sorry for not making a big comment today. Got a bad hangover right now and can't bring myself to comment on much, but just know, I giggled at the mention of pausing the game, and other little quips.
Lesbians get a W here! The joke occurred to me after the fact, good joke lmao. Thanks for your input! I think you're right ^ I was thinking the same thing after awhile. Maybe once and awhile I may allow a 2 run episode if a lose early for instance. Definitely don't want y'all watching a 3hr episode. And you are under no obligations for large comments ^ sounds like you had a good night LOL and glad you got a giggle off.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Fates do actually have this all planned out and know how it's gonna go down. They sent Moros away before Chronos's attack, after all.
Tough to say. When Mel asked how the Fates couldn't foresee the attack, Nem says "They're always weaving" in that they're always preoccupied. Moros claimed they didn't have it all planned if they were captured. Their Plea from the Minor List sounded desperate. Also, any action Chaos takes, it goes against the Fates weavings. But if were to try to make a case for the Fates. I wouldn't say they're as powerful as Chaos, but they may be the second next ^ We may have underestimated how their power, and perhaps they had some premeasures, seeing that Chronos's capture of the House was years before the capture of the Fates. There might've been some pre-planning in place by the Fates in that sense.
@@vladimirstevanovic7157 I’d like to, I’ve yet to try but I believe I’m supposed to catch the bug live, then screenshot and report with F10. It’ll be tough for me if I don’t notice it real-time.

8:15. Scylla was once a beautiful nymph and she was the daughter of Phorcys and Crataeis, and older sister of Thoosa. The fisherman-turned-sea-god Glaucus fell madly in love with her, but she fled from him onto land, where he could not follow. Despair filled his heart and he went to the sorceress Circe to ask for a love potion to melt Scylla's heart. As he told his tale of love about Scylla to Circe, she herself fell in love with him. She wooed him with her sweetest words and looks, but the sea-god would have none of her. Circe was furious, but with Scylla and not with Glaucus. She prepared a vial of very powerful poison and poured it in the pool where Scylla bathed. As soon as the nymph entered the water, she was transformed into a frightful monster with twelve feet and six heads, each with three rows of teeth (True story). Her younger sister Thoosa became the mother of Cyclops Polyphemus by Poseidon.
Talking about Scylla and the Sirens, I would love to punish and curse Kazuna Masunaga by turning him into a male monster called a Male Siren just as I would love to punish and curse Yuuto Uemura by turning him into a male monster called a Male Siren. Because there are a lot of weird and arrogance female characters in light novel anime that I hate them the most and I also hate a lot of voice actresses who play them in light novel anime. I want Kazuna Masunaga to eat a lot of weird and arrogance female characters in light novel anime just like I want Yuuto Uemura to eat a lot of voice actresses who play them in light novel anime. Just like I want Kazuna Masunaga and Yuuto Uemura to eat women like male Siren that eats women.
@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 thanks for the synopsis Tuan! Lmao I like that we had to specific the siren being male. Alas, Scylla seemed to have done nothing wrong at that time, besides existing.
@@Hamstir4. Because Circe is very jealous. Anyway, after I curse Kazuna Masunaga by turning him into a male monster called Male Siren, I will convince and order Kazuna to eat these two arrogant women, An Kohinata and Kaya Saimori.
@@Hamstir4 Yes. As a Male Siren, they will be handsome to seduce women and then eat women. As for Kazuna Masunaga, he will be my errand boy and do exactly what I say.
5:29 Yeah, that seems like a common theme for second regions. First game had Tartarus with lava everywhere, now Oceanus has steam vent and water spouts. In regards to your whole TedTalk, do whatever you think is best. And don't worry about my time or comments, I watch Critical Role which averages 4 hour episodes (though I don't make detailed commentary on those). 9:45 I'm going to have to pay closer attention now, I've never noticed the extra harmony before. (Also, the song may not be on Spotify yet, as they're likely waiting for the full game before releasing the OST, but there is a video of it on Supergiant's UA-cam channel) 10:54 Probably just there because the trial has you using the Aspect of Circe. 12:29 Honestly, it sort of begs the question of how much control the Fates have. Do they plan the events to unfold, or do they simply foresee what's coming and weave it into being? Or some combination of the two? 13:17 At least she's self-aware. 19:53 Honestly, that description makes Chaos sound like a Lovecraftian Eldritch Horror. (Which probably isn't the least accurate assessment) 21:30 Well, I feel like a person who was thrown off of the mountain their family lives on because they were considered too ugly at birth (actual event from mythology) probably wouldn't want too much time around said family. 25:50 So, apparently Hestia and Apollo accidentally set half of Olympus on fire at some point? 26:00 Not sure how I feel about that Duo Boon, it feels like a somewhat weaker version of Stubborn Roots from the first game. How often, especially during some of the boss fights, are you going to go 3+ seconds without dealing or taking damage? Whereas Stubborn Roots was passive HP regen so long as you had no Death Defiances left. 30:15 I honestly love when Gods in media actually acknowledge that they are not perfect. Moros here is directly stating that he's capable of making mistakes. 32:07 'Have you considered not dying?" Zag, sarcastically: "I haven't" 33:35 Looking through the codex, it seems a bunch of people are ready to go fishing once you get enough Driftwood to unlock it. 34:30 I mean, it is a 4 eye trial. And yeah, 5 minute time limit. 46:14 I feel like it really just boiled down to Nyx simply accepting her children as they were. Though she definitely had limits to her patience, remember when Hades had the audacity to try to talk down to her? 49:45 I think that's the longest Nectar conversation we've ever had. Also, I'm starting to feel like some of Hecate's guilt comes from the fact that, as she stated, she's using Mel, but at the same time, she also likely considers Mel like a daughter on some level due to having raised her, so it ends up feeling as though she's using her own daughter. 51:18 As I've been watching, I think I've realized that, during the tutorial screen for the Vows, when it said that more would appear as you complete them, it was meaning that once you've completed a testament and gotten the Nightmare from it, a new one, with a higher fear requirement, replaces it. 53:45 Star Dust has some power over consciousness? So, it may end up being used to wake Hypnos. 1:02:18 I love how that freeze frame makes it look like Mel's just yeeting the axe at Hecate. 1:05:00 I love the tongue in cheek humor of these games. What makes it slightly funnier is the fact that, if I'm remembering correctly, Homer (a.k.a. the Narrator) was the one that wrote the Odyssey. 1:18:25 I think that may be a reference to the Trojan War. In the myths, if I'm remembering the details correctly, the Trojan War was started because Aphrodite, Athena, and Hestia asked Paris which of them was the prettiest, each offering him something if they answered for them. Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful mortal woman to be his wife, so he chose her. The problem was, the most beautiful women was Helen of Troy, who happened to already be married to the king of Troy, who didn't take too kindly to his wife being abducted to marry someone else. 1:20:21 I get the feeling Nem's heard all of his stories many times. I think this may be my longest comment. I've noticed over the past several videos that most of my comments happened during the segments in the Crossroads, since that's where the most story and character moments happen, so having multiple segments in the crossroads meant more moments for me to comment on.
You're such a nerd Digi! S-sugoi! Thanks, I feel reassured. Regardless, the more I thought about it, I rather not subject you to a 2 hr long episode. Maybe once and awhile occasions like today's episode. And ig there lies the compromise in that! Spotify does have the basic Hades 2 playlist, but not the featured artists bonuses! I get the feeling that this'll be experienced unique to game only, which I guess is okay. Another comment informed me that someone made a video of Roxy and Jetty harmonizing! Regarding the Fates, I always thought it was the former, but Moros has me thinking it could be both ^ That Chaos description was so badass! If Selene already functions as the Eye of the surface. The idea of an even more ancient Eye watching Selene and beyond is very Lovecraftian, mmm~ You know, I'm still slightly bothered that Hephaestus isn't ugly at all. Well, the rest of me is pleased. I don't think I like the Duo Boon much either. Stubborn Roots is the closest resemblance ^ the minus 100 max HP is not nice. It's refreshing! It's even better because Moros uses his position to call out other gods. We can't have mortals doing the same without consequences. I can't unhear Hypnos whenever there's quotation marks lmao. Nyx had her patience challenged then and from the description of Aspect of Momus, even Nyx wouldn't tolerate him no further lol. About that Hecate nectar, that's another layer I'm stealing Digi, thanks. Hmmm! Saving my Star dust!! We love the freeze frames. Thanks for the Homer and Helen lore! Ya, what a comment! Ig I'll that in mind for dedicated Chaos episodes.
With regards to the Chaos Trials that are giving you problems, would it help to upgrade the weapon aspects and feed the pets that go with you? Not that I know anything about video game strategy.
I do think the upgrades may carry over to the Trials. I just looked and it seems Toula would give you extra Defiances? Hmm! Worth a shot, thank you Mystery.
I'll repeat what I said last time: quality over quantity! I really appreciate your light commentary and I'd be sad to see less of it. I'm p sure it's one of the main reasons people watch these videos tbh. I'd keep the current format as is, but if you decide to post more vids with less text I'd understand. Regarding video lenght: I already watch all episodes, but sometimes don't get the time to comment on them. With longer episodes I'd still watch all, but maybe I'd be able to comment even less. Or only comment about certain parts Oh yeah the other two sirens always sing backup vocals during the fight! I think it's more noticeable when Scylla goes in her shell, Jetty and Roxy will continue signing while Scylla gets muffled. Oh man... Nem is starting to win me over ngl... Hephaestus saying "some humans worship labrys you know"...does he mean lesbians? That's such a funny reference what Wow... I think that Hecate interaction might be my favorite in the whole game yet
I never realized til now about the Sirens! This game mang. I'm starting to see it with Nem, uh oh. Is it happening? (I think it will happen) That'd be funny! But I'm doubtful. Would like to see more queer, but far as I see, Hades is very casual about it. And it's funny I just told you my favorite, only to be topped by this one. That was wild! I see your points Alej! Thanks very much for the inputs, I'll keep them in mind. Tbh, I think the new format will be too weird, but I'll give it a try. I may do the first three as my testing pigs. And the more I looked into it, the more I feel there could be exceptions. I'll hold further thoughts after my pigs let loose.
Honestly, i think you've kinda gotten it right on the first try, the videos aren't monsterously long and text amount is good as is. Make your videos the way you want to, ya know?

5:29 Yeah, that seems like a common theme for second regions. First game had Tartarus with lava everywhere, now Oceanus has steam vent and water spouts.
In regards to your whole TedTalk, do whatever you think is best. And don't worry about my time or comments, I watch Critical Role which averages 4 hour episodes (though I don't make detailed commentary on those).
9:45 I'm going to have to pay closer attention now, I've never noticed the extra harmony before. (Also, the song may not be on Spotify yet, as they're likely waiting for the full game before releasing the OST, but there is a video of it on Supergiant's UA-cam channel)
10:54 Probably just there because the trial has you using the Aspect of Circe.
12:29 Honestly, it sort of begs the question of how much control the Fates have. Do they plan the events to unfold, or do they simply foresee what's coming and weave it into being? Or some combination of the two?
13:17 At least she's self-aware.
19:53 Honestly, that description makes Chaos sound like a Lovecraftian Eldritch Horror. (Which probably isn't the least accurate assessment)
21:30 Well, I feel like a person who was thrown off of the mountain their family lives on because they were considered too ugly at birth (actual event from mythology) probably wouldn't want too much time around said family.
25:50 So, apparently Hestia and Apollo accidentally set half of Olympus on fire at some point?
26:00 Not sure how I feel about that Duo Boon, it feels like a somewhat weaker version of Stubborn Roots from the first game. How often, especially during some of the boss fights, are you going to go 3+ seconds without dealing or taking damage? Whereas Stubborn Roots was passive HP regen so long as you had no Death Defiances left.
30:15 I honestly love when Gods in media actually acknowledge that they are not perfect. Moros here is directly stating that he's capable of making mistakes.
32:07 'Have you considered not dying?" Zag, sarcastically: "I haven't"
33:35 Looking through the codex, it seems a bunch of people are ready to go fishing once you get enough Driftwood to unlock it.
34:30 I mean, it is a 4 eye trial. And yeah, 5 minute time limit.
46:14 I feel like it really just boiled down to Nyx simply accepting her children as they were. Though she definitely had limits to her patience, remember when Hades had the audacity to try to talk down to her?
49:45 I think that's the longest Nectar conversation we've ever had. Also, I'm starting to feel like some of Hecate's guilt comes from the fact that, as she stated, she's using Mel, but at the same time, she also likely considers Mel like a daughter on some level due to having raised her, so it ends up feeling as though she's using her own daughter.
51:18 As I've been watching, I think I've realized that, during the tutorial screen for the Vows, when it said that more would appear as you complete them, it was meaning that once you've completed a testament and gotten the Nightmare from it, a new one, with a higher fear requirement, replaces it.
53:45 Star Dust has some power over consciousness? So, it may end up being used to wake Hypnos.
1:02:18 I love how that freeze frame makes it look like Mel's just yeeting the axe at Hecate.
1:05:00 I love the tongue in cheek humor of these games. What makes it slightly funnier is the fact that, if I'm remembering correctly, Homer (a.k.a. the Narrator) was the one that wrote the Odyssey.
1:18:25 I think that may be a reference to the Trojan War. In the myths, if I'm remembering the details correctly, the Trojan War was started because Aphrodite, Athena, and Hestia asked Paris which of them was the prettiest, each offering him something if they answered for them. Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful mortal woman to be his wife, so he chose her. The problem was, the most beautiful women was Helen of Troy, who happened to already be married to the king of Troy, who didn't take too kindly to his wife being abducted to marry someone else.
1:20:21 I get the feeling Nem's heard all of his stories many times.
I think this may be my longest comment. I've noticed over the past several videos that most of my comments happened during the segments in the Crossroads, since that's where the most story and character moments happen, so having multiple segments in the crossroads meant more moments for me to comment on.
You're such a nerd Digi! S-sugoi! Thanks, I feel reassured. Regardless, the more I thought about it, I rather not subject you to a 2 hr long episode. Maybe once and awhile occasions like today's episode. And ig there lies the compromise in that!
Spotify does have the basic Hades 2 playlist, but not the featured artists bonuses! I get the feeling that this'll be experienced unique to game only, which I guess is okay. Another comment informed me that someone made a video of Roxy and Jetty harmonizing!
Regarding the Fates, I always thought it was the former, but Moros has me thinking it could be both ^
That Chaos description was so badass! If Selene already functions as the Eye of the surface. The idea of an even more ancient Eye watching Selene and beyond is very Lovecraftian, mmm~
You know, I'm still slightly bothered that Hephaestus isn't ugly at all. Well, the rest of me is pleased.
I don't think I like the Duo Boon much either. Stubborn Roots is the closest resemblance ^ the minus 100 max HP is not nice.
It's refreshing! It's even better because Moros uses his position to call out other gods. We can't have mortals doing the same without consequences.
I can't unhear Hypnos whenever there's quotation marks lmao.
Nyx had her patience challenged then and from the description of Aspect of Momus, even Nyx wouldn't tolerate him no further lol.
About that Hecate nectar, that's another layer I'm stealing Digi, thanks.
Hmmm! Saving my Star dust!!
We love the freeze frames.
Thanks for the Homer and Helen lore!
Ya, what a comment! Ig I'll that in mind for dedicated Chaos episodes.
With regards to the Chaos Trials that are giving you problems, would it help to upgrade the weapon aspects and feed the pets that go with you? Not that I know anything about video game strategy.
I do think the upgrades may carry over to the Trials. I just looked and it seems Toula would give you extra Defiances? Hmm! Worth a shot, thank you Mystery.
1:05:39 I think the word they're looking for is "Odyssey"
Right, i started to get the joke sometime after. The Melinoey it is!
I'll repeat what I said last time: quality over quantity! I really appreciate your light commentary and I'd be sad to see less of it. I'm p sure it's one of the main reasons people watch these videos tbh.
I'd keep the current format as is, but if you decide to post more vids with less text I'd understand.
Regarding video lenght: I already watch all episodes, but sometimes don't get the time to comment on them. With longer episodes I'd still watch all, but maybe I'd be able to comment even less. Or only comment about certain parts
Oh yeah the other two sirens always sing backup vocals during the fight! I think it's more noticeable when Scylla goes in her shell, Jetty and Roxy will continue signing while Scylla gets muffled.
Oh man... Nem is starting to win me over ngl...
Hephaestus saying "some humans worship labrys you know"...does he mean lesbians? That's such a funny reference what
Wow... I think that Hecate interaction might be my favorite in the whole game yet
I never realized til now about the Sirens! This game mang.
I'm starting to see it with Nem, uh oh. Is it happening? (I think it will happen)
That'd be funny! But I'm doubtful. Would like to see more queer, but far as I see, Hades is very casual about it.
And it's funny I just told you my favorite, only to be topped by this one. That was wild!
I see your points Alej! Thanks very much for the inputs, I'll keep them in mind. Tbh, I think the new format will be too weird, but I'll give it a try. I may do the first three as my testing pigs. And the more I looked into it, the more I feel there could be exceptions. I'll hold further thoughts after my pigs let loose.
Yesterday I dreamt that Hypnos woke up, is this a message O Sleep?
I swear I had two Hades dreams after Mel's dream of Hades. Was kind of a dark dream ngl.
