I agree that the team that actually played the game having won was satisfying, but it was so little compared to the massive blundering.
I'm looking forward to Sam/Amy (Samamy?) next season. I really believe Amy can carry Sam, which - if it happens - will prove that Sam needs to be carried in team games.

Just finished the episode and I am so disappointed. I was hoping Sam and Mike would bring it back after the last episode of blunders, but they continued with just throwing away sure ways to win and choosing to go for some crazy risks, which were also blundered by Sam in the worst of ways... I really thought Mike choosing an orange rock with black stripes for the tiger was very clever. But Sam just decided to focus on the obvious pig and over think it so hard.
Overall a very interesting season, I liked the format and there was a fair bit of "sightseeing" (the pagodas were really interesting and made me want to actually go and visit them) The last two episodes of blunders really left a sour taste though and I know how "playing form the couch" can be so much easier compared to actually being there, but some of these things were very obvious misplays. I'm not firmly team Badam or Sam/whomever, but this time I really wanted to see Sam/Mike take win, more so because Mike seemed so on top of the game (which would continue the trend of Sam getting carried). But it is what it is.

I had picked it up for PS4 a few years ago, but only played about an hour and stopped - didn't really grab me at the time, there were better things to play etc. Now I got the PS5 upgrade and am almost at the end of the game, going for almost full completion (not sure if I'll want to go for the Platinum, depends on what I have left after finishing the bulk of the game).
I'm enjoying it playing on Medium. Thought about bumping the difficulty up, but realized I'm enjoying the cinematic combat very much and a higher difficulty would change that a bit. This is probably the aspect of the game I enjoy the most - I'm taking all the fights I can and always starting with a standoff if possible. Going in stealthily and quietly is okay as well, but it feels like the system is a bit wonky (as most stealth is in games).
Apart from the combat, the other aspects are also okay. I really enjoy the diegetic aspects - having wind act as a waypoint guide, the yellow birds showing side objectives and of course the foxes. But overall I think the world is a bit too big and samey. Some of the Tales (the game's word for quests) really made me feel some feels though, which honestly I wasn't expecting.
Overall a good-but-not-great game. Beautiful to look at and spent time with.
P.S. I'll probably get Ghost of Yotei in the future.

I played Returnal on PC and I loved it, from what I've seen of Saros I would love it as well, BUT I'm not very keen on the controller aspect. Only other "shooter" game I've played with a controller (on PS5) was The Last of Us series. I played it on Easy and even then had some deaths and frustrations because of joystick aiming. Is there auto-aim in Saros? I'm really on the fence about this... Even wondering if there would be a way to hook up a KB+M and play it like that.
P.S. I also played Death Stranding 2 on the PS5 and avoided shooting as much as possible.

I know imgur is mostly trash, but the way navigation works is actually good for what I need it - just mindless scrolling to put me to sleep. And the quality of the memes also helps, if they're too good I actually want to engage with them. I only do it on my phone and honestly it does the job great.

I'll just offer one basic tip, which you're most likely already doing - always focus the Bull first in the fight. Good luck, Hades is an amazing game. I'll be playing Hades 2 very soon, as soon as I get trough all these other amazing games which released this past month.

I'm not at my PC right now so I can't even remember the names of some of them, so I'll maybe do a bit of a longer writeup, plus I'll try and finish the rest by Monday since I don't know what would be playable after that.

Here's a video by them going into detail about some of the problems with carbon offsets - https://youtube.com/watch?v=AW3gaelBypY
Because of this I believe they've done their research and are not just intending to greenwash their activities by putting up the carbon offset counter. And while I do agree that not emitting is infinitely better than trying to be "net zero" by buying offsets, this is not feasible in all cases (I mean they could just not.make the show, but at that point... you get the idea) -

We used to do this as kids growing up on the seaside when going to see the sunrise.
