That Liliana Temult account on Twitter is un-ironically the funniest shit there is simply no way to mentally prepare myself for what shows up every time I check on that page
Unpopular opinion: Oaki is precious and the happy little dance they do at the end makes following them through the woods worth it.
I was so excited to see the new trailer for BoTW2. It looks like another open world with a revamped map, and the Talus with Bokoblins on top is super cool. Can't wait for 2022.
Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead.
Bowing low.
Bared head.
Whispers to cold flesh,

I rename you ‘Everything.’”
I have been playing a ton of Hades after the Hades II trailer got me hooked. Currently about 80 hours in, and I noticed something that made me speculate on the Chronos storyline.
Basically I think the Satyr Cultists that Zagreus encounters in the Temple of Styx are actually worshippers of Chronos, and their activity is directly linked to the titan's escape from imprisonment in the sequel.
This is the Codex entry for Satyr Cultists taken from the wiki:
When I first read it, I found it strange that Hades, the immensely powerful God of the Dead, would be worried about some goat-people freeloading in a temple so far above his residing domain in Tartarus. Also why is the satyrs' hatred for Hades so pronounced? This feels like one of the unresolved plot points in the first game that is more than likely to be expanded in the sequel.
Achilles's Codex entry calls satyrs "vermin-worshippers". I first assumed this to mean the satyrs worship the rats they share the temple with, but that just felt odd. Then during my runs passing through the Temple of Styx, I noticed that there are statues of vipers/snakes everywhere.
There is also the hostile Snakestone mob that sometimes can be found in the same room as Satyr Cultists. According to Achilles's Codex:
"..the boorish satyrs despoiling the surface seem to take up residence in the same spaces, and may well be to blame for these nuisances, as they are for many others."
So it is implied that the satyrs built the Snakestones, and by extension I suspect that the snake, and not the rats, is the actual subject of worship for this "cult".
And in Greek mythology, the snake is, interestingly, a symbol of Cronus, the King of the Titans.
Here is an article I found that mentions the relationship between Cronus/Chronos (Hades II is conflating these two figures it looks like) the snake, particularly in Orphic poetry. Apparently in some versions, Cronus has the lower half body of a snake.
The game tells us that the satyrs are openly antagonistic towards the House of Hades. Maybe their hatred comes from Chronos being defeated and eventually held hostage in Hades's domain?
Also worth mentioning that while the origin of the word "satyr" is unclear, it has been speculated that the name is related to the root "sat-", which means "to sow". Remarkably, it is also the root of Saturn, a.k.a. the Roman equivalent of Cronus.
TLDR: The satyrs cult Zagreus fights in the Temple of Styx may in fact be worshippers of Chronos, as evidenced by the abundance of snake motifs and artifacts in their lair. The satyrs may have a role in Chronos escaping imprisonment in Tartarus, leading to the events of Hades II.

Starting to think the Superman/Clark Kent thing has some merit because I just went to a party wearing contacts and goth makeup and not a single one of my friends recognized me - including people I've known since freshman year
Low effort meme post feat. Link and the Champions from Zelda: Breath of the Wild because there is not enough memes of these idiots as a group
Based on in-game emotes I conclude that Vi is the girlfriend who knows all the sick moves while Cait actually can't dance to save her life.
Bonus:
Tried to build a Blood Hunter/Psi Warrior multiclass. Halfway through filling out the pc sheet I am now bleeding from my pores
I really like dungeon meshi, so take this bit of propaganda
