How did the greeks feel about black people? Even if they tolerated them idk if they loved them enough to worship...

The "Ethiopans" (probably from what's now Sudan) play a prominent role in the Iliad.
In the 1990s there was a controversy about the "Black Athena" book that claimed the Greek gods were black. Which is r-slurred. But there was an equally r-slurred pushback by chud academics claiming the Greek gods were Greek. Really they were from Anatolia, Mesopotamia, maybe Egypt. They could have been black, the Greeks would have had no problem with that. It just happens they weren't.

I don't see what's wrong with this. Doesn't it make sense one of the most syncretist pantheons in world includes different races? What historical authenticity is lost when (omg) they made a 3000 year old god no one believes in brown?

Gods reflect the society that worships them. Its just weird to have gods look different from the society that created them. I wouldnt expect african bush gods to be mayoid, or jap ghosts to know how to drive.
Tbh i cant bring myself to care the slightest bit about this. Its ahit that they force this dicersity for political reasons and admit it, but you cant seethe about everything.

tbf i would expect the only people that worship Greek gods today to look exactly like that. but the people that "created" them are dead by a thousand years, so who cares
the greeks were hugely syncretist, especially into the roman period. they also worshiped isis, an Egyptian god. now Egyptian KANGS and what not, yt egyptians are not. or manicheanism etc.
its an indie studio with like 20 people in it. i cannot get upset at these few people re-imagining old stories in new ways. plus, these stories and characters are so old, why not make some of them brownoids? race is such a non-factor so nothing is lost and its more appealing to the brownoids that make and play it. its like saying it would be weird for non-yts to play anything but othello in Shakespeare. maybe but why would i seethe if i saw someone doing it?

For some reason I don't mind that they made the goddess who's the housekeeper of the gods and who got stepped on by Dionysus the reincarnation of Mammy. It just seems fitting. I mean we can't have a white woman in that position.

Hades is a roguelite, not a roguelike.

It identifies as a roguelike, also roguelites are just upscaled arcade games with added lore.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
This is somewhat incorrect
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I never said it was a real roguelike (I personally think that a roguelike requires many characteristics, including permadeath, procedural generation, non-deterministic combat, identification, turn-based combat, an inventory, interactions between items, and being forced to eventually make a decision that harms you in some way to progress), but it's advertised as one, and the definition of roguelite in 2024 is just "game where you get powerups" (turn-basedness, procedural generation, or even permadeath are not used in many of the most popular roguelites, many of them do not even have an inventory and replace identification with pure randomization of available items). Notice that most arcade games, if remade with the processing power and graphics of a modern computer in mind, would fit in the definition of roguelite.

I've never gotten around to playing the first game because of the straggy artstyle. Apparently it's the greatest thing in the world, but I wouldn't know because all the art is tumblr-core to the max.

Bastion was pretty sweet, although I guess it's disappeared from public consciousness slowly. Back then it was one of the like 10 indie darlings everyone was talking about. I guess Supergiant is still technically "indie", although the label doesn't have the impact it did ~12 years ago.
I played Transistor for less than an hour, it just didn't grab me. I also think G*mergate had made me an r-slured chud and it bothered me that the black voice actor played the love interest.

I can't fricking take it anymore. I see an image of a random reformist and then I see it, I fricking see it. It started as "Oh that looks kinda like the Deng guy, that's funny, that's a cool reference." But it kept going, I'd see a policy that looked like Dengism, I'd see an act that looked like Dengism, I'd see a bill that looked like Dengism. And every time I'd burst into an insane, breath deprived laugh staring at the image as the words DENGIST ran through my head. It's torment, psychological torture, I am being conditioned to laugh manically any time I see a reform in an manifesto. I can't fricking live like this... I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't! And don't get me fricking started on the words! I'll never hear the word suspicious again without thinking of Dengism. Someone does something good and I can't say anything other than "Deng." I could watch a man tear down everything I love and all I would be able to say is "Dengism" and laugh like a fricking insane person. And the word "Reform" is ruined. The phrase "reformist ideology" is ruined. I can't live anymore. Dengism has destroyed my fricking life. I want to reform myself from this plane of existence. MAKE IT STOP!
