Oh hey, I actually have some things to talk about!
I noticed that Aoife from Eurogamer had done a Hades stream! So I decided to watch it! And bounced off it completely! I think, in part, because Aoife was streaming assuming most people watching knew what she was talking about, and I did not! Also because, much like Nier Automata, I think it would be more fun to play myself, which alas I cannot do (I don't PC game, and I don't own a Switch. I will just have to hope it comes to PS4 one day, sigh). If you check out this stream, beware of spoilers!
And then Johnny from Dicebreaker did an eight hour stream yesterday afternoon/evening to raise money for Mind. For the first four hours, he played Hades, and he started a new game, right from the very beginning, and I didn't bounce off it as hard this time, because I had more of a sense of what's going on. I still think it would be more fun to play than watch, though.
Also Nyx can absolutely step on me any time she wants to.
(I'd already seen the art for the game a while back on twitter, but I'd forgotten about the designs so much so I was expecting Ares to look like a body builder, and he didn't, and that was refreshing).

Aoife and Ian have been streaming the remake of Demon's Souls (Part 1: beginning to end of World 1-2 | Part 2: World 2-1 and other misc bits).
I am only familiar with it through Ian's streams of the original, which he's been doing on his personal channel (I kind of hope he'll continue with them, but I have a feeling he might not). But it's nice to have the really recent memory to know where places are and what things look like in comparison. And the remake looks really nice! It looks a lot better lit! The environments don't look as muddy! etc.
I also noticed they've completely redone the soundtrack, which I wonder how that went down with fans of the original (I know there were complaints about some enemy redesigns so...yeah...it probably didn't go down too well).
Luke from Outside Xtra has also been streaming the Demon's Souls remake. Like with Bloodborne, he has absolutely no experience with the game, doesn't know what he's doing, or where he's going. He got to the end of World 1-1 in this stream.

I think this is all I have for the moment, though no doubt I'll think of stuff as soon as I switch the computer off, because ain't that always the way!
