  • I only buy womens shampoos and conditioner, because after a hiatus i have been growing out my hair again (already below the shoulders), and womens hair care products are in my experience a lot more viable for taking care of long hair. While they were short, i did not give much of a fuck.

    I do like some male-branded shower gels tho, especially the ones with an ice effect - it just feels really nice on the skin for me, and they smell fine.

    Regarding shaving i have gone back to the roots. I did get myself a safety razor, because these multiblade things were destroying my skin and it is a lot cheaper too. Only took a few shavings (and about 5ml of blood lol) to get the hang of it, similar to learning how to shave in the first place. Women, if my face is finally happy after years of torture, then these things are probably fine for you too, even when there’s no marketing for it at all!

    The focus of Dead Cells and Hades is in different directions: while Dead Cells lives from generating well designed combat areas, Hades lives from using procedural generation to combine story elements. Both are an example of how you can fit pieces together without making stuff linear.

    I spent thousands of hours on that game, and i know i haven’t seen everything yet (mostly because my reaction times suck nowadays - if it had come out a decade sooner, i would have 100%ed it, but that’s not the fault of the game). I still come back to it every few months.

    Both the Steam Indie and the Itch.io games are valid ways! Also, procedural generation does NOT have to be bland. Dead Cells - my preferred Metroidvania (will stay that way probably until the day i die), and Hades I/II are the best examples how random generation can generate completely acceptable and enjoyable gameplay experiences. Give the generator enough pieces to work with and make sure they fit together regardless of how you mix&match them, and you got a pretty good thing going. Add tight controls and clear visuals for anything gameplay-relevant, make sure random bullshit doesn’t punish too harshly, and give the player control about how hard the game gets, and you probably have something that will pay the bills.
