You've heard about Mini mum, Mini scule, and Mini ature… but have you heard about Zig zag‽

A few weeks ago, friends and colleagues of mine (I was not involved) published this incredible new species of legless skink that makes distinctive zig-zag markings in the sand as it 'swims' through it.

So they called it Zig zag.

ZIG ZAG, CORAL!

Gosh I love this new era of whimsy-driven taxonomy.

I honestly think the issue with the hades 2 ending is purely a writing one unfortunately—specifically in how they begin and end the game properly, but don't allow melinoë the time to reach that ending herself.

They built the theme of ending cycles and letting go and bettering your circumstances over forever being miserable rather well actually. Melinoe grapples with it a lot in her travels when you think about it: with arachne, with dora, with echo. In every one of those scenarios, she realizes that anger and revenge for an eternity would not resolve the issue at hand. In dora's she even almost reaches the point where she realizes that dora has a right to revenge... and that revenge would mean her own family and friends' dying because they are the ones who wronged her. But she always falls short of applying it to her own situation—continuously she approaches the cusp of realizing her own immortal community are not filled with good people and that the solution is actually to become better going forwards... only to the immediately drop it when it comes to applying it directly to her own situation.

Because that's what both games grapple with, isn't it? Family cycles of hatred and anger except also ur family is immortal and u are too so you can't actually just leave. It's about making your own life better because you deserve it over an eternity of being stuck in an endless loop of hatred. That's what the whole point is. But the problem is they cut the ending short of melinoë coming to that realization herself and having her figure out what that means for her by shifting all the responsibility of it to zagreus (who notably already reached that point in his own game)
