Best “guest” boon giver?

I dunno what these folk are officially called, but they’re represented with cupped hands offering you a gift. There’s way more of them than in Hades 1 and I think they add a lot to the game.

But I’ve never seen a tier list ranking of them. Off the top of my head, there’s:

Arachne
Medea
Circe
Icarus
Athena
Dionysus
Hades
Artemis
Chaos (I guess counts?)
Echo
Narcissus (edit: this is the one I forgot lol)

Am I missing any?

Personally I think Artemis is best cause you usually get her early and pressure points is still amazing in Hades 2. Echo has potential to be best if you play into her “Pom Pom Pom…” gift. Dionysus is hilarious and the one I always skip is Medea cause I’ve never seen her offer anything that seems worth wasting a chamber on.

What do yall think? Who is the best “gift” giver

I was a ReelShort editor who got laid off to be replaced with AI, AMA

This isn’t a real AMA, but I’ll answer any questions yall ask me

Edited for 1.5 years. Edited such BANGERS as My sister is the Warlord Queen, The Adjuster (the Luigi Mangione based drama) and most recently Take Me Back to the Night We Met. The storylines were bizarre and borderline fetishistic, the editing could get very repetitive, but it was fun and a consistent pay check. All be it, one that could have been bigger. But it came with benefits so hey, sweet.

And then 3 weeks ago I got laid off. Told me “the company is growing in new directions.” Which is never good news for an employee. After the zoom call with HR my manager DM’d me on Instagram and informed me that it was because one of their AI shows did big numbers and now the company was going to fully pivot into AI generated shows.

Apart from the frustration, I just can’t understand the short sightedness. I have no doubt that the shareholders will make a buck in the short term. But in the long term, this isn’t sustainable. It pretty much nukes the brand they spent years making. I was surprised at the fandom for ReelShort, but I have to imagine long term fans would feel slighted. Feels like one big rug pull if you ask me.

Going to Glacier, any advice?

Been doing research but figured I’d go to the source and ask here. I know timing windows are tight for parking and the shuttle requires waiting till the night before to sign up. Otherwise, any advice or wisdom you can bestow? We’re two fairly experienced and in shape hikers.

[Help] I’m making the wedding toppers for my wedding, what’s material should I use?

I’m making the wedding toppers for my wedding cake, what’s the best material to use?

Howdy yall, getting married in September and my bride to be asked me to make the wedding toppers. I typically work in polymer (stop motion gang rise up) but I don’t think that polymer clay is the way to go with this as when hardened in the oven, it’s too fragile and soft.

I was wondering what’s my best option for making these bad boys? I have three questions:

  1. What is the hardest polymer clay you can buy that bakes in the oven? I’m chill with painting the figures after baking.

  2. Should I just get traditional mineral clay and fire it in a kiln somewhere?

  3. Should I go the mold/cast route and use hard design to create the toppers?

Thanks!

Audio clips defaulting to dual mono, how to change to just 1 track

Hello! Recently, my premiere timelines have all been doing this silly little thing where when I drag music or SFX onto the timeline, it drags with 2 identical tracks. If I go to “modify” on the clip, sure enough, the default is now 2 tracks. Until recently, it was just 1 track. To solve this issue, I can modify every audio clip individually so it produces 1 tracks. But I’d love to just set the default to 1 like it was until very recently. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks!

Job switch

Hey editors -

Was approached about a job as an assistant editor for a tv show on a major network. I’d be working with the director, so it’d be a great opportunity to advance my career and meet new people. Thing is, I already have a full time job editing mobile soap operas (you know the ones)

My current job doesn’t pay that much, but it’s work from home, comes with benefits, and is a consistent 9-5

The tv show pays much more, but would see me getting back on the freelance wheel, tho not exactly the same thing as standard freelance gigs as it lasts a while and usually leads to another afterwards.

My dream goal is writer/director. So I think the tv show is the way to go to continue to meet people and advance my career portfolio. The soap opera feels a little dead end, but is super comfortable.

So I don’t really have a question, more so I’ve reached a fork in the road and am mulling over the options i have to pick from.

Have any of yall done AE for a tv show before? Or worked on the major tv show freelance circuit? Should I forgo my comfortable wfh benefits job for something that might truly take me to the next level?
