Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Just woke up with another headache again from yesterday's exam. How was everyone's sleep?
Not very well, to be honest. Had some difficulty falling asleep for some reason.

I slept sensationally though it was a little cold last night, I had to cuddle up with my covers.
I stayed up late, I couldn't hewp it. The comics I was reading of Baby Blues were so funny!

Well, I'm glad you guys slept well and had fun reading comics too. For breakfast I'm gonna have a lot of coffee to get perked up a bit.
Probably some diet soda would be nice for me as well. Afterwards I have to continue working on homework.

Not a lot happening today, eh? Can't blame anyone, I have a pile of work in front of me too.

Well important work comes first before fun stuff. Not much has been happening outside of usual lately.
Like the late days of April been so uneventful. I hope May will kick things into gear.

Standardized wake and maintenance cycles would be a rough equivalent. 6 of each I'll ask Tesh to start keeping a toll.
Naming each one would likely mean your natural death would come before I am even finished a quarter of the way through.

Wow, I'm sorry you guys had such a rough upbringing.
My father was strict, but he wasn't outright abusive like that. The only time he ever really hurt me was when he [REDACTED FOR THE SECIRITY OF THE EMPIRE] me, and even then it wasn't his choice.
My father actually was a pretty bad parent. The Knights of Jove pretty much had me born just to inherit the Storm King's title, and my father wanted me to effectively be his political chess piece. The fact that he was one of Lucrezia's most fanatical allies didn't help.
Erm... Not that it's any kind of competition, but my father was Kronos of all people. He ate me. I spent my childhood inside his stomach.

It seems like, for some reason, we all have work today. I have to do a ton of spot checks on the army that'll probably consume most of today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
Same here. Lot's of dead people all trying to get into the underworld at once.

Dealing with the dead sounds like one hell of a job.
I bet it's more interesting than the usual school stuff we've helping Buttercup with.
Hey, you guys (Yumemitchi and Kiraritchi) make it way more fun than by myself. I'd probably be asleep otherwise.

Speaking of dead things, I've been deciding to experiment with a new typing, so I've picked Ghost. I've always thought Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon are quite similar, so I'm trying to see how they differ as well.
Spooky things are pretty cool, so I think that's a great idea!

Isn’t there already a Ghost-Type Gym Leader in Galar? Shy little kid, constantly wearing a mask? I don’t remember his name…

Yep, my name's Allister. I personally don't see anything wrong with people having the same or similar type specialties or having multiple ones at the same time. It all just comes down to preference or experimentation.
Hey Allister! By the way, have you seen any So Bad, It's Good movies recently?
I did see that M. Night Shyamalan flick The Happening. "What? No!" Hehe.

So it turns out that my professor for theoretical informatics has a sense of humour, because he has an alter ego called "Dr. Evilsparza", whose aim it is to make life as difficult as possible for the students. I'm definitely looking forward to this semester now.
[1] Good luck getting through your piles of work. Say, Hades, do you analyze the flow of people arriving in Tartarus on anything else besides their morality?
Also, Albedo, if you're reading this, do you mind if I visit your lab on the weekends?

Hello Allister! Welcome to the thread, I'm Chamametchi!
I'm Hapihapitchi, it's great to see another Pokemon trainer join us! aroo.
And I'm Momotchi, I dig that spooky look you got there Allister (kinda reminds me of Shy Guy).

Nice to meet you guys. How was everyone's day so far, by the way?
Okay, though final exams are approaching for the school semester and I'm trying not to drown in this new barrage of assignments and study work.
Same here. We just try to do our best. It's okay if we make mistakes or get a lower score than anticipated for the exams.

Our day has been pretty nice, surprisingly it's much warmer this afternoon than the fridged morning we had.
We did a little shopping earlier, got us some health supplies and food to enjoy! aroo.
One of our friendly neighbors gave us a cool chair for free since they felt like they didn't have any use for it.

Gonna go run around the lake for an exercise since I didn't have time earlier in the day to do so until now.
Let me join you. I need some exercise too.
Awesome! Have fun on your run!

Sorry for my late reply, but:
Well, yes. I have to make sure there's enough space — and if there's not, find ways to make more space. There is also the factor of making sure that when souls get here, they don't try to sneak to different parts of the underworld or leave the underworld itself. Then there's, for lack of a better term, personal considerations.
Also, very few dead people go to Tartarus. I assume you just got that mixed up with the underworld in general, yes? Because Tartarus is mostly monsters.

1 Not at all! I am often working on weekends, though. Mondstadt doesn't stop having problems just because it's a weekend. In fact, I would wager that more problems are caused, on account of Klee being out of school and/or solitary on weekends.
That girl is a menace. But she's cute, so we keep her around.

[1] Yep, mixed that up, my bad. Have you ever taken a look at things like age distributions, country of birth/place of death, gender, social status, that kinda stuff? I know you may not have any reason to collect that data, but in my homeworld, organizations try to do analytics on large chunks of populations all the time to see what they need to optimize for, so I am curious.
[2] Makes sense. I'll drop by when I have the time, then - hopefully Klee won't have blown up too much.

Oh, of course! Sorry I misread your original question: I thought that you were asking if we take those sorts of details into account in our decisions. But you're just asking if we keep record of them, yes?
As I said: Yes, we do keep track of that. We don't look back on those records too often, at least not for most people, but yes, we do indeed keep those records around just in case.
Do you ask because you were curious about them?

I would've been curious if the collected data showed any interesting patterns or trends - for instance, if not all the population goes to your underworld after death, which kind of person would most likely end up in the underworld and where they would most likely be from.

[1] That's cute, I sometimes sleep in my trusty violin. It sometimes leads me to musical dreams.
How lovely, songs usually help me to a good trip to slumber land.
Ain't that funny sis! The fact that work saved us from getting drenched is quite funny to me. It still remains to be on the cold side again so we'll gear up for today.
