Someone beat Hades with a pomegranate controller and didn't even get an achievement

A YouTube streamer has managed to beat Hades using a pomegranate that's been cut u𝔍p into pieces and rigged into the messiest controller ever.

You can check out YouTuber Rudeism's first attempt above, which details the process of actually🙈 setting up the controller. Turns out that while the juicy, explosive power of a freshly cracked pomegranate is perfect for staging a grisly murder scene,  it isn't ideal for connecting control inputs with electrical wire.

"If we connect two pieces of pom, even if they're separated on the board,♈ the f🌠act that there's juice between them can mean that they'll basically cross-conduct," Rudeism explains.

With a temporarily clean white table cloth to keep the pom juice from short-circuiting the operation, the streamer arranges 1𝐆0 neatly sliced pomegranate chunks into his controller, with four "buttons" on either side for the directional pad and ABYX buttons. On the bottom is one pom piece for the Ultimate attack and another for the Interact button. "What about a𒁏iming?" Rudeism asks himself. "Uhh... you don't need to aim. That's fine."

Narrator: it wasn't fine... at first. As you can see, it took a few trial runs to cross the finish line; technical issues continued right up until a few seconds before Rudeism beats Hades and erupts into a well-earned fit of bleary eyed celebration, laughing༺ his way out of hell with the broken, bleeding carcass of his heart-hea♔lthy gamepad before him.

If that sounds like victory to you, Rudeism used to make his pomegranate controller. In case you didn't catch the reference, the Pom of Power is an item in Hade🍃s, but technically you can play Hades with any old fruit -💦 just mind the juice.
