[humble sequoia]

I honestly believe she felt bad over that time for the rest of her life

[warped dagger]

Ehh

[low belfry]

Feeling bad doesn’t exonerate a crime but yea

[hexed wyvern]

same... I think if anyone did, ya know... it was charles

[low belfry]

Conspiracy channel mode activated

[humble sequoia]

Not today

[low belfry]

Yeah

[hexed wyvern]

some other day

[low belfry]

Anyways I hope y’all are okay and

Idk

[hexed wyvern]

🙂 thanks man

[low belfry]

Sorry I’m not good with well wishes

[finite lion]

Thanks 👍

[twin halo]

I wonder how this will effect Ireland

[humble sequoia]

It’s the thought that counts mate thank you 😊

[finite lion]

I am not from UK but I am sad that she died

[hexed wyvern]

northern, the same as the rest of the UK... the rest, not sure it will do much

[twin halo]

Wouldn't say I'm sad but I am a bit shocked.

[ruby basin]

she was 96 thought she was over 100

[finite lion]

Yeah, Shocked is better word

[twin halo]

Well people have started celebrating already in the Republic so I can see some backlash on us.

[hexed wyvern]

wow... thats insensitive af

[ruby basin]

how will this affect Lebrons legacy

[twin halo]

it was going to happen though

[twin halo]

LeBron pulls through

[hexed wyvern]

backlash indeed

[humble sequoia]

Bad blood old grudges never good

[ruby basin]

good to know

[twin halo]

I doubt it will reach celebration levels of thatchers passing

but still shouldn't be celebrated

the bad blood still exists in some peoples minds unfortunately

[humble sequoia]

God save the King.

Amen

[hexed wyvern]

is it too soon? I know that is what you say, but hmm feels weird

[spare sundial]

Free On Epic Games this week - Hundred Days Wine Making Simulater.....Realm Royale Reforged Epic Launch Bundle

[twin halo]

Now that is some good news

[ruby basin]

you got banned?

[finite lion]

I gtg cya

[humble sequoia]

Bye bye 👋

[finite lion]

PANDA?

That's panda which got banned

Anyways bye 👋

[ruby basin]

not the smartest move to admit who you were

[humble sequoia]

I guess most of us will be watching the news tomorrow for Charles and camilla coming back

[ruby basin]

nah

[twin halo]

nah

[humble sequoia]

Oh 😅

Just me then 😅

[twin halo]

I'm sure some people from the U.K. here will be

[topaz ferry]

her deal with god ended

[ruby basin]

isn’t making deals a devil ting

[topaz ferry]

nah she made this one with god

she was around the same age as well

[novel epoch]

personally my theory is that the new PM poisoned her

[humble sequoia]

That’s just what I was thinking 💭

[novel epoch]

what a coincidence that as soon as she met the new PM she went into care edit: PM being peter miller, yes, no one else

[humble sequoia]

Coinkidinks do happen tho. And we all knew that after losing Phillip she probs wouldn’t last much longer

[hexed wyvern]

sad how that works

[ruby basin]

Coinkidinks funny word

[twin halo]

We should remember the discussion of politicians isn't allowed here

[novel epoch]

yeah, all seriousness its sad, I never really cared too much about the queen but she was a lovely woman like

[humble sequoia]

Oops sorry

[ruby basin]

Does this affect Hogwarts Legacy

[elfin rampart]

why would it

[warped dagger]

She didn’t even get to play HL what a shame

[novel epoch]

thats the worst thing about today

[novel epoch]

no thats why it was told to be in general

[tight spear]

She was the lead level designer actually.

[ruby basin]

[humble sequoia]

Once when I was a kid my Nan came to my sports day at school and peeps thought it was the queen cos my Nan looked so much like her

[hexed wyvern]

she was dumbledores nan

wait what

[warped dagger]

Dumbledore is my nan

[hexed wyvern]

your nan has a lovely beard

[warped dagger]

Thanks 😂💀

[ruby basin]

how old is the new king

[warped dagger]

I’m 24

[twin halo]

70 something?

[ruby basin]

smooth

[ruby basin]

dam

[novel epoch]

74 i think

maybe

73

[ruby basin]

bro prolly won’t be king for long

[humble sequoia]

Some peeps seem to think he will pass up the throne but don’t know about it’s validity

Talking about Charles ?

[ruby basin]

Who gets to rule if he passes

[humble sequoia]

William

[ruby basin]

Ah

i don’t think he'll pass tho

[humble sequoia]

I wonder if Harry and his wife will go to the funeral

[twin halo]

You don't have to be a royal to be at the funeral

[humble sequoia]

Apparently Meghan didn’t want to go when the queen became ill so it’s more a case of if they want to

Very sad

Wait who disowned who did Harry disown his family or did they disown him?

[twin halo]

Nobody was disowned

he abdicated his royalty

[humble sequoia]

Harry and Meghan didn’t want to be royals anymore. Yes thank onion precisely

Ah and now they probably won't go to the funeral

[tight spear]

They probably will.

[twin halo]

they will.

[tight spear]

Not royal doesn't mean not family.

[sonic grove]

The Queen died

[novel epoch]

well hes confirmed king im pretty sure

[sonic grove]

oh i guess i'm late to the party lmao

[novel epoch]

lol

They announced his name as King Charles III so he must have taken it on

[sonic grove]

who?

[novel epoch]

the queens son

[sonic grove]

yeah but who announced it

[humble sequoia]

Just a wee bitty aye laddie

[violet vigil]

annyway. Lets celebrate!

[novel epoch]

the prime minister

[sonic grove]

It would be a dumb choice tbh

[hexed wyvern]

im sure he has to be crowned first... before he can use his title

[sonic grove]

Charles I was literally beheaded by republicans, Charles II converted to catholicism on his deathbed

Charles is literally the worst regnal name he could use

[novel epoch]

but its his name

[violet vigil]

Charles the third

[hexed wyvern]

he can change his name to anything when he becomes king

[novel epoch]

i know

[sonic grove]

yeah but many monarchs chose other regnal names than their actual names, regnal names and regular names are different

[hexed wyvern]

okie

[novel epoch]

but I guess for simplicity sake he decided

seeing as he is 70 and lots of people has known him as such for a while now

[sonic grove]

🤷‍♂️

[humble sequoia]

To do as his mum did and keep the same name

[novel epoch]

funny if they changed their last names back to its original

[sonic grove]

man it feels kinda weird that she's dead, and i'm anti-monarchism but still

[novel epoch]

since WW1 and WW2 is in the past

[humble sequoia]

So the queen has died her immortality was a myth

[sonic grove]

part of me was hoping she'd live to 100 and then die

[humble sequoia]

Are we allowed to share memes here?

[novel epoch]

maybe she is still alive but felt as though it wouldn't be fair to continue ruling and faked her death

[ruby basin]

Yes

[novel epoch]

in #🤣memes maybe idk

but if a mod doesnt see then theres no worries

but they are always watching

[sonic grove]

oh dear we're starting with the conspiracy theories now?

[novel epoch]

lol

I said one before but it was too political

[sonic grove]

She's a constitutional monarch so I think it's fine

[humble sequoia]

Uhuh got told off for mentioning politicians 🙈

Gonna go cry into a bowl of ice cream

[sonic grove]

False, he became the king the moment the queen died, but his reign is in theory fully 100% legit without the tiniest of disputable doubt legit after the coronation

btw, will they even do a coronation? i highly doubt the british public are into spending a bunch of tax money on some old party, although it would be fascinating to see in 2022

[hexed wyvern]

why do people assume the royals dont have their own money?

[sonic grove]

they do, but where do they get the money

[hexed wyvern]

always here stuff like that.. they own a lot of land, and have a job to do

[sonic grove]

the sovereign grant, and who funds the grant? the british public

[hexed wyvern]

I work for the government, if I buy a laptop, its not with the tax payers money...

[sonic grove]

how is the government paying you?

[hexed wyvern]

its my money... the exact same way it is their money

[sonic grove]

it needs taxes and other forms of revenue to keep itself functioning and not become a failed state

[glass eagle]

from taxes

same with royals

[hexed wyvern]

dumb view. They work, they get paid. I work, I get paid... its acting like the money is being stolen from the public

[sonic grove]

the thing is, you're actually working, you're making an impact, the monarchy doesn't really have a significant impact one way or an other and is a drain, they just wave from balconies and that's it

[hexed wyvern]

....

one of the most moronic things ive seen on this chat

[tight spear]

They bring in more money from tourism than they spend.

[hexed wyvern]

then bring in billions and spend millions... thats profitable

[sonic grove]

and doesn't france bring in money from versailles and other formerly royal owned properties?

that's like saying that if a french monarchy still existed it shouldn't be abolished because versailles and their other royal properties bring in a lot of money, i actually thought Regnion's argument to be valid for quite a while but then I thought about the versailles thing and was like, heyyy this is a bit wrong actually

[glass eagle]

spend quite a lot more than millions

do u know how much the buckingham renovations were

[humble sequoia]

Ok I don’t think today is the day for this

[hexed wyvern]

it isnt

[sonic grove]

yeah agreed this is turning political and we should agree to disagree and end the argument

[tight spear]

If you want to abolish the monarchy, go do it. This a video game Discord.

[glass eagle]

my bad

[sonic grove]

oh i'm not british, i was just saying that it's a stupid system to still exist, but moving on

[hexed wyvern]

what are you, out of curiosity?

[sonic grove]

I live in Belgium atm, also a kingdom

[hexed wyvern]

...

[humble sequoia]

It’s ok everyone has valid points and opinions but yeah a great discussion to have another day 🥰

[glass eagle]

not actually a republican (not american type) just responding to some stuff

[sonic grove]

same here

[glass eagle]

but yeah this isn't the day

[humble sequoia]

Always enjoy good natured debate

[glass eagle]

she's done an incredible job it has to be said

still had an audience with the new PM days before her death

[hexed wyvern]

wonder if there is anyone above the minister of magic

[sonic grove]

i can't deny that it's impressive that she's continued to serve as queen well into her 90's that i can give an immense amount of respect for

[humble sequoia]

If you haven’t seen the crown I would recommend it

[sonic grove]

oh god

i'll pass

[humble sequoia]

I’m not saying it’s 100% historically accurate. Do you have to like someone in order to watch a movie about them?

[twin halo]

The queen has always been moderately sympathetic to Ireland (I can't say the same about other U.K. officials) so that's why I actually have a bit more respect for the queen

[stark kernel]

Eh, The Crown is like most entertainment - it may be fun to watch, but since it concerns real people and events, you need to consider the writers have an agenda.

[sonic grove]

oh that's why i don't want to watch it, tbh i am a history nerd and i'm not really interested in the british monarchy as an institution past 1688, not the same about the british empire, that i still do read about

[twin halo]

She did her job to a tee, she stayed out of politics, avoided alot of controversial issues in her long life

[glass eagle]

the crown is good but obviously heavily dramatised

think the new season is coming in like a month or two, will be weird to watch that now

[twin halo]

is the new season still thatcher?

[glass eagle]

no

[twin halo]

okay cool cool

[glass eagle]

major and up to blair i think

[humble sequoia]

Ok I hear ya 😅

What do you think the writers agenda were? I mean the difficulties the family went through don’t seem that far fetched to me

[sonic grove]

being a royal is probably the biggest double edged sword in the world

on the one hand, sure you live in luxury and earn a lot of (un)earned respect (depending on who we're talking about) among other things, on the other hand, you always have to put on a facade and follow like a trillion protocols, that must suck mentally speaking

[humble sequoia]

Yeah protocols. Thanks to those protocols we got George and then Elizabeth rather than Edward

[glass eagle]

to make it a good story

[stark kernel]

There's been some mild controversy that one of the consultants for the show has it out for the RF because he was close to Diana. And then there was also the whole to-do when news broke that one of Princess Diana's friends stopped consulting because of how the show insisted on portraying Lady Di.

[glass eagle]

most of the dramatic stuff is made up or exaggerated

[runic sandal]

I’d love to be a guard for the queen

You must feel so honoured

[glass eagle]

youd get pretty hot in summer

[runic sandal]

Yeah I’d definitely pass out 😂

[sonic grove]

you do realize how strict the protocol is for them, if you have to relieve yourself and i quote 'the pants are sufficiently dark enough to cover up any embarrassment'

[ruby basin]

madness

[humble sequoia]

Really?

[sonic grove]

yes google it

[ruby basin]

Do they get paid good at least?

[sonic grove]

i doubt it but idk tbh

[runic sandal]

Yes.I was in the army cadets until I was 17

[glass eagle]

unlikely

[sonic grove]

oof, well you have amazing discipline then, i would never ever put myself through that

if i really wanted to be a guard then honestly everything was fine if a bit strict but the peeing yourself part is the one where it's like: bro too far

[humble sequoia]

The queen served in the Air Force right?

[sonic grove]

i think she served as a mechanic in ww2

[ruby basin]

What do they need those fancy guards for anyways?

[sonic grove]

for protection? duh?

[glass eagle]

to scare people

also a tourist attraction

[sonic grove]

also they're a bit of an icon now

[runic sandal]

Protection and to make sure someone doesn’t try and kill people inside

[ruby basin]

Doubt that’s the main reason

[runic sandal]

To protect the queen or king

[humble sequoia]

Hmmm they are actullly armed with live ammo and would actually fire one someone trespassing on palace grounds

[glass eagle]

their guns aren't loaded

[sonic grove]

actually that is the main reason, alongside they're basically iconic now, you wouldn't want some lunatic murdering the head of state and their family now would you?

[finite lion]

👑

[runic sandal]

Yeah but then again who would go on there it’s quite obvious you shouldn’t and then you have a death wish if you do 😂

[ruby basin]

the royals prolly have their own ‘’secret service'' to protect them those guards mostly for show also for protection im not denying that but mostly show

[ruby basin]

the police mostly handles murder cases

[humble sequoia]

Have you seen the tourists trying to aggravate them? Some right nutters

[stark kernel]

From what I recall from the security row when Harry and Meghan left Royal Duties, the Metro Police provides protection at public events for all working members of the Royal Family.

[sonic grove]

yeah i'm pretty sure if a royal assassination happens they're going to need more than an average joe police force

[wooden oxide]

So the queen is dead.

[sonic grove]

long live the king? not for long though, the man is in his 70s

[humble sequoia]

Read the last two hours of chat mate 😅

[wooden oxide]

So just a ten to twenty year reign, if we’re basing his life expectancy on his mother.

[stark kernel]

I'm sure for most of us, we're okay with that. Most people would prefer William over Charles.

[glass eagle]

will never have the queen anthem again in our lifetimes

[wooden oxide]

I did guess. 😏

[sonic grove]

maybe not for over 100+ years

[wooden oxide]

Not unless something very dramatic happens.

[glass eagle]

now all the government services and whatnot are called his majesty's

Can't wait to go to his majesty's prison

[wooden oxide]

Same lettering fortunately.

[wild niche]

Oh boy

[glass eagle]

which is practical

[sonic grove]

i mentioned it before and i'll mention it again, being a royal is the biggest double edged sword in the world, they have a bazillion protocols that would make any normal person go insane, that includes using different aircraft for different members of the royal family just in case one malfunctioned and they died in it or something (and packing black clothes in case someone died while they're in the flight)

[wooden oxide]

Sensible even.

[humble sequoia]

HRH

[wooden oxide]

And then there’s that whole… embodying Britain thing.

[glass eagle]

feels kinda surreal for me ngl, since it's been like this for all our lives and probably our parent's lives

[sonic grove]

oof

[wooden oxide]

No no. HM. His Majesty.

[ruby basin]

HHM

[sonic grove]

I agree, I'm no monarchist but she's a British icon, it feels weird that she's dead

[wooden oxide]

Since the time of our great-grandfathers.

[finite lion]

Better Call Saul!!!

[ruby basin]

[neon shell]

RIP Queen.

[sonic grove]

yeah a bit late for that

[humble sequoia]

In heaven then

[sonic grove]

yep fair enough

[ruby basin]

she in da backrooms rn

[wooden oxide]

The queen is dead. Long live the king.

[stark kernel]

The Queen is dead. Long Live the King.

[wooden oxide]

She’s with Philip. So I’m sure she’s smiling.

[humble sequoia]

Gonna miss that smile

[glass eagle]

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/08/queen-death-cash-stamps-flags this article is interesting to see the changes

apparently jamaica could become a republic as they need to amend their constitution to recognise the new king

[wooden oxide]

All in all, she was possibly the greatest diplomat to ever live.

[sonic grove]

didn't jamaica abolish the monarchy?

or was that barbados? i can't rememeber

[glass eagle]

barbados

[stark kernel]

They expressed their desire to leave the commonwealth to William and Catherine. You're thinking of Barbados.

[glass eagle]

they left the commonwealth, just means constitutionally they aren't governed by the monarchy

[wooden oxide]

It’s between her an Metternich, frankly.

[wooden oxide]

I think it’s both at this stage.

Though I stand to be corrected.

[glass eagle]

not a fan of truss but having the monarch die on your 2nd day is quite something

[sonic grove]

the idea of the monarchy remaining in most of the caribbean states is seen as ridiculous by a significant portion of the locals, in the best case scenario i think only the big dominions are going to stay, canada, australia and new zealand

and that's the best possible case scenario in my own opinion tbh

[glass eagle]

the commonwealth is much more than the monarchy

[stark kernel]

I was never going to envy the Prime Minister who was in power when Queen Elizabeth II died. I can't imagine how much it must suck when the Queen dies on your second day on the job.

[sonic grove]

oh no i didn't say the commonwealth, i just said the monarchy itself

[glass eagle]

they are the same practically

[sonic grove]

sidenote: i could be completely wrong as i'm not as knowledgeable about modern monarchies as i don't care as much in comparison to a few 100 years back for historical reasons :P since most modern monarchies are (mostly) irrelevant polticially speaking

[glass eagle]

they can't abolish the monarchy without leaving the commonwealth

[wooden oxide]

Lord, that’ll be fun for her.

[stark kernel]

They can remove the queen as head of state, but I think the institution itself could only be dissolved in England (don't know, not English).

[sonic grove]

yeah that's what i said

the monarchy itself would be removed in those regions, but not in england

just like what happened in barbados, that was what i meant, sorry for the misunderstanding

[glass eagle]

need to leave the commonwealth to do that though

as barbados did

oh wait maybe not actually

think im getting confused nvm

[sonic grove]

No no, they abolished the queen as the head of state, they became a republic, but their republic is still a member of the commonwealth, and the commonwealth's head was the queen

[glass eagle]

also the king now, by the way 😄

we will all probably make that slip up

[stark kernel]

Not a problem! Sometimes chats are not the best at conveying meaning. 🙈

[rose relic]

I can't believe she's dead i'm in shock tbh

i've never known any different

[wooden oxide]

Haven’t had to say that for seventy years now.

[humble sequoia]

Same🥺

[sonic grove]

me too, it feels weird, it's a stronger feeling of how i felt when angela merkel stepped down as german chancellor

[wooden oxide]

Are you German?

[glass eagle]

i've thought about it happening a lot but didn't think it would be this soon

[rose relic]

I didn't think it would be this year

[wooden oxide]

I mean… she was 93.

[rose relic]

96

[wooden oxide]

Or any really.

[humble sequoia]

The first news I saw and learned from her that she died is that the Qatar Cup will be the first World Cup without Elizabeth

[wooden oxide]

Was she??? Why did I think 93??

[sonic grove]

this will be controversial, no, but she did give refugees a chance in europe

[vital badge]

is the queen dead??!?1

[rose relic]

Yeah she was 96 😦

[sonic grove]

yeah you're late to the party

[wooden oxide]

Yes.

[vital badge]

dangggg

[humble sequoia]

Today

[rose relic]

70 years on the throne

[humble sequoia]

There are some people that will only find out about this tomorrow

[wooden oxide]

Oh wow. Are we telling you this?

[novel epoch]

we'll be getting "the queens dead?" for 2 days id say

[vital badge]

I'm an American but i still pay respect

[runic sandal]

Fr it’s the biggest thing on social media at the moment and people don’t know 😂

[vital badge]

i just got back from school

[humble sequoia]

And I am Egyptian and doing the same ngl

[sonic grove]

Elizabeth II herself was impressive, serving until your 90s must be tough, the monarchy itself not so much

[wooden oxide]

While you’re doing that, would you kindly sign this resubmission document?

[rose relic]

I'm British so I knew from lunch time something wasn't right

[sonic grove]

A lot of high profile deaths these past few weeks, first gorbachev and now the queen

both highly influential figures

[runic sandal]

I didn’t even know til I got home that she will ill and then I went to my moms and then we saw the news she passed

[sonic grove]

both in their 90s

[wooden oxide]

Conspiracy nuts are going to love it.

[stark kernel]

It always goes in threes. 👀 #myparanoidself

[humble sequoia]

There were alot of people noting that she seemed a bit different

[sonic grove]

LMAOOOO

[novel epoch]

who is gorbachev lmao

[wooden oxide]

Who’s next? Obama?

[rose relic]

I thought she looked a bit more frail from the picture on Tuesday when she asked Lizz Truss to form the government

[sonic grove]

if it was only gorbachev i'd say go nuts (pun intended), but the queen is way more high profile and better protected

[sonic grove]

The Last USSR president

he opened it up to democracy which led to its dismantling

[novel epoch]

ah ok

[wooden oxide]

Wait… Not old enough. Bush or Clinton maybe?

[sonic grove]

some russians despise him, others revere him for giving them a chance which they're now losing

[runic sandal]

A lot more she looked so skinny and I think that’s when you could tell she’s gonna pass

[keen owl]

Clinton is more likely. His health is pretty bad.

[wooden oxide]

Is Bush Sr still alive?

[keen owl]

No.

[wooden oxide]

Damn

[sonic grove]

i bet that the conspiracy nuts will think henry kissinger's going to die next, he's also in his 90s

[rose relic]

Look at her hand though as well she had IVs recently in her system as its all brusied

[keen owl]

He died a few years ago.

[keen owl]

Is that why her hands were purple in the image I saw?

[wooden oxide]

Must admit, I missed that one.

[rose relic]

I would guess so yeah, I see that a lot due to being a nurse

[wooden oxide]

Probably.

[stark kernel]

A lot of people were deeply concerned that the Queen wouldn't have much time left after her husband's passing.

[humble sequoia]

Could you imagine being the student nurse trying to not screw up the IV for the queen

[sonic grove]

tbh when i saw her opening parliament alone i was like: yep this is basically the end, good bye and rip

[runic sandal]

I really started to appreciate the royal family at the Jubilee I loved it and it was a experience I’ll never forget and then I started getting invested and now she’s gone it really was a shock and not a nice feeling

[keen owl]

Fairly certain she had only the best people at her disposal.

[sonic grove]

i highly doubt they'd use a student nurse for the literal QUEEN

[wooden oxide]

You seriously think they let student nurses do that?

[rose relic]

I love the royal family so this is a bit of a heartbroken moment for me at the moment

[runic sandal]

It’s just mad that she’s gone I can’t get it in my head that she is she was so brave but i think she wanted to just go now and see her husband in the afterlife 🙏

[humble sequoia]

Yes for sure sorry 😅 just screwed up a few iv in my time

[rose relic]

They wouldn't allow student nurses for that haha

[glass eagle]

96 even but it still feels soon

[keen owl]

I’m not into the royal family thing and I don’t understand it in the slightest but I am sad that she’s gone.

[sonic grove]

One king was actually overdosed with cocaine and morphine so that his death would appear on the morning instead of the evening news

[sonic grove]

same here

[wooden oxide]

Yeah, got corrected. 😏

[glass eagle]

they kept a lot of her health problems silent ig

which was correct

[fathom elk]

Do you think there is gonna be an invisibility cloack?

[wooden oxide]

Was that Edward or George?

[sonic grove]

George V iirc, the guy people would switch with the last russian emperor all the time

[runic sandal]

I’ve got college tommorow too and I don’t know weather to go or not

[wooden oxide]

Yeah, seems likely. Edward was a bit to far back unless we’re talking about the papers.

[runic sandal]

I want to go to take my mind of it but I know that’s all they will be talking about

[stark kernel]

when my granddad passed at 96 we just looked at as, "He lived a life worth living, all we can hope to do is live up to the legacy that he left behind." I just hope the Queen's legacy isn't a burden to her surviving family.

[sonic grove]

btw the secret is in the eyes and you can easily tell them apart lmao

[humble sequoia]

Probs gonna be an official day of mourning for the country. Take inspiration from her hagrid and be strong 🥰

[keen owl]

I wonder how many people at work will be talking about this when I go in in a couple of hours.

[wooden oxide]

All we have now is her example. And that will have to be enough.

[sonic grove]

I have English class tomorrow and it's definitely going to come up lmao

[wooden oxide]

All of them.

[rose relic]

Doesn't feel right saying King Charles

[stark kernel]

I only have 1 coworker who I can talk to about the RF. She almost didn't come in to work today, since she works the shift after mine.

[sonic grove]

One was beheaded, the other converted to Catholicism on his deathbed and his dynasty overthrown soon after, damn Henry did you really have to make catholicism the boogie man of the isles?

[wooden oxide]

It’s been Queen Elizabeth for 70 years. King Charles is going to feel strange for a while.

[glass eagle]

there was a pretender who some called king charles iii lol

[sonic grove]

oh yeah, didn't he die in the papal states?

[stark kernel]

Yeah, King Charles III doesn't bode well for me.

[misty marsh]

Will the game follow live Holliday like Christmas and haloween?

[wooden oxide]

But as Churchill used to say: KBO. Keep buggering on.

[glass eagle]

not sure

[rose relic]

I would rather have Prince William take the throne

[glass eagle]

charles was considering calling himself george before because of all that tho

[humble sequoia]

I’m sure a lot of us would

[stark kernel]

Well, Given Charles' age, we might not have to deal with Charles for long.

[wooden oxide]

Bonnie Prince Charles, yeah.

[glass eagle]

but he's been charles for so long it would be too weird

[rose relic]

That is true

[wooden oxide]

Jacobite Rebellion.

[stark kernel]

It's all about perspective. 😉

[wooden oxide]

Just 10 to 20 years, based on his mother.

[sonic grove]

in a weird way, using charles iii would be a better regnal name since if he used an other name, people would actually bother to look that stuff up and understand why and then the normally uninterested in history would suddenly get ideas (at least that's how i think the monarchy would see it)

[humble sequoia]

But getting ideas is so fun

Like getting clues

[wooden oxide]

Charles III will probably be what catches on. It rolls off the tongue better.

[glass eagle]

with modern healthcare surprassing the length of the queen's reign would be something

[stark kernel]

Look, those tin hat youtube videos don't make themselves. /sarcasm

[sonic grove]

for the monarchy who doesn't want to be abolished? not so much

[glass eagle]

he already decided his regnal name

[sonic grove]

tbh most of this chatroom would be long dead until a royal surpasses the queen's reign, that is if the monarchy isn't abolished in britain in a few years

[glass eagle]

the monarchy being abolished is way more fuss than it's worth and doesn't have popular support

but the younger generation are definitely less connected to the monarchy

[sonic grove]

that's what i meant

[glass eagle]

so who knows what will happen in the future

[rose relic]

I don't wish for it to be abolished

[sonic grove]

agreed, actually thought the same thing for quite a while and still do tbh, there are more pressing matters at hand, that's what pushed off barbados' decision to remove the queen for so long

[stark kernel]

I would be surprised if the Monarchy survived past Prince George, but I hope it does.

[rose relic]

Am i classed as a young person at 27?

[glass eagle]

probably 😂

[humble sequoia]

I had thought what with William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan that more on the younger generations had become more interested in the royals?

[wooden oxide]

Surprisingly, many of them actually are these days a lot of 20-somethings these days are astonishingly conservative.

[rose relic]

Just checking 😂

[keen owl]

You are young.

[glass eagle]

still in the minority though

when you look at voting charts the age difference is crazy

[sonic grove]

i think you definitively lose young status in 30-35

[humble sequoia]

As the great Dr. bashir once out it the slow March into middle age begins at 30

[rose relic]

Yay xD

[rose relic]

So i have a few years to go 🙂

[sonic grove]

so 13 more years of naivety for me 😍

[keen owl]

I’ve nearly lost it. One more year to go I suppose.

[stark kernel]

I feel pretty safe, as a 34 year old going on 35 in a month, I am no longer young for any value of young.

[sonic grove]

oh you're on the same train as my sister, good luck lmao

[glass eagle]

iirc, if only under 45s would have voted in the last election in the UK the conservatives wouldn't have won, and they won by about 90 seats with all the extra votes

[wooden oxide]

Maybe. There are still more of them than there should be, given historical trends. Probably more that we don’t hear about.

[keen owl]

Finally someone older than I am.

I hit 34 last month.

[glass eagle]

I think the young conservatives are probably more active in politics

[stark kernel]

I hit 35 the 15th of October.

[glass eagle]

or at least party politics

[humble sequoia]

I thought we weren’t allowed to talk politics on here? 🙈

[wooden oxide]

Eh. Hard to say. Liberals are certainly better at mobilising quickly.

[glass eagle]

oops well

[keen owl]

We’re not.

[wooden oxide]

Are we not?? Right. Moving swiftly on!

[sonic grove]

with the news of the queen's death i think it's a flood gate that even flex tape wouldn't close

[rose relic]

Its difficult not to as she was head of state

[humble sequoia]

But we are being naughty today I see 😇

[rose relic]

And not just in the UK

[wooden oxide]

So long as party lines don’t get drawn.

[keen owl]

If you wouldn’t want to talk about it with your relatives visiting during a family reunion you probably shouldn’t talk about it here.

[glass eagle]

yeah I was trying to stray from opinion but probably better to leave it altogether

[sonic grove]

X: oh heyyy the queen died
Y: oh yeah how sad, anyway, here's my new iPhone 14

[glass eagle]

if only I could get away from talking politics there 😄

[potent kayak]

Please keep any topics relating to politics out of the Discord please

[wooden oxide]

Agreed. Back to Ducky.

[humble sequoia]

I’m so glad you think of us in as high regard as family Severus

[keen owl]

Same here. 😒

[sonic grove]

man i'm sad

my iPhone 13 is no longer new 😭 (infinitely more important than a death /sarcasm)

[stark kernel]

My mom has very strict rules about no political discussions at Family Gatherings (since she hosts all the family gatherings), so it's less about what I would say at a family gathering, and more, would this subject even be allowed?

[humble sequoia]

Ugh family politics are harder than stately politics

[sonic grove]

the iphone 14 pro's notch is so weird

[sonic grove]

LMAOOOO this is so true

[glass eagle]

someone told me they removed the notch, then I saw that

[humble sequoia]

Especially when the vegan cousins (who I love) come round for Sunday dinner

[stark kernel]

My mom is Canadian so the last thing she wants to have to do is referee conversations about American Politics.

Because all my family members have opinions.

[twin halo]

We aren't all awkward to deal with, I promise

[glass eagle]

I just smile and nod when my grandparents bring up their views

whole can of worms

[wooden oxide]

It’s good that you can admit they exist. But you still shouldn’t admit they exist. 😏

[humble sequoia]

I believe you. No good painting everyone with the same brush 😊

[stark kernel]

I believe it. I had a grandfather who was a Southern Baptist Preacher. He had all kinds of opinions.

[warped dagger]

Oof

[twin halo]

Religion and politics in the same convo, the mods will love this

[stark kernel]

Families are complicated. And messy.

[humble sequoia]

They are probs in mourning too most of them are British right?

[wooden oxide]

Old conservatives or old liberals?

[warped dagger]

As long as people are able to put differences aside for the benefit of the conversation I don’t see an issue

[wooden oxide]

Both can be terrible in their own way.

[twin halo]

it's just against the server rules, It doesn't bother me 🤷

[stark kernel]

British, Canadians, Austrialians, all countries that have the monarchy as head of state.

[warped dagger]

Shows how much I follow the rules 💀

[humble sequoia]

All things can be terrible in lots of different ways

[wooden oxide]

We are mostly taking a broader view and largely just complaining about family gatherings.

[wooden oxide]

Isn’t that the truth.

[warped dagger]

I’m just late to the convo tbh idk what y’all are talking about lol

[wooden oxide]

The queen being dead actually.

[stark kernel]

I'm lucky that I'm at the point where both of my paternal grandparents have passed so we don't have to hear their opinions any more. We loved them, but oh boy, oh boy.

[dreamy ingot]

Oh moderators!

[humble sequoia]

Family gatherings, politics, vegans and the loss of the greatest monarch in recent history

[warped dagger]

No comment

[sonic grove]

lucky, i've never seen my grandparents

but that's a story for an other time

[twin halo]

oooooooooh moderators

[wooden oxide]

What a day.

[wooden oxide]

Snitch!

[stark kernel]

My maternal grandparents were both pretty fun and didn't tend to bother us with their political opinions. But also: that's the Canadian side of the family.

[sonic grove]

that's the wildest of wild stretches 'greatest monarch in recent history'

[dreamy ingot]

theres a reason slytherins slither cause we sneks

[warped dagger]

🗿

[sonic grove]

oh sorry nvm 'recent' history

didn't read that, my bad

i was thinking of Elizabeth of Russia or Catherine the Great, now those were great :P

man the russian elizabeth is really underrated, she literally didn't execute a single person in her reign

[wooden oxide]

I mean, recent history can include the entire 20th century.

[glass eagle]

would rather just leave their views as unpleasant ngl 😄

[sonic grove]

the russian empress elizabeth reigned in the 1700s soooo 🤷‍♂️

[warped dagger]

Yeah I think monarchy’s are cool I personally wouldn’t mind living under one

[wooden oxide]

How long was her reign?

[sonic grove]

1741-1762

[twin halo]

Not the football being cancelled 😦

[sonic grove]

she overthrew a child in a coup and put him in prison

[wooden oxide]

300 years ago isn’t recent.

[glass eagle]

constitutional monarchy is a different game altogether though

[twin halo]

Yes it is

[glass eagle]

although it's still not the only form of monarchy that exists

[sonic grove]

read my previous messages

[tight spear]

On a cosmological scale, everything is recent.

[twin halo]

Precisely

[warped dagger]

Deep

[glass eagle]

it's technically 'modern history', wouldn't call it recent

[sonic grove]

microstates and muslim monarchies be like:

[novel maple]

This new reign gonna be over quick though

[wooden oxide]

That’s why we don’t really use it when measuring human history.

[glass eagle]

modern history starts around 1500s iirc

maybe a bit later

[wooden oxide]

Based on his mother? 10 to 20 years, I’d say.

[twin halo]

Recent history is the past 500/600 years

[sonic grove]

geez read the message, i apologised because the 'recent' part flew over my head

[glass eagle]

obviously depends on how you define it though

[glass eagle]

i'm not responding to you lol, just commenting on that

[sonic grove]

Elizabeth, Catherine II, Alexander II and Peter I, the four truly greats of russian history imo

[humble sequoia]

I thought modern refers to like the 20th and 21st centuries

[stark kernel]

Most people aren't honestly mad about that. 🙈 I almost feel bad for Charles. He's got to be keenly aware of how many people would prefer William next over him.

[wooden oxide]

It does.

[sonic grove]

Elizabeth is the most underrated of the four, no one seems to remember her

[wooden oxide]

Victorian England is not recent.

[twin halo]

These names hold no meaning to me.

[sonic grove]

ok? i wasn't talking to u

[glass eagle]

the cricket might be too lol

not that anyone probably cares except me

[twin halo]

You replied to my message though

[sonic grove]

did i? my bad

[lyric oar]

ur = you are or your?

[sonic grove]

man my brain is scattered all over the place today

i'm sorry

[novel maple]

Yeah kinda weird they didn't skip a generation at this point but I guess different rules.

Our queen called it quits early and we got a pretty young king

[glass eagle]

can be either lol

[twin halo]

The server is scattered its all good

[lyric oar]

k

[glass eagle]

depends on context

[wooden oxide]

They’re cancelling the football and the cricket??

[twin halo]

For the weekend

[sonic grove]

for the first time in my life i was an hour late to school and on my first week, man the embarrassment is monumental 😭

[glass eagle]

all sports pretty much, but technically the cricket can still happen

[wooden oxide]

They must be really depressed.

[glass eagle]

only tomorrow has been cancelled

[sonic grove]

the one time my alarm doesn't ring, ugh

[twin halo]

I'm going to be spending my weekend watching Belgian league football

[sonic grove]

ayyyyy

[glass eagle]

i'm playing a club game on the weekend i'm sure that'll be ok 😂

i used to be in Belgium alot on work

Aren’t you guys basically discount French? 😏

[sonic grove]

shut up

[glass eagle]

[sonic grove]

no, we're split into flanders and wallonia

[wooden oxide]

Or discount Dutch?

[sonic grove]

again, shut up.

[twin halo]

Flanders has friendlier people in my experience

[humble sequoia]

Nah nah they don’t run away from a fight and don’t have a love of cheese

[sonic grove]

tbh i feel like belgian people are way too shy and hard to connect with

[wooden oxide]

I’m probably the only person here who knows that. 😏

[sonic grove]

i'm not actually belgian but i live there

[twin halo]

shame that I can't speak flemish

[humble sequoia]

half baguette half bretzel

[twin halo]

Belgium has had one hot summer

[wooden oxide]

In all seriousness, I’ve actually been to Brussels briefly. Lovely place.

[wooden oxide]

Pretzels are German.

[sonic grove]

ugh tbh i hate brussels, you should visit Antwerp, Gent, and Leuven, Leuven's townhall is amazing

[glass eagle]

ive been to brussels once as well

[stark kernel]

Charles would have to Abdicate. I don't see him doing that.

[glass eagle]

was on a history trip tho lol

[humble sequoia]

Yeah I know

[sonic grove]

man's been waiting his whole life for this, i doubt it

[twin halo]

I used to work there doing journalism, loved it but my favorite place in Belgium is Brugges

[sonic grove]

antwerp's trainstation too

[wooden oxide]

I did go to a smaller village/town. Think it might’ve been Ghent.

[stark kernel]

I still remember my Shakespeare professor in College joking about how much Charles has been waiting for this.

[sonic grove]

Did you go to Manhattan's burgers?

[humble sequoia]

Wait can someone clarify this for me. I thought Charles wasn’t in the running because of marrying camila? Or was that rule changed for him after the Edward fiasco

[sonic grove]

the best expensive burger i have ever eaten 😋

[wooden oxide]

It was a school trip over 12 years ago though, so I’m really not sure.

[wooden oxide]

Afraid not.

[twin halo]

No idea, I don't know the monarchy rules

[sonic grove]

i actually went to paris this summer with my class

was a (mostly) lovely experience

[twin halo]

Hope you didn't get robbed

[sonic grove]

i have a fear of heights so when we went inside the eiffel tower i had a mini panic attack

[sonic grove]

oh i kept everything in a fanny pack which i tightly held onto, so nope!

[twin halo]

Good on you

[wooden oxide]

Oh, that must’ve been hell. Just blame the French. It makes everything better.

[glass eagle]

the church of england allows divorced people to remarry now I believe

[twin halo]

I was in Italy there last week, always heard the horror stories, had a pleasant time

[twin halo]

It's been that way for some time I belive

[glass eagle]

yep

[sonic grove]

they colonized my country so i can blame them for that too, although i think as a christian we probably benfitted slightly more because ottoman rule wasn't great until their sick man years when europe started getting more influence

[glass eagle]

edward wanted to marry a divorced woman, the issue wasn't him divorcing

[wooden oxide]

I had mine one of those necklace things.

[glass eagle]

same with princess margaret

[humble sequoia]

Aaah I thought the issue was with the monarch marrying a divorcee

[wooden oxide]

Where do you live??

[glass eagle]

I don't think camilla has been divorced

[sonic grove]

from syria, live in 🇧🇪

[stark kernel]

Divorced in 1995.

[glass eagle]

charles is known to have had about 10 girlfriends before he settled on diana tho lol

[wooden oxide]

Ah! Yeah… How do you guys view old Lawrence there?

[glass eagle]

ah

[twin halo]

"Goodbye, England's rose."

[glass eagle]

but yeah doesn't matter now

not sure when the anglican church changed the rule

[wooden oxide]

I’m well aware his involvement was exaggerated but still curious.

[sonic grove]

not good, but for me france's presence is slightly more nuanced than them being fully 100% evil, when the ottoman empire was decaying they secured more rights for christians which was good for us obviously

[stark kernel]

according to Google, 2002.

[wooden oxide]

She was. That was why she and Charles weren’t allowed to get married in the first place.

[sonic grove]

tbh i don't know the extent in which france exploited syria so i can't give a definitive view 🤷‍♂️

i do know that they screwed over their african territories (and still do) tho

[glass eagle]

charles is definitely not the first divorcee king though 😂

[sonic grove]

Edward VIII

Henry VIII

[twin halo]

May I intrude, big ED

[sonic grove]

lots of 8's in this

[glass eagle]

and that's the reason why we have the church of england at all

[wooden oxide]

No but the last one had to abdicate and the the others… Well look, Henry was a bit of an aberration.

[sonic grove]

and why catholics can't shoot their shot at the big shiny imperial state crown lmao

man imagine if mary was a boy

ngl i think england would've still converted but later

[glass eagle]

yeah was gonna say that

we probably would have

[wooden oxide]

Interesting to speculate.

[wooden oxide]

I’m sure Henry often did.

[glass eagle]

if henry had got the axe out on that one could be a very different country though

[wooden oxide]

Interestingly, he actually didn’t consider it a separation from the Catholic Church. Just a separation from the Pope.

It was largely Elizabeth I who made England properly Protestant.

[humble sequoia]

Man poor Lizzie must have been having Edward flashbacks with Harry

[glass eagle]

it is eerily similar

[wooden oxide]

But then, that largely mirrors what happened with Luther and Calvin too.

[wooden oxide]

Thank God almighty he came second.

[sonic grove]

Elizabeth I was England's greatest monarch in my opinion

although she gets more credit than she deserves for the armada victory, since the armada was ruined by a storm, not by the english navy

[glass eagle]

most of my english history knowledge comes from my stuart modules in a level 😂

man it was interesting though

[wooden oxide]

One of. Though Victoria, Henry II and Lizzie II can make claims too.

[glass eagle]

james i was a proper character

[wooden oxide]

Probably a few others too.

[glass eagle]

victoria is a good shout

[humble sequoia]

Making me think of monty python

[sonic grove]

Victoria and Elizabeth II were almost never active in politics though, all they did was just reign for a long time, which sure is cool that you have the patience for that stuff, but they never really made any decisions that impacted the country, since they didn't possess that power, for one to be called the great they either have to have shifted the country for the better or made a great sacrifice for that country's benefit one way or an other

[wooden oxide]

Shh!!! Don’t give the Spanish ideas!

[sonic grove]

Henry II I can agree he was a decent king

[glass eagle]

yeah it's judging different stuff

I dont know much about medieval history so I can't really comment

[wooden oxide]

His biggest flaw was his inability to let Young Henry or Richard have any real power.

[glass eagle]

and all i've really looked at is bad monarchs

and cromwell

[sonic grove]

his biggest flaw is crowning henry as co-king, kinda reminiscant of the romans imo, but not as effective

[wooden oxide]

Whom I’d just toss in with the bad monarchs really.

Lord Protector. Honestly. 🙄

[sonic grove]

Cromwell's conduct in Ireland was deeply horrifying

[glass eagle]

also you could technically count hickory dick

😂

[twin halo]

our population still hasn't recovered

[wooden oxide]

Idea was solid but his execution sucked.

[sonic grove]

no i think it hasn't recovered because of the potato famine

[wooden oxide]

What about Dock?

[sonic grove]

that's the british protestants' fault, they saw it as, and i quote an 'act of God' because catholics were heretics from their pov

[twin halo]

that was also a part of it

[twin halo]

No need to bring religion into it

[sonic grove]

i'm just saying it as fact, because that's genuinely how some british polticians felt in that time period

[twin halo]

sometimes things don't need to be said.

[sonic grove]

yeah fair

[wooden oxide]

Yip. Guy was astonishingly awful.

[humble sequoia]

Like why we were better of without Edward

[sonic grove]

yeah yeah i see your point

[wooden oxide]

Don’t be starting up troubles again.

[sonic grove]

moving on

are you guys into history? if so? which states/time periods?

[wooden oxide]

Because we ended up with Elizabeth that way.

[glass eagle]

guy was 10 different levels of awful

[wooden oxide]

Shhh!!! They don’t need to know that.

[humble sequoia]

Props to him for choosing the love of his life

[glass eagle]

[sonic grove]

it's ironic that the church of england didn't grant the divorce

that's literally why it was created

[wooden oxide]

Exactly. Let’s go with that angle and mention nothing else.

[glass eagle]

dodged us a bullet to be fair

[sonic grove]

couldn't he have overruled it though?

[glass eagle]

yes

[sonic grove]

he was supreme governer of the english church after all

[wooden oxide]

That must’ve been pretty galling.

[glass eagle]

but then the cabinet would have to resign

and monarchs had to remain politically neutral

[sonic grove]

ah

[glass eagle]

so he had no choice

otherwise it could have been a charlesian situation

😬

not this one of course

should we move into #😎off-topic ? kinda hogging general with history

[wooden oxide]

Possibly…

[humble sequoia]

All in agreement to move mourning the queens passing to off topic say aye x

[stark kernel]

🙋‍♀️

I should probably sign off though. I still have some stretches I have to do before bed. 🙈

[reef stream]

What's strange about that?

[tight spear]

They always want to blame sanctions, but it's just business.

"I don't understand why there is no Russian voice acting." Well, unless you're an executive at Warner Bros., you probably never will. For some reason, they decided the cost does not outweigh the benefit. Whether it's file sizes for one more language, or costs to finding talent, they simply chose not to.

FYI file size is a very real possibility for consoles.

[magic sinew]

And majority of recent and past WB releases don't have RU voice acting anyway

[humble sequoia]

She has

[tight spear]

Big claim, better make sure.

[humble sequoia]

I am from uk

Saw the news she has passed

Just pray for one thing lads DONT BE LIKE CYBERPUNK 🤣

[magic sinew]

Cyberpunk is great game so I don't see why not 🙄

[humble sequoia]

I mean like bugs and glitches as a joke

[tight spear]

Cyberpunk is playable now. It had a bad launch, but it's far from unique in that.

[humble sequoia]

I already finished the game even when the bugs where there well the main story

[magic sinew]

It was always playable, it just got massive hate hit due to CEO's PR management. Moving terrible PR aside, it is still great game

[tight spear]

Ehhh it had some real bugs and issues at the start, even on pc.

[humble sequoia]

I am thinking the same il call myself palpy join Gryffindoor for red symbol for the empire and do little star wars vibe and become straight up villain 🤣🤣

[humble sequoia]

One of the bugs was so hilarious though as i was driving around town some random car just appeared in mid air and dropped infront of a shop

Which destroyed the shop sign haha

The wand i saw that works like alexa tho i so want that

[magic sinew]

You've been (un)lucky then I guess. After over 300 hours in which majority at day 1 version the only bug I encountered was Silverhand subtitles not going out of hud screen

[tight spear]

I had my weapons not doing damage.

Bullets and sword phase through targets

[magic sinew]

Me too. But unfortunately I'm gonna get just Steam codes for Feb 7th and wait for rest of that edition to be send to my place. I had to order in Ireland because WB cleverly decided to not release PC CE in vast majority of Europe

[humble sequoia]

Doesn’t ireland have game store?

I ordered mine from there online

[magic sinew]

It does have GameStop. Except I'm not from Ireland

[humble sequoia]

Ah haha

What do you think of the common rooms

I think they done a superb job on it.

[magic sinew]

I like how cozy Hufflepuff is. Ravenclaw looks good too. Gryffindor is not a surprise at all and unlike most of people in this discord I find Slytherin the least interesting.

[worldly yacht]

People like the entrance, I hardly hear them talk about the room

[tight spear]

Slytherin needs a little more decor. Too rocky and barren.

Gryffindor is reliably boring, but it's not as sterile as Ravenclaw.

The Huff House is just Hobbiton.

[worldly yacht]

Seeing as though they fidnt have a lot of reference material for the hufflepuff house, they did a great job

[tight spear]

All of them are excellent, my critique is minor at best.

[worldly yacht]

All of them are what I'd think they should be

[tight spear]

Slytherin needs more columns and black stone, onyx or obsidian. It's too green and gray. Needs some contrast.

[ebon latch]

Hello

[humble sequoia]

Sup@ebon latch

[grim marsh]

hey guys i have a question

[twilit flume]

Shoot

[ebon latch]

What is it

[humble sequoia]

Greetings @twilit flume

[twilit flume]

G'day

[grim marsh]

with hogwarts legacy being 5th year do you thing they will do owls

[twilit flume]

We're not sure what they will include so far, but it is a possibility, I just wouldn't hold onto it too tight

[grim marsh]

yea, im gonna get the pc version and ps4

hoping my small computer can download the pc one on release day lol

[scenic void]

Does anyone know if the Collector's Edition on Best Buy is sold out or just not available right now? I heard somewhere that it was already sold out but i just see "Coming Soon" on all of them

[twilit flume]

Its sold out

They lasted less than a day

Theres a slight SLIGHT chance there will be a re-stock, but its highly unlikely

[scenic void]

That's some bull lmao

[grim marsh]

if hogwarts legacy can go on my pc ill download and play on the flight home haha

[severe plover]

Hey

[scenic void]

My Gf really wanted the collector's but honestly if it's like everything else it's gonna be near impossible to get your hands on one that's not overpriced

[twilit flume]

Correct, unless you want to pay scalper prices on Ebay, you probably won't be able to get one

Just keep a close eye on your local game store sites, or even go instore and ask if there is a list you can get on to be called if one comes available

[severe plover]

You could‘ve bought First day now too late + money doesnt matter will prob sell for more than you bought it

[scenic void]

I don't think i would've been able to buy one first day, i heard it was sold out in seconds

[twilit flume]

Yeah scalpers are a pain

[severe plover]

Gamestop had Them in Stock

[scenic void]

But it's Gamestop tho 😂

[severe plover]

Ye Sold out in like 5min

[magic sinew]

Too late in US. It is still available in UK, Ireland and in case of PS/Xbox ones in Poland

[grim marsh]

lol

i think im happy with deluxe one

[scenic void]

If i can buy a game without going through Gamestop imma do it

[twilit flume]

Bruh

If you need one and gamestop has one why aren't you doing that

[severe plover]

Do you think slitheryn pupils will still be Bad ones in the game, although Tom wasnt born

[twilit flume]

Slytherin has always been 'bad'

[scenic void]

I mean if that were the case then i would do it, if i have the option to not use them though then that's the route i wanna take

[grim marsh]

who knows, as with this game you can be bad any house

[severe plover]

Ik but the Bad thing only got really popular since Tom was one

[grim marsh]

hmm apprently pc version you need 84gb

[twilit flume]

No, Slytherin has always been the 'bad' house, Slytherin has always released the most dark wizards of the Hogwarts houses

[severe plover]

[scenic void]

My only thing is i really wish we could've seen a form of Multiplayer, other than that it looks really promising

[silent yarrow]

Newt Scamander was good reason enough to join Hufflepuff, love that character 😄

[grim marsh]

my pc is under 60

[grim marsh]

newt wont be in this game right...

[silent yarrow]

hurry up Feb 😛

[twilit flume]

I'm so glad there is no multiplayer

[severe plover]

Thats Not my point slytherin is still like 2nd Most popular House from the hp fanbase so the Studio might make them good?

[silent yarrow]

doesn't need to be in the game

[scenic void]

Tbh i've never been a big Harry Potter fan until i met my Gf, she made me watch all the movies haha

[silent yarrow]

he was merely the influence

[marble star]

Absolutely agreed he's a great character 🥺

[twilit flume]

No, that would change already-established story, why would they just suddenly up and change it

[grim marsh]

i like being hufflepuff hehe

[silent yarrow]

also took that test at Wizarding World and it placed me in Hufflepuff, fun little quiz

[severe plover]

Ah i see, still wondered tho

[scenic void]

Idk, i still think it would've been cool for some Co-Op, maybe even PvP

[twilit flume]

Thats fine, but yeah Slytherin has always been regarded as the bad house, all the way back to the founding members, that doesn't mean all slytherins are bad or anything, just that its the house that produces the most dark wizards

[grim marsh]

dumbledore and that wont be in it either will they

[twilit flume]

Nah Dumbledore didn't start till like 1892 or 93 I think

[severe plover]

The only thing Im gonna do in this Game is Taking ma lessons idc bout the story lmao just want to experience hogwarts and all around it

[grim marsh]

thought so

[silent yarrow]

i mean if Bellatrix, Malfoy and Severus Snape are representatives of house Slytherin then yes they do a lot of bad magic

Bellatrix is crazy

[severe plover]

Kinda got teased in the Trailers that this one slytherin Boy could become your Friend and only has this Bad appearence

[twilit flume]

Don't get me wrong, you can have dark wizards from any house, and you can have good wizards from all houses, and yes Sebby is a confirmed companion you can get and he is a Slytherin

[grim marsh]

whats gonna be interesting is if like after you finish the full year at hogwarts, if you can still explore and collect things you didnt

[severe plover]

Do I smell juicy insider info from an intern???

[twilit flume]

My darling, its in the videos they have released from the games

[twilit flume]

There are plenty here, just wait around

[severe plover]

Werher Seems extreme…

[grim marsh]

[severe plover]

Is it possible that you could make roles to See where people are from

@twilit flume ?

Sry for tagging

[tight spear]

That's easy, just say thing like "Gratis Würstchen und Sauerkraut!" and see who comes.

[grim marsh]

ok im gonna go and binge this new show hehe

[severe plover]

💀

Digga

[twilit flume]

No, us mods don't have any control over the roles, thats handled by WB, and I don't see it being something that gets added any time soon

[twin halo]

Everything is Australia

[twilit flume]

Yes

[burnt ravine]

Rip queen of England

[humble sequoia]

Indeed. All us Canadians are mourning her loss.

[wild niche]

I think everyone is

[silent yarrow]

cool i got a redwood wand with a phoenix core

dunno what it all means but it sounds cool

[wild niche]

I think mine was spruce or birch

[gray bobcat]

Redwood and a feather from a phoenix really sounds cool

[silent yarrow]

it does

Voldemort and Harry both had phoenix core wands

only thing was their cores came from the same phoenix, or something like that

[humble sequoia]

Priori Incantatum.

[gray bobcat]

Mine is a wand made of cedar wood with dragon heart string 👀

[silent yarrow]

neat

hermione had a dragon heart string wand i think

[humble sequoia]

My wand is
Wood: Rowan
Core: Jackalope Antler
Length: 13 Inches 3/4 (Whatever that means)
Flexibility: Slightly Swishy

[silent yarrow]

yeah i got 13 inch

hard flexibility

[gray bobcat]

Lucius Malfoy, too. Slughorns wand was made of cedar wood

[humble sequoia]

Harder wands are "More powerful" but "Less willing to accept others".

[silent yarrow]

hard flex with a phoenix core i think makes my wand near impossible

😛

a wonder how such a wand picked me rofl

[gray bobcat]

How did you get that core? 👀

[silent yarrow]

yeah 1st time i seen a Jackalope Antler core

[humble sequoia]

By being a North American.

[silent yarrow]

unique

[humble sequoia]

Also I made my own wand after taking the test

[spare gulch]

I had a ghost mess with my door knob. How do I rid of the paranormal?

[silent yarrow]

aha

[spare gulch]

I'm not interested of having ghosts in my home.

[silent yarrow]

pay it no attention,if it escalates then you do something

[spare gulch]

Okay

👀 imagine the whole house shaking

[silent yarrow]

usually they do disturbing things to gather your attention

[silent yarrow]

pay it none it'll go away

[spare gulch]

Apparently

If I had said ghost devices then I'd contact

But that's all expensive

💀

[humble sequoia]

Let us just call the Ghostbusters.

[spare gulch]

Easier said than done

[silent yarrow]

it's a touchy subject fer sure one of controversy, if i never had my own experiences with it not sure i'd be a believer

[twin halo]

light some candles!

throw some salt down

[spare gulch]

I consider myself half skeptical

👀

I believe in them... but not fully

...if that even makes sense

[twin halo]

you should belive

[spare gulch]

I do... sort of

[silent yarrow]

does to me, i have also been on some live investigations

kinda spooky

[twin halo]

I'm more scared of the living than the dead.

[spare gulch]

My dad visited me in my sleep later teens years after he had died when I was 13.

[silent yarrow]

you sound like a sensitive to that world

[twin halo]

I do love paranormal talk

[silent yarrow]

that's ok i too am attuned, not by choice

oops to myself

lol but yeah attuned to that stuff also, they like to visit and bother me a lot

[spare gulch]

What's that?

[silent yarrow]

unexpected places too

just sensitive to the spirit world

[spare gulch]

What does ot mean to be a sensitive?

Oh oh ooooh

[silent yarrow]

it means if they visit you,you are attuned

and they know it

[spare gulch]

It's a weird coincidence for sure

[silent yarrow]

they don't make themselves known to just anyone

[twin halo]

is it really a coincidence though

[spare gulch]

Like... I still miss my dad 👀

[silent yarrow]

and not for no reason eitherthere's usually a reason behind the visits

[spare gulch]

🤔

[humble sequoia]

My Dad is still alive and I don't miss him. ><

[silent yarrow]

lol awwwee

[twin halo]

same gravy

[spare gulch]

RIP

[humble sequoia]

Yes, RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

[twilit flume]

Yeah I never met my dad but I assume he's still around somewhere

[spare gulch]

When I had my vivid dream of my dad I was 17... I'm currently 31

[silent yarrow]

met my dad one time, found out he wasn't dad material at all

[spare gulch]

I'm so old

[twin halo]

my da lives somewhere in Dublin 🤷

[spare gulch]

Da-da

[twin halo]

ta-dah

[spare gulch]

Dah- ta

[silent yarrow]

man now i got 2 games i am really waiting for

this Harry Potter one obviously

[twin halo]

the other one issssss

[silent yarrow]

but that Dune Awakening also

[twin halo]

it looks so good

[silent yarrow]

ikr

Funcom better not mess that up

[twin halo]

I haven't seen the movie, but I have read Dune looks pretty accurate to the world

[spare gulch]

If I am to contact ghost, I don't want demons playing mimic.

[silent yarrow]

i'm also currently playing Hogwart's Mystery on my phone

heh

[twin halo]

don't contact them

[spare gulch]

👀
