[subtle canyon]

Wow.

[hexed shore]

Yeah idk how im gonna cope. Chose the 12 month instead of the 9 month though so I have a tad more time

[subtle canyon]

I need more work in my field. 😭

[subtle canyon]

My mum did similar in her 40s.

[hushed holly]

I failed to even complete my HND

😢

[hexed shore]

Im essentially using a Masters to delay adulthood for a year and to shift career paths

[subtle canyon]

She stretched it to two years.

So did a year on theory while working

[hushed holly]

lol, that's a valid tactic Swift

[subtle canyon]

Then did the next year with laboratory research.

[hexed shore]

Yeah its like half taught, half thesis

[subtle canyon]

While not working between jobs.

And dad became the breadwinner for that year.

Now mum earns more than him. Lol.

[hexed shore]

Thankfully somehow got into one of our Russel groups after copping out on a nice small uni for undergrad

[hushed holly]

despite having been out of education for almost 6 years now, I'm tempted to go back into it come this september, just got to find a course or courses that I want to do.

preferably some software stuff

[hexed shore]

If you dont wanna do a full course, a lot of councils will have tech charities who will train people in programming languages for free

[subtle canyon]

That’s cool.

[hushed holly]

and hopefully not spend 4 years trying and failing to do a 2 year course cos of mental health issues

[subtle canyon]

Ouch.

My mental health was cleared even if I do still have what I’ve got I just have learnt coping strategies to deal with it. So no more meds.

Not saying meds are bad if you need you need em.

[hushed holly]

ugh I wish, I've looked at basically every college in Nottinghamshire, and I'm upset cos when the pandemic started, I had booked a January start software development course that uses C# the language I use to make games, and it got cancelled and the college hasn't run the course since.

And no college in Notts has a 3 month programming course on currently.

[hexed shore]

Oh damn that sucks - maybe with things being more remote, there could be some more options?

[subtle canyon]

Ouch.

Are there online courses?

[hushed holly]

Counselling for me worked.

I actually haven't tried the Open University

I don't know why, I just never really looked at it

[subtle canyon]

It may be worth it…

I’ve considered it but idk

[hexed shore]

My mum got one of her degrees with Open, I'd be aware it is a lot more work than a normal university as its primarily independent

But they may have some Diplomas instead

[subtle canyon]

Hmmm need to be really motivated.

[hushed holly]

depending on what the course is, I don't mind independent work

[subtle canyon]

Also though means you can do it in own time so can work during day time.

Or night time work and day time study. just means you’d have a very full plate.

[hushed holly]

seems they offer Certificates, Diplomas, and Degrees.

[hexed shore]

The first two may be a nice choice if you have work to work around or something similar!

[hushed holly]

I currently am a NEET, Not in Employment, Education or Training.

Though I did sign up for that taster course for BSL come May 3rd

the building is pretty much right next to a tram stop, so it's easy to get to

[hexed shore]

Trams are a godsend

[hushed holly]

indeed

yet Nottingham hasn't added onto its tram system since 2012

we've been banking on HS2 coming to Toton

which well that's unlikely now so it's canned the ideas that were going to happen

[hexed shore]

LOL, going to Manchester its a must at times

[hushed holly]

no Derby to Nottingham city centre tram connection anytime soon

it's dumb cos the Derby/Nottingham metropolitan area comprises around 2 million people making it the 4th biggest in Britain

basically London, Birmingham and Manchester are ahead

then Nottingham's urban area covers over 900,000 people

and the actual city itself is some 325,000 people

[hexed shore]

Yeah its mad there arent adequate facilities. I grew up wayyy down south with about 500k people in the entire county, but my town alone goes up by 10x the population cus tourism

[hushed holly]

There's a lot of people here that could benefit from some form of tram system or a metro system, like I live in a village in the countryside some 20 miles away from the city, but if there was even just 1 more tram line in the city then it'd mean an extra bus per hour to my local town, meaning easier connections for me

alas, funding

Manchester gets to have its own transport body that can request funds from the Treasury directly, and it's doing amazing stuff with it

[hexed shore]

Yeah, itd be amazing to see other places be able to have the same privilege

[hushed holly]

it's set to become the largest tram system in Europe if it keeps growing at the current rate, which is great, especially as Manchester recently announced a £2 cap on all bus fares, meaning per journey you should never pay more than £2

does mean you may still be having to pay £5-6 or more to go on several busses, but hey, it's a damned good start

[subtle canyon]

Trams then trams were removed for petrol chugging Busses now trams. Are going back in so lots of road works but no one wants to pay for it.

So have trams and busses but trams need more infustructure. Also had trams then when hot rid of narrowed roads so buildings could be bigger.

So it’s dumb city planning.

[hushed holly]

err, not fully sure what you're trying to say there

you mean trains or trams?

[subtle canyon]

Trams.

Spell check is messing with me.

[hushed holly]

think you might want to edit your messages to clear up your meaning then

[ruby basin]

💀

[subtle canyon]

Better?

[hushed holly]

err not really as it's the grammar of the other words, but I get the idea about the removal of tram lines in the past and the rebuilding of them now causing problems because of lack of interesting in paying for the initially higher infrastructure cost.

I will note that busses aren't bad even if they use petrol. It still uses less petrol per passenger and also causes less damage to the road per passenger as well as carrying more people in less space.

Plus it's not like you can have trolley busses all the way out into the countryside

welp that ended the chat, lol.

[hardy isle]

JK Rowling release SEA wizardy school when ?👀

ngl, I am still waiting for her release the school of wizarding in South-East Asia

[hushed holly]

it'd make sense for there to be one

[hardy isle]

found it, it says "Asia is a continent in the eastern hemisphere. The known wizarding nations that comprised it were Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, and Thailand."

why Malaysia doesn't have ;-;

[hushed holly]

I'm not going to lie, I have a dim view on Rowling's lack of thought about other cultures and histories and areas of the world in general.

[hardy isle]

interesting

[hushed holly]

Rowling once tried to say that Mahoutokoro, the Japanese school is the only magic school in Asia

[hardy isle]

interesting

[hushed holly]

to which many people pointed out that A) the school is listed as having the smallest student body of the 11 major schools whilst being in a country with twice Britain's population, B) China's population, C) India's population, D Indonesia's population, and many other problems least of which is the after effects of WW2 and most of Asia having a dim view of Japan.

[midnight heron]

guys

[hardy isle]

oh wait, almost forgot that Malaysia mythical are kinda similar as the Indonesia, maybe both are related so that maybe JK Rowling won't write inside?

[hushed holly]

as I said, Rowling is not exactly the brightest when it comes to writing anything that isn't British and even then she puts about as much thought into the history of it as the average person does into breathing, which is to say next to none.

[midnight heron]

anyone know when we're getting the game?

is it around Christmas time?

[hushed holly]

yes

[hardy isle]

oooooo

[hushed holly]

Holiday period

[midnight heron]

niceee

[hushed holly]

so end of November to December some time

#👉faq

[midnight heron]

cool cool

[hushed holly]

but as I was saying, Rowling and other cultures is not a great mix

for example the French Ministry of Magic instead of the République Magique de France

or MACUSA

[hardy isle]

heard that before on Fantastic Beast

MACUSA? What's that?

[hushed holly]

Magical Congress of the United States of America

[hardy isle]

huh, interesting

[hushed holly]

only guess what, it was meant to be made in the mid 1600s, some 130 years before the real USA came about in 1776

so why is it A) a congress, and B) of the USA when that didn't exist at the time

I could understand the "New World Parliament" or instead North America being split up into a variety of magical governments like say a "The Congress of the Thirteen" and some form of Native American conglomerate government, and then maybe a French and a Spanish magical colony government.

[hardy isle]

speaking of magic, can we imagine that the students situation now in Hogwarts due to COVID-19 situations? 😂

[hushed holly]

like magical Americans from the upper East Coast of the US should be called Thirteeners as they'd belong to the magical government which developed from the Thirteen Colonies.

[hushed holly]

bubble head charms, the teachers would just give everyone bubble-head charms

Hello

[onyx turret]

muggles

[hardy isle]

?

[jolly swift]

Hello guys good morning

[surreal lake]

Good morning

[subtle canyon]

I don’t think that’s entirely fair as the harry-potter books were initially designed for children. And children are not ones who typically research so thoroughly into topics. it just so happens that a lot of us are nerds who do follow up on what she writes. And have developed feelings mixed though they may be.

[rose eagle]

Morning!!

[subtle canyon]

Since then absolutely she and those that she’s endorsed have butchered quite a bit on the initial lore.

To the point it’s gotten quite ambiguous

[hushed holly]

Technically the Hobbit was also written for children, I think there's quite a bit of difference as to the care given to the worlds there.

[arctic valve]

👋

[subtle canyon]

For sure.

[hushed holly]

But even ignoring that point, there's also the fact that she's continued this trend into the Fantastic Beasts films

[subtle canyon]

I’m not arguing by comparison I’m just saying that she initially target audience was children.

And the hobbit being for young kids. Ummm so much death.

[subtle canyon]

Oh yeh no absolutely and that’s where I agree most with you.

[hushed holly]

I'll counter with The Edge Chronicles, a series still found in the 11-15 year old range in book stores that has descriptions and images of people being decapitated and much worse.

[subtle canyon]

But I don’t see an issue with going Jesus was a wizard and necromancer and Merlin was and Arthur pendragon was king of magic though a muggle for a time after uthors persecution of magic. Etc.

[hushed holly]

death in childrens books doesn't stop them from being childrens books, nor does having a detailed and rich world

[subtle canyon]

Cause from a lore point of view they’re interesting backstories. That is if you do it right.

[subtle canyon]

True. I just feel like depends how you go about it.

[hushed holly]

again with The Edge Chronicles, that world is just full of details from different types of flora and fauna to how everday life works in the big cities in the world

[subtle canyon]

Hmmm.

[hushed holly]

I highly recommend the first 10 books of the series

you can skip on 11-13, not as good

[subtle canyon]

Have you read ending and feist?

Eddings

Cause I 💯 recommend the belgariad and malorian series

[hushed holly]

I assume with the latter you mean Raymond E. Feist

[subtle canyon]

Yup

[hushed holly]

at which point no I haven't read his works

[subtle canyon]

I call em by last names as I don’t know them personally.

[hushed holly]

I've sort of looked at them, but they've never really grabbed me ideas wise

[subtle canyon]

Oh shame I think You’d like them starting with Magician from a world building perspective. It’s a 25 book world build based on medieval earth across two to three dimensional planes.

With cultural magic using the same base but with different languages and so in depth.

And also different concepts.

For each culture.

That is depicted. And their are cultural references throughout his magician multiverse

Um but David and Leigh Eddings have similar skill in world building but with focus on character dev as their primary focus.

[wind cairn]

why is it when there's boring book talk its always you 2

jk love u guys

[hushed holly]

honestly I've found I'm remarkably uneducated on the classics of sci-fi and fantasy really, though that might be due to my dislike of chosen one stories really

there are few that I get on with enough to actually push through and read

ohwell, it just means more books to buy and read in the future

til then, I need sleep

[wind cairn]

good night/morning

[jolly swift]

Good morning 👋

[subtle canyon]

Good evening.

[subtle canyon]

Because it’s a giant book/film club. Lol. And soon to be game club.

[wind cairn]

nerds. hey snitch good morning

[jolly swift]

Hello Malus how you doing?

[abstract bobcat]

Good morning all 🥱

[tight lava]

evening/morning all

[wind cairn]

im just taking a break, feel like im here too much maybe a week or 2 will clear my wanted rating

[jolly swift]

What? Work?

[wind cairn]

No, just feel like i need to

try not to get into too much trouble okay 😉

[subtle canyon]

Good luck.

Not that you need luck to get into trouble.

😁

[jolly swift]

But but this is what you do 😂

Trouble is you

[subtle canyon]

We need someone to be as scape goat.

Amd at least you’re a G.O.A.T.

[tight lava]

no promises

[jolly swift]

Poor Malus 😂

[subtle canyon]

What. G.O.A.T mean greatest of all time.

It’s a compliment.

🤔

[subtle canyon]

Did we go too far?🥺

[jolly swift]

Maybe 👀 not sure with Malus to be honest 🤷‍♀️ 😂

[subtle canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/wongrande-gif-24458192

[jolly swift]

Ahahahah aww poor doggo

[subtle canyon]

No clue.

That’s like asking if I don’t like star wars will I not like lord of the rings?

@Lexi#3985 sorry dude. Didn’t mean to make you feel bad. offfers hand in friendship. (Very much like Malfoy only with more class.)

I mean what don’t you like about elden ring?

That’s how I feel about assassins odessey atm.

I’m trying for 💯 completion.

[jolly swift]

Since Hogwarts will be an open world game it seems like it will be a pretty big game I hope so at least 🤷‍♀️

[subtle canyon]

Same.

[abstract bobcat]

Judging from the map we've seen, its looking to be

Smart of the devs to show off such a large chunk of the map and not include Hogwarts

Really gives a sense just how massive this world's gonna be

[remote prawn]

Anyone know what the requirements laptop for play hogwarts?

[abstract bobcat]

Probably beefy

If it cant play something like Witcher 3 or Eldin Ring, it probably cant play Hogwarts

[humble sequoia]

They are two different types of game, elden ring is a souls like, hogworts legacy a rpg, also the world building is so different

[subtle canyon]

Graphics wise I’d think visually similar.

Even if gameplay is drastically different.

[remote prawn]

Thanks

[humble sequoia]

True, i think gameplay will be totally different

[dim stone]

You can pre order Hogwarts legacy now

[humble sequoia]

Idk if it'll be better than elden ring' s gameplay

[cursive sinew]

Where?

[dim stone]

@cursive sinew Amazon

[cursive sinew]

thanks

[dim stone]

@cursive sinew np

[sour bridge]

what does in mean in the faq that its gonna release on holiday

like what holiday or unaware

[abstract bobcat]

Whenever a company says "Releasing Holiday" it typically means November - December

[scarlet walrus]

That just means the end of the year, it's usually used when referring to the period between Thanksgiving and New Year.

[hardy isle]

Maybe Christmas?

[safe tendon]

its possible, as was stated its just set to release in that period of time, not exact date as yet

Once we have that you'll find it in #📢announcements and/or #👉faq

[hardy isle]

I mean, the first episode of the HP are around Christmas, right? 🤔

But yeah, I think it is worth to wait for it release, since it is a big project for WB game and global

[safe tendon]

Dev's are working hard, I'm down to give them all the time they need to bring us this game

[shell knot]

For some reason ppl see them as Christmas movies (me too, the musics fit to Christmas and they often vome out from tv at holidays). Ok first 2 has it more visible but they are all still only about full schoolyear

[dense wagon]

so is there no multiplayer or co op

[ionic kraken]

Good morning

[silver jasper]

No

[humble sequoia]

Halloween is a pretty good christmas movie….

[hardy isle]

Sadly no, but hey, it still a good game, who doesn't want to explore what inside the wizard world :D

We have read the stories, watch the movies, play the games (F to Harry Potter AR Games, best game but sadly have been shutdown) and heard the shows, but we never get a chance to visit another deep inside the world of wizard, kinds hype that we can get to see what's inside

[low galleon]

Lol I found a video of Donatello on steroids

[tight lava]

hiii how are y’all doing today?

[rose eagle]

Helllooo

[subtle canyon]

heya

[open gyro]

@hexed shore isnt dragon age based on books or do I have a false memory in my head

[hexed shore]

The dragon age games aren't based off anything, but they do have books that are written about them by the developers. For example, one of the books looks more in depth into a character and concept introduced in the game

They couldn't explore it in game, so they released a story on it

[open gyro]

o

[hexed shore]

[subtle canyon]

i like dragon age.

[open gyro]

I got ea play and im not even playing them 😢

[subtle canyon]

hmmmm

[open gyro]

so I basically wasted 30 dollars because none of the games (except for fallen order) on ea play are actually good

[subtle canyon]

i thought they were bioware?

[open gyro]

and then I got fallen order for free on prime

[tranquil shard]

Still a goat game

[open gyro]

well the mass effect trilogy seems boring to me

[subtle canyon]

my fallen order didnt launch cause ea launcher was buggy

[tranquil shard]

What's y'all fav moment in fallen order tho?

[open gyro]

idk

[subtle canyon]

never played it i demanded a refund

[open gyro]

it was all good

[open gyro]

you get one?

[subtle canyon]

it was super buggy

[tranquil shard]

Hmm interesting moment in the game ngl

[subtle canyon]

half

[open gyro]

Ark should i get gamepass

[subtle canyon]

😭

[tranquil shard]

Don't play on Xbox i do. Better you decide

Also i have no knowledge abt the game pass

[subtle canyon]

neither

[tranquil shard]

Better than nothin atleast

[subtle canyon]

i play steam or direct from game co.

[tranquil shard]

Pssssss

For me

[subtle canyon]

not a fan of steam pricings

[open gyro]

It has EA play, Bethesda games, soon to have activision blizzard games, Ubisoft games for like 10 dollars a month

[tranquil shard]

Seems like an obv purchase

[subtle canyon]

but theyre ok at support help

[tranquil shard]

But 10 dollars damn

[subtle canyon]

one off payment thx

i dont subscribe

[tranquil shard]

Yes

So like you go for yearly plans

[subtle canyon]

cant afford to

[open gyro]

well they do a 1 dollar deal for your first month

[tranquil shard]

Once

[open gyro]

and after a few months you get the 1 dollar deal back

[subtle canyon]

i go for lifetime plans...

[wispy robin]

i have returned

[open gyro]

I kinda wanna try refunding my EA play sub through steam

[winged venture]

Yo

[tranquil shard]

Why don't you do it and then unsub from it

Yo man

[open gyro]

thats a scam

[tranquil shard]

As one should

[subtle canyon]

steam wont do it unless the fault is through them

[open gyro]

you get half your money and dont even keep the game

[subtle canyon]

fault being faulty-ness

[winged venture]

How was exam? It was pretty dumb easy right

[open gyro]

I just wanna refund it cuz I dont use it

[tranquil shard]

Ayo what tom you turned blue?
And yes the exam was great

[subtle canyon]

you may be able to pitch a case,

[winged venture]

:)

[tranquil shard]

We got a passage abt jk rowling so yo

[subtle canyon]

but if its ea yu may have better luck through ea

[winged venture]

Ayo I think different sets

[tranquil shard]

Yeah

[winged venture]

We didn't :(

[tranquil shard]

I got lucky i believe

[open gyro]

what do you mean?

[winged venture]

Well, you have the power and fate of Hogwarts Legacy

[tranquil shard]

So do you and that's why your paper went great

[winged venture]

Aha yeah! Noice!
Hail Hogwarts!

[tranquil shard]

Hail Hogwarts!

[subtle canyon]

its why i only got half refund for fallen order i preordered through steam but the EA launcher was suppper bugggy and i compiled logs on both steam and ea steams codes were working fine but EA was not so in the end i only got the difference between steam and ea back.

[open gyro]

so should I even try?

[subtle canyon]

from EA

[red moat]

While me and my girlfriend were watching the A Wheel of Time show, she kept pointing out how much of the story was very similar to so many things in Dragon Age. Not that I think it's based of one another, but the writers of Dragon Age were probably reading/fans of A Wheel of Time 😅

[tranquil shard]

Its also a bit similar to lotr i heard

[subtle canyon]

ive not read a wheel of time...

whats it like?

[tranquil shard]

The usual

A dark lord
Maggoty soldiers
Magic
Good swords

[open gyro]

whatever I only bought it for like 30 dollars anyway...

[tranquil shard]

Slick combat

I suppose that is it

[karmic fable]

Hi

[tranquil shard]

Same goes for console too

Take or give 2 usd

[subtle canyon]

not trying to discourage just saying its an effort of a process to do.....but if it subscription you can cancel it and you may have lost money for up to now but at least your nt loosing future moneys

[red moat]

Haven't actually read it, I watched the show though. It was pretty alright. Plot seemed interesting, casting was hit and miss.

[open gyro]

I cancelled the renew so i wont get charged

[subtle canyon]

better or worse than dragon age?

[tranquil shard]

Btw how's this for a game
Ryse: son of rome

I hope i got the name right

[shut comet]

@subtle canyon

Who was that guy that I thought he change his pfp??? I found someone who looks like him

[subtle canyon]

hey

[red moat]

I'm afraid I can't say, I never got more than a few hours into any Dragon Age game

[subtle canyon]

idk who?

[shut comet]

It’s okay thank you

[subtle canyon]

no i mean like kick start memory?! lol

[shut comet]

Ping me if you find them

HA I wish

[subtle canyon]

how can i find someone i dont know who im looking for? 🤨

[tawdry rose]

hello

[frank kettle]

Hello

Does anyone else like to be a animargus in the new game?

[reef glacier]

100% if I can decide what animal

[frank kettle]

Yeah i think that would be a great addition. What animal would you be?

[reef glacier]

Probably a fox or something idk, maybe an otter, they are cute! A hedgehog is also an option haha

wbu?

[frank kettle]

Lol Buggs, i would be a Fox too. But nice choice :)

[humble sequoia]

The only downside of this is that you can only choose one...

[subtle canyon]

That’s fine with me

Also transfiguration. Spell full body transfiguration

elden ring is a beautiful game with beautiful graphics and a very large map to explore but the downside is the gameplay that is extremely difficult and the story I did not understand at all

you're not an existential crises

[jolly swift]

who? 🤔

[humble sequoia]

I cracked the corner of my phone screen today….

[lilac lily]

I have a problem and I don’t even care that this is a Hogwarts legacy server

[amber mango]

shoot

[lilac lily]

So two friends keep making jokes about them liking eachother and being married to eachother and stuff but now one of them said to me that she actually likes her and wants to know if the other one actually likes her too and I don’t want to say no but I also don’t know how to figure it out without telling them that the other one likes them

[jolly swift]

are they close friends of yours?

[lilac lily]

Fairly

Why?

[jolly swift]

I mean if they are not I am not sure if you should interfere to be honest this is something they need to find out for themselves, is also pretty awkward for you as well

[amber mango]

^agreed

[lilac lily]

Thanks for the advice

Did it anyway tho 😂

[jolly swift]

ahahaha it's 100% up to you anw 😄

[humble sequoia]

[blazing viper]

hey everyone 🙂

[jolly swift]

Hellooo

[blazing viper]

how’s everyone doing today, still aimlessly waiting for any news about the game I suspect 😂

[jolly swift]

yes waiting fortunately I have some other thinks to be excited for this year so I have thinks to do until HL :p

[blazing viper]

lucky this is all i’ve been thinking about for a while

[winged venture]

lalalalalalalalalalaaaaa

[jolly swift]

You don't have other thinks to be passionate about? maybe a book that you want or a movie you are waiting for or a game?

[jolly swift]

ummmmm ok....

[winged venture]

uncommentable reply

[blazing viper]

I guess I should reread the hp books since it’s been a while

[winged venture]

ok

[blazing viper]

I do have things to keep me occupied but I am just too excited for HL @jolly swift

[jolly swift]

that's a pretty good idea I will do it as well before the game comes out

[winged venture]

the bird here is hawk right

[blazing viper]

raven

[reef glacier]

I have never seen so much red.

[winged venture]

No

[reef glacier]

It's Hawkenclaw

[winged venture]

Well bugs are tiny and can't overtake Huge Beasts

[reef glacier]

You've seen a tiny virus take over the world, no?

[winged venture]

No I haven't

Uranus is far away from viruses

[jolly swift]

[reef glacier]

No, but I am bug(g)s...

[winged venture]

[wild niche]

[raven ferry]

All we know is in #👉faq and the sop vids

We don't know much other than that

[mossy lake]

I hope that we get a Voldemort game ngl, it’d be very interesting

[silent ruin]

ah thx thought they maybe droped some info i didnt noticed

[raven ferry]

Np

[jolly swift]

I don't think there is an info we don't know in this server

[raven ferry]

If and when more information is dropped it will be updated accordingly to Faq ect

[open gyro]

or will it 👀

[raven ferry]

Yes

[old onyx]

man do I like to have a shower after work & drop by the bar for nice chill drink 🍷

[jolly swift]

this is an official server so yes it will :p

[open gyro]

Hot showers are the best

[old onyx]

Yup

[open gyro]

I usually stay in my showers for like an hour'

[old onyx]

same 😂 45 mins at least

[jolly swift]

this is the best feeling a cold drink after work like a beer

[old onyx]

yeaa

[humble sequoia]

best feeling is a post workout meal after a good pump

[old onyx]

that too 🔥

[hexed shore]

Personally love an iced coffee on a hot day

[jolly swift]

this 💯

this happened to me once but having a hot bath in the winter after you got rained on it's surely one of the best feelings I had :p

[gentle abyss]

hi

[hexed shore]

I remmeber finishing my Gold DofE expedition. like days of hiking, no showers, carrying your tents etc the entire way

The shower and bath I had after that was heaven

[jolly swift]

Yes that was what I felt exactly since we were walking a lot and also rained on :p it's amazing what a bath can do

[dire quail]

What happened to malus?

[hexed shore]

im not sure :(( He may have just taken a break for a bit

[jolly swift]

he disappears for a Day and everyone is panicking 😂 awww

[bold heron]

ok

[dire quail]

No ones panicking i just asked

[jolly swift]

I think he changed profile or something

[humble sequoia]

[wicked dagger]

Hi Everyone!

[jolly swift]

Helloo

[old onyx]

Hi Steve!

[wicked dagger]

🙂

Hogwarts Legacy looks incredible!

[old onyx]

Indeed it does

What are you most excited about ?

[vale inlet]

Muggles have better weapons then the magic world yes/no?

Can you mass avada Kadavra?

[humble sequoia]

muggles have nukes

[jolly swift]

you mean like a gun, questionable

[vale inlet]

Like have it so it hits many

Instead of just one at a time

[jolly swift]

can't they make nukes with magic ? 🤔

[jolly swift]

whyyyy?

[vale inlet]

Voldemort called himself powerful but the killing curse hits only one person at a time?

[jolly swift]

imagine the power he would have if he could mass avada kedavra

[vale inlet]

I bet that he is able to

Plus there are so many other deadly spells

[wicked dagger]

What am I most excited about? Hmmm- All of it! I hope my machine is up to it! I am a Virtual world designer and builder. I always wanted a Wizarding world to RP and play in

[vale inlet]

What was the spell called where he just screams and then glass shards come flying

[blissful otter]

I'm glad you like it

Love you

[dire quail]

You can easily use protego on bullets

[vale inlet]

Dumbledore probably can do pretty much anything

Probably can stop a volcano

[old onyx]

Imagine you wake up one morning and HL is lying on the table, ready to be played 😂

[dire quail]

Im so jealous my friend got to go to a trip to the wzarding world studios

[vale inlet]

What happened to fluffy at the end of HP philosopher stone

[dire quail]

Ig he got removed

[jolly swift]

are you giving us trivia ? 😂

[vale inlet]

Maybe

Sorry

[jolly swift]

ahahahaha no you can proceed

[vale inlet]

Wow hagrid is alive still

[jolly swift]

you mean the character or the actor?

[dire quail]

Wizards live longer than normal humans

[vale inlet]

Hey why was philosopher stone changed to sorcerer stone?

And I mean character @jolly swift

[jolly swift]

Think it's only sorcerer in the US

[worn rock]

Hi

[jolly swift]

hello

[humble sequoia]

I love that we don’t have to talk about leaks anymore cuz we finally got gameplay

[dire quail]

We never could talk about leaks

[static finch]

Love you too my sweet

[hardy isle]

I think we can't given some leaks, but maybe theory about the game stories and how will it gonna be? I mean, the games are still developing and also not yet release, only showing trailers 🤔

[sonic hearth]

Im a hufflepuff,whatever the game will say lol

We have to chose the house right?

[hardy isle]

You can choose house

[sonic hearth]

Oh okay thanks

[hardy isle]

Join the Hufflepuff House, I've always wanted to visit there

[sonic hearth]

If i remember there will be different stories so you can start with a different house right?

[hardy isle]

Yep

But most importantly the game is an open world game, which you can visit any place you want and discover a place you never been before

[humble sequoia]

The 2nd game of this franchise or its massive dlcs are even gonna be out sooner than gta 6 😭

[humble sequoia]

MALFOY SOLOS

@crimson panther MALFOY SOLOS

[burnt karma]

I have a question: Will Hogwarts Legacy have a free PS5 upgrade ?
I will probably buy the PS4 version... but I wonder if I can get the PS5 version later on

[mossy inlet]

that is a good question, as far as I can tell from my ps4 to ps5 switch its not sure if the game will have a free ps5 upgrade, it can be but it also can be for like 10 euros for the upgrade, so just wait for infos later in time

But either way you will have an upgrade, im sure that you dont need to put another full price of a copy when switching to ps5

[burnt karma]

i hope so

[ruby basin]

Woah, the latest moon knight episode is really mind blowing

[open gyro]

I skipped it

should I watch it?

[normal jacinth]

this game releasing on the xbox right

[dull karma]

no just Switch

[safe tendon]

that is correct

[safe tendon]

You can find everything known at this point here #👉faq

[normal jacinth]

oh, it will be on 360 lets gooooo

[ruby basin]

It’s the newest episode how can you skip it?

[humble sequoia]

yo

[mossy inlet]

it wont be on xbox 360, only xbox X/S and xbox one.

[normal jacinth]

aw comw on!

[open gyro]

just decided to not watch it

[shy linden]

YOU SKIPPED IT?!

[open gyro]

I just havent watched it yet

THought it was gonna be bad

[shy linden]

Xbox 360 wouldn't handle it it would actually give Ring of Death to your xbox

Episode 5 is 10/10

[normal jacinth]

of what show now

[shy linden]

Moon Knight

Ugh next week it will be the last episode

[glossy finch]

where is the pc pre order

[primal osprey]

im playing overwatch beta!

[mossy inlet]

there is no official pre order yet, coming in a few months, but its already on steam so you can whishlist it if you want

[humble sequoia]

any evil?

[fallow lotus]

I finally got time to watch the deathly hallows part 2 and I couldn't stop laughing when i found out harry was raised to be a pig for the slaughter.

[dreamy ingot]

don't pre-order games :)

[wet spoke]

I wonder if this will actually be decent on Switch....I am thinking there is no way they will release a cloud version. Fingers crossed

[grizzled lily]

What’s a cloud version?

[wet spoke]

Like online play version. This is how they released Hitman 3 for switch. Different than digital literally playing from the "cloud"

[open gyro]

Using your internet to connect to a pc that’s somewhere else in the world

[candid mist]

cloud version be like

[obsidian rain]

Hello people I am bored

[sudden ledge]

im just tryna decide what to watch

[obsidian rain]

[gaunt thicket]

[sudden ledge]

[sudden ledge]

[obsidian rain]

O well gl with that

[gaunt thicket]

[ruby basin]

Which animes

[sudden ledge]

ranking of kings and one piece

[gaunt thicket]

[sudden ledge]

[gaunt thicket]

[ruby basin]

Ou, haven’t watched both of them

[verbal egret]

When will Hogwarts Legacy open steam pre orders

[sudden ledge]

[left minnow]

runking of kings is very popular in Japan right now.

[steady lake]

is the game being release in nov or dec this year?

[ruby basin]

Yes

[ruby basin]

More likely December

[wild niche]

holiday area

[mossy lake]

If it gets delayed again I’m gonna cry

[civic void]

@humble sequoia ya water pikachu

[wild niche]

its not

[humble sequoia]

ya snack 💋

[tawdry rose]

e

[wild niche]

[winged venture]

[mossy lake]

Just retook the test and the sorting hat gave me slytherin 👀

[normal stone]

Same result as your first time?

[mossy lake]

No, the first time I got Ravenclaw

[normal stone]

Ah... when I retook it, I's still .

[mossy lake]

I think it’s because I leaned towards Ravenclaw though, I didn’t lean towards anything this time and the sorting hat said that I’d make a great Slytherin

[vale inlet]

does making a houcrux make you automatically evil?

[old onyx]

Baby rock n roll soniye

[tight lava]

i mean, you can only make one by murdering someone with enough evil intent that your soul is split apart. so yes

[abstract bobcat]

Well....to some degree, it could be a matter of perspective

A Horcrux can only be created if you have intent to commit murder, it cant be from self defense or to protect another

But like say if you're going after someone who wronged you and ruined your entire life for the sake of revenge

Its still wrong but its not necessarily evil

If was just for the sake of revenge and then you spent the rest of your life trying to move on. You could still create a Horcrux through those means

At least i think so, I dont know how deep the requirements go.

[somber glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/travis-travis-music-travis-band-the-man-who-abbey-road-studios-gif-20586883

[strange harbor]

@abstract bobcat Now I know why u are ravenclaw

[vale inlet]

Is it the wizard , or the wand, that makes them powerful? Why did Voldemort want the elder wand so badly if he was already very powerful without it

Oh right, villain wants more power always

If so why did Harry break it

[slim phoenix]

Harry didn’t broke the Elder wand. He used it to fix his holly wand and put it back into the tomb

[abstract bobcat]

Bit of both. Wands are what channel the magic, whilst the wizard power depends entirely on their skill, knowledge and capability.
Some wizards like Merlin for example were so powerful that didnt require wands or even speaking to cast his magic. The only known wizard to be capable of such

As for the wand, in the books Harry doesnt break it, he uses it to fix his old wand and returns it to Dumbledores tomb, but the wand would have lost its power once Harry died naturally

In the movie Harry just breaks it because "too powerful, too much temptation, too much trouble worth keeping"

[slim phoenix]

The movies are…. Well…..

[abstract bobcat]

The movies are something else

They have their good moments but some of the things they decided to change and cut were.......

questionable

[slim phoenix]

Yep…

[abstract bobcat]

Had to look up who Pevees was after seeing him in HL because he wasnt in the films

[ashen zealot]

It actually shocked me seeing peeves in the game because how I envisioned him in my head was completely different lol

[vale inlet]

I like how in the movies Voldemort punches harry

And they do hand to hand

[red moat]

Still not sure how much I like his design, but I'm glad he's there nonetheless

[vale inlet]

Voldemort Isn't as ugly in the books

Is he?

Do the books ever mention at all about him being bald , grey , and no nose?

Movies made him way too ugly

[abstract bobcat]

It's incredibly weird how he's dressed tho. Most art work of Peeves, he looks like a jester which is kinda fitting for the old castle and even more so for the 1800's

But in HL, the attire he wears looks sort of like a ringleader outfit

Something from the mid 1900s

[vale inlet]

But I presume that likely is how they are supposed to look

HL?

Ohh this game

I thought HL was something else

[abstract bobcat]

He's worse

**"The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared back into the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was flat as a snake’s but with slits for nostrils…

His hands were like large, pale spiders; his long white fingers caressed his own chest, his arms, his face; the red eyes, whose pupils were slits, like a cat's, gleamed still more brightly through the darkness."**

[vale inlet]

Oh my

And why did he not try to idk, find a better body?

I bet he wishes he could have the Tom riddle diary ghost form back

[abstract bobcat]

I don't think he cared much how he looked. So long as he was alive

[vale inlet]

Wasn't the fight between him and Dumbledore more epic in book then movie?

Since apparently Dumbledore made statues or something

During the battle

[ashen zealot]

Agreed lol I also did not imagine him having color either. When I read the books I always envision him being transparent and colorless like the other ghosts lol

[dull karma]

nice pfp

[winged venture]

thanks

[low galleon]

Howdy, I am back from getting my brain analysed.

The results were indeed shocking.

[barren lodge]

:0 what were the results?

[zinc gust]

maniacal overlord

[low galleon]

I have slight D.I.D

[zinc gust]

slight did

that is very interesting

what symptoms are considered slight

[low galleon]

It will get worse as time goes

[low galleon]

It’s mild, so right now just like, accent changes and mannerisms and such

I barely notice it myself

But it bothered my family enough to take me to get checked

[zinc gust]

they were able to diagnose that in one session?

[low galleon]

Indeed

Very odd isn’t it

[zinc gust]

not if its mild

[low galleon]

Its gonna get worse in time

[zinc gust]

you will be fine with treatment

[low galleon]

Hopefully

[ionic kraken]

Good morning everyone

My biology's class today was AMAZING

[jolly swift]

Hello

[swift spoke]

Hiya

[low galleon]

HELLO

Frustrated, Degraded, down before your done.

Rejection, depression, can’t get what you want

I made this, I invented this

Paul Stanley didn’t, I did

[swift spoke]

What is this ?

[low galleon]

Me trying revive the damn chat

[zinc gust]

dies

[low galleon]

Ah crap

I just lost a bet

[zinc gust]

thats why you dont bet

[low galleon]

Now my face has to be in my pfp for a day

I beat the system by putting my lookalike in my pfp instead of myself

[cyan path]

when will the game be out?

[zinc gust]

[low galleon]

When Santa is stocking his sleigh

Then thy elves will jump off thy roof and break their little elf feet

[jolly swift]

accurate

[low galleon]

Indeed, I’ve seen it myself.

In a mall

[jolly swift]

In a mall?

[low galleon]

Yeah, Santa was sitting down, he was going to bring a child a present from his sleigh, then a tiny elf jumped off the top of the mall

Broke his tiny feet

[jolly swift]

aww poor elf

[zinc gust]

how did you see that from inside

[low galleon]

Because it was inside

There is a mall within a mall, quite cool

[zinc gust]

he jumped off the roof from inside

oh ok

[low galleon]

Indeed.

Turned out

It was a very high elf

Anyone seen Dawson’s creek? Should I watch it? I only know it for the song that I find very accurate to thyself

[jolly swift]

I have no idea about this series

[low galleon]

Me neither

[night harbor]

:0

[low galleon]

But i only know a song that I assume was made for it

Quite a popular song.

[jolly swift]

which song?

[night harbor]

yooo i never thought that this exist

[low galleon]

Teenage Dirtbag

[jolly swift]

is that the name of the song ? 👀

[low galleon]

Yes

[night harbor]

also i heard of that song but i like it tbh

[jolly swift]

Oh I know this song

[low galleon]

Yes see

[jolly swift]

is those songs that you heard them before multiple times but never knew the title

[low galleon]

Indeed, it’s very exciting once you know the name of a song that’s been stuck in your head for years

[cyan idol]

hello how u guys doing??

[low galleon]

Idk, when

[cyan idol]

when??

[zinc gust]

embed fail XD

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

[low galleon]

When do you wanna know?

[night harbor]

i'm checking the price of this game and nvm i can't afford it anyway

[low galleon]

It comes out in Christmas time, ask for it for Christmas, free game, ez

[night harbor]

heh if they wanna buy it yeah free game for me

[low galleon]

Indeed

I think of Christmas as a way to make your family get you stuff you want for free

[zinc gust]

i dont think of christmas

[low galleon]

What do you think of?

[zinc gust]

sleeping

[low galleon]

Ah yes, sleeping, the thing we spend a quarter of our lives doing

I’m so patriotic, that I’m listening to Down Under over and over

[night harbor]

well anyway imma sleep i got school tomorrow

dms is open btw

[low galleon]

I dropped out of school, I have more freedom now.

But have fun

[night harbor]

thanks

[jolly swift]

what is this conversation lol

[open gyro]

We are poor and we know it

[jolly swift]

no the conversation after the I am broke :p I was broke once I know how that feels

[rancid osprey]

how did that work out

[rancid osprey]

what is your 'broke'

[jolly swift]

broke

= no money

[rancid osprey]

like literally $0?

id still say a couple hundred is broke

[jolly swift]

hmmm I think so like poor not sure if it means literally 0 money

[cyan idol]

poor: lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society.

[open gyro]

I think bankrupt is when you have 0 money, poor is when you're struggling to pay your bills, broke is probably when your about to be bankrupt

or idk

[jolly swift]

probably yes :p

[open gyro]

Im replaying rdr 2 cuz its that good

[rancid osprey]

too true mate

[rancid osprey]

but what if you have the money, but choose to live poor

[open gyro]

idk

[zinc gust]

i think silly would be the term for that

[jolly swift]

why?

[rancid osprey]

well if ur in my shoes where ur a uni student yknow it sort of does make sense

[jolly swift]

to have money but live poor, how ?

[candid umbra]

should i get tiny tinas wonderland

[open gyro]

idk

[jolly swift]

why do you even answer ☠️

[open gyro]

idk

[jolly swift]

[zinc gust]

story is good gameplay is meh

combat is nothing new

[rain mesa]

What

[rancid osprey]

ahaa i have savings but my income sucks

[cyan idol]

i mean they dont have to innovate if they make it simple and clean its good for me

[jolly swift]

oh so you want to keep tour savings makes sense

[zinc gust]

after 4 games you usually expect something more fun...

but story is worth checking out for tina

[rain mesa]

Is this a borderlands spinoff

[cyan idol]

but how do u know its fun if you dont even played the game XD

[zinc gust]

it is a bl game yes

what?

[cyan idol]

im sorry i thought u were talking about hogwarts legacy XD mb

[zinc gust]

lol

[subtle canyon]

Ouch. I couldn’t I need to learn and do stuff the past two years of unemployment ouch. It hurts. It hurts funds it hurts fun it hurts brain. I aware I’ve become 💯more lazy and unbearable. Amd I need a hobby that doesn’t cost anything and will get me active…..

[tight lava]

o/

[jolly swift]

Hello clouds

[tight lava]

hello!! i finished uni for the week and life is good! … but now i have work tomorrow which is less good 🥲

[cyan idol]

u work and ur in uni??

[hexed shore]

Ayyyyyy! Finishing uni for the week is a good start though. Full relax until work

[tight lava]

but i suppose i have to work if i want to get hl when it releases 🤔

[hexed shore]

Im almost finished for good, god bless

[jolly swift]

oh well that's life 😅

[tight lava]

yes 🥲🥲

[cyan idol]

i will have to do this year

im scared 😅

[hexed shore]

Start my graduate job in about 20 days or so

[tight lava]

oooo that’s exciting!!

i have no clue what i’m gonna do when i finish uni

no clue yet, at least

[hexed shore]

Honestly when i started I had just chosen what A Level subjects I liked

[subtle canyon]

Yay.

[hexed shore]

No idea what I wanted to do, no idea where id go next

[subtle canyon]

So what’s the job?

[tight lava]

that’s how i chose my uni subjects too 😂

[hexed shore]

Job is a marketing assistant

[tight lava]

i also had a big list of what i didn’t want to do, so that helped me decide

[hexed shore]

Will be working with the director and CEO of a company to produce SEO stats

[tight lava]

that’s super exciting! i hope you enjoy it 😄

[subtle canyon]

Yay stats. Sooo tell me what’s your view on pie charts?

[hexed shore]

I dont like pie charts 😔

Feel like theyre pretty easy to manipulate

[subtle canyon]

Finally someone gets it.

😁

[tight lava]

and devastatingly inedible

[subtle canyon]

Not if you represent it in a lecture with actual pie. Lol.

[tight lava]

now i’m tempted to do that

[subtle canyon]

I did that.

Apple pie with vegan pastry. Can’t go wrong.

[tight lava]

how did it go 😂

[subtle canyon]

Well you can the vegan pastry was like cardboard. Tbh

But the pie.

It made my point on statistics.

[reef glacier]

SEO is both wonderful and terrible. I love and hate it

[tight lava]

same

[hexed shore]

LOL

Yeah I start a Marketing Masters in September so this is kinda to tide me over and give me a jump

Get a year experience before even getting the degree

[reef glacier]

yeah its important, but its tedious at times

[hexed shore]

Graduate jobs pay so litttttle though

[subtle canyon]

Was talking percentages of cell death by heavy metal toxicity and used bar graphs and whisker plots for most of it. But for the presentation with scientific poster of the stats as a whole I did the actual pie pie chart. With slices dyed representing lethal toxicity in dolphins.

[hexed shore]

Pie charts are honestly very easy to change perspective for

[tight lava]

oh wow

[subtle canyon]

Especially when you eat sections

Gave a whole new meaning to pie.

[hexed shore]

You can slice em into further sections or you can just miss out or add an otherwise negligible piece of data and all of a sudden the result looks remarkably different

[subtle canyon]

That’s why they’re used in marketing.

[hexed shore]

And if you only have a few sections, its downright redundant - but equally too many sections and its hard to unpack

YEP

[subtle canyon]

And in tv comersials.

[tight lava]

have a chunk of ‘misc’ data, what it means? no one knows

[subtle canyon]

Because it looks pretty.

[subtle canyon]

Basically.

[hexed shore]

One of my A Levels was Statistics and was also one of my electives for this year, so I have had tons of fun manipulating research data to look the way I want without lying

[subtle canyon]

Hmmmm.

https://tenor.com/view/frye-stare-hmmm-doubtful-unsure-gif-24483650

[hexed shore]

I would like to say I used 0 graphs for my dissertation

My actual research is safe

[subtle canyon]

Graphs are fine to use so long as they make sense in what your reporting on.

[hexed shore]

Mmhm! Did Qualitative discourse analyses for my thesis

So no graphs

[subtle canyon]

Ok.

[hexed shore]

Exactly tho

[subtle canyon]

I do a lot of spacial studies as animals don’t stay still. So like lots of graphs.

[hexed shore]

Hahaha, I can imagine animal and environmental studies have to be very rigorously empirical as well. Cant wishy-wash it

[subtle canyon]

And also when your doing something with that kind of variable it makes sense to do more than just dot and line of best fit.

[subtle canyon]

Oh absolutely.

We need to assign numbers to behaviours.

Do you know how many behaviours a fish has.

Let me tell you it’s more than most people even think about.

[hexed shore]

Yeah I was gonna say, cant even imagine a list of fish behaviour other than swim and eat

[tight lava]

splash..? this move was ineffective

[subtle canyon]

Hahaha.

Yeh no like there’s a whole plethora of fish social interactions specific to spp

And fish are simple well not that simple actually there’s simipler organisms than fish but compared to mammals fish are very simple.

[tight lava]

ive never thought about individual fish behaviours, but now that i am i realise they actually do quite a lot

and then for more complex animals 😮

that’s a lot of data to graph (or not graph)

[subtle canyon]

Yup and when you then combine that with funny quirks associated with heavy metal toxicity.

…

Heavy metal like cadmium, Mercury, lead, gold, titanium, etc.

I know golds not toxic per say as it’s very stable but it can be dangerous if your tiny (less than 5mm) and you’ve eaten enough of this heavy thing.

[tight lava]

rich fish

but yeah, i guess all of those things add up

and spiderweb to become quite complex

[subtle canyon]

Well I mean that would most likely impact a micro invertebrates.

[subtle canyon]

Yup. Hence why graphs are useful especially when the numbers are well so many numbers.

I’ve a spreadsheet that goes from a to aaa in verticals data entry.

[hexed shore]

Fish wise, there are a lot of folks who dont realise how much space and attention they need

Not a pet for a few months, but can survive years

[subtle canyon]

Also when observing fish in the ocean you need to be 10m from the fish your studying.

[hexed shore]

Imagine that kind of care translates a lot to the public and wild fish. Great that theres the resarch out there

[subtle canyon]

So like you observing this tiny thing Amd you can barely see it. Lol.

Cause your so far away.

[tight lava]

is that so you don’t disrupt it’s natural behaviours?

[subtle canyon]

And like water makes things bigger then your goggles lens makes things bigger and it’s still tiny so you decide to use binoculars.

Sharks become super scary at that point.

And I’m talking tiny baby reef sharks. Lol.

[tight lava]

but they’re kinda cute ngl

[subtle canyon]

I mean…

[tight lava]

wouldn’t want to be up close and personal to them tho 😅😅😅😅

[subtle canyon]

They can still grow to two meters +

They’re not small.

[hexed shore]

oh damn

[tight lava]

cute but spooky

*cute from a distance

[subtle canyon]

I mean granted they’re two different spp but like you get the idea.

My favourite shark is the wobbygong

[tight lava]

i feel like it’s the wrong response to see a shark and go aww but i can’t help it when they’re doing cute things 🥺

[subtle canyon]

It just lays there disguised as sand unless stepped on.

Could you ask for a more cushy life.

Besides a house cat.

[tight lava]

my favourite sea creature are probably cuttlefish 🤔

[subtle canyon]

But like tree data as well lotsa of numbers lots of points in the data so an mds (multidimensional statistical analysis does distance analysis of similarity Anosim as opposed to anova so like you get circles in a 3D model.

[tight lava]

you lost be after tree data lolll

[subtle canyon]

So like visually accurate and easy to interpret data expression

Of circles varying size in a line of fit.

[tight lava]

ahh okay

[subtle canyon]

And in the variance model it’s a grouping of shapes with shape assignment as the key. And your y and x as the what’s measured etc. so like another simple way of representing data from a very big spreadsheet into a very compact graph.

For lay people to understand.

[vestal wolf]

helo

[tight lava]

hello!

[vestal wolf]

I dunno why but I always type helo with one L instead of two lol

[subtle canyon]

It’s fine Just means you like stretching the e.

Heeelo

[slow yoke]

Hello 🙂

[vestal wolf]

Germans says Halo

[swift spoke]

I say adios

[tight lava]

swiss say grüezi (depending on the region)

[subtle canyon]

Are you leaving?

[swift spoke]

[swift spoke]

No

[subtle canyon]

Oh so it’s like caio?

Hi/bye?

[subtle canyon]

Technically I say g’day
