    Hogwarts Legacy

    For sure. I'm at about 30 hours and probably got the last of the normal spells just a few hours ago. Have two of the three dark arts spells which I only got recently. And then there's the other features I mentioned yesterday that I only got sometime 20+ hours in. Two of which seems to be pretty...

    Updated Nvidia drivers this morning and now I get a black screen. Why have Nvidia updates been so fucking buggy the last year?

    Investing General Discussion

    He's a perfect example of why index investing is for the majority of investors. It's self cleansing as the weak companies fall off the index. None of this trying to pick winners and losers, and getting frustrated that you'd have to make perfect trades for half a decade to overcome one bad year...

    The kind who is still going to 100% it even though the rewards weren't as exciting as I'd hoped?

    I spent so much time getting Alohomora 3, and then found myself completely underwhelmed. It's super nice if you're wanting to unlock all those completion chests or whatever they're called (for RoR unlocks and wand handles), but otherwise...meh.

    Good news! Couldn't tell you where I found it though.

    Merlin cloak looks like shit anyway.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Doesn't seem to do shit for the pensieve mobs either. I dunno. Like I said, maybe I'm not holding it down or something and it's not blocking. Gotten used to dodging everything. Oh, and I take back my comment about fuck brooms. The flying mounts look cool, but don't seem super practical with...

    Honestly, I almost never use Protego. Pretty much dodge only. For some reason I'm either timing Protego wrong, or wizards can hit you through it easily, because it seems to do fuck all. So I dodge everything. Troll fucked me up cause he'll do a chain of attacks.

    There's more to it as you go. As far as the above, I don't think there's a carry cap for material either, so pick up all that shit. Second Trial was brutal. Burned through about a dozen heal pots. The first part with the door was pretty cool and I was worried the whole fight would be like...

    You wouldn't know until a good way into the main story. That screenshot I posted was about 14 hours in (although I'm distracted like a motherfucker doing side shit). I'm over 17 hours now and just got introduced to an entirely new set of features. It's one I'd been wondering about for a while...

    Same. I'm overloaded with money now. Up to 17k.

    I'm going to guess and say that it's specific to the area. And I only say that because every single item I get anymore is trash. The only time I get an upgrade is the unidentified stuff, which is what seems like is randomized and level scaled.

    So the recommended levels on quests are definitely purposeful. Tried a level 30 one at 25, and holy shit, burned through a dozen potions. Fight was hard as fuck.

    Wow, didn't even realize that's how you open those. I've got a lot of backtracking to do. I did finally get the level 1 lockpick though. Also finished up the House Tokens finally.

    First trial was fun. Floor effect is super cool. Always know you're in for a good time when the game gives you seven healing potions.

    Found out that money isn't worthless (well, kinda). There's a broom for sale...5k. Jesus.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Ironic, because I don't know if this would've been on my radar without the trannies. I had thought about buying it, but then saw people playing before the early access and it looked fun as shit. Not disappointed so far. Definitely GOTY contender. Funnest game I've played in a while.

    The quality of the parks is already in the shitter. Just go to any Disney fan site and they've been talking about it for a few years now.

    World seems a lot smaller with the broom. But the game definitely opens way up after a certain point.

    Smell you later, losers! Highly suggest taking the tour with the nerdy kid. Not sure if you have a choice not to, but it's one of those fun moments with the right music and atmosphere.

    I'm like 10 hours in and a whole new game just opened up. Holy shit. Edit: I guess see post above. Was level 19 when I got to that point, with 15 points. The wizard killing outfit is pretty baller. Spider one is seems odd.

    My internet went out earlier today mid game and it worked. Not sure if it'd have to have a connection to start though.

    Jesus, okay...so after potions class you run into some 60 or 70 year old woman who mentions her wife. I was wrong.

    Okay, that's fair. It's not mentioned anywhere in game (yet), but at least offer up some kind of explanation even if it makes no sense. Still bothered that she said she's from Uganda when apparently this is 1890 and it'd be Buganda, not Uganda, until 1894. And Gav, honestly, it's not a huge...

    More evidence this is just for diversity and makes no sense: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Hogwarts_School_of_Witchcraft_and_Wizardry https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Uagadou They did an amazing job with including lore in this game. They got lazy on this one and it sticks out like...

    I actually don't care as much as it's not so prevalent after you've been introduced to the characters. It was just that first loop around the castle where I'm like, this is a diversity checklist. I will say it still makes no sense. A quick search says there are anywhere between 8 and 11 schools...

    Just gotta remember to go to Hogsmeade every once in a while to sell shit. Could also just destroy it, as money seems entirely unnecessary. I haven't found any reason to buy anything. If anyone comes across a guide for the Daedalian Keys or whatever, please post it (edit: Guess I could've just...

    It actually gets explained a couple hours later on your walk to Hogsmeade, but by then most people would've probably forgotten or not put the two together.

    Over 6 hours in and still finding new sections of Hogwarts I haven't been to. That's not even including the secret ones, or the ones still locked off. Shit, or the hundred doors with actual locks I can't go in yet.
