The sign that something is good is when I want it to be longer. Who tf has time to get burned out in some 100 hour game they have to force themselves to finished. I think my hard cap for any game these days is 25 hours

    So, you’re kind of like JKR in that way, but you don’t care, as long as you’re the one stepping on others.

    You’re assuming good faith, are you? I don’t hide my rage well enough from a self-described “ally” and this means I love putting other people down? Cool. Very cool.

    Anyway: Rookwood cursed Anne and Professor Fig dies at the end

          I saw their first response to my comment about it being funny that Hogwarts Legacy wastes players time, and thought “yeah, not going to bother with this.”

          On the plus side, you probably didn’t waste as much time as they did with Hogwarts Legacy lmao

            Ha! That’s probably true and a very good point! That game seems like such crap, it’s so weird that so many people spend so much time trying to get people who will never play it to play it. Very odd

      Journey over destination. I remember when one of the books came out and there was a big twist at the end and it was all over the Internet. At first I was like, “well damn, now I know the ending,” but then I realised, it’s still a pretty thick book with loads to get through until then. Likewise, I’m still going to enjoy flying around on a broom and shooting wolves, spiders, and evil wizards with my wand for, I dunno, a couple dozen more hours. However long it is. The story was never the strongest part of any of the movies anyway, it was getting to escape into that world for a little while.

      As I was playing last night, something occurred to me. I don’t want to repeat the mistake of assuming I know something about the game/franchise that you don’t, but I’ll mention it anyway since you chose to message me again. I’m not sure if it’ll help, but if you didn’t want me to reply, you had the choice and opportunity to not write back, and you chose to write back. Anyway, it occurred to me that this world I’m playing in: sure, JKR wrote the books, and she came up with some names (many were borrowed from other places, she didn’t “invent” most of the names; in fact, Harry Potter himself just comes from another, older character called Larry Potter), but the visuals of the world? Most of that is from the first film, which employed hundreds of people. And, sure, maybe some lighting guy didn’t like the gays. Whatever. Most of the people who made that world what it was were not bigots, or at the very least, their bigotry status is unknown.

      I’d tell you that two wrongs don’t make a right — JKR saying that trans women are not real women, and you for hating people who play a video game or otherwise enjoy a certain media franchise — but I assume you already know that. But if that’s true, you know you’re not trying to make anything right. Therefore, you lack the moral high ground to say JKR is bad, let alone to fault me for playing a video game. Ergo, you are bad because you want to be. You saw the opportunity to do better, but chose to follow the same path. So, why should anybody agree with you, unless they are also out to hurt others for their own enjoyment? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Or maybe you’ll just look up the ending of the next game I’m playing and spoil that, too. (It’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. But again, while I am a bit curious about the age/expedition thing, I care more about the gameplay, the art, the music, the things that add up to greater than the whole.)
