Hawndoh

For me it was separating strafing, forward and backward to use both hands. I've always used A/S to strafe left and right. Left CTRL with my pinky is backwards. Right mouse button was forward. It worked great with Doom and I got very good. As more features were added to FPS games like melee kills, aim down sights, grenade keys, crouching, etc have been implemented it has been a little problematic but I have to work around those four movement keys. With WASD I hate the same finger being forward and backward.

I have a strange key bind for any FPS game that dates back to playing Doom. My brain can't change at this point. I can't do FPS games with WASD

I don't think the story is too bad. Of course I am still in the middle of it so that may change. I also think the friendship story lines are pretty good. I like that each one has its own flavor to it, the Slytherin going dark, the Gryffindor after justice chasing a criminal, the Hufflepuff saving creatures and fighting poachers. Pretty well done I thought. I guess there isn't much of one for a Ravenclaw, except maybe astronomy guy. The environments are great, the sound and music is good. The combat is engaging and feels great, although the plant weapons seem underwhelming and I never remember to take potions. I'm playing normal difficulty so maybe you need them more on hard. Sneaking up to enemies and backstab killing them is satisfying, I just wish there was more of an element of sneaking around Hogwarts and avoiding teachers or prefects. But I guess detention is kind of silly when I'm all over the countryside on a murder spree. The room of requirement and all the collectables are pretty good. The Merlin trials have some variety, they might get old once I really focus on finishing them all. I haven't bothered much with the broom racing, I have 1 broom upgrade done. The only real disappointment is the lack of a morality system, which I know is very hard to implement. If going dark caused dramatically different main quest branches it would be cool. I'm around 35 hours in, I'm in Winter and waiting to start the fourth trial. Working on finding the phoenix at the moment. I think my collections percentage is around 50, and I'm still really digging the game.

It would be cool if AM could actually threaten the big teams occasionally and if Alonso could snag a few more podiums. But even if they somehow start the year up there, it's a whole other story to maintain development pace with those other three and keep up with them over the course of a season. Kimi won the opening race of the year in a Lotus in 2013. Sustaining that is tough.

Are you the singing bush?!?

I thought the first episode was pretty funny. Not sure how long they can keep up different and interesting animal encounters.

I agree on the day/night stuff. Maybe they could have kept it where you can skip to day or night still, but have certain areas or chests that are only accessible while sneaking at night or something. Early on there was the one mission where you sneak into the library past prefects and ghosts, but I've played 10 hours past that point and have never seen another prefect. I also find it kind of funny that I can murder dozens of poachers and say something like "that'll teach them to kill these animals" or something, and then I immediately turn around and have to kill 10 of the same animals for the next unlock. The unforgivable curses seem a little pointless after I've murdered 50 goblins.

Probably typed up by a student as a meme.

I have discovered that I am completely terrible at the mini game where you slap a key into a lock. Takes me so many attempts.

I don't think that's how you're supposed to play goalie

Need Batman's jet from the 1989 film that carried off all of the Jokers balloons that were spewing the gas.

ah. I also went back and checked, I have "performance" "fidelity" and "fidelity with ray tracing" I tried with ray tracing for a bit but it would have some slow downs in frame rate. It did look very pretty, though. I ended up just going back to fidelity. My TV is 4k but it doesn't have the higher frame rates, so I guess that is why it never showed me "balanced"

I get the same glitches on Figs face and sometimes weird lighting things when changing rooms, which I assume has to do with ray tracing. I can also sometimes see some draw in around the edges of the screen if I spin quickly

I don't remember seeing a "balanced" mode. My XSX only gave me fidelity and performance.

Anyone else have to compulsively spin every globe you walk past? Just me?

I didn't pay for the early access so I only started today after work. Became a Ravenclaw and made it to Hogsmeade. Really digging it so far. And I find the calls for boycotts silly. Sure JKR is a bitch, but the IP has kind of outgrown its author. So much of the look and feel of this game is based on the movies. It's not like she wrote this plot. And she has a level of wealth where the success or failure of a video game is meaningless to her. I can enjoy something even if it was created by a bad person. Michael Jackson likely molested kids but if Thriller comes on the radio I still turn it up.

folk dancing was a PE curriculum standard for many years. Every school in Texas was required to do it. Usually square dancing, and some kind of dance from I think the Phillipines where you hopped over sticks, which was usually PVC pipes in PE class. Two people would move the pipes while a dancer hopped over them, kind of like jump rope.

They finance them for 8 years or something stupid like that

It gets you access to some kind of dark arts area or room. I didn't look into it in great detail but I I think it's a place where you can use the forbidden curses, or you can use them as much as you want. But I didn't research much more because I didn't want spoilers and I was only buying the standard edition anyway. They're already charging more for the Series X/PS5 version, another price hike on top of that seemed too much.

Maybe all their phones are dead and their broadband is out.

The Dead Space remake is supposed to be good. Hitman released a new rouge like mode if you like Hitman. The Hogwarts game is coming soon. HiFi Rush is kind of fun

We enjoy American Auto. It is pretty funny and has some funny people in it.

All the roads in my neighborhood in Plano are ice rinks. I'm not going anywhere, for possibly a couple days.
