I met my wife of 11 years on match.com, and my cousin met her husband of 12 years there as well. Best of luck to you! It does work.

But thats not voter fraud! That was antifa! They had to do it to counteract all the obvious fraud by the dems that nobody can find real evidence of! Hunter Bidens laptop! Hilarys emails!

That should already be the rule everywhere.

Congrats!

We need more people to work harder for less pay so we can make more money! Think about the ultra wealthy!

Someone needs to take Aaron Rodgers from the Packers please.

No staff with Dom Capers can be worth anything

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really liked the ending. I also consider the original game to just be fine, it's not in my top 5 Final Fantasy games or anything though, so that might explain a lot of that.

Anything to keep from paying workers proper wages.

According to James Bradberry, the penalty was correctly called. Never expected to hear that.

Looking terrible for the Chiefs

That one's more debatable than the standard "well but you don't get it I really liked this when I was eight" argument. It's been covered over the past 550 posts but the quick points against are:

-You don't need to play this game to do that
-It's sending the message that trans rights are important, but not important enough to not showcase this cool game!!
-It's cool to send money to Trevor Project or whatever but it'd be even better to not contribute to people needing it in the first place. It's like carbon offsets, still probably not as good as just not doing the bad thing but now you can feel off the hook. Also puts us in a kinda weird spot when we're the "...but I gave you some money, so we're like, cool, right?" targets.
-Jewish people are getting no kickback in this scenario, and I think they actually take a bigger hit from this specific game than the trans people do. It's transphobic mostly by association, but the anti-semitism is baked into the plot.

It ain't a hill I'm going to die on but I'm still not convinced charity streams of HL are a net positive.

Thank you for taking the time to put those bullet points out. This is a subject I dont have a lot of knowledge in, if that wasnt obvious. I understand things from the streamer side because I know a lot about twitch and that stuff, but Im not close enough to the issues trans people face daily to really understand how all of this looks to and impacts them.

One thing I'm having a hard time understanding is why the person that was planning on streaming the game and donating all revenue to trans charities was wrong? When I mentioned my wife purchased the game, one of the things I was told I should do to make things right was to donate an equal amount to a trans charity or something of that sort.

I have no idea how big this streamer is but they seemed to be a relatively well known or large one from the context, and if that's true, that could have been thousands of dollars to trans charities, but that's apparently a bad thing still? I've been personally involved in charity streams on twitch before, and if it's a someone/a group who is really trying to help they're going to be talking about the charity a lot, pushing for donations to said charity, explaining to people who don't know how their donations are going to help, and why they're needed. Not only are they raising money, they're helping to educate, which was something that was talked about earlier here. To me that seems like it would have been a win overall.

I can't wrap my head around how all of that is a negative towards the trans community. If I had to guess, there's some piece of the puzzle that I'm missing here as to that, and I'd really like to understand what I'm not getting. Sorry if I'm coming off as an ass here, that's definitely not my intent.

I think it all depends on the line. People will move those goalposts if they really wanted to see Top Gun Maverick to make themselves feel okay about it, but they'll attack those who want to play Hogwarts Legacy if that doesn't matter as much to them. What they like is fine to watch for whatever reason they have to make themselves feel good about it, but what they don't like is harmful and anybody who plays it is wrong.

Half of the first book is about real world England and a kid being bullied, so they obviously connect it to their real life experiences somehow.

This is where my wife came from with regards to Harry Potter. She has a rare genetic disorder and kids were vicious to her because of that when she was growing up. Her aunt got her the first two books for Christmas when she was 14, and she fell in love with the characters, the world and how it allowed her to get away from her real life for a while. She hates who JK Rowling is and what she stands for and doesn't agree with any of it, but this has been such a huge part of her life for 23+ years now that she can't throw that all away, even though people are telling her she's the devil for not cutting something out of her life that meant so much to her.

I realize I'm probably going to have people here piling on my wife now since she won't renounce her love of Harry Potter because Rowling is an awful person, but that's the reality of where her, and I'm sure a lot of others that still enjoy Harry Potter are coming from. They fully realize she's a piece of shit, but this is something they've loved for decades now, and Rowling being a horrible isn't going change that to everybody.

Prime Remaster HYPE

Speaking of visual novels, has anyone else tried The Letter? I thought that one was pretty good.

My wife is pretty much addicted at this point. She was supposed to login for a work meeting at 12:30 even though she had the day off and she completely lost track of time and forgot. Her supervisor knew why she had the day off though, and they all got a pretty big laugh out of it.

Did she play previous HP games?

She played the Lego ones, if those count

My wife took two days off of work to play this game, shes been a Harry Potter fan since long before we met. Shes loving it so far, but shed love anything that allows her to explore the wizard of world so I dont think that says much.

Since hes avoiding the question, Ill assume his answer is the position where she leans over and gives him a boner

Giannis is an awesome representative for Wisconsin sports. So much better than diva Aaron Rodgers.
