>>571567787I thought that this was going to be a femrowan thread
In recent news:>"Beach Episode" is out, turns out to be a lame lake>No swimsuits, but that was expected>Only a few days left to finish up your ink images>Energy run is most definitely nerfed>this anon >>572044198 has nothing to doIts getting warm, any summer plans?
>>572044480oh man, i told you to remind me, i completely forgot about it.Remind me next time before the thread dies so i can make a FemRowan thread instead
Hmmm, not exactly subtle foreshadowing, is it?
>>572046061You got to be blunt with MC.
since this is not a femrowan thread i will not be participating, we stand with femrowan enjoyers
>>572046885lets stop pretending anyone cares about femrowan
Futa Rakepick...
>>572044038Hot
>there's another dueling event>didn't even notice it was there because of all the events
>>572051663This post again??
>>572052013the hell do you mean "again"?

>>572051663at least this time the price is something i dont already own.im just waiting for them to do the same with that last couple of potions so i can finally complete that list
>>572054474ahh right, will do
>reply some random post just to bump the threadlmao this general is dead af
>Barnaby struggled getting regular ass chairsi know he is supposed to be the lovable dumbass, but come the fuck on...
>>572046061now its just a matter of "when"
>>572076196If the MC is dating Merula through all the shit during their time at Hogwarts, he should've just stuck a ring on her finger as a graduation present
>>572079332JC wished they could be based enough to do that
>>572073549good chairs are hard to find
>>572082992she is lost in thought...what is she thinking about?
>>572044038>>572044787
>Merula is my date>reach final task>”Im glad you are my date, Talbott”Bro, JC, you have one fucking Job, Jesus fucking christ!
Bump
Well that tlsq was a whole bunch of nothing…greatly disappointed
>>572123218Need to steal her boots while she's down
>>572123552do NOT her boots!
>>572123552that would be very mean
>>572083648they were stationary chairs, man! not even enchanted chairs, just regular ass chairs!
>>572132901maybe wizards don't make party chairs
>>572123552She always gives them away to MC for free
Oh…
I don't think I'm gonna finish this diary, have like 4 missing inks and already used all the rainbow ones. Oh well.
>>572145079kek
>>572145079Wizard equivalent of the emperor's new clothes?
>>572148484for a second i read that as "emperor´s new groove" and could only imagine a magical talking llama wearing slytherin or gryffindor robes
>>572152582now that would be a fun tlsq if JC knew how to write fun things
Need to lick Penny's fingers after she eats cheetos
>>572145174Same, I have 3 missing 5-stars and only the guaranteed one in the shard store available. I can't get the one in the carnival without infinite energy boosts and the energy boosters.
>>572163921hopefully they increase the drop rate in the last 2 days
Kiss Tulip
>>572169864Careful, anon. You'll get your tongue pranked!
>>572169864I dunno what was her and Tonks doing in the TLSQ
:-s
>>572173969MC gay?
>>572174381No, Talbott
>>572173969>the one task that should have the most attention and care ended up being the bugged one in the entire tlsq.
>>572178806You mean the Weasleys?
>>572180396nah, nobody cares about the weasleys, i mean the dialog between MC and his date
so the "beach" tlsq was bullshit...how would you improve it?
>>572188219
>>572188219>Make it an actual beach >Reduce the number of people in the TLSQ>Give everyone beach appropriate attires
>muh swimsuits!!
>>572189625u gay son?
>>572188219gang rape merula and penny of course
>>572044489Same as my winter plans
>>572192598sounds like good plans
>>572192598My doc told me to stop drinking for the rest of the year of my liver is going to get fucked, so no more beer for me
>>572196631>trusting doctorsthis nigga
>>572197649>not trusting your doctoryou aint got magic to fix your problems, anon
Nah, live hard and die young like Tonks
>>572196631We're all getting there, mateBe strong
have a good night /omg/
>>572205749you're not the boss of me!
>>572173969>most HM players are straight womenMaybe JC just sees Talbott as the default date. Has anyone else played this?
>>572214376>most HM players are straight womenI somehow doubt that…
<3 <3 <3(and my character is hot af)
>>572232305el peruANO...
>>572232305Something about this particular animation felt odd to me, like something was broken with the MC’s face, it was too stiff
>>572236142There's also the fact that the kiss never lands, at least with Penny, she ends up kissing air rather than MC
>>572228653Where she belongs
>>572240329Yeah: wireless kiss
>>572244904JC pleeaasee
mc is so disgusting that merula prefers to kiss the air
>>572244904They had the easiest win with this tlsq, HOW Did they fuck it all up?
>>572250867Aside from the obvious beach episode thing we wanted, a kiss would invalidate the Adult's Guide To Dating TLSQ, which explicitly advertises getting your first kiss.
>>572244904>*sniff sniff* you smell nice, MC.
>>572251175They can just change the place of the kiss
This dialogue makes absolutely no sense. I'm literally just expressing MY OWN personal wish, and Merula starts sperging out about other people telling her how to live her relationship. What the fuck is Jam City even smoking?
lmao merula hover kissing
>>572260210why the dude has to different shoes and socks?
>>572260954autism
>>572260021Their AI model SUCKS
>>572260021be kind to the AI model, anon, its still under training!
what could have been...
Wait, did the beach TLSQ actually come out? It's been quite a while since I've last played HM
>>572272346Yes, but it's more a summer party on the sand instead of everyone going in the water and swimming and stereotypical beach episode activities.
>>572272734That small puddle of water really felt like a joke.
>>572272346yeah, but sadly you aint missing anything...
>>572278019a joke? that was an insult
>>572278019There was no ocean anywhere. It felt less like the shell cottage was at the beach and instead was at the edge of a massive desert.
Hope you didn't forget about the dueling event if you have a spell up for grabs.
>>572285795nah, luckily i remembered about it like 6 hours before the event ended, so now i can throw mandrakes at people
>>572288121Isn't that murder?
>>572290073well, yeah...
>>572290073they already have those decapitating frisbees, this is nothing new
>>572290073just a prank
>>572283886I forgot this is actually a place out of the books lol
>>572306679Yeah, it's a safehouse for the Order of the Phoenix. Dobby dies there after getting stabbed at Malfoy Manor, and Harry buries him there. Bill moves there with Fleur Delacour after getting married.
>>572307246oooh so it is that one house, no wonder it felt familiar
lamo this guy replies an hour later pretending not knowing just to bump the thread
>>572299545those are survivable but the mandrake you just die
>>572315747i was going to ask how the fuck could anyone survive those frisbees, but then i remembered that wizards are just built different
>>572319385also healing magic can pretty much save you without much problem
well, after the horrible disappointment that was this tlsq, the next one will have us most likely giving a muggleborn a tour of the magical world, this has a chance of being interesting but im not holding my breath for it
>>572324637>the next one will have us most likely giving a muggleborn a tour of the magical worldstatute of secrecy more like suggestion of secrecy
>>572326241relax, its most likely a muggle born, not a muggle
>>572326241Maybe it's a wizard trend for them to grab a random muggle, show them around the wizarding world to fuck with them, then obliviate them.
>>572332034>This trial is now in session>You are accused of breaking the international statute of secrecy by bringing a muggle into diagon alley, showing them around, and then obliviating them before returning them>How do you plead?>"It was just a prank">A prank? Why couldn't you just do normal pranks, like throwing decapitating frisbees at people
Ismelda bump
>>572332381Tulip's insatiable pranking ambitions...
>>572343976Cute
>>572343976Hot
>>572343976Whats she listening to?
>>572324637I'm really tired of this type of quests where we act as guides or
>>572332381
>>572364802how many of those have we had so far? has to be at leaast 5...maybe even 8
>>572373251slut
>>572378079Mighty need to touch it
>>572332034thats kinda fucked up but i can see it being funny
>>572372298the ones i can remember-Andre's cousin-Draco-That french girl>Merula's cousin
>>572384438i know for a fact that there are at least another 2 or 3 involving dumbledor telling us to do some weird shit with or for somebody completely unrelated to us too
>>572378079retard, it's on her head BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Trust
>>572389586on what?
>replaying celestial ball because thats the only ne worth replaying>reach the end>this time i picked Penny>Merula is dancing in the background with Tulip, Tonks and a Nifflerwhast that thing always there? i dont think it was there before...
well, tlsq should be officially over of everybody now, guess its time to wait again for the next one.I know it was garbage, but what are we rating it? im giving it a 2/10, 1 point for giving us a new place and another point for the marriage tease.
>>572395461Funny thing is, the datamine showed Swimsuits for the MC, they totally did that on purpose.
>>572390582The Plan
>>572395461It has the Weasleys, so it already starts at a -2 for me by default. Even if it was decent, the reused assets and that awful final animation completely killed it.The only positives I’ll give it are that it was very to-the-point with no filler, and the interactions between the MC and the other dates didn’t feel stupid or cringe.Overall: 2.5/10
>>572399554I do miss the free videomaking of grok and gemini, i know they need to make money but they could at least making it a bit cheaper
>>572397032would you happen to have a pic? the puzzling potions event is up and it has a summer-ish outfit for MC as a reward, but i doubt its that one
>>572403842i think is this one
>>572408990Hmm yeah, not the same outfit
>>572399554the love/hate relationship...
>>572408990>Bathing suit>Male has dress shoes
>>572413712it was a different time
>>572413712Gotta be ready for any sudden meeting anywhere anytime
>>572408990why is it that every outfit they make it looks extremely tight and loose as shit at the same time?
>>572408990is that a hint of a butt that i see?
>>572422620because the models suck
>>572418516I bet that actually does happen to wizards.
>>572428302i bet they also carry around their own meeting rooms inside a briefcase or even a wallet
>>572425461a little one
Sleepy time with Penny
>>572436364still the biggest butt in the game so far, not because its big but because everyone else doesnt have one
Yeah without paying I'm not completing the diary, and I'm NOT paying to complete it. I'm missing 1 5-star piece and that's it, but there's no way to get that in time anymore. Disappointing.
>>572443358dont worry, you aint missing anything good anyway.They just find an old notebook with some notes inside the box, not even a magical notebook, just a regular ass book, the only magical thing that happens is the box unlocking itself with the keys and its not even flashy.So dont worry, of all the stories so far, this one is probably the weakest one so far, and thats saying something.
>>572439809
>>572439809...is never optional
>>572427575you think the game would be more popular if the models had a bit more effort?
>>572454378NTA but the models are pretty far down the list of reasons that HM isn't some global sensation
>>572463371Yeah thats fair
Good Morning bump
>>572463371Wouldnt hurt to improve them a bit…
Waking up smelling Skye's shoe
>>572463371Eh if they had appealing characters they would have more players
>>572483423I came in them
>>572451208of course it is...the first time, after that, you are doomed
>>572491390SNEEZE
>>572501369>Infinite sneezethat would be a horrible curse
>>572504153but a good prank
>>572513934Me on top
>>572515471heh, pussy, hehehe
>>572513934wish we had options for cat animagus instead of always being the white and black cat
>>572520254Colovaria should be able to change coat colors too. Only problem is being able to use spells while in animagus form. Could cat animagi use their tails as substitute wands?
>>572521716huh, now thats an interesting question, google and reddit say that it isnt possible even if you are good at wandless magic, but i dont see much elaboration besides that, which sounds like a weak excuse to me
>>572523809you can just ask someone else to do it
>>572524897yeah thats a work around, but i think the point is to cast the spell WHILE transformed
>>572533550what is the mystery
>>572535479its the mystery of "How do they keep fucking everything up and still be on business"
>>572533550we know its not gonna be the "beach" episode, so what the fuck are they gonna do?
>>572528753There's no reason why it wouldn't be possible. But just because it's possible doesn't mean it's not incredibly difficult. Every part of spellcasting besides intent and any mental things seem to be ways of making spells easier and more reliable to cast. Using wand, specific movements, and incantations. Doing without one or more of those takes a significant amount of training. Most wizards at Hogwarts are taught to cast spells nonverbally in their sixth year. We see many instances of wizards simply ignoring the traditional wand movements, likely once they've become familiar enough with a spell that it's no longer required, and that's often combined with nonverbal casting. Most wizards aren't even capable of casting wandless magic unless their culture specifically trains them that way, and is almost only ever performed verbally. The only exceptions I could think of are accidental magic, or possibly some of the top tier wizards in the magical world.So, possible? Sure, but probably incredibly difficult. But, at the same time, just because you're in your animagus form, doesn't mean you have to use wandless magic. Per word of god, changing in and out of your animagus form without a wand is an advanced animagus skill. While not a spell in and of itself, that does mean you should be able to channel magic through it for spellcasting just by being in contact with it, even if you can't speak the incantation or make the traditional wand movements.
>>572545143rare house loyal penny
>>572545798she is contractually obligated to cheer her own house once every once in a while
>>572538190something in year 3
>>572548989that sentence legit made me mad for some reason
>>572548989I don't think they will add anything on that year anymore, it is way too fat
>>572554936its been "too fat" for the last 20 tlsq´s, thats not going to stop them...
>>572557098the only thing that can actually stop them is that it will break the game
