I had heard that Hogwarts Legacy was quite good, but didn't expect 9/10 level of good. Glad for the developers but yeah, toxic IP right there.

Theathyrthm seems dumb without the arcade experience imho, but glad people are going to enjoy it. Maybe it'll get them to go to their local Round1

Yeah I'm really glad the devs get to feel successful, looks like they really hit it out of the park

Play the drat term game or not I really don't care just don't pretend your a trans ally while you ignore our request for support.

The point of boycotting isn't about raising awareness or formatting empathy, it's about proving that being a lovely bigot will have direct negative effect on your earnings so that other people will think twice before being lovely bigots in future.

Bullying random streamers is also bad hail Satan

Abasi (スワヒリ in the Japanese version) is a lion student in Magicians Quest: Mysterious Times. He was born on October 12th, under the sign of The Staff. He's an easy going drum player that likes salty foods, specifically meat. He also favors the refreshing scent of may lillies, and tends to decorate his room with ancient and restaurant themed furniture. Abasi's catchphrase is "*growl*".

Interestingly enough, Abigail (aka プップ), also enjoys the refreshing scent of may lilies AND favors salty foods. However, that's where the similarities end. For one, she's a pig, and was born under The Witch's Nose on March 30th. Her personality is sometimes described as passive and pessimistic. Her catchphrase? "But, like, um�". She tends to decorate using furniture of the basic type. Some might call her a real basic bitch, not me though.

In America it was Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times, but in Europe it was Enchanted Folk and the School of Wizardry, and Japan it was Pointy Hats and 365 Days of Magic. I fully blame these naming on conventions for only Japan getting sequels.

If you wanna play a good game set in a magic academy with tons of bad discourse around it you can just play Fire Emblem Three Houses.

Or if you don't want the discourse play Magical Starsign, drat was that game hosed up. One day I have to try out the translation of the GBA game it's a sequel of.

consider, as Isaac Asimov once said, any sufficiently advanced machine gun is indistinguishable from magic.
