The Sega Dreamcast turns 25 today! It succeeded the popular Sega Saturn and was originally released in Japan on November 27th, 1998, and eventually in North America on September 9th, 1999 (the famous “9/9/99 for $199” launch). The Dreamcast was discontinued in 2001 and ended up being Sega’s final video game console after eighteen years in the console market.

in case you need to hear this today:

you don't have to be good at games to have fun playing them. It's okay if you can't even beat the CPUs. Games are meant to be enjoyed, and they aren't necessarily meant to be played aggressively.

Hogwarts Legacy - Tips and Tricks

WARNING: May contain spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy

Personal experience, this does not reference videos

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• You can skip most of the dialogue if you don't want to hear it again (since you can't skip the tutorial segment of the game). You can do this with triangle (PlayStation), RMB (PC), or Y button (Xbox)

• Keep stocked up on Wiggenweld potions. These, even though they don't do a lot, will help you immensely.

• Thunderbrew is useful against the Graphorn. It makes storm clouds float above the player and damages nearby enemies.

• Don't worry; Sebastian, Natty and Poppy can take care of themselves and they don't have health bars. You don't have to worry about them.

• The RoR is SO useful, it's not even funny. After a quest with Deek, you'll have vivariums to maintain beasts, and you can get materials from them. This place also allows you to identify unidentified gear, upgrade gear, brew potions, grow magical plants, and you can customize it. Love this place.

• It's impossible to stop Sebastian from doing anything; just be careful how you respond. You'll see, if you don't already know what I'm talking about.

• You cannot be "evil" in the game, canonically. You can just be an absolute sleazeball, though. Don't worry, you'll keep your friends (somehow).

• Speaking of dialogue, your actions really don't have much impact on anything. Of course, it will influence how characters react to you, but there's really no consequences for your responses.

• Speaking of consequences, there's none of you use an unforgivable curse. If you're on PC, there's an Azkaban mod that allows you to be caught with dark magic and sent to Azkaban, just in case you want more realism.

• As for realism, you don't actually have a curfew. You can walk around all willy-nilly in the middle of the night with no repercussions. The person who made the Azkaban mod has a curfew mod that allows you to get caught at night, if you want the extra challenge.

• No, I'm not sponsored.

• Solomon Sallow will hate you regardless of your actions. You're friends with Sebastian, that's why. Don't take it personally.

• Brooms fly faster than hippogriffs, but hippogriffs ascend and descend faster than brooms.

• Rare events occur, such as the train at King's Cross Station arriving and leaving, the kraken saying hello in the lake (scripted event during the flying class), a suit of armor getting annoyed with another and turns the aggressive nudge into full-blown murder, amongst other things.

• Unsure what it is, but sometimes you'll find a ridiculous amount of dark witches and wizards in and around the Forbidden Forest... They won't hurt you, and you can't hurt them, but they're there.

• Speaking of the Forbidden Forest, there are a LOT of spiders. If you don't like them, are scared of them, have arachnophobia, etc., there's an "arachnophobia mode" in the settings, so they're less scary. Alternatively, there's a PC mod that turns them into burgers. This is good if you don't even want a slight resemblance of a spider in the arachnophobia mode.

• No, I'm not sponsored

• Sometimes, NPCs will describe you based on your hogwarts house (this can be seen in the "Minding Your Own Business" DLC quest in Hogsmeade)

• All four houses have their own quests (though they tie in to the same character and quest at the end).

• There are plenty of Easter eggs referencing the movies (one being the Shrieking Shack on the map in Hogsmeade where the Old Fool house is, just on the outskirts of Hogsmeade).

• Don't worry, Ravenclaw, you don't have to answer riddles every time you want to enter your common room.

That's all I got, homies

(P.S. Slytherin is the best house -from a very unbiased Slytherin)

The ports were never finished and the cover art went unused.
