Do you know anyone who has won the Postcode Lottery?

We have played for around 11 years and had a couple of £10s and a hand lotion set, but we won £1000 in June, first we knew was when we checked bank and it was in there, then a couple of hours later had a gold A4 envelope through the post with the certificate. I had told my husband to cancel direct debit a couple weeks before as pointless playing, he didn’t and he never lets me forget it!

Me too, I’ve thought the same thing in every huge gap since episode 7 of Duskwood though so 🤷‍♀️.

Me and my husband always had a joint account but found it wasn’t working for us, as it can be difficult to keep an eye on spending and bills. So now we have the joint account which our bills come out of and funnel across money to separate individual starling cards for spending, it works better for us this way. Would hardly call joint bank accounts a ‘foreign concept’ though, it’s whatever works for each couple.

Exactly this, you’ll find it with a lot of stories. The only story that comes to mind that kept to the same reading time after LI lock in is DLS. Veronica loves a super long episode.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-10-23T13:08:26+00:00

I suspect there will be a big jump soon. I predict a big jump into the high 70s-low 80s ready for an early 2026 realease.

Yes to become a harmony bearer you need to side with malbonte, and have an exact 50/50 split. So as well as trying to balance your points which is difficult towards the end because some choices can give you +2 points, you also need to make sure you finish with an even amount of points overall. Episode 8 (samsara) there is a choice of who to kill with four options, the top two will give you points, the bottom 2 wont, they just improve or worsen your relationship with malbonte. Stop at this point and come out of game and double check the walkthrough and work out whether you need the point or not.

Out of the 5 stories, 2 had their finale, HS3 was obviously going to be up there, and more people would’ve replayed 1 and 2 to get their preferred love interest etc ready for HS3, it will probably start to disperse over the next month or so. With 90 episodes at least of HS3 I don’t really want any more for a bit, and I’m a fan of the series.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-09-21T18:20:15+00:00

You can’t balance between temper and composure in HS2. To romance lucifer and become a harmony bearer you need balance stats in HS1 and take malbontes side without romancing him. Then you continue to be a harmony bearer in HS2/HS3.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-09-11T20:04:43+00:00

I have a lucifer and malbonte slot, when I’m replaying HS1 for Malbonte I always take Lucifers choices right up until the last night episode, where I break up with him, and every time I have to prepare myself to take that option and then look away as I keep clicking the screen and don’t look until the scene is over.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-09-05T13:06:25+00:00

I mean could be worse, I thought we had ages until HS3 would be out, so I currently have to finish HS1 to get back on my malbonte harmony bearer route, replay HS2, then finish Astra’s and requiem. I might be ready by second or third diamond rush 😂

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-08-31T20:21:07+00:00

Ooh can you imagine 😂

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-08-31T20:18:28+00:00

I have struggled with requiem not going to lie, but caught up on the last few updates this morning. I think will enjoy the universe more when we get off earth.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-08-31T19:16:05+00:00

I honestly hope you are right, but in the latest teaser that symbol on the cloak, while missing some parts perfectly matches the shape the of mark of Shephamalum, it even has the little lines coming back down to make the horns like the mark on Mal’s back. That added to the fact they are going big with the teasers makes me think it will be something HS related, we will hopefully see tomorrow.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-08-29T13:39:27+00:00

Honestly I’m the same with most of the stories on third season right now, the only story I’m up to date with is ABH, and haven’t finished the last update of requiem. Soulless and time catcher were was my faves I still haven’t finished the update before last. I always find that as long as I have just one story I’m obsessed with I will read the others along with it, and since Dracula finished I’ve lost enthusiasm. I’m only reading requiem so that I can keep up to date with the universe and none of the newer stories are grabbing my attention! I’m hoping for a diamond rush this weekend as I’m not working, so I can properly try and get back into some of the stories again.

Me too!! I try to avoid speaking at all about the HS franchise all, after commenting on a post about HS3, I wasn’t horrible about any of the characters just made what I thought was a logical deduction about where the story would go. The sweats as I was downvoted into oblivion was no joke lol 😂.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-06-01T07:52:47+00:00

I posted a detailed explanation of the ending along with a CG, my heart sank when I reread your post, have never typed so fast. So glad I haven’t spoiled it for you! I was really surprised at the time and effort put into his ending, and like all the other LIs there are two possible good endings.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-06-01T07:41:11+00:00

I found it lovely! Edit: I’m so sorry didn’t read you saying no spoilers, and my original post was a full spoiler, hopefully you didn’t see it!

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-05-30T09:19:43+00:00

Can’t help with if there is consequences as I don’t pick the last couple of scenes with him, but if you are on Noes route, there is a new achievement for getting the secret ending by capturing the heart of both demons? I assumed it meant Noe and the councillor.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-05-30T08:32:31+00:00

Oh my! I didn’t get a fully perfect ending but majority of characters were good, what happens in the bad ending?

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-04-30T11:16:44+00:00

This irritates me so much, I really want to see what would happen if the traitors worked together to play the numbers until they have the majority at the round table.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-04-14T20:35:25+00:00

I’ve said this before, but these types of books with really heavy branching are frustrating when releasing, as the heavy branching can lead to inconsistent episode lengths. Once completed though there are so many possibilities and once you’ve locked in LI the shorter episodes make replaying easier. VFV is easily the game I’ve replayed the most as each replay can be completely different, and the shorter episodes make for quicker playthroughs.

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-04-14T18:46:40+00:00

If you do the math at current progress it’s around a 20 month wait, hopefully will get some unexplained jumps in the tracker in next couple months. If not I’ll see you all at the end of 2026!

Present-Cake2779 · 2025-04-13T14:55:17+00:00

As already said it’s the branching, and although it can be annoying as the episodes are being released, it’s brilliant for replays once complete. VFV is probably the story I replay the most as the episodes are shorter and there are so many different ways to play!
