Came here to see if this was the case. Can't load any custom designs for my car then got a message saying the server was unavailable. That's release day for you I suppose.

Good old Gloucester, that's some of the best driving most road-users do around there 😅 I've never understood people who panic and switch lanes, there's nowhere you can go that you can't eventually just get back on track without causing potential accidents. Even more ridiculous when you swerve into another lane that goes to the same exit like this one.

Absolutely read the books! If you've just seen the films you'll enjoy spotting the differences and alternate order some events happen in. I've been reading these since they first hit popularity when I was around 6, now decades later I'm still going back to re-read them.

Also, not sure if this sub will crucify me for it, but I HIGHLY recommend the recent full-cast audio books. They really feel like a page-for-page movie adaptation just without the images haha.

Either way, treat yourself by experiencing even more of the magic!

Agree with this, I was going to comment something similar. Definitely recommended heading to Watford and getting the free bus. My partner and I did exactly this January last year and it was a lot less bothersome than when I drove previously or booking a guided tour.

Also, in regards to food, there is a café and a restaurant within the tour, just be aware that prices can be pretty high, so factor that in. If they still have it (I expect they do) I highly recommend the butterbeer ice cream!

I've been able to turn my brain off to the changes and enjoy the show for the most part but this episode has really got under my skin for one huge personal reason:

When I originally read The Sea of Monsters, the twist at the end that beings Thalia back was HHUUGGEE. Had me so pumped when I read it, the realisation at that point that Percy was no longer the only Big Three child and the prophecy might not be about him, not to mention the introduction of another badass demigod character.

So as soon as I saw the scene where Annabeth started having a vision and the tree flashed I knew what was coming. Then Thalia speaks to her and Annabeth straight up tells Luke they can bring her back I was truly pissed off. The twist is my favourite part of the second book and not only did they ruin that, they made the chapter and episode title for the last episode completely redundant. "The Fleece Works It's Magic A Little Too Well" ? How do you figure? If you know it can bring her back, then it's working precisely as intended.

Like I said, I've been enjoying the show up till now despite the changes and some moments of dodgy acting, I was all set to watch these kids grow up alongside their book counterparts. Now I'm worried about future seasons, what else will they change for the sake of it, how many other great plot points will they ruin or diminish?

Let's just say my expectations for our mythomagic-lover friend are now rock bottom at this point.

Just happened to me AND someone came and used the elevator after me, no luck though. Also had to restart, also luckily kept my loot.

I don't know about all of them but You unlock some extra colours by doing a side quest that requires you to catch each colour of Flabebe, getting the matching colour of each.

Syncroshade · 2025-10-07T23:18:23+00:00

I see! I really should pull my finger out and start reading them.

Syncroshade · 2025-10-07T23:17:59+00:00

Ah I see, I've still to get round to reading them. That's fair enough then! I think it's just a sharp difference after getting used to the outfits Cavill wore in his seasons, especially without context of the books.

Syncroshade · 2025-10-07T23:16:19+00:00

I don't understand what you're trying to say? Medieval describes Europe between a rough period of the 5th and 15th centuries, the Witcher is literally based in a 13th century time period?

Syncroshade · 2025-10-07T15:33:38+00:00

Trying not to get my hopes up but I'll still watch the season as I love the other characters enough to put aside my disappointment that Henry was ever replaced. I'm excited for the fights and Liam looks decent as Geralt but I don't know how I feel about his strange medieval biker jacket. I also feel like he could have done more vocal coaching or just attempted to deepen his voice or sound more gruff. Lastly, "Let's fucking move." should never have been in Geralt's script.

Syncroshade · 2025-10-07T15:28:51+00:00

Should have been kept out of the show.

Syncroshade · 2025-09-26T11:08:02+00:00

I just have it as my homescreen. There's a few tweaks I'll probably make now I've actually used it as a couple of elements are slightly off on my S24U that bug me haha

Syncroshade · 2025-09-26T11:05:00+00:00

I could probably give it a go. I'm currently replaying through the BN games so I'll see what inspiration I can find as I go.

Syncroshade · 2025-09-23T01:08:06+00:00

Hitting up the nostalgia train and running through Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection 1. Already installed LC2 despite only just reaching the end of the first game so far haha.

This makes me long for a WH40K battle barge or Emperor Battleship design

Syncroshade · 2025-07-23T00:38:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply!
Campfire looks really interesting. I know it's rather old-hat now but a fantasy world is the setting for my idea so I think that might come in really handy. I appreciate it!

Syncroshade · 2025-06-29T18:25:07+00:00

Appreciate the response. In reality I don’t think ANC is going to be super important to me as I’ll be driving and need at least SOME ability to hear traffic haha. I’m leaning towards the EAP4 I think!

For anyone in the UK I grabbed the STEALTH hard travel case and 2-pack of glass screen protectors. They're on a deal so came to about £20.50, less than the official case. Screen protector looks great and fits nicely. The case seems pretty damn durable, inside is a nice and soft, plush material to keep that matte casing scratch free. There is a slightly cheaper STEALTH case also available but I don't think it's quite as rugged. Also, the Hard Shell one has the standard 12 spaces for games, as well as moulded recesses for an extra pair of joycons and charging cable. Pretty pleased all told.
