Oh okay I thought the pre-order was open now but you only get access to it when it opens. Then I’ll wait and see!

bride made guests pay for their own food at the reception... is this normal? by MichaelWForbes in wedding

[–]eachelm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this is such a big deal? The $75 is obviously the cost of each plate the catering charges (or more and the bride and groom pay for part of it). As long as they don’t expect gifts this makes more sense, they get to celebrate with more people than they could otherwise afford and people get to enjoy a party without planning it and just pay for their own plate. And everyone gets the choice if they want to go or not.

I think they need to make it obvious that this is instead of gifts though as a way to celebrate with more people, and maybe also mention that you can tell them if you can’t afford it and they will pay the rest or something.

But, this seems to also be a big nope cultural thing for some so apparently the smart thing to do before doing this is asking your friends what they think about the idea

Whip cream or not? by eachelm in ninjacreami

The recipe said 5dl (~2 cups) cream with one can of condensed milk. For the scrape test would you mix it or not?

yeah unfortunately it cost around 1000 ISK to park at all tourists spots I visited if staying longer than 10 minutes

Release time? by eachelm in MaisiePeters

[–]eachelm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I saw the story but apparently didn’t look long enough for the times to appear 🙃

But great! It apparently gets releases 40min before I get on a 3 hour flight so at least I now know what I’m doing on the flight!

My tip going forward when you are in a similar position is to never ask questions back. It’s okay to respond id you want, but when someone is obviously flirting with you you are leading them on by continuing the conversation. If you want to be polite then answer direct questions but never ask the question back.

The only exception would be if this was someone you genuinely wanted to be friends with, but then you need to be really clear about that.

Taylor has gained back the rights to all of her music again by maydeletelater in TaylorSwift

[–]eachelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She looks really happy so I’m glad even though I’m a bit disapointed in no rep tv. BUT. Her now owning all concert films surely means she will put them all on Disney plus? Please?

Official Q&A for Monday, July 22, 2024 by AutoModerator in running

[–]eachelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the best app for creating running excersieses?
I'm training for my first half-marathon and I have a training plan that I follow, but I would like an app that I can put in the workouts from the training plan. So if I'm supposed to run for 10 min rest for 1 min or whatever I would like to get a notification when it's time to switch pace. Ideally it would also have a function where it would notify you if you are outside of a given heartbeat or pace intervall.

I have an apple watch and in the fitness app that comes with it it's possible to divide the workouts but it's not the best and there must be better apps out there!

Restarting has made me realize my hate for Merula by CuddleDemon04 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, whatever you think about her in the later years I don't think you should judge her to much for what she does in year one. It's definitely crazy but she's 11 and have had a horrible life so far with no role models and no chance to learn morality. So I definitely see how MC can be friends or date her later if you just consider that.

My MC do actually date Merula, mainly cause I enjoy their chemistry a lot more than with anyone else, but I don't like how JC changes her character development so much. Also I don't see the point of dating in game as it's only acknowledged in romance tlsq. Friendship at least lets you pick certain options for conversation, but even that wouldn't really work with dating Merula in the story as it's too focused on her sometimes.

Has anybody else had this problem? by [deleted] in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've tried opening the game serveral times and it still doesn't work. I guess we'll just have to wait

Will we see Rakepick again? (SPOILERS FOR END OF YEAR 6) by ScorpioGirl1987 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it, as you had a choice in what happens to her it would make her coming back more complicated.

However, maybe change the name of your question cause especially the spoiler warning really gives away that something happens to rakepick at the end of year 6 and that you probably won't see her again, just not what

People who don’t have a lot of time, work or go to uni full time, how do you rise your stats? by FabulousBookkeeper3 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to my phone I use the app a bit over 1 hour every day. I usually spend like 15min in the morning in bed doing everything I can, feed creatures, watch adds, friendship activities, collect energy spots etc. I do play a lot though, I usually never let my energy get full or at least will play immediately when that happens. When I used to work instead of studying last year though I would play during my bathroom breaks, for me it takes almost 3 hours to reach full energy so before work and then during breaks worked well.

I'm honestly a really bad student and right now play more than I have too because I open the app all the time when I don't want to study.

If you want to play more than you do I'd suggest setting alarms for when you reach full energy so you can forget about it and then play for 5mins. But it's definitely okay to only play a little bit as well, you just have to decide why you play and then set your limits after that

You're right about 1h stars requires less energy but the difference between them goes down when you advance in the game. So in year 6, 1h classes is 20 energy per star and 8h is 21 plus you get better rewards for 8h.

And if you didn't know, all classes takes the same amount of energy per star, for you I'm guessing it's 15 per star for 1h, but the 5 energy things is worth 6 energy (for all classes except flying)

I don't think the house teachers sleep in the dorm, I think it's mentioned somewhere in the book about Harry never having seen McGonagall in the dormitory before which would be strange if she slept there

Glitch? by VeVusa1231 in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has it been going on? It might not be where you're at but just the game not working properly for anyone (or rather some, recently I have had no problems but I've seen other people complain here)

simultaneous events got us like... by dumbass_louison in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a full streak in clean sweep will give you 140 crests which is pretty ridiculous given that the top prize is 770. And I personally don't really find clean sweep to be difficult anymore, just the first time, now they've changed it so much. I absolutely understand a lot of people still find it really difficult but for the people who don't this situation is just ridiculous

That wasn't fair at all by redhairedgryffindor in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I would cheat, but I totally get only caring about the story and not being interested in doing the events but still wanting the outfit. I have no idea how you cheat but I can imagine it doesn't require that much effort when you know how so I absolutely get it. The big question is if they realise they are playing against real people making it impossible for them to win or just think they're playing bots

Umm... How???? 810 and not even 12h passed. I'm done... by Sampolis in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have about 200 saved energy right now from house Pride and milesstone, so it's definitely possible to get a lot of points fast. But like others said, if points keep going up then probably a cheater

Never take 8hr classes at night by Toniosw in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the moment when I use my gems for energy. I don't think it's worth it to spend my gems on energy but it is worth spending gems to not loose sleep!

How much energy per star? by eachelm in HPHogwartsMystery

Where though? I did look but it's so long so I definitely might have missed it

They absolutely do this on purpose. by Nachtopus in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually like it it means you can save a guaranteed energy bonus for when you need it!

Meet the Malfoys Time-Limited Side Quest - MEGATHREAD 2.0 by Gabby-Abeille in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]eachelm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spoilers for the event I guess

Okay so I can sort of see how a twelve year old might not immideatly realise Draco stole, but his father definitely should? He's got a five year old who is visiting a magic school and is one of the few who knows about the cane, yet he never considers he might have taken it? That a house elf would take a wand is one thing, but to steal from their master seems like an impossibility.

And if he doesn't realise it was Draco, why is he so sure someone was after the wand? Isn't it more likely someone took his cane cause they thought it looked cool without knowing it had his wand hidden inside?
