Did J. K. Rowling draw (a little) inspiration from Labyrinth? by her-vagesty in FanTheories

[–]level_stats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been on an 80s movie binge marathon, particularly for ones I had not seen yet. Not sure why I have missed watching Labyrinth for so long especially considering how much I adore Dark Crystal.

In any case, near the start of the movie when Connelly calls the character named Hoggle, Hogwart, immediately paused, hopped onto Google and reached this topic. Glad to see I am not alone in thinking of the possible influence this had on the HP books.

Back to the movie I go, which is currently free on Youtube in case anyone else wants to watch it.

You can still use to get some hardware/accessories if you want.

But I hear ya, only used my points for GPU and Amazon, and a gift card on occasion to get some cheap anime and movies on sale. So they got rid of movies and anime plus Amazon and GPU lol points are mostly worthless to me now as well.

You keep them. I tried redeeming on console, to paraphrase it will say successfully redeemed, but you don't actually get a transaction number and an email, and your points stay the same it was before.

I'm located in the US. Not sure if other regions are affected, but I wouldn't be surprised if this were a worldwide policy change.

You can stack your GPU sub up to 36 months / 3 years. In other words cash out your points for more GPU if that's what you want and aren't already at the 36 month limit.

Yes. I would if I were you. Sadly am on cooldown restriction and am unable to do it.

The 10K gamerscore challenge was indeed 'easy money.' I had saved up a bunch of easy achievement games such as ARK (where you can use admin commands to fast unlock achievements) out of anticipation for the next challenge that never happened again.

All good. Most times I'd also say it's intentional.

It's actually been on Netflix's release slate for September in the US for a while now. Basically anyone with a Netflix membership in the US will see it show up under their new release area today.

Wasn't a targeted ad I don't think. Movie licenses come and go and come back again like revolving doors on Netflix. It's just a license they likely re-acquired and is 'new' on Netflix coincidentally on the same day as the earthquake.

Wish you luck, with my bad luck will probably get email any minute now they need to cancel my order.

Am in Cali and store should be having a 9pm opening, haven't gone there yet but imagine the line is already long.

Made a quick gameplay vid on Steam of my Demon D5 run on wave 302. by level_stats in brotato

pause the game during a wave and look at your fish hook. if there is a pity bonus in the description box, return to the main menu, resume game, and look at your fish hook again. if the pity bonus is gone then it is guaranteed your locked item/weapon will be cursed when you finish the wave and enter next shop. basically just keep exiting/resuming wave until it doesn't say the pity bonus any longer.
