NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

Fun fact if dev hasn't locked their achievements server side, you can unlock shit with Steam achievement manager. THQ (Company of Heroes 2 and Dawn of War 3) has multi-player only achievements on limited time events.
I haven't checked yet if Hogwarts Legacy applies, since it has account tie in and all with DLC store. I have my doubts.
Since most single player developers know that they're going to make sequels, old ones are promptly abandoned and many are outright broken and impossible to get due to YanDev tier coding.

So far use of Steam game manager and unlocking achievements isn't against terms of service since its not ruining experience for anyone. So if dev has the achievement in grey you're golden if a achievement is golden well you're stuck. Even more so when you're playing a dead game.
So my autistic rating needs a boost so I'll talk about "professional" achievement hunter groups for a moment. There are a few groups that when you join you have to run your achievement list through a scanner to be verified. Games with limited time or no longer available achievements have a much higher value in their scoring system, so the scanner checks to see if you actually got the achievement during the time it was active or that you got them in the right order.

One of the most prominent when I was looking into doing it for fun 100pals who have a huge list of do's and don'ts. (Funny enough I was disqualified from joining because I had used SAM for achievements for a Steam Sale event years prior.)
 
Ark Survival Evolved had a mod on the steam marketplace that would permanently unlock every achievement, idk if it's still there/supported but I used to see it on servers all the time so you didn't even have to seek it out, just join a server and the mod autodownloaded.
Steam Achievement Manager still works
1. Ignore loading game list screen its broken.
2. Go to your steam library right click find Game ID
3. Enter add game on SAM
4. Click to edit your achievements
5. Restart SAM if you want to edit different game.

Do what you will with this forbidden knowledge. I'm not responsible.

I hope Janny won't punish me for this.

Troons are the ultimate consoomers. They are the final form in a completely Satanic capitalist society.

Imagine being a woman who finds out about this controversy via getting spoiled/harassed by a person of gender (because you wanted to relive your teenage fantasy of receiving an invitation to hogwarts), then actually looking into Rowling's statements and seeing that she's an extremely left leaning feminist who's primary wrongthink is being afraid of trans people that harass women. Who do you think this hypothetical woman will side with at that point?
My understanding is it wasn't even that. As far as I can tell, she spoke about predatory perverts gaming the system and abusing the trans card to gain access to women.
 
Looks like the Resetera admin is behaving a little counter-revolutionary.

Remember when it was right wingers who didn't like Harry Potter?
The iron is even after all the gay and racial retcons. Harry Potter's political overtones are shocking, conservative and traditional. Even by accident. You don't see any LGBT overtones in the original books and a few times religion comes up, the books imply that wizards and witches have a Christianity-like religion. One of the first things the death eaters did when they took over was enforce magic wand control and all the students armed with WMDs, an accidental argument against gun control. Even Alan Moore pointed this out in his anti-Harry potter League of extraordinary gentlemen story arc. In fact, he accused Harry Potter of being pro-gun ownership propaganda.

You don't see any LGBT overtones in the original books because it takes place in the 90's and it is a children's book series about a magical boarding school. If the absence of LGBT overtones, in that context, is "shocking, conservative and traditional" then you have a low bar.

Taking away Muggleborns' wands only makes sense as an allegory for gun control if wands were only used as weapons, but they are used for all kinds of magic, beyond self-defense. In order to be an equal participant in the Wizarding World, you need a wand. Taking away a Muggleborns' wand was Death Eaters sending the message that they were not equal.

Furthermore, there is plenty of restrictions on wand usage in the Harry Potter books. Goblins, house elves, etc. are not allowed to own wands. Students who are expelled from Hogwarts (Hagrid, for example) are not allowed to own wands. And each wizard is only allowed one wand. You are not allowed to stockpile them, the way that American gun enthusiasts tend to do. The reason that J.K. Rowling did not bog down her books with legal theory on when someone is or isn't allowed to use magic is because her primary audience, adolescent girls, would get bored.

The "traditionalist" character, Salazar Slytherin, is portrayed as evil and backwards. There is a wide variety of female characters and witches are not confined to "traditional" gender roles. The series celebrates and promotes diversity at every turn.

Harry Potter is a book series built on liberal value and anyone who argues otherwise is in denial.
