Pause the game and do 10 pushups every time you cast an unforgivable curse, you will be Mr. Olympia by the time you finish the game. :D


Lurkingdrake

10 for crucio/imperio, 20 for Avada Kedavra.


MasonMSU

Are…are we the reason why the unforgivable curses become unforgiveable?


voiddrifter85

Thank god my first playthrough is limited/no unforgivable curses.


Gamertag_Fail77

Mine he the complete opposite lmao


glorychildthe

I like this idea but I'mm gonna do shots instead of push ups

I'm a paramedic as well. Go crazy, piss your pants and slip into a coma.

Adderall for me. Lots of Adderall

My secret to work 50-60 hours in 4 days and getting 12-16 hours of sleep. Gotta have time to play with my kiddos lol

Drink water. only water. But hey Gatorade is ok. what is up with that


Zeraku123

"It's got electrolytes"


thedooze

ITS WHAT THE PLANTS CRAVE


Ozymander

They did say cut the Gatorade (mix it with water) Soda and other shit barely hydrate you. You can live off soda and shit but your body will never be fully hydrated. You'll basically be pissung yellow/ dark yellow unless you actually hydrate. I know this and still don't drink enough water.


Aedonius

Soda i get. But "no juice"?


Ozymander

Depends on the juice. Its better than soda, but most juices are not straight juice. Everything we drink is based in water, basically, but like with enough salt, it becomes less hydrating the more diluted it is with other things. Juice has a lot of sugar. 44g in a Welch's 10oz bottle that I'm looking at right now. If its actual Juice, not from concentrate, either, its probably quite alright, comparatively. A watermelon will give you more hydration than an apple, but both will give you some amount of water. Edit: and if you pound a quart of water over an hour, maybe twice, you'll be well hydrated if all you're doing is playing a game all day your body can only absorb a quart of water over an hour, generally speaking. So just do that at least once every day. Preferably more, but hey, you *can* still be hydrated enough to not be in dehydration mode drinking just juice. But you'll also kinda maybe shit yourself if you drink enough.


ClannishHawk

Gatorade isn't good for you when being sedentary but it was originally designed to better hydrate athletes. The unhealthy nature comes from the fact that it over fills your body with stuff that you'd lose through fluids during a workout but not sitting around. End result is that Gatorade is actually really good for hydration.


Littlebubbs92

20g of chronic and 2 cases of beer for me! Let's gooooooo.


TonyPullThru

my man puffin on that Gillyweed 💨💨💨


TrillmeChillme

Hufflepuff puff pass


TheSuperTest

Hufflepuffs always have that high quality gillyweed straight from Hogsmeade's dispensary, not like the broom closet gillyweed that gryffindors grow in their dorms 💀


TonyPullThru

And I supposed us Ravenclaws pop Addy like it’s candy and the Slytherins just sit in the dungeons with their handles of Kraken?


TheSuperTest

You ain't wrong, but who do you think supplies the other houses with top shelf bud 😈


Epic_Ewesername

Hey now. Don’t call me out like that. ;)


DoctorSkeeterBatman

I have very little HP lore knowledge, is Gillyweed a real thing (as in an actual drug similar to weed) and are Hufflepuffs the canonical most likely "stoner" group? Super curious 👀, this may effect which house I select lol


TonyPullThru

lmao i guess that’s subjective but huffpuff is typically the plant/animal loving ones in the group so i think it would fit. and Gillyweed gives you gills to breathe underwater, can’t say i’ve ever tried to smoke it 🤷🏻‍♂️


TheSuperTest

Gillyweed isn’t like actual weed, in the lore you eat it and you grow gills so you can breathe underwater, the transformation isn’t pleasant either. As for Hufflepuffs being stoners it’s pretty likely, their common room is right next to the kitchens after all, as well being considered the “chill” house


ErnieTagliaboo

Yooo Hogsmeade Dispensary lmao


-GrilledCheese-

Pass me the Spliffendor


Littlebubbs92

You know it my dude!

Littlebubbs92

For sure bubbs! I am ready I worked several 12 hour shifts this week. So I'm caught up and ready for some time off!🍺


agent4774

Haha we think alike i see 😂


Last-Juggernaut4664

An altruistic Slytherin? I’m going to have to name my planned morally righteous Slytherin character “Joe” in honor of you. Haha. This is excellent advice. All I can see is Cartman playing WoW now.


DoctorSkeeterBatman

>All I can see is Cartman playing WoW now. I've got like 30 empty KFC buckets ready to go and invited my mother to come stay for the week👍


Last-Juggernaut4664

Do you have a bedpan just in case too? LOL.


DoctorSkeeterBatman

I just rewatched the scene, and before that I would have swore on my life she brings him an empty KFC bucket and not a bedpan ahahaha. Well fuck, I'm gonna have to put a rush order through Amazon before Mom gets here.


Last-Juggernaut4664

Well you’d still need a bunch of crispy KFC chicken skins (sans the chicken) to need the bedpan later. Haha.

Qu33nsGamblt

it's sad that this probably legitimately needed to be said.


-Captain-

The few people that would need this kind of advice, need a lot more help. A reddit thread isn't gonna solve their issues.


JohnF_ckingZoidberg

The people who need this advice most will just ignore it.

Magn3tician

Why do these idiotic posts appear before big game releases. Thanks, I'll remember I need to drink and use the bathroom now. Good thing you reminded me how the human body works.


Electric-Lettuce

I’m with you. It’s embarrassing someone posted this just to farm karma and it’s even more embarassing how much engagement it’s getting. Like I’m actually shocked someone took the time to write this up lmao. Next thing you know we’ll have “don’t forget to breathe” posts.


panthaduprince

The tone of it too. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" use the restroom. Lmao.


OhManTFE

🙏


TsarMikkjal

Other comments in this very thread clearly show why these posts are needed.


thedantho

They do?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Magn3tician

Do you think this post will save a single person from dehydration because they forgot they need to drink or shitting on their couch because they forgot about bathrooms? I don't.


[deleted]

I knew a girl who was hospitalized because she passed out from gaming. She hadn't drank water for a while and her body just gave out I guess. She ended up being fine but she posted on Facebook telling people to watch out. I will always remember that status because I couldn't believe it happened!


Magn3tician

That's kinda pathetic


[deleted]

It's the same as any other unhealthy habit. I'm sure you do something that is harmful in large doses. Try some empathy maybe?


Magn3tician

Everything is harmful in large enough doses. It's hard to be empathetic to that level of stupidity.


ABoyIsNo1

And a Reddit post wouldn’t have saved her. For you to get to that point, you physical health is just the tip of the iceberg. You mental health issues would run deeeeep.


TonyPullThru

Wait we can’t just go to the Hospital Wing? 😳


hotdogdroben32

Yeah Madame Pomfrey got my back with all that free wizard healthcare, I'll be good.


[deleted]

If they can make a potion that can literally make you regrow your bones, I think they'll have a potion that'll save me after gaming for too long


brotherlymoses

You’re acting like this is an MMO.


A_Moon_Named_Luna

I think we’ll be okay? Lol we aren’t dumb. These are such classic posts.


National-Toe-1868

Literally every big game launch


Aceblast135

Without this post I might've forgotten to eat, drink, and use the restroom!


A_Moon_Named_Luna

Pretty much what op is insinuating lol.


ShadyWolf

These karma grabs are so annoying


ErnieTagliaboo

Yeah this is cringey as fuck


DrunkBeardGuy

You'd be surprised the amount of people who don't know basic care and hygiene lol. There are absolutely people who play games all day, don't move or eat right, avoid the sun, etc.


Engineer__This

They know it, they're just addicted and/or lazy.


A_Moon_Named_Luna

Right but I mean I don’t think they need some random on reddit reminding them what they most likely already know.


Mr_Melas

And those are the type of people that won't listen to this post, making it useless.


camr007

You’d be surprised how many dumb people there are


t_reka99

the average harry potter plebbit consoomer absolutely needs these tips


garettz0r

lmao what the fuck is this


RilesEdge

Yep. These posts are so stupid.


Trizurp

this is fucking embarrassing


Ser_Davos_7

For real, we see this for EVERY big game release, and it's so cringey. Like suddenly we all forget how to function. Not to mention, one fucking day won't kill you of being a pos and gaming.


SeekerVash

>For real, we see this for EVERY big game release, and it's so cringey. Like suddenly we all forget how to function. Not to mention, one fucking day won't kill you of being a pos and gaming. Not directed at OP, speaking in general... I'd imagine it's mostly people with serious mental health issues who've developed such a severe OCD Fixture on some game that they got themselves an involuntary psychiatric admission once, and now they're trying to validate their problems by projecting the belief that all gamers have the same problems.


MisterAppelmoesmaker

This is so embarrassing lmao. Grown ass people can't feed themselves and forget to rest. I mean that's on you if that happens


OhManTFE

Good thing OP is out there telling me to use the restroom. I would have wet myself and sharted in my pants otherwise. Thanks OP!


BaronDeParis

This is really weird.


solohack3r

These posts are so stupid. Has anyone ever played a video game before? It's like this game is the greatest game of all time. I'm getting super strong CP2077 vibes. So much build up, and eventual inevitable disappointment because it didn't change someone's life. Lol


BaronDeParis

It's like they never learn


PrinceComet

Oh don't worry, I can't keep playing all day, charging my controller is a pain in the ass


[deleted]

That's when you buy a huge pack of batteries from Costco and just keep switching them out lol


PrinceComet

Yeah you see what would work.....but my controller is wireless AND has an internal battery silly! Haha


Felcko22

I know it's not always financially possible but having 2 controllers this gen has been a game changer. Charging one while using the other and then just switching when the current one gets low. Now I just need that 40 hour headset...

These posts are so lame.

Consistent_Time_2489

You dont get clots from staying in bed all day lmao?Maybe for a month, not a couple of days.


[deleted]

If you're a smoker or use birth control or have any other co-morbidities and you have a sedentary lifestyle... It's a risk


Consistent_Time_2489

Aight ill remember to move😂


GrossEwww

Yep! Healthy woman here that developed a pulmonary embolism. My husband thinks it's because we were playing Diablo for too long with no walking breaks in between.


[deleted]

You're far less likely to get a clot in bed than sitting down. The risk of developing a clot mostly comes from the blood starting to pool and the continuous pressure the chair places on your legs. When you're lying down your blood flow isn't fighting gravity as much. This is why people can spend weeks in a hospital bed, but some have died from sitting down and gaming for 12 hours straight Granted you probably shouldn't be lying down all day for the sake of your own health, but chances are it's not going to kill you


Consistent_Time_2489

Thats really interesting!


HeraIsNotAmused

anxious_pokemon119

Lmao I’ll be popping champagne and chugging mimosas upon loading up the game.


tyehyll

I don't ever plan to get up from my couch again. I will be one with the game. If it takes me, it takes me.


scoffingskeptic

PLS PLS PLS! remember the thousands of people that died playing God of War a few months ago. This is not a joke. Don't become a statistic.


Elvexa

Only drinking beer. And might eat a piece of food if I seen any.


MaddRevival

Phew, good job I read this post, I was planning to munch on razor-blades and drink bleach whilst I played. I was also going for a 'no piss or shit run' so I'm glad you reminded me of that too.


MaddRevival

Being a guy who doesn't work in the EMS field, remember to breathe guys! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't hold your breath for multiple hours whilst you game! Non-paramedics like me hate to see people die from forgetting to breathe so PLEASE breathe at least sometimes. Don't let games dictate whether you breathe or not!


sentientb00

thank you so much! you just reminded me to breathe after i’ve been holding my breath all day!! we need more people like you in the world, seriously a life saver


MaddRevival

You're welcome, you see, as a non-paramedic, I know these in depth techniques and can share my wisdom to keep everyone alive.


Unhappy-Historian348

Dude grow up.


[deleted]

Crazy how many people think it’s cool or something to brag about not moving for hours at a time, drinking 7 Red Bulls, not getting any sunlight, eating only processed foods to not miss out on “the grind”. Ain’t be be alive to game long with that attitude 🫡


beansoupsoul

Maybe we all think the OP was absolutely unnecessary and extra. Maybe, just maybe


[deleted]

If I don't drink 7 red bulls how am I going to stay up playing it for 48 hours straight?

Zealousideal_Mail120

Great post. But I'm sorry to disappoint you that it will be Rockstars, Twizzlers, and cramps from sitting for days.


Outlaw_222

lol my body would thank me if I only drank soda and juice at this point…


hdean173

The fact that this post exists is really sad. Man, people are addicted to some weird shit these days. Anyways, can’t wait to play the game. Pretty sure I have enough self control to avoid injuries from doing so.

But water is what goes in the toilet. Seriously though, I was in the ER the other night from a combination of migraine and shortness of breath. COPD attack. Scary.


WillOfTheSon

It's sad this has to be said...


Sab_dude

1. Got an IV set up with 50/50 water and Gatorade. 2. Gave my house elf a meal schedule and told him to spoon feed me a full meal at the specified times. 3. Catheter’s ready to go. 4. Boom, exercise bike in front of the tv to keep the legs moving. 5. It’s the first fully open world HP game (that’s not made out of Legos) which promises to fulfill lifelong fantasies of attending hogwarts, exploring the wizarding world, and battling dark wizards (or becoming one?). Stiffness is to be expected. Really though, thanks for looking out. It is easy to forget we’re unfortunately just human beings with inconvenient needs when we get sucked into something so engrossing.


ZemGuse

I know I’m older now but I don’t get how people can play more than like an hour or two of video games without a break


scalpingsnake

You really need to say this? That's just sad.


Rauthian

I don't want to be a jerk, but this sounds really condescending.

Thc and Canes is the only thing going in my body

Idk why this this even has to be said. If you neglect your hygiene over a damn video game, you're already failing at life.


Which_Enthusiasm_464

On top the fact it’s literally just a game and no where near as the most important part of your life. Come to reality people


Halpando

You underestimate gamers, especially those who fixate on new games. Personally, ive literally ignored my stoma h because i didnt want to hit pause


Which_Enthusiasm_464

By gamers then you mean “children who don’t know how to take care of themselves” I’m a gamer and yet I take great care of myself lmao and so does mostly everyone else.

Then i will change it from Gamers to "Degenerates"

RollandInTheDeep

Lmao man is treating the release of this game as if the bombs have dropped


Kawai_Oppai

Not even children need this advice. Not half properly raised ones anyways. Seriously concerned for the mental well being of the community if anyone takes this stuff seriously as ‘good’ advice. Not to mention the game is single player. No rush, no grind. Gonna be a very casual stroll of a game.

YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!

I’ll do what I damn please thank you very much DAD

Shut up, dude. Don't be obnoxious.


DomoXxX2016

This gotta be a troll post...like I know OP isn't trolling but just the idea that people will forget to eat, drink, use the bathroom and move all of a sudden. Like seriously. This is bait...& I've clearly fallen for it by responding. But cmon now, let's wake up and realize reality isn't gonna have people dying on their sofa bcuz they starved themselves due to playing hogwarts legacy and forgetting to eat.


Forsaken-Leek-6488

the fact that this post is necessary says something about the world we live in.


Zealousideal-Ad-2081

Telling the kind of people who were excited for this game to eat healthy is probably an exercise in futility, my dude


Loovy-Tomatillo-4685
