I wrapped up Quest for Glory IV this morning and just started with V. I got some mixed feelings about this game.

On one hand, I'm kind of excited to finally see how one of my favorite series of all times ends. The original game came out when I was in college, and I was too broke for PC gaming. So it's nice to finally close this up 25 years later.

On the other hand, the game always had some mixed responses. It was very different than the first four, and the changes were not all well received. And after the first hour I can say some of these changes were definitely made for the worse. Probably the graphics more so than anything. The older VGA art held up pretty well, but in this game they tried to make a transition to 3D characters, and it pretty much looks as good as 1998 3D PC gaming characters looked.

Just more like a dragon and slay the spire for me this week.  I've hit a difficulty spike in like a dragon and have been grinding, but they leave you in a very boring and sparse part of town just before this boss, so it's not compelling.

News: Zelda Film Director want film to be ‘serious and cool,But also " fun and whimsical’"

reminds me of


Man: How many of you kids would like Itchy & Scratchy to deal with real-life problems, like the ones you face every day?
Kids: [clamoring] Oh, yeah! I would! Great idea! Yeah, that's it!
Man: And who would like to see them do just the opposite -- getting into far-out situations involving robots and magic powers?
Kids: [clamoring] Me! Yeah! Oh, cool! Yeah, that's what I want!
Man: So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?
Kids: [all agreeing, quieter this time] That's right. Oh yeah, good.
Milhouse: And also, you should win things by watching.

Never heard of Kataku.  Whoever they are, they clearly won't be missed much.

From the snippets in the article he was basically saying that he was going to really do his best to make it good.  Always nice to know that professionals working with multi million budgets don't automatically give it their all.

I played some Splatoon3 splatfest over the weekend.  There's this new super that creates a massive wall of ink that slowly advances.  Thought it was really cool untill I tried it out in a battle and it transpired that enemy combattants can shoot right through it and even walk through it.  Basically it does nothing but impede the sight for both sides.  Massive fail when you consider how overpowerd some other supers are.

My surface pen stopped working yesterday.  My previous one lasted me 6 years, this one crapped out in less than 6 months.  It's still in waranty and all, so I'll send it in and receive a new, boring grey one to replace it.  Still, it's something I use multiple times a day.  Great tech, big bummer.

And now it's working again.  Praise the technology Gods.

So I got this Samsung tv, its a top range 1080p set, used to cost 500 USD.

I was reading the deets:

[Stay one step ahead with smooth motion - Motion Xcelerator

Experience clear picture and smooth performance with Motion Xcelerator. Samsung’s clear motion rate algorithms predict and automatically compensate frames, so your picture adapts as fast as your game.]

This sounds like frame generation lol

I'll be amazed if actually works.

https://www.ign.com/articles/asphalt-legends-unite-marks-series-debut-on-ps4-and-ps5

Asphalt legends Unite coming to ps4 and ps5 soon. An expansion to Asphalt 9 with new graphics and stuff.

I was playing 9 today, they tend to drop large free updates every few months.

Really love the game, just wish there was a different progression system.

Still I played over 300 hrs for free.

The blurb says all your data caries across to Unite. Hope it comes to switch/2.

Also an Unreal engine 5 Remake of sonic heroes is rumoured to be in consideration at Sega.

See news below. I don;t think MS is going to get out of hardware, but I think there is something to these undercurrent stories coming out of GDC. I am getting serious SEGA going multi-plat vibes from back in the decline of the Dreamcast days.

I agree with te strategy, keep XBOX going so normal people can understand the concept of Gamepass and keep releasing your titles day one as part of Gamepass, but make all the other platform users pay through the nose to play the games on their own console until the end consumer appreciates the value of Gamepass.

I honestly thought MS had stopped doing surface hardware. Nice stuff, bit overpriced though.  Do they do a tablet only or are they all convertibles -- I'll have to Bing it.

they're all tablet only untill you buy the essential keyboard and pen. It's a whole line now with a range of smaller tablets, laptops and the most desirable all in one around.

And yes they're expensive, but the tablet is a unique proposition that fits my workflow perfectly. I've also never bought one for full price. There are some good sales to be found when the yearly update launches.

I don't know. How long will it take them to realize that this relegates the hardware to little more than a very expensive advertising campaign? They'll sell less and less consoles to the point where it's just not worth investing the sunk cost.

I'm a little burned out on Microsoft physical technology. I've bought Windows phones and Surface tablets and Xboxes.

I feel like they've looked at others succesful products, tried to do the same and just either faded away or failed to be successful enough to care.
