![]() ![]() I can focus on writing or even translating for a few minutes at a time, but only a few minutes. It is really hard to write and maintain a narrative when dealing with the Covid-induced brain fog, but since I started a routine of a bit of moderate exercise every day, it seems to help–to a point. I’ve been experimenting with dabbling in fanfiction for the past couple years too, just haven’t published anything. It’s been so long since I played that game, hehe. Goodbye, good friend… Sniff… There’s only about 5 more to go! It’s been nice revisiting the Fates characters. I’ve been dabbling into translation a bit again, and we’re trying to get these finished off! I’ve set an arbitrary goal of finishing them off before Nintendo kills of the 3DS eShop channel. I wonder if Ophelia would someday be able to manufacture a spell to change her own eye color, hmm… Or maybe she’ll invent colored contacts. Also, this is one of the few places int he game where Peri’s mismatched irises are mentioned! That’s pretty cool. While their conversation isn’t actually mentioned, it kind of ties in here, as Peri seems to think of her murderous tendencies as a problem and is proud of Ophelia for coming up with a self-control spell. It’s cute! It involves Peri going to an anger management class and becoming the head of their society. I refreshed myself on Peri and Odin’s support conversations before writing this, and realized I’d totally forgotten about it. Hoshidan Festival: Peri and Ophelia Parent-Child Conversation Subaki and Selena are my favorite couple in this game, and I love that being with Subaki and having Caeldori as her daughter seems to give Selena some closure.Ĭome to think of it, now that Caeldori was recently added to Fire Emblem Heroes, the whole family: Cordelia, many of her husband candidates (I always pair her with Ricken), Selena, Subaki, and Caeldori, are all together in one game! Yay! Big happy family! I….hope. Since I had Fates on the brain, I wanted to go and revisit one of my favorite conversations from this festival DLC. I was even happier when I played through Birthright for the first time and saw that one of the child-generation Hoshidan characters was essentially a clone of Cordelia! It didn’t take long for Subaki and Selena to become my favorite couple in the game, due to the interesting story arc involving Subaki helping Selena/Severa come to terms with herself, and Caeldori helping Selena work through her feelings about her mother. ![]() I already posted this one on my FE blog and and reprinting it here with some alterations.īoth Cordelia and her daughter Severa were among my favorite female characters in Awakening, s o I was stoked that Severa would appear again in Fates, albeit under an alias (Luna/Selena).

The software side was expected to remain open for example, the unit is expected to ship with a Linux operating system, but the user will be able to install Microsoft Windows if they want to. The unit's hardware was expected to be tightly controlled in a similar manner to other video game consoles. It would function as a dedicated unit running Steam to allow players to launch games, media, and other functions that the client already provides. Industry journalists tentatively called the hardware a "Steam Box". Valve formally announced that it was considering developing a video game console near the end of 2012. Prior to Valve's official announcement of Steam Machines, rumors of Valve's plan to get into the hardware market developed in the industry throughout 2012, based on aspects such as the emphasis on the Linux operating system and the introduction of features like the 10-foot user interface "Big Picture Mode" for Steam which would be a necessary feature for a video game console. Valve worked to assure that users' game libraries would be portable, including offering Steam Play whereby purchase of a title for one platform automatically allows that user to play the title on other supported platforms, and cross-platform multiplayer features. An official Linux client for Steam was released in July 2012, along with developer tools to help port games to the platform. Newell recognized that games would need to be a significant part of the push for Linux. Valve has indicated displeasure with the approaches that both Microsoft and Apple are taking with their respective operating systems, limiting what applications could be run, and upon the release of Windows 8 in 2012, Valve's CEO Gabe Newell called it "a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space", and discussed the possibility of promoting the open-source operating system Linux that would maintain "the openness of the platform". Steam, a digital video games storefront offering many third-party game publishers' titles, was developed by Valve primarily for Microsoft Windows and accounted for an estimated 75% of digitally purchased games on that platform in 2013. By 2018, many Steam Machines models were no longer offered on the Steam store. ![]() ![]() Following a two-year testing period, Steam Machines and its related hardware were released on November 10, 2015. To support the Steam Machine and SteamOS, Valve released the Steam Controller, a customizable game controller with touchpad-based haptic feedback, and the Steam Link, a device that allows consumers with Steam software to stream content to a monitor. Consumers could digitally purchase video games for their Steam Machine through Valve's popular namesake Steam store, incorporated in SteamOS. Several computer vendors were engaged with Valve to develop their own versions of Steam Machines for retail, offering additional options atop Valve's requirements such as dual-booting options with Microsoft Windows and the ability to upgrade the computer. Steam Machine was a series of prebuilt small form factor gaming computers designed to operate Valve's SteamOS to provide a game console-like experience.

There are great acting performances by the kid and adult actors, especially the scene-stealing Kristen Schaal as Number Two. The storytelling is super compelling, and grown-ups may wonder why they have a strong desire to binge-watch a show meant for kids. Kids will also enjoy trying to solve the puzzles and riddles alongside the genius characters. The subtle dry humor sprinkled throughout may be lost on some younger kids, but older kids (and adults) will find it hilarious. They'll also likely identify with either Reynie, Kate, or Sticky and love hating the mean Constance. Kid viewers will enjoy knowing that children are the only ones capable of saving the day.

The society is made up of four foundlings who enter a school scholarship competition but end up getting recruited for a top-secret world-saving mission instead. ![]() The Mysterious Benedict Society is an adaptation of the book series by Trenton Lee Stewart. The series is excellent family viewing for kids who are able to handle the edgier bits, and it has clear themes of courage, curiosity, teamwork, and friendship. Some viewers may be sensitive to the fact that the kids are all orphans, which the plot touches on explicitly. One of the children, Constance Contraire (Marta Kessler), is often rude and mean, but she's always called out on her behavior. Kids get in arguments, and there's some pushing and shoving as well as verbal hostility. Scenes of fantasy violence use clever editing to hide most of the actual violence (and there aren't any guns or knives). The plot has a dark overtone, and though it doesn't seem like the kids are about to meet their demise in any given moment, the threat is always there. It has enough suspense, scariness, and violence to make it more appropriate for tweens than for younger and more sensitive kids. ![]() Parents need to know that The Mysterious Benedict Society is a smart, funny TV adaptation of the same-named book series about four extraordinary children recruited to help a brilliant recluse. |
