Good morning everyone.

Willow comes in looking a distinctive yellow/green from the pollen. She seems to enjoy rolling in it. My white carpet suffers, but then again, anyone who has pets should not have a white carpet.

It's another gorgeous day. It's dance day today, and so I need to review the steps the instructor sent us.

I had a bone density test about 20 years ago. It doesn't seem to be on my doctor's radar. I do take calcium and Vitamin D and practically live on dairy, so hopefully that helps.

I purchased this game and have determined there is a known glitch during game play!
The graphics are gorgeous and game is interesting; however, after lining up the sandbags on the balloon, a screen showing clippers flashes on the screen, then disappears!
You cannot go any further in the game till you get the clippers which are not available no matter where you click on the screen.
I have sent Big Fish the information about this glitch, to which they have responded, they are aware of this glitch and reaching out to the company who made the game.

So far, nothing has been resolved, which is a shame. I find it hard to believe Big Fish would offer a game with a know glitch!
Buyer beware, until this gets fixed.

I still have a Win98SE machine in full working order but had to move it out when Win10 was released as I just can’t fit 4 computers on my table 🥺

(And it’s a magnificent machine that started life in 1998 as a Win95, later was updated to a duel boot Win95/98, and finally updated to Win98SE.)

Artemis II Reentry

This is the most dangerous part of the flight with the heat shield experiencing approximately 5000 degrees F while entering earth's atmosphere. After traveling beyond the Moon, nearly 270,000 miles from Earth, the capsule will work up a speed of 25,000 miles per hour. As it slams through Earth’s atmosphere, friction will cut that speed to just 300 miles per hour in a matter of minutes. The result is heat – and a lot of it

Orion and the Service Module will separate before re-entry leaving the service module to burn up in earth's atmosphere. Orion has to position itself at the right angle so not to bounce off earth's atmosphere thrown back into space or burn up re-entering earth's atmosphere. There is a 3 to 4 minute blackout period during this time

How it Works - A 2014 video a NASA engineer explains the heat shield on Orion


Splashdown

Once in earth's atmosphere traveling at 300 mph a series of parachutes will deploy slowing the craft down to around 17 mph splashing down in the Pacific ocean off the San Diego coastline at 8:07 pm EST. After splashdown recovery efforts begin. The [https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/News-Stories/display-news/Article/4452625/uss-john-p-murtha-to-support-nasas-artemis-ii-mission/]USS John P. Murtha[/url] will be onsite to start the recovery efforts

Artemis 2 Earth re-entry, splashdown and recovery plan explained by NASA

Good video of Recovery

Launch to splashdown


Reentry of the Orion capsule will start around 7:45 pm EST. Communications between Orion and Mission Control on reentry will have been going on all day. If you have followed any of the Artemis II mission this is something you will want to watch. It will be shown live on NASA's Live Coverage as well Watch live return coverage on NASA+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Netflix, HBO Max, Discovery+, Peacock and Roku starting at 6:30 p.m EST

This is gonna be good. That 3 to 4 minute blackout period will seem like hours not only to the crew, Mission Control but all watching

My impulse is to dive in, but I'll wait for reviews, too, as I'm still entrenched in my current game. Anyway, I need to see if it will play on the Steam Deck as this laptop ain't going to be working any time soon. (if ever....)

Looks good though, but I wonder how much of the original "eurojank" appeal would be lost. That was part of the joy of it, even in more recent games like Elex.

Yeah Mikael, there isn't really a lot to do. I did mix up some potion in the chemistry shop (in Chapter 2) but I don't even know if I really got it right. I failed and then was trying again but I think I used the same ingredients and all of a sudden it said I was successful. I don't know.

I am not crazy about how you have to walk up close to people and objects to see if you can interact with them or not and I'm also not crazy about the footsteps you need to find to change scenes. Last night I had no footsteps and was stuck on the dock, possibly because I had gone there already and shouldn't have. I ended up having to exit out of the game hoping I wouldn't lose any progress. I went right back in to check and my progress was fine and the footsteps were there - also the dog who was not there when I couldn't find the footsteps, but she had been there when I went there the first time which I did while not following the script, so to speak. I hope that makes sense. I'm thinking stick to objectives and after they're met, wander around.

I do like Jack the Ripper stories though and am not really familiar with Arthurian legend so I am interested to see how the game plays out.

Please let us know if you continue or not.

Forgotlings are all those objects that get lost and are forgotten. I originally came across them in Forgotten Anne, an excellent platforming adventure I reviewed in 2019 (is it really that long ago!). Here they are again, hailing from the same studio and inhabiting the Forgotten Lands, wanting to be remembered.

As the Steam page says "you play as Fig, a once-forgotten posing doll now captain of the sentient lightship Volare. As shadows stir and ancient divisions crack the land, you must soar across windswept skies and forgotten cities, uniting warring tribes before everything unravels."

I am about an hour in and am very much in start-up mode. Fig is not even nearly a captain, not even aware of who he is. We first encounter him seemingly trapped underground, where shadowy things ultimately result in what brought him here flashing before his eyes and sending us back to his beginning.

This first sequence operates as a tutorial for the platforming that presumably awaits. I have jumped, swung, leapt, attacked, crouched, climbed, rolled and bounced off walls. I haven't blocked yet, indicative of more combat to come. That said, I am currently playing on Story Mode, which "makes combat easier so you can focus on the narrative." You can change it at any time in the Options menu (Normal being the other mode) which I will do as I go to see the differences.

As yet it doesn't feel as lush as Forgotten Anne, but it has the same animated aesthetic. Everything is voiced, and the soundtrack is grand. You largely scroll left and right but Fig can at times walk into the background, effectively changing the plane in which he then explores left and right.

You can map the keys to suit, but curiously you won't find that capacity at the initial menu. I assumed it would be in Options, but it isn't. You need to start the story, then hit Esc which will generate a much more detailed menu which includes Controls. It is there you can remap, albeit it's a bit fiddly (you have to unbind already used keys if you want to map them to something else). I do find that in platforming games, comfort with your keys is important.

It saves automatically and while I haven't yet worked out when that happens, the menu will tell you how long it has been since the last save so just play a bit more until it says something like "less than a minute."

If Forgotlings is only nearly as good as Forgotten Anne, it will be an excellent experience. I look forward to what is to come and to telling you about it.
