Which Witch

Mayfair Witches Read More Walking Dead Are you excited that The Walking Dead is back? New episode, "The Suicide King", is airing tonight on AMC. This is just an announcement that you can start your pre-order for The Walking Dead AMC …

Mayfair Witches
amc.com

With the final 11th season of Walking Dead just aired in 2022, AMC is shopping around for a new IP to bring in new viewers. To me, it looks like AMC decide to put their chips in Anne Rice. Their first effort was Interview with the Vampire, based on Rice’s 1976 novel.

I only know about this Interview with the Vampire story through the 1994 movie adaptation, starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Between this movie and its sequel, Queen of the Damned, I can’t say that I was that interested in gothic vampires. I do eventually intend to watch the AMC TV show of Vampire… but, at the moment, I’m in no hurry.

However, I am very interested in the upcoming Mayfair Witches show, mostly because I’m in love with leading star Alexandra Daddario. She was amazing in The White Lotus and was the best thing in Baywatch (2017).

While Mayfair Witches is the second series in the Anne Rice universe, titled “The Immortal Universe”, you do not need to watch Interview with the Vampire to understand Mayfair Witches.

I have not read the novel, but I have some comic book adaption of The Witching Hour (with some great John Bolton cover art), so I’m somewhat familiar with the first novel.

It would seem that the new television series made some drastic changes to the story. First of all, they future jump the story, so everything takes place in the modern age (people talking about Uber driver and Minecraft just makes me cringe).

Another thing is they removed an important character in the novel: Michael Curry. Instead, AMC decides to create a new character called Ciprien Grieve, which combines Michael and Aaron Lightner.

I can’t say that after watching the pilot, that I’m that excited to see the rest of the series. The pilot doesn’t really clue you in where the story is going, why we should care about anyone, and what are the rules of these supernatural witches. The only thing it does is set up some of the main characters, primarily centered around Dr Rowan Fielding. Maybe it’ll get better with the second episode.

Mayfair Witches will air on AMC on January 8, 2023.

The Witcher: Blood Origin Read More The Witcher The second The Witcher season is upon us! Man, it’s been so long (the first season aired in 2019!), I have forgotten much of the first season. I do recall that I loved it… however the critics hated it because they just couldn’t follow the three different …

The Witcher: Blood Origin
netflix.com

Netflix’s The Witcher spinoff series, The Witcher: Blood Origin is universally hated by fans and critics.

There are several reasons why no one likes the new television series… from my perspective, it just comes down to a poorly written story… and completely unnecessary. It has nothing to do with the Witcher… and, in fact, if they remove that name in the title, you can just treat it as a dumb fantasy about some elves.

When Witcher star Henry Cavill announced that he is stepping down as the Witcher, I read it was because the writers of the series was not respecting the source material. Based on watching The Witcher: Blood Origin, I’m going to agree.

You see, the regular Witcher series are based on novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski. His story and characters are from Polish myths and legends, combined with J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth fantasy creatures of Elves, Gnomes, and Dwarves.

Instead of adapting one of Sapkowski’s novels, the Blood Origin creators decides to make up their own story to explain the origin of The Witcher. That does sound pretty cool, but when you watch it, it’s pretty awful. It starts with two characters meeting randomly after a failed assassin attempt. Their journey takes them to find Michelle Yeoh, the last of the Ghost Clan, and then they randomly meet other characters who bumped into them walking in the road. The seven outcasts join forces to fight an evil empire… and accidentally created the very first Witcher.

While I don’t hate myself for watching Blood Origin, I think I could have just skipped this. I have enjoyed the regular The Witcher television show, and I love the video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt… I just felt Blood Origin was a waste of everyone’s time, and not worthy of the Witcher name.

Weekend Gamer: Daymare 1998

Read More GOG As you know, I’m a huge GOG (Good Old Games) fan and was very excited about the news of GOG Galaxy 2.0 in June 2019. I have been using the GOG Galaxy …

My favorite gaming e-retailer, GOG, is giving away their sixth, and final, free game giveaway in the next few days: Daymare 1998. I’ve been a big fan of GOG, or previously known as Good Old Games, as they were the only company that sold their games DRM-Free, which means you can take your game anywhere, without restrictions. Unfortunately, big Triple A game companies, like Sony and Xbox will not allow their games to run without DRM… so, as a result, GOG was never a big hit with mainstream gamers.

Sure the free games like Worms Revolution Gold Edition and Broken Sword: Director's Cut, aren’t going to impress anyone… but they’re part of PC history and I’m happy to have them in my library.

PS, I have tried to run GOG on the Steam Deck using the Heroic launcher… but I can’t seem to get a game to run correctly on Steam OS (which is based on Linux). I wish GOG would make an effort to make an official launcher or something… I would love to run my GOG games on the Steam Deck.

Yours,

Prime Gaming: Dishonored 2

Read More GOG As you know, I’m a huge GOG (Good Old Games) fan and was very excited about the news of GOG Galaxy 2.0 in June 2019. I have been using the GOG Galaxy …

I always forget that Amazon has their weird Prime Gaming (over at gaming.amazon.com).

Every so often, Amazon actually just gives away games - providing that you are a Prime Member (which I have through my brother’s membership under the family extension). I guess it’s just one of the perks, such as free video stream of some of Amazon’s library (including their own funded shows such as Reacher and Jack Ryan).

Recently, for the Christmas holiday, Amazon is giving away Dishonored 2 for free via Prime Gaming. But the best part is that you do not need some sort of Amazon launcher, the free game will be redeemed through GOG, which is the gaming platform that I had championed for years.

I do actually own the Dishonored series on Steam, so I have played a bit of it. I’m not a massive fan of sneak games… and so I didn’t really give Dishonored a chance. It’s just a nice way of saying that I didn’t really like the game.

Speaking of GOG, currently they are running their own Winter Sale, which rivals Steam’s Winter Sale. Unfortunately, due to GOG’s stance of DRM, some Triple A games, such as God of War, can’t be sold on GOG.

While you’re over at GOG, they’re giving away Worms Revolution Gold Edition for free.

Yours,

Weekend Gamer: Epic's Christmas Game Giveaway

Death Stranding Read More Epic Games I guess all that waiting was worth it, as currently, the game is free on the Epic Game store. I know a lot of people hate on Epic, saying they’re a bully, saying that they’re …

It’s that time of the year. Epic Games is doing their annual 12 Days of Christmas giveaway… well, it’s more like 15 days of Christmas.

Already, I’m very happy to now own Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role-Playing Game (includes Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout: Tactics) on Epic. I’ve previously own these classic Fallout games on GOG and Steam… so it’s nice to see it on my game list on Epic as well.

Last year, Epic ended their Christmas giveaway with all three Square Enix’s Tomb Raider games on December 30th… which was amazing.

Encased

Currently, the free game is Encase. I don’t know too much about the game, but it looks like it was inspired by that Fallout gameplay… so I’ll check it out.

Update: Wow, can you believe it? For Christmas Day, Epic gave away Death Stranding for free. This is a $60 triple A title. The game is by legendary game creator Hideo Kojima and stars Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, and Lindsay Wagner.

I’ve always been curious about the game, but never bought it because all the reviews said it was kind of boring and the game was a “walking simulator”.

Hey, for free, I will check out the game someday.

So far, these are the free Epic games giveaway:

12/15 – Bloons TD6

12/16 – Horizon Chase Turbo

12/17 – Costume Quest 2

Steam Winter Sale 2022

Read More Steam There’s no more waiting… You can now buy Steam Deck, right now, without reservation. According to steampowered, it’s been more than a year since it was first announced, but due to numerous supply chain issues and …

Here are three reasons why you would want to invest in buying games on Steam:

1. You can play your games on any PC or Linux… this includes my PC, laptop, and Steam Deck. If you buy your games on Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch, you’ve locked your games on their system.

2. All “Exclusive” games on the PlayStation and Xbox will eventually be available on Steam. This means the PC is the only place you can play both Halo and God of War. Note that Sony only decided to make their games available on Steam starting last year… which is the smartest decision they’ve ever made. Even exclusive games on the Switch can be played on your PC through emulation. It’s not legal, but it’s the only way you can play Nintendo games on your computer.

3. Games are dirt cheap, as evident in the Steam Winter Sale that kicked off today (December 22). You can get hundred of games for less than $3. On top of that, you can also get packages, like from Humble Bundle which will save you even more!

Anyway, this year, I’ve barely keep it under $100, but here are some games I would recommend:

The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt - $7.99 (80% off)

DOOM Eternal - $9.99 (75% off)

Halo: The Master Chief Collection - $15.99 (60% off)

Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition - $16.49 (67% off)

God of War - $29.99 (40% off)

Elden Ring - $41.99 (30% off)

EmuDeck: Emulators on Steam Deck

Read More Steam There’s no more waiting… You can now buy Steam Deck, right now, without reservation. According to steampowered, it’s been more than a year since it was first announced, but due to numerous supply chain issues and …

Since upgrading my Steam Deck to include 1TB of internal storage, I’ve had more space to play around with.

I started dabbing into emulation to see how well it works… and no surprise, the Steam Deck can emulate almost everything! You can do this officially using RetroArch on the Steam storefront … for other emulation software, such as YuZu, you are going to have to manually install it using the desktop mode of Steam OS.

There are too many emulation software... so the best and easiest way to install all of them, you are going to want to use EmuDeck (via their website emudeck.com).

Follow the instructions on their website... but it’s pretty easy. Once you install it, find the ROM folder and add your ROMs. It might be hidden, so you’ll need to change your view.

Next, run Steam ROM Manager and click on “preview”. This will automatically download artwork and index your ROMs. Click on “save”.

Now, when you start your Steam Deck, you should be able to see all your ROM games in “Non-Steam Deck” folder. You can launch each game individually… or as I prefer, I use Emulation Station, which is an all-in-one launcher.

So far, I’m having a good time testing out old games to see how they run. Most will run, some might take some tweaking. I can’t see myself spending too much time on these old games… but I like the idea of carrying around all these games in your pocket!

I wish Nintendo would just make their old games available for purchase on Steam… as of this writing, this is the only way of getting these games on the Steam Deck. Before you rage, Nintendo doesn’t even make their old games on their Switch (which I also own) without paying a monthly fee. There’s no option of paying for a game.

Game of the Year: Elden Ring

Read More Elden Ring Yes, I’m finally playing Elden Ring, the game that literally everybody was playing in February 2022. The game went on sale on disc, so picked it up. I popped in the disc, expecting to play the game. Guess what? You can’t just put in a disc and play the game. ....

Ever since I started playing Elden Ring in September 2022, I knew this game was special. At first, you might get discouraged, but as you build up your character, you feel accomplished when you finally take down that boss!

Of all the games that came out in 2022, I really felt that Elden Ring was my personal game of the year.

As it turned out, the Game Awards also agreed with me, and gave Elden Ring the “Game of the Year” award as well. The game also won three other awards: “Best Game Direction”, “Best Art Direction”, and “Best Role Playing”. Its biggest competitor, God of War Ragnarök, the sequel to my game of the year 2018 God of War, won “Best Narrative”, “Best Score and Music (Bear McCreary)”, “Best Audio Design”, “Best Performance (Christopher Judge)”, “Best Action/Adventure”, and “Innovation in Accessibility”.

I personally haven’t played God of War Ragnarök as the game is on PS5 (which I don’t have) and it was only released in November 9, 2022. I’m sure the game is deserving of those awards, but it just seemed really unfair to release the game only weeks before the Game Awards… so it’s so fresh on everyone’s mind.

With the Game Awards over and done with, I’m excited to see how everyone loved Elden Ring … that it’s almost guaranteed to get a sequel. Of all the Souls-like games, I felt that Elden Ring is the best among them, thanks to the open world nature of the game.

If you follow what I have said in the past, I have disagreed with Sony and their greed. In additional to raising the PlayStation 5 prices, they’re releasing their new games at $69. New games on Xbox are $59 (or in some cases, free via Game Pass), and games on PC are $59 new. Sony wants $69 to be the normal price for “next gen” games. Let me speak for everyone, no one wants to pay $70 for a new game. Since I refused to get a PS5 (and being locked in that $70 per game pricing), I’m glad to see that Sony decided to release their PlayStation exclusive games on Steam, starting in Jan 2022 with their PS4 game God of War. I think the trend is good for Sony, as they’re seeing even more profit from having their games on the PC.

Since these PlayStation games are now available on Steam, I have purchased God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, UNCHARTED™: Legacy of Thieves Collection, and Days Gone. Besides from GoW, I wouldn’t have bought or played these other games, if those games remain exclusively on their PlayStation … so, yeah, I’m glad Sony is moving their games outside of their PSN.

Even though I own The Last of Us on my PS4, I’ll probably re-buy it on Steam, as the game is now available for pre-order for Mar 3, 2023.

Returnal also has a listing, but no release date is set. I’m probably less interested in this game, but will likely pick it up if it’s on sale.

In other gaming news, Ubisoft has come back to Steam, with its game Assassin's Creed Valhalla on Dec 6, 2022. Ubisoft wanted to make money by force PC players to buy games directly from them, using their U-Play launcher. Unfortunately, PC gamers refused to buy it on U-Play, so Ubisoft has decided to bring their game back on Steam.

Enjoy,

Humble Bundle

Read More Humble Bundle Game On: Humble Bundle I already own at least five of these games (on discs and digital), but I couldn't resist paying the average price to get these games again. When I donated, they gave me a breakdown of how ....

I’m currently a Humble Bundle subscriber since September 2022 when I got my Steam Deck. I previously joined for one year, starting April 2019 to April 2020, because it was a great way to building up your Steam library without paying too much. The only downside is that you don’t actually know what you’re going to get.

It’s a good deal, but unfortunately, because you don’t know what games you’re going to get - you may end up getting duplicate copies (if you previously own these games).

Anyway, there are some great charity Humble Bundle going on this month.

The Essential Content Creator Bundle

First, I wanted to spotlight the The Essential Content Creator Bundle, from Magix. You get six software (one of the software ProDAD mercalli v5 is only good for two years), but the clear stand-out product is the video editor VEGAS Pro 18 Edit. This is a $250 software that you can get for $25. For $25, it’s worth it just for Vegas alone.

Just a little background, but I used to use Vegas when it was own by Sony, it was one of the best video editor that rivals Adobe’s Premiere. Sometime in 2016, Sony sold it to Magix.

I own Vegas Pro 14 and I recently tried to install it on my new Lenovo Legion PC and it wouldn’t register unless I de-activate previous installations. Keep that in mind if you intend on installing the software on various computers.

When I installed it on the new computer, last month, I contemplated on actually paying $150 to upgrade to Vegas 18… but I decided against it because it’s just too expensive. I’m glad I waited, because now I can upgrade to Vegas 18 for $25.

The other amazing deal is the Black Friday Encore: Lone Wolf & Cub and More by Koike from Dark Horse. If you missed the Black Friday deal (like I did!), here’s your second chance. For $18.00 you are getting over 7,000 pages of Lone Wolf and Cub. That, by itself, is an amazing deal. You also get Kazuo Koike’s other works like Crying Freeman and Samurai Executioner. I’ve own most of Koike’s works, so was happy to see they’ve included some books I’ve never read before.

I started reading Color of Rage, and it’s a hoot. It’s about two prisoners who escaped from a slave ship. One of them is a ronin and the other is a black man. The two travel throughout Japan helping people and trying to survive. It’s about racism, it’s about a stranger in a strange land... it would make for a great television show.

I’ve been reading the manga on my iPad Pro 12.8, and although it looks fine… the battery life is terrible and reading for an extended period time on a glossy LED screen is not recommended. I’ve been giving a lot of thought on buying the new Kindle Scribe (10.2 inch) or the Boox Nova Air Color (7.8 inches) to read comic books. They’re both e-ink, but the Boox having the ability to display in e-ink color (which is what I need if I want to read digital color comics).

Upgrading the Steam Deck to 1TB Internal SSD

Read More Steam There’s no more waiting… You can now buy Steam Deck, right now, without reservation. According to steampowered, it’s been more than a year since it was first announced, but due to numerous supply chain issues and …

I had a little trouble trying to get a hold of the Inland 1TB m.2 PCIe NVME 2230 SSD at Micro Center over the weekend. Unfortunately, due to the Black Friday sale, the store was a mad house! I could not get any help, could not get anyone to open the secured glass display to sell me the SSD. I had to basically give up, and rescheduled my shopping on a week day (when it’s not so busy).

The good news is that I finally bought the Inland 1TB SSD and installed it on my Steam Deck.

A couple of things to address. If you’re on Windows, you need to unzip the Steam Deck recovery image. The file that you download from steampowered is in a bz2 file format ( steamdeck-recovery-4.img.bz2 ).

I didn’t have a Windows application that can unzip the bz2 file, so I downloaded Bzip2, but it did not work. I’m on Windows 11, so perhaps it’s not supported. I had to download 7 Zip, over at 7-zip.org, which seemed to work for me. I am assuming other software, such as WinZip, would also work.

Rufus

Steam recommended Rufus (rufus.ie), which is what I used to write the IMG file… however, in the past, I have used Etcher (balena.io), which I think has a better user interface.

You’ll need a USB memory stick, at least 8GB in size. I had a free 32GB stick that I got from Micro Center a few years ago that I used to create the Steam Deck boot drive. I think perhaps I will permanently use this 32GB stick as sort of a recovery backup.

Because the Steam Deck only has one USB-C input, you will have to get a USB-C adapter, or if you have the Steam Deck Dock, you can use this as well. Once you have the USB Memory Stick plugged in, you need to hold the Volume Down and Power Button at the same time. When you hear the bootup chime, let go of the Volume button and you’ll see the Boot Manager on your screen. Use the EFI USB Device option.

Using the trackpad and trigger buttons, you can pick “Re-image Steam Deck”, which will perform a full factory reset and replace it with the stock SteamOS.

Warning: It will seem like forever when it’s reimaging the Steam Deck. Once it install the original Steam OS, it will want to update to the latest version. This, again, will seem like it takes forever. Let the Deck do its thing. If you think you are stuck on a installation screen, you can hit “B” and then “A” and try again. This happened to me during the update process.

Now that I’ve gotten my Steam Deck back in action, complete with a 1TB internal storage and 1TB MicroSD external storage… I’m ready to move some games from the slower external SD card to the internal storage. This will seem like it takes forever… again, just have a little patience, it should be able to move your games to the faster NVME storage.

Since it’s a fresh Steam Deck OS, I had to re-install Decky Loader. If you want to install this, you have to turn on Developer Mode (System -> System Settings toggle Enable Developer Mode). Now you should see Developer option, go there and under Miscellaneous, enable CEF Remote Debugging. Reboot.

Next, switch to Desktop mode (Power -> Switch to Desktop). Launch the terminal (“Konsole” under System). Set your password, type in “passwd”.

Copy and paste (or type in):

curl -L https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/raw/main/dist/install_release.sh | sh

Reboot and click on on the Quick Access menu (the “…” button). Find the Plug In icon and Find and install VibrantDeck. Set your Saturation to 250 and now your Steam Deck looks amazing.

I also had to install my custom Pip-Boy startup video. Head over to GitHub for the instructions:

curl -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BunnyStrike/deck_revealed/main/boot_videos/pipboy/install.sh | bash -

Upgrade your Steam Deck to 1TB!

Read More Steam There’s no more waiting… You can now buy Steam Deck, right now, without reservation. According to steampowered, it’s been more than a year since it was first announced, but due to numerous supply chain issues and …

Since I bought my Steam Deck in September 2022, I’ve been looking to upgrade my internal storage for the Deck.

I bought the cheapest model, which comes with only 64GB eMMC storage. That’s a joke, as the size is only big enough to contain the system software and various shaders. I installed all my games on a 1TB MicroSD card, and have run out of space.

So, yeah, I wanted and needed to upgrade my tiny eMMC storage…. but the main reason why I hadn’t done it by now, is because I wasn’t sure which NVME m.2 2230 cards to buy. I’ve read that some overheated and destroyed someone’s Steam Deck. I’ve read that some won’t fit flush in the system (since some are double-sided). I honestly didn’t know which drive to buy.

Inland Advertisement

Recently, during my Black Friday shopping spree, I came across the Inland TN436 1TB 3D TLC NAND PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2 2230 Internal SSD on MicroCenter’s website. It is advertised as compatible with the Surface Pro and Steam Deck!

In fact, the Inland marketing on Amazon is specifically targeted to the Steam Deck user base with photos of the Steam Deck and its SSD.

The other important thing in their marketing is that this chip has “Lower Power Consumption” with supports Power Management APST, ASPM and L1.2. No idea what any of that means, but generally lower power consumption would result in better battery life and less prone to overheating (since less power is required).

Reading the comments on MicroCenter’s website, it appears to be working for Steam Deck users… so I’m pretty confident that this Inland 1TB SSD will work with the Steam Deck.

So, tomorrow, I’ll probably be driving to my local MicroCenter to buy this SSD. Once I get it, I will have to open my Steam Deck and replace the eMMC with this 1TB SSD.

Here is the full instructions on how to install Steam OS on the Steam Deck (which I will be referencing tomorrow):

Steam Deck Recovery Instructions

1. Download the recovery image here (click).
2. Prepare a USB key (8GB minimum) with the recovery image:
   • On Windows we recommend using the Rufus utility. Select the recovery file and write it to your USB drive (this will format the contents of your USB drive). When it's done, select 'Close' and eject the drive.
   • On MacOS you can use Balena Etcher to write the recovery file to your USB drive.
   • On Linux you can also use Balena Etcher to write the recovery file to your USB drive - or if you prefer you can do this directly from the command line:
     bzcat steamdeck-recovery-4.img.bz2 | dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sdX oflag=sync status=progress bs=128M (set /dev/sdX to the USB device you inserted)
3. Use a USB-C adapter or hub to plug the boot disk in.
4. Shut down your Steam Deck if it isn't already off. Hold 'Volume Down' and click the Power Button - when you hear the chime, let go of the Volume Down button, and you'll be booted into the Boot Manager.
5. In the Boot Manager, boot from the 'EFI USB Device' (your USB key)
6. The screen will go dark while it's booting - give it a minute.
7. Once booted you will be in a desktop environment, you can navigate using the trackpad and trigger.

Recovery options

In the recovery environment, there are four different options to choose from.

• Re-image Steam Deck - This performs a full factory reset - all user info, installed games, applications, or operating systems will be wiped and replaced with stock SteamOS.
• Clear local user data - This reformats the home partitions on your Steam Deck, which will remove downloaded games and all personal content stored on this Deck, including system configuration.
• Reinstall Steam OS - This will reinstall SteamOS on the Steam Deck, while attempting to preserve your games and personal content.
• Recovery tools - This opens a prompt with the ability to make changes to the Steam Deck boot partition.

Instructions seems fairly simple enough. I have all the necessary tools to do this, so hopefully, it’ll all go well tomorrow.

Yours,
