Time for more King's Quest that for legal reasons is not actually King's Quest. Back to chapter 3 of The Silver Lining! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

The next book, Pixies in the Pickle Jar, once again has NO PIXIES. There is a painting of a pickle jar with fireflies in the last 3 pages or so. WHAT IS WITH THESE TITLES?

This was sparked by a comment exchange I had last year about replacing NPCs with chatbots so they can keep talking to you nonstop. My favorite NPC ever, Colin Farwalker, is so intriguing that there are still rumors about his ability to kill, and I would never want generative AI to dilute that.

Once again, we're back to play more of the unofficial King's Quest sequel, The Silver Lining. And this time the save function is working! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

I've been playing through every Kings Quest game I can get my grubby little hands on. I just discovered the "fan game" section on the Kings Quest Omnipedia. It has 58 entries. Help. kingsquest.fandom.com/wiki/Categor...

Current status.

Saw two families for Easter today, including going to an all you can eat buffet. I am now very sleepy so I'm skipping stream tonight. Happy Easter! youtu.be/7Dcoqlb4pfY?...

Whoever said that daily exercise will feel good- when the heck does that kick in? I've been exercising every day for a month and a half and every time it's awful and I don't want to.

The problem with sewing as a craft is that you're so restricted by what materials are available, and it's not really possible to just make what you can't find. All I want is a 1 inch baby pink and white stripe lightweight cotton, is that so much to ask?

An essay on which Kings Quest post-series sequel is superior is slowly generating in my notes app.

If anyone out there is playing The Silver Lining and it just WON'T SAVE, the solution is to uninstall and reinstall directly to the c:/ drive. It's not like you lose any progress, you weren't able to save in the first place. www.postudios.com/company/game...

Going live in about 10 minutes with The Silver Lining- I wasn't planning on playing it, but I was swarmed with requests (at least 2 people asked). The King's Questening continues!

Continuing to try and get my files under control so computery things work. I have 130 edited videos from my streams. I know I've streamed almost every week for nearly two years, plus some bonus streams, and I get multiple videos from the streams, but still the actual number of videos surprised me.

In an attempt to make my laptop not suck, I am going through my old files and getting rid of things. I found an external drive which has all the music I got off Limewire back in 2004. I'm having a combined dance party and cringe fest.

My oldish laptop has been absolutely fine for the past 8 or 9 years. My husband got a new, fancier computer and now my laptop has decided to throw a jealous hissy fit and not work.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have defeated all the program updates that kept killing my computer. NOW, I can finally play the point and clicks version of Kings Quest 4 www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

ScummVM has been busted for me for months The newest version showed up stripey and green because of some sort of graphics setting that I couldn't see to change (because it was stripey and green.) I was told to change something in the .ini file or the command line, neither of which I knew how to do.

The book im reading today described Montreal as "Northern Canada." Montreal is further south than the "official" divide between Canada and the US, the 49th parallel. Naughty author. No biscuit.

The final chapter of Kings Quest 2015. LETS GOOOOOOO! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

More people need to know about Wayne and Shuster. They were Canadian classically trained actors who went into vaudeville. For the Ides of March, this is their Julius Caesar/Noir detective parody, Rinse the Blood Off My Toga. youtu.be/rR_5h8CzRcI?...

The multiple crashes that I've been having while streaming have made it very hard to have the willpower to edit the VODs for YouTube. I have managed to get five videos edited in one night. Even including titles and music for when the stream went down!

Went into reading Ken Williams' book thinking it would have interesting insights into early computing. It has that, but has a lot of personal anecdotes about lying to get jobs and how hot his wife is.

I have come to a realization about both Dredge and Shadows of the Colossus and I can't talk about it because of spoilers.

I tried to rally but I'm just not up to streaming tonight. I'll see all you lovely people next week.

King's Quest 2015 continues tonight! If I get through chapter 4 quickly I might even finish out the game. WHO KNOWS? www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

I just read three books, entitled Vampire in the Potting Shed, Goblin in the Sink Drain and Mermaid in the Shot Glass. There are no Vampires, Goblins or Mermaids. The shed and drain are not important to the plot, and there is no shot glass at all. The books are good, the titles are just weird.

Remember all those times I've played Kings Quest 2? I'm gonna do it again. Sort of. Let's do some retcons with Kings Quest 2015! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

Today's literary complaint: please know what historical clothing items are before using the terms. The book im reading replaced every usage of "pants" with "braies." Braies are underwear. Nobody in this book is wearing trousers.

all the AI companies are talking about "AGI" being the next big thing, but Sierra On-Line figured out AGI back in 1984

This week has been crazy busy. First there was a stat holiday, then I started physio which has turned my schedule all around. Sorry to the YouTube watchers, I'll get back to posting VODs next week.

I downloaded the new stable release of ScummVM so I can hopefully stream KQIV Redux. Something may be slightly wrong...

Seeing if I can finally defeat my worst enemy- OBS. I'm playing Dredge! www.twitch.tv/PrincessPear...

A quote from my Twitch stream last night "I really think that in North American culture we're weirdly separated from death. It's something everyone on earth has to deal with unless they cut themselves off from everyone. (Pause) Yeah, Teletubbies WAS a weird show."

OBS, why do you crash when i go to start my stream?

Everything was going badly in the game I was streaming. Then my laptop crashed and put me out of my misery. We'll try more Kings Quest 2015 next week!

Just saw a piece of furniture advertised as being made from "skin friendly fabric" and I didn't appreciate that.

It was a struggle to set up but I think I've done it- tonight I'm playing a game on Xbox! Specifically, Kings Quest 2015. The Kings Questening continues, live from my living room instead of my office! Https://www.twitch.tv/princesspearlmermaid

My xbox is now connected to my laptop which is connected to my tv, as well as having my camera and microphone connected to the laptop. There are cables everywhere. How do console streamers deal with this?

Have you had enough of King's Quest 3? Good. Because as far as I know I've run out of versions of it to play- let's move on to King's Quest 4 Retold (now with pointing and clicking)! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

In today's reading weirdness, I'm reading a book that has a car chase. I forgot it takes place in England and they drive on the left, so part way through the scene I had to stop and reimagine everything.

If you have Instagram and don't interact with it, it is the NEEDIEST APP EVER. They send me EMAILS. They send me FACEBOOK NOTIFICATIONS. I don't care that people have posted 85 photos! If I cared about them I would look at the darn app!

I just thought everyone should see this

I've found something worse than historical authors writing about corsets as if they were torture devices- it's authors thinking that men wearing stockings meant they were wearing pantihose.

Didn't get enough of Kings Quest III last week? Good. Because I'm now playing an EVEN DIFFERENT version, this time from Infamous Adventurers! Gwydion, you rapscallion, what are you up to this time? www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

The ultimate puzzle of trying to play indie games- figuring out which "download" button on the website is real and which ones are ads for viruses.

8 years ago today my YouTube channel got demonetized for not having enough subscribers. I still don't have enough subscribers, but if you want to watch my Twitch VODs or really old swimming videos, that's where they are! www.youtube.com/@Princess_Pe...

Yay, I'm pretty much over my cold! Just in time to hurt my knee from too much stair climbing!

Just got recommended a book with "Puck/fuck" pun in the title. I assumed it was about the woodland spirit of British folklore, was disappointed it was about hockey.

It's been a couple of months, but we're returning to the great King's Questening! Also returning to the lland of Llewdor with Kings Quest III Redux! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...
