I'm beginning to see why this game is called Mask of Eternity- I've got more hours in this playthrough than any other game I've streamed so far. ONWARDS! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

Technologically advance a band: The B-1s (I had to look up what planes were used after B-52s went out of production)

It Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love

On a whim I checked to see if my public library had Ken Williams' book about Sierra On-Line. They don't have the full book, but I can read a sample of it in Russian!

I didn't stream last week because of the migraine from hell. This week it's more Mask of Eternity... which is also a real headache. www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

I first saw The Little Mermaid in 1990. I have watched it countless times since then. I only just noticed that the little song "Vanessa" sings as she's getting ready for the wedding is a reprise of Poor Unfortunate Souls.

My brain has been misfiring on all cylinders lately. I was expressing shock that someone was speaking down to someone else, and decryed their "condensation." They were being "condescending."

The House Cat, The Lady Who Thinks Crystals Are Cool, and the Pile of Clothes on a Chair

Skipping stream tonight. I had a very busy weekend and I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Back again next week for more Mask of Eternity.

Changing things up with my VOD upload tonight. I had a really good stopping point halfway through the stream, so I split the upload in two to save my poor bandwidth. Second half will go out Wednesday night. youtube.com/@princess_pe...

I loved this series so much.

I unexpectedly finished my book during my break at work (theres a glossary at the end, so there's less story than I thought). I now have nothing to read at lunch. I have the sequel sitting at home.

An important clarification from last night's stream- Finland has 187,888 lakes larger than 500m squared. This is a lot of lakes. Canada has 879,800 lakes larger than 100,000m squared. This is more, and also bigger. I take lakes seriously.

Apparently, King's Quest 8 has even MORE dimension of death, so much so that back in the day it would have required uninstalling and reinstalling a whole new level. Even more fun, I have NO memory of this place, so who knows what's gonna happen. Probably death. www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

I'm in this! Hooray! I maintain that RNG in a puzzle based game is just a tool to expand play time. If there's a random chance you won't even find the puzzle, the game is cheating.

Kings Quest 8 time, babies! We venture into the Dimension of Death, which is different from the Land of the Dead, and maybe we'll figure out why there's extra places for dead people to go in this world. www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

Sometimes I get weird messages on YouTube comments that I don't understand. Just complete non-sequitors. I assume that it's someone trying to be mean but being bad at it, and then I get to feel superior. This is how I win the internet.

I've got a couple of hours before work and the apartment to myself- I'm going to stream Conquests of the Longbow! www.twitch.tv/princesspearlmermaid

I always get Tex Avery and Tex Murphy confused.

Night shift life: Went to Dennys to have breakfast food for dinner, but it's actually 5 am so it looped around to being breakfast again.

Since I announced that I'd be doing a full King's Quest run through, people have been asking if I'll play King's Quest 8 because it only is very loosely a Kings Quest game. Tonight, midnight EST, we begin. God have mercy on my soul www.twitch.tv/princesspearlmermaid

Google is useful again!

First you have to get a trumpet, then you give it to some variety of rhyme loving mouse, who will give you a crumpet in exchange

How would one even go about getting a crumpet at an adventure convention? 🤭 I assume it involves a convoluted trading sequence & combination of mundane items, with the proper recipe proportions found in a manual for copy protection?

sir this is a Wendy's

The cuddles…. 🥹🫶🏼

Slightly diminish a band: They Might Be Normal Sized Adult Men

I now have managed to get King's Quest 8 running, and I plan to make it everyone's problem.

Tonight on stream I'm finishing up the last of the good King's Quests. YES I SAID IT. We won't be moving on to Kings Quest 8 tonight because I've been trying for hours to get it to work, but we might play something else after if there's time. www.twitch.tv/princesspearlmermaid

Trying to get Kings Quest 8 to work. Any guides I'm finding start off fine, then devolve into "use THE PATCH" (what patch? from where?) or "this fixes the 3Dfx issue" (what issue?) I haven't even started playing and I'm already frustrated.

Drop some BONES ☠️ 🍖 🖤

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

I just the demo for Button Man, an adventure game set in 1920's Nova Scotia. I love it when games are made by going through a check list of things I like. The game isn't out until next year, and the demo is at this point old and buggy, but it was very fun. bit.ly/ButtonManGame

I see your headphone divots and raise you matching edemas on either side of my head from my tiara being too tight.

Going to the event: Everything fits into the car PERFECTLY and had a PLACE. Leaving the event: Shovel everything into the back wherever, I wanna go home

Can I go into Fantastic Four fresh, or do I need to see Fantastic One through Three first

No stream tonight! I am performing at The Ontario Pirate Festival this weekend, but I'll be back next week for more Kings Quest 7 goodness. www.thepiratefestival.com

Work is done. Now i sleep, then bring stuff to the Pirate Fest. Aw yeah.

Drop some SPACECRAFT 🛸 🖤 🚀

Every streamer i watch: No stream, this weekend, I'm going to Gen Con! Me: No stream this weekend, I'm going to The Pirate Festival!

I totally forgot to do my usual "going live" posts last week. Whoopsy. So I'm doing it a little in advance! Midnight tonight (EST) I'm playing King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride www.twitch.tv/princesspearlmermaid

Through the magic of editing, you can now hear me sing Girl in the Tower after beating King's Quest 6 in timewith the music, unlike the poor souls who suffered through the delay when I streamed it live. You still have to suffer through me not remembering the lyrics, though youtu.be/CT9djIvCOEA?...

She’s done #thelastunicorn

Live. Laugh. Lobster.

I would like to apologize to everyone who watched my stream of King's Quest VI yesterday. I didn't realize there's a 0.7 second delay between what I hear in my headphones and what goes out on Twitch, so my singing of Girl in the Tower was ROUGH. Both times. This is what editing is for!

It's my birthday today, so my husband took me to see Superman. Now all I want to do is talk about Superman.

For fun I decided to deep dive into my YouTube analytics. For some reason 0.3% of my views that come from YouTube searches is for "how to rub feet." I'm a MERMAID. There are EXACTLY ZERO FEET in my videos.

Early films used more mobile camera work than many people give them credit for but they also sometimes used other trickery, like faking a zoom-like effect by wheeling a piece of the set toward the still camera, as we see in the Méliès film THE MERMAID

Time to playthe BEST KINGS QUEST EVER. If you don't agree, FIGHT ME. King's Quest VI, baby! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...
