**Children of Morta
**You play as one of six members of the Bergson family and fight your way through three random generated dungeons to cure the disease named corruption.
You’re kind of forced to switch between the characters, because after going trough the dungeons they get exhausted. But there is an object to heal the exhausted character instantly.
Characters have a very unique playstile - Swordsman, Bowhunter, Firekid, KungFuGuy, scissors boy, and two others that I haven’t activated yet.
Conclusion: very addictive gameplay
15 to 30 Minute chunks on Run takes
colorful and nice 16bit graphics

Review of the first episode of Falcon and the Wintersoldier - New World Order

Generalities

• The new Show in the Marvel Univers
• 6 months after the blib
• Introduction and build up of the two main characters - Falcon Sam Wilson & Wintersoldier Bucky Barnes
• Introduction of the possible villan - Flag-Smashers
• more straight forward than WandaVision
• feels more like a movie, chopped into pieces
• We will get 6 episodes which reminds me on the 6-Parts of the Zack Snyder's Justice League
• The Production value is, again, outstanding and is on par with the Avenger Movies - Opening action scene
• What I like: the pacing between the action- and the character-building-scenes the subtle humor especially in the Buckie-Part - Psychiatrist and Restaurant the every people problems even superheros are facing - Harbor and Bank there is much more, but that's something for the Spoiler Part
• What I don't like: Only small inconsequent things here and there

Episode Discussion (SPOILERS)

• Sechs Monate nach dem sogenannten Blip, bei dem die Hälfte der Menschheit durch die Avengers zurückgebracht wurde, arbeitet Sam Wilson für die U.S. Air Force. Er erhält den Auftrag, in Tunesien ein Flugzeug mit einem entführten Militäroffizier zu befreien. Wie sich herausstellt, ist Georges Batroc der Anführer der Entführer, der zusammen mit seinen Gefolgsleuten und der Zielperson per Wingsuit das Flugzeug verlässt, als dieses von Sam angegriffen wird. Sam verfolgt die Terroristen daraufhin bis an die libysche Grenze, wo er den Militäroffizier befreien kann. Sam kehrt daraufhin nach Washington, D.C. zurück, wo er in Anwesenheit von James Rhodes den Schild von Captain America an dessen Museum übergibt, da es laut seiner Ansicht nicht ihm gehöre. Zeitgleich besucht Bucky Barnes Sitzungen bei einer Psychologin, nachdem er von der US-amerikanischen Regierung für seine Vergehen begnadigt wurde. Ziel der Gespräche ist es, dass Bucky mit seiner Vergangenheit abschießt, neue soziale Kontakte knüpft und so schließlich rehabilitiert werden kann. So macht er später zur Kellnerin Leah erste Annäherungsversuche.
  Sam sucht währenddessen seine Schwester Sarah auf, die das Fischerboot, auf dem beide in ihrer Kindheit aufgewachsen sind, aus Geldnot verkaufen möchte. Sam kann sie davon überzeugen, es stattdessen mit einem Kredit einer Bank zu versuchen. Da Sam jedoch vom Blip betroffen war, so in den vergangenen fünf Jahren nicht arbeiten konnte und daher kein Einkommen hatte, will die Bank sie nicht unterstützen. Sam wird stattdessen kurz darauf von Joaquin Torres kontaktiert, mit dem er zuvor schon in Tunesien zusammengearbeitet hat. Torres berichtet ihm von der neuen, anarchistischen Gruppierung Flag-Smashers, die eine Welt wie während des Blips wiederherstellen möchte. Gleichzeitig sieht Wilson im Fernsehen, wie John Walker vom Verteidigungsministerium als neuer Captain America vorgestellt wird und dabei sogar dessen Schild trägt.

• Six months after half of all life returned from the Blip, Sam Wilson works with the U.S. Air Force in Tunisia to stop Georges Batroc and the terrorist group LAF, who have hijacked a plane and taken an Air Force officer hostage, with support from first lieutenant Joaquin Torres.

• Wilson, who was given the mantle of Captain America by Steve Rogers, struggles with this idea and decides to give Rogers' shield to the U.S. government for a museum display.

• Bucky Barnes, who was recently pardoned, attends government-mandated therapy. He discusses his attempts to make amends for his time as a brainwashed assassin, the Winter Soldier.

• Torres investigates another terrorist group, the Flag-Smashers, who believe life was better during the Blip. Torres is injured by a member of the group with superhuman strength when he witnesses...

*Are the Aputure MC Multicolor LED Lights the best Lights I ever purchased?
*

• Let's find it out and start with a look what you get for your 100 Bucks
• Hello my tiny new family member, with 6x9,5cm and 130gr, two strong magnets and a 1/4" screw mount, you seem to be very mounting friendly.
• You can charge this Light either via USB-C or wireless on every CHI-Charger
• This little wheel is all you need to control nearly all the options this litte powerhouse offers - there is also the option of controlling it via the app - where we will get to it later
• Then we have the Manual and a Pouch - Everyone loves pouches ;-)
• In the pouch we have this white wobble thing - which is a diffusor. This comes in really handy, because this is around 1cm away from the actual light and that's enough to soften up the light.
• a braided USB-A to USB-C cable and two velcro stickers.

*Let's have a look at all the technical color things the Multicolor MC light gives us.
*- CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 96+

• TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 97+
• SSI scores of 84 in Tungsten and 74 in daylight.

• Maximum brightness of this tiny LED light is:
  Distance 30 cm 50 cm 1 Meter
  Maximum Brightness 1100 lux 400 lux 100 lux

• What does CRI mean:
  CRI (Color Rendering Index) is how accurately artificial light shows colors of the objects or people under them. Using a numerical scale from 1 to 100, CRI evaluates the color accuracy of objects under different lights compared to how those objects would look under natural sunlight.

• What does TLCI mean:
  TLCI (Television Lightning Consistency Index) takes a measurement of the spectral power distribution of a luminaire, using a spectroradiometer. It then analyses the performance of the luminaire in the context of television. It awards a single number value to the luminaire, on a scale from 0 to 100.

• What is Tungsten
  Tungsten is a very warm and orange light with a temperature about 3.200K. And is mostly used to create a very warm, cosy and skin tone pleasing light situation.

• With this tiny light you have full control of HUE, Saturation & Intensity. It gives you access to the complete 360 Degree of HUE and 100 levels of dimming adjustment. This means that you can reproduce any color you can imagine.

• It offers you CCT control (CCT stands for: correlated color temperature) in steps of 100 Kelvin between 3200K and 6500K. From warm Tungsten light to an overcast, cloudy day, which is slightly bluer than mid-day sun.

**Are the Aputure MC Multicolor LED Lights the best Lights I ever purchased?
**This is a simple question with a bit complicate answer.

Before I stumbled over the brand Aputure, I chose my lights not on, Kelvin, CRI and LUX.

My two LED Lights I have bought first are the DÖRR DVL-165, which are surprisingly good, if you take the fact, that I payed no attention on how good the lights are. You can get them for 90€ each. They are advertised at 5400k (+/-400), if you think about 400K plus/minus makes a major difference. The Output of these Lamps is around 2000LUX at 1Meter and you can dimm them continuously, which is great. Right now I use them with a Gel, and therefore it doesn't matter that the color Temperature is not so accurate.

The other two lights I use, are those Neewer lights. Which come in a pack of two for around 100€. The color Temperature is advertised at 5500K and because I have no lightmeter, I must rely on this information. The Output is pretty strong, I have only one light as a keylight in use and had to dimm it with a diffusion cloth.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my current Setup and can't wait to play around with these new...

What to expect at the Spring Events from Apple and Microsoft

Apple Spring Event

• On March 23 Apple will hold it's Spring Event - It’s not officially confirmed
• Will be another of these High Value Produced Online Events
• My guess what will be shown at the Event in the order I think that that has the most possibility:
• Release of iOS 14.5
• AirTags
• New AirPods3
• New iPadPro
• New iPad 9th-Gen
• New iPad Mini
• New AppleTV
• iPhone MagSafe Battery
• M1X MacMini
• New iMac

Microsoft Spring Event

• many rumours talk about an event on 23 of March
• this has to be taken with a big sceptics, because officials of MS have denied this
• why do I think that something will happen?
• Elden Ring trailer leak - would be the major burner if it’s MS Exclusive
• Halo infinite update - this made so big improvements since the disappointing Trailer at the release of Series SX - 343 studio promised monthly updates - MS gave them all the time they need to craft the best Halo
• Bethesda is acquired by MS - does this mean that B is only developing exclusively for MS? At least until now the games that have already been announced for PS5 are coming to Sony’s console. Deathloop - MS talked about releasing all the games for all platforms which support GamePass.
• GamePass - does the announcement mean that it will come to PlayStation?

Gaming things

1

• Apple Arcade - Fantasian - Hironobu Sakaguchi the creator of the legendary final fantasy series is the creative head behind this classic RPG
• two things make this look outstanding - over 150 handmade dioramas where crafted and then digitalised and then the 3D characters are put in - you can always avoid or better postpone the encounters - this means that you can send your enemies to a dungeon in a separate dimension and encounter them in a row I think. Then call it the Dimengeon mechanic
• story - you awake with only one memory left in a machine ruled multi dimensional world. And now you’re sent out to reclaim your memories and to investigate the mysterious mechanical infestation
• I will definitely try this game out and tell you what I think about it

2

• Shadow of the Tomb Raider - I love the environmental riddles - hate the combat

• Children of Morta - You play as one of six members of the Bergson family and fight your way through three random generated dungeons to cure the disease named corruption. You’re kind of forced to switch between the characters, because after going trough the dungeons they get exhausted. But there is an object to heal the exhausted character instantly. Characters have a very unique playstile - Swordsman, Bowhunter, Firekid, KungFuGuy, scissors boy, and two others that I haven’t activated yet. Conclusion: very addictive gameplay because of the 15 to 30 Minute chunks on Run takes, colorful and nice 16bit graphics, I have to come to an end, I have played it too many hours.

• looking for:

• Narita Boy - a 16 bit looking game that takes it self not so serious. It’s story is about the game Narita Boy on the console Narita one, wich is the most anticipated game of the 80s and sold out. You play as Narita boy who fights his way through the colourful world. My guess is that you’re not only playing the game, but that it’s becoming a mixture of reality and game

3

• what’s up next:
• explore how to make it possible to record let’s plays
• cyberpunk round trip - one hour in my city
• idea to speed run Resident Evil remake - BUT I have to check if I can play it because of the old tank controls

14 Days in. Thoughts on Productivity, learnings and Motivation

• Nearly exact 14 days ago I made my Commitment to my 66 days challenge and now I’m sharing all my thoughts and learnings on this. With you.

• I try to structure this episode as good and tight as I can

What are my experiences on my productivity

• my very ambitious plan, to record, film, edit and release a video on YouTube and a Podcast every day. That turned out not to be feasible. Why? I have my great daily JOB which is very time consuming and the BYFY Show is what my heart wants to do. And I can only do this, when I have finished my 9to5 job. I completely underestimated the time which it takes to, come up with ideas, to research and write a script. For example, I’m still writing on the script of my Review of the Aputure mc lights. And I have invested over 4 hours in this one alone. After this, I still have to Film and to do the voice recording. And then all that has to be edited. Ok the MC Lights are a special and very big project, but it illustrates how time consuming this is. I want to give you another example. A podcast like this one, needs around 2h of research and scripting. Then up to 1h recording. The Audio Podcast takes then a little bit longer than it’s length to edit and upload. This makes overall about 4 hours. The video version of the podcast takes another 2 to 4 hours. So, we have something about 6 to 8 hours for one Podcast. This gives you a little insight how time and energy consuming it is to something like this.

what are learnings out of the first 14days

• one video + one podcast every day is at my experience level not doable.
• but and this is a very important but, I managed to work on a podcast and or a video every day.
• some days some things come in between. And you can’t do anything to avoid them
• as long as I stay on course and keep on working on my project the day is not wasted
• I love what I’m doing here, all the complete different things I have to learn and do, research, script writing, storyboard, lighting, filming, sound recording, editing, keyword research, website building, thumbnail design and this is even not the complete list of things
• Time Management- you can’t do something this big without a serious plan on how to manage the different tasks you have to do throughout a day
• I have to press so many things into one day. There are: family, wife and kids and all the things you must accomplish on a daily base, sport, job, learning, reading a book and then the BYFY Show
• know your gear!

How do I keep me motivated

• all I need to motivate me is to imagine my future
• just kidding, or not really kidding
• I love every single task I have to master for the BYFY Show
• this is the complete opposite to my day job and keeps me in a great mood for it

Future Plans and how the BYFY Show continues

• the 66 days challenge will be accomplished and I thought about expanding this to 100 days
• depends on how far my experiences will evolve
• today I just started working on the graphical look for the 2nd Season
• this means, it’s more worthwhile than ever to subscribe to the BYFY show here on the Podcast and on YouTube

End

• for all of you who can’t wait to see the Aputure MC Review, it’s coming in the next days. I had completely underestimated the time it takes to realise a project like this
• it looks like i managed to keep the episode short and on topic this time.
• let us end this here. I catch you in the next episode of the BYFY Show
