Ultima IV revolutionized RPGs with its focus on morality and virtue over traditional heroics. The game challenges players to become a model citizen in a world where actions and character matter more than loot. Its unique approach to storytelling and gameplay set a new standard.

Finished "Console Wars" by Blake Harris. This was a weird book. I got used to the fiction-like style, and looked past the omissions and unusual structure, but I couldn't get used to the cringey prose. There were too many blunt metaphors, jokes that didn't make much sense, and "characters" that felt unalive despite being actual people.

I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in video games during the first half of the 90s. It's got a lot of interesting bits, and it's fun to re-live the console wars again (I was on team Sega). The parts where it shifts away from its "story" to talk history are genuinely good and I wished it had more of that. I also wish there had been more voices from the Japanese perspective. There's more about Kalinske's dog than there is about the SG-1000. #books #sega #nintendo #consolewar
