Bør man prøve dette actionspil?Black Myth: Wukong er et action-RPG-spil, udviklet og udgivet af det kinesiske Game Science. Spillet er inspireret af en bog: den kinesiske klassiker Journey to the West, der på dansk kun findes i en forkortet udgave med titlen Det store kinesiske eventyr om Abekongen.Journey to the West er en kinesisk roman fra helt tilbage i det 16. århundrede, og den betragtes som én af de fire store klassiske kinesiske romaner. Kort sagt betyder dette spil meget for det kinesiske folk og deres kultur.Du spiller som “The Destined One”, en reinkarnation af Abekongen, der kan bruge magiske evner, transformationer og ikke mindst sin stok som våben i intense bosskampe.Black Myth: Wukong udkom oprindeligt den 20. august 2024 på PC og PlayStation 5, hvor det blev en konsol-eksklusiv titel. Dét skabte stor debat, og rygterne om en hemmelig tidsbegrænset eksklusivaftale florerede, men udvikleren Game Science udtalte, at der ikke var nogen aftale med Sony, og at årsagen til, at spillet ikke udkom på Xbox, var, at Xbox Series S ikke var kraftig nok. Hertil svarede Microsoft, at de ikke kunne kommentere på tredjepartsaftaler. Med andre ord sagde Xbox direkte, at der ikke var problemer med Xbox, og at der var en hemmelig aftale med Sony.Nu udkommer Black Myth: Wukong så endelig på Xbox Series X og S, præcis ét år efter udgivelsen på PlayStation. I kan drage jeres egen konklusion. Vi vil til gengæld komme med vores konklusion på spillet: Er Black Myth Wukong hypen og dine penge værd?Alt det, og meget mere, skal vi finde ud af nu.I denne episode deltager David Darville, Nicolai Fog og Morten Urup.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.
Every year, hundreds of films are produced in Hengdian, a once-obscure township in Zhejiang province that is now often referred to as "China's Hollywood".Few people realize, however, that the ascent of Hengdian — and the broader transformation of Zhejiang as a cultural powerhouse — was shaped earlier when Xi Jinping served as the province's Party secretary.In 2003, months after becoming secretary of the Communist Party of China Zhejiang Provincial Committee, Xi visited Hengdian at a moment when its sprawling film sets were growing rapidly, but the industry lacked support for deeper integration across the production value chain.Private capital was still restricted from entering critical areas such as film production and distribution."He encouraged us to explore boldly and vigorously develop the film and cultural industry," recalled Xu Tianfu, vice-president of Hengdian Group.Soon after Xi's visit, Zhejiang authorities launched a provincial task force to study reforms, which led to the creation of China's first national-level film industry pilot zone in Hengdian in 2004.The move marked a turning point in widening investment opportunities for the cultural sector and laid the groundwork for what is now one of the world's busiest film production hubs.In 2005, the provincial Party committee, under Xi's leadership, adopted "eight projects" to build Zhejiang into a province with strong culture.The projects span eight areas — civic quality, cultural excellence, cultural research, cultural preservation, cultural industry promotion, cultural infrastructure, cultural communication and cultural talent development.As China pushes to build itself into a nation strong in culture, the projects have provided key references and are a critical component of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, analysts said.The thought, first put forward at a two-day national meeting on the work of public communication and culture in October 2023, highlighted the need to meet the people's increasingly diverse, multitiered and multifaceted spiritual and cultural needs, and enhance the supply of services and products, in order to strengthen people's sense of cultural fulfillment and happiness.Chen Ye, former vice-president of the Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said the eight projects reflected Xi's belief that cultural development is central to modernization."His strategic vision, forward-looking ideas, political courage and pragmatic approach laid a solid foundation for preserving cultural heritage and promoting contemporary cultural development," she said.In Zhejiang, the results have been more than palpable. More than 5,000 film and television companies operate across the province. Since 2003, the added value of Zhejiang's cultural industries has risen from 44.2 billion yuan ($6.15 billion) to over 615 billion yuan. Their share of the province's GDP has more than doubled, to over 7 percent.The province is now home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, five national archaeological parks, 281 nationally protected heritage sites and 926 registered village museums.One of the most notable preservation efforts has focused on the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu City, a Neolithic site on the outskirts of Hangzhou.Preserving heritageDuring a 2003 visit, Xi was briefed on the status of the preservation of the site — a hub for a rice-cultivating and jade-worshiping culture dating back 4,300 to 5,300 years."The Liangzhu archaeological site is a sacred testament to China's 5,000-year civilization and a rare, invaluable treasure. We must ensure its preservation with the utmost care," Xi said during the visit.He ordered the expansion of the preservation zone, halted nearby quarrying and called for the site to be prepared for nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the next decade, archaeological work accelerated alongside policy, legal and ecological support, and in 2019, Liangzhu was inscribed on the World Heritage List.Preservation of intangible heritage was also elevated under Xi's tenure in Zhejiang.In 2005, when he visited a Kunqu Opera troupe in Yongjia county, the troupe had been struggling to survive since losing public funding in the 1980s.After watching the performance and speaking with veteran actress Lin Meimei, Xi initiated a provincial-level plan to rescue the centuries-old Kunqu Opera.The troupe was granted heritage status and allocated funding of 1 million yuan per year. Today, it stages more than 200 shows annually and has worked with a vocational college to train new performers."We are full of gratitude," Lin said. Now recognized as a national inheritor of Kunqu Opera, she added: "The flame of Kunqu Opera in Yongjia has not gone out. We've lived up to the legacy entrusted to us by our forebears."Innovation mattersXi's emphasis on cultural innovation also extended to the animation and gaming sectors.In 2005, he visited the China Academy of Art, where he highlighted the broad potential of the animation sector and the strength for Hangzhou to build a "city of animation".That same day, he toured Zhejiang Zhongnan Animation Co, now one of the largest original animation companies in China."Animation should not be measured purely in financial terms," Xi told Wu Jianrong, chairman of Zhongnan Group, of which Zhongnan Animation is a subsidiary."It provides young people with healthy spiritual nourishment. Chinese civilization has over 5,000 years of history — you can create animated works featuring our national heroes," Xi said.Encouraged by Xi's remarks, Zhongnan produced a series of animations and began exporting them.That year, Hangzhou hosted the inaugural China International Cartoon & Animation Festival, generating over 10 million yuan in on-site sales and 3 billion yuan in potential deals.Xi later wrote to national regulators to help secure Hangzhou as the event's permanent home and supported the creation of a dedicated organizing office.Hangzhou is now home to more than 270 animation and gaming companies, employing over 12,000 people. The city is the birthplace of the hit video game Black Myth: Wukong, and 227 internet-based animated series produced in the city were licensed in 2024, accounting for 34.45 percent of the national total.Across Zhejiang, there are more than 300,000 private cultural enterprises — up from fewer than 45,000 in 2003.Chen, the former vice-president of Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said that Xi's cultural initiatives during his tenure in Zhejiang and the landmark achievements in the new era highlighted the importance of sustained efforts to deliver cultural development outcomes that truly benefit the people."It also indicated that the implementation and evaluation of cultural initiatives should prioritize the production of more high-quality outcomes to meet the cultural rights and interests of the broadest segments of the population."

Sdr Hdr Trick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPUKW3xLTNM Talk about Gameplay / Lighting /HDR / Bright High contrast https://github.com/freeload101/SCRIPTS/blob/6059ce43696e3c8101926da7959bebafbd0ab3b6/AutoHotkey/C0ffee%20Anti%20Idle%20v2.ahk#L130 SUMMARY The presenter discusses configuring monitor settings for development, emphasizing HDR calibration and multi-monitor productivity. IDEAS Calibrating a monitor's HDR settings can significantly improve image quality by adjusting brightness and color. Using HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances the visual experience by improving contrast and color accuracy. Adjusting black levels and brightness helps in achieving optimal visibility for both bright and dark scenes. The calibration of HDR settings involves fine-tuning various parameters like gamma, whites, and blacks. Multi-monitor setups can enhance productivity by allowing more efficient workspace organization. Curved monitors may benefit development tasks by providing a larger visual area without needing multiple displays. Managing dual monitors requires spatial awareness to efficiently switch focus between screens. Windows' snapping features help in organizing windows on multi-monitor setups, enhancing workflow efficiency. The presenter finds the transition from dual monitors to a single large curved monitor advantageous for productivity. A larger screen real estate reduces the need for physical separation of workspaces, easing multitasking. QUOTES "I will be looking at calibrating my monitor's HDR settings." "Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in regards to these videos..." "HDR is an incredible technology that allows us to see better contrast and colors on our screens." "That way we can achieve a much more dynamic range of colors while playing games and watching media on our TVs, computer monitors, phones, etc." "It will be a bit different between calibrating a normal monitor with SDR to a HDR-enabled display." "So if the blacks are too bright then you won't really see the black levels as well." "The idea is that your brightest whites should be at 100% and your darkest blacks should be around 0%." "With this being said, I've never had a lot of luck with using my Windows HDR settings before." "A lot of people say don't buy a curved monitor for production stuff." "And now I have like basically three monitors." RECOMMENDATIONS Calibrate your monitor's HDR settings to enhance color and contrast. Adjust brightness, gamma, whites, and blacks for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions. Utilize Windows snapping features for efficient window management on multi-monitor setups. Consider transitioning to a single curved monitor for improved productivity and workspace real estate. Familiarize yourself with the tabbing system to ensure input is directed to the correct window. Experiment with panel sizes in your multi-monitor setup to find a configuration that suits your workflow. Ensure proper calibration of both SDR and HDR displays to achieve the best visual experience. Adjust black levels so they are not too bright, maintaining clear visibility of darker scenes. Set whites to 100% for better representation of bright areas in images and videos. Explore different monitor configurations to determine what enhances your productivity the most.

We take a thorough look at the nature of soft power, how it can be used, and whether or not a country truly needs it to explore China's soft power deficit and what can be done to fix it. While China does have SOME soft power, arguably its lack of the charm of its neighbours and rivals means its culture and ideology is often met with suspicion or outright rejection. This can lead to difficulties when interacting on the global stage, for example when it comes to pandemic management, border relations, or the promotion of language and culture. Do small wins like the success of the video game Black myth: Wukong present a way out for China's cultural tzars? Or is the hand of the state just too heavy to allow the organic spread of a rich cultural heritage that has the potential to bring China into a new era of prestige and attractiveness?Chapters (00:00) Introduction - South Korea's soft power boom(04:50) What is soft power?(17:22) How soft power can be used and the failure of Confucius Institutes(26:52) Does China need or want soft power?(41:25) Consequences of China's lack of soft power(47:50) Missed soft power opportunities(52:45) Black Myth: Wukong and a potential new era of Chinese soft powerSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

Daniel talks to his friend Marcy (musician, teacher, world traveler) about the game Black Myth: Wukong which is based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West.

We did it. We made it through Black Myth: Wukong. This game had its ups and downs in the difficulty of its bosses (and there are plenty). But if you like Soulslike games and a challenge, you'll enjoy it.
In 2022, approximately 8,500 people lost their jobs in the games industry. In 2023, that number rose to 10,500, and just last year it ballooned to an unfathomable 14,600. Will it be worse this year? That's currently unknowable, but one thing's certain: Industry playing and spending habits are radically changing, and the newest victim of the environment (and loads of really bad choices along the way) is Warner Bros. Games, which shut down three studios (including the vaunted team Monolith Productions, cancelling its Wonder Woman project in the process) while declaring it's all-in on very specific IP, but nothing more. Is WB Games' meltdown a cautionary tale? Or is it a simple example of more-of-the-same? With seven out of 10 PlayStation 5 players playing at least one of the 10 most popular games on the platform -- and with an astonishing 40% of playtime on PS4 and PS5 spent with those 10 games, and those 10 games alone -- we are nearing an inflection point. There are too many people making too many games alongside too little interest in much of what's being released, and frankly, the bloodletting is nowhere near finished. We discuss. Plus: PSVR2 gets a major price cut, THPS 3+4 Remastered leaks via ratings, Black Myth: Wukong sells huge on PlayStation 5, Sony-published Midnight Murder Club gets a release date, and more. Then: Inquiries from our beloved listeners. How hyped are we for Death Stranding 2? What do we make of the rumors of a God of War-related announcement slated for March? Could we define the term "Eurojank"? Will Chris ever get another haircut again in his entire life?

We're back! 2024 is so last year; it's now time for us to dwell here in 2025... and perhaps even beyond. The holiday season was pretty quiet news-wise, but there were fairly substantial exceptions in the form of two lengthy interviews published by legendary Japanese games publication Famitsu, conducted with both of PlayStation's recently-installed co-CEOs. On the one hand, Hermen Hulst was peppered with questions about Helldivers 2 and Concord, the future of Sony's single-player initiatives, and whether PlayStation fans can expect more games to travel off-platform. On the other hand, Hideaki Nishino was prodded for answers on topics like the future of cloud gaming, the success of PS5 in the wake of PS4, and even when we might see a hypothetical PlayStation 6. Obviously, we're left with much to discuss. Other news of note includes another delay for Assassin's Creed: Shadows, early rumblings of a potential new emulation solution for PS3, compelling evidence of a forthcoming remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a turned-down pitch for Dead Space 4, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why were so many people convinced Black Myth: Wukong was a PS5 console-exclusive title? Is it necessary for a True Yakuza Fan to play all titles in the series? 10 years on, how has Colin enjoyed his decade of media independence? Can we convince one listener not to name his son Simon or Ronan, but Richter instead?

After two weeks of R&R, the Duke boys are back! Plenty happened while we were away. Everything from Oblivion Remake leaking (again) to a supposed Xbox console dropping in 2026 circulated, so we have much to pick up at the start of the new year. For starters, a Developer Direct looms and the lineup could be stacked if it's to include The Outer Worlds 2, Fable, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and South Of Midnight as expected. The question on the tip of everyone's tongue is simply this: "What is the mystery fifth game appearance?" In year one, it was Hi Fi Rush. Year two gave it to a rare third party appearance in Square Enix for Visions Of Mana. The Duke debate what could show up! We also dive into Xbox's sudden competition with Valve as they've lept headfirst into challenging Windows with their own OS. How has this accelerated Microsoft's plans without a handheld ready? Plus, grim estimates of Xbox's current console sales and, even worse, Xbox's sales hits to Game Pass titles!

The world of gaming sure didn't slow down for turkey week as the Dukes has plenty to dive into! It begins with the handheld wars. Steam, ASUS, Logitech, and many others have thrown their hat into the ring, but most await what Xbox and PlayStation will do. Recently, it was confirmed that an Xbox handheld is in development, but now Bloomberg has suggested that PlayStation is working on their own too. With the rise of PS Plus and streaming, PlayStation is slimming down the gap between them and Xbox on many features. What will Xbox need to do beyond timing its release well to compete with a company as synonymous with handhelds as Nintendo? More importantly, will Xbox and PlayStation find any success in a market that has seen very little handhelds sold in the scheme of things. We're far removed from the days of the Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and PlayStation Portable. So, what gives? The Dukes sink their teeth into this juicy rumor. Naturally, we discuss the evolving situation including Avowed and its art director. Has the situation gone too far and what action can be taken on both sides to mitigate this disaster? The talk is complicated and so we peel it back layer-by-layer as we get into the thick of another fantasy game caught in chaos. Plus, more on Xbox's new Game Studios lead, Call Of Duty's 4 year development cycle, and much more! Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:25:01 - Avowed director Carrie Patel spoke to Gamesradar on Obsidian's next game versus the competition 0:34:59 - 4 year dev cycles for Call Of Duty are the new norm? 0:42:37 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has already sold 1 million copies 0:48:27 - Square Enix wants Final Fantasy VII Remake on Xbox 0:57:51 - Craig Duncan is officially the new head of Xbox Game Studios 1:00:09 - Black Myth Wukong getting “surprises” later in the year 1:02:03 - The Witcher 4 has entered full production, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 30 million copies, and a new animated Cyberpunk show is on the way 1:08:09 - Casey Hudson's studio, Humanoid Origin, has shut down 1:23:03 - Baldur's Gate 3 profits insight 1:28:48 - Balatro made a looooot of money 1:32:29 - Top 20 best selling games for October in US 1:37:31 - What We're Playing 2:09:08 - PlayStation's handheld has leaked 2:35:24 - Avowed drama recap 3:05:18 - Game Pass Pick Of The Week Learn more about your ad choices.

The industry was recently set alight by a pair of articles from newswire Reuters indicating that Sony is interested in buying Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawa Corporation, and indeed, Kadokawa itself has since confirmed the reporting. Such a move has massive implications for Sony's increasing dominance in the anime and manga spaces, and it's likely this attempt at M&A is squarely focused on that first and foremost. But acquiring Kadokawa could be a huge boon for the PlayStation brand, too, considering it owns the likes of Spike Chunsoft and Acquire, and perhaps most importantly a controlling share in FromSoftware, too, the prolific studio behind Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Armored Core, Sekiro, King's Field, and more. Should Sony nab Kadokawa, does that mean FromSoft would join PlayStation Studios as a proper first party team? Could further emphasizing Sony's Japanese identity provide a valuable path forward for PlayStation? Other news this week includes fresh PlayStation 6-related rumors, word out of Square Enix concerning Final Fantasy VII Remake: Part III and a potential 2D-HD version of Final Fantasy VI, PlayStation Portal's awesome upgrade to allow cloud gaming without PS5, and more. Per usual, we wrap things up with inquiries from our beloved audience. What are our thoughts on this year's iteration of Geoff Keighley's Game Awards? Which difficulty settings are most appealing to us in the titles we play? How does Colin deal with any negative feedback surrounding the games he writes? In one listener's quest to invite another to be his Best Man, could it be that their shared romance is the real story?
