My 3speaking Today

Hey, what's up, gamers! First of all, let me send you my warmest regards and, as always, welcome you to my 3speak channel and this post : ) . Well, as is my style, I’ll start by telling you that after wrapping up a exhausting but productive day of bureaucratic procedures to certify some courses I passed at my university, today I’m happy with the results I’ve achieved with the latest video and interface configs applied to my PC and various emulators, with the goal of providing you with better-quality gameplay and thus raising the bar for the content offered on my 3speak channel. For the past few days, I’ve been diving deep into everything related to customizing certain video settings on my PC, along with the emulators I usually use for retro gaming. I’ve learned a lot along the way—from image post-processing methods to everything about the various shaders that have been developed today to improve the presentation of many retro games.

I can say that in this gameplay session, we made significant progress in the main story of Zelda: A Link to the Past, as we finally met the elder master of Kakariko's Village, who revealed himself to be a descendant of the Seven Wise men—that group of wizards who sealed the evil Ganon with their powerful magic. He also told us that his name was Sahasrahla (a rather Asian-sounding name, by the way), and he shared more lore about the Master Sword, which is known as the Sword of Evil’s Bane. However, according to legend, we’ll first have to find three magical earrings before we can wield that sword.

After wrapping up our meeting with Sahasrahla and accepting a series of new quests that he had clearly marked on the map, we headed straight to the magic shop to try out our newly acquired magic bottle, which I thought was pretty pricey (100 Rupees)—especially considering how hard it usually is to farm some Rupees in this game, but hey, money’s tight for me in real life and here too, in the lands of Hyrule, ha ha ha! Finally, we bought a single magic potion to restore mana since it cost about 60 Rupees, and I had barely scraped together a little over 70… Players, thats all for today’s gameplay and post; I really hope to see you in my next entry. Cheers and good vibes.
