Shaun's back to cover a skill we last looked at over 800 episodes ago and, quite frankly, he's got dragon breath of the worst kind 🤢 Oh and I simply must include the skill description verbatim here as it's so perfect; "Choice of the Dragon is a thrilling interactive novel by Dan Fabulich and Adam Strong-Morse, where your choices control the story. The game is fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Battle heroes, wizards, and rival dragons in your insatiable thirst for gold and infamy. Start by dominating a local tribe of goblins, then usurp the kingdom, defending and expanding your despotic regime to annex neighboring kingdoms, incinerating the peasants in their thatched-roof cottages. O, mighty dragon, spread your wings and let your shadow fall over the terrorized nation beneath you! Play as male, female, neither, or an undetermined gender. Find and seduce another dragon to be your mate. Kidnap princesses for good conversation, to bait heroes, or for a light snack. Isn't it a little sexist to always kidnap princesses? Kidnap a prince instead. Ransack holy temples, blaspheming against vengeful gods." Nice sound-effects too.

Did wooly mammoths come before or after the pyramids? Well of course they came before, but did you know that wooly mammoths still roamed on a remote Arctic island while the pyramids were being built? So that one's not as cut and dried as you might think. That's just one of many questions you'll probably not be asked in this 'Did A happen before B' type game which we last looked at over *1100* episodes ago but I thought I'd throw that one in for free. You're welcome.

What's the significance of the partially obscured code in the wooden chest?

DTD1648: Find the Impostor

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 11:36:38 -0000

Hmmm. Not the best skill we've ever covered, but we're faithfully following our who dunnit theme to uncover culprits of the most dastardly of crimes… murder! 😱

DTD1647: Clue with the Ghost of Mrs. White

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 08:16:33 -0000

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 08:17:55 -0000

Did you know that your Echo can now have a completely different identity? (In The States, at least.) Champ of the show, David Ward did and brings us the low-down. Know that you should also be able to say "A-lady/Z-gent, change your voice" but I think the wake-word still needs to be tweaked within the app.

DTD1634: One Lie

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 07:14:20 -0000

Good as games go, but strickingly short of sound-effects for something that includes the option of in-skill purchases 😐

DTD1633: Safari Master

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 08:15:15 -0000

We *will* eventually come across some more difficult to identify animals in our global safari - honest!

Sat, 17 Jul 2021 08:37:56 -0000

You can now get your Echo to explain all of her various colour notifications. Here’s what they mean:
Yellow - This means that she has a new notification, or a reminder you haven’t responded to. Say, "What are my notifications?" or "What are my messages?"
Blue - A circling blue light means she’s listening. If you’re speaking and you don’t see the light, speak louder or check your power source.
Red - Solid red means the mic is muted and she cannot hear you. To turn the microphone back on, press the on/off mic button on your Echo.
Green - This colour shows when you’re receiving a call, or a Drop In on Echo Show.
Purple - This means the device is on the Do Not Disturb setting. You’ll also see a crescent moon in the upper left corner of an Echo Show. You can enable or disabled this by voice or set up a schedule via the app. Note that, if enabled by voice and not turned off again, it is automatically disabled at midnight.

Become the manager of a curious, out of the way bed and breakfast in My Loft – a voice-first, casual game exclusive to Alexa by Amazon.
From the skill description:
My Loft plays out entirely in real-time. Every day you play, you’ll experience a new quirky guest, playful events, and new ways to upgrade and customize your loft.
As your loft improves, you’ll attract more influential and demanding guests. From the charming farmer next door to the world’s greatest rock star, you’ll enjoy chatting with them, laughing with them, and learning their dreams and fears.
Features -
Voice-first game design lets you talk to your guests, befriend them, learn their secrets, and help them achieve their goals.
Real-time gameplay lets friends and family get involved in your loft. Guests arrive in the morning and leave the next day. The more everybody interacts with them, the happier they’ll be when they leave.
28 playful guests to entertain, ranging from championship dog breeders and novelists to famous influencers and celebrity chefs. Each guest features hundreds of lines of dialogue, voiced by professional actors.
Over 250 decorative objects to customize your loft with. Make your place more comfortable with deluxe beds and chairs, cooler with guitars and posters, or weirder with donut statues and rhino-shaped couches.
High fidelity 3D graphics and animation bring the characters and world of My Loft to life.
For customers with the new Echo Show 10, My Loft includes gameplay that follows you as you play and also delightful, motion choreographed screen animation.
My Loft is free-to-play. You may purchase additional, themed decoration packs to supplement the decorating experience.
HOW TO PLAY
Once you’ve checked a guest into your loft, chat with them often to keep them happy: Try, “Alexa, talk to my guest”
Guests check out the next day. The more stars you’ve earned, the more they’ll pay you. You can spend your hard-earned coins in the store to buy new decorations, props, and wallpapers: Try, “Alexa, what’s for sale?”
All items in the game rated for Comfort, Coolness, and Weirdness. The higher each of these ratings get, the more new guests you’ll unlock. At any point, you can check your Guest List to see who’s in town, and invite back your favorite people: Try, “Alexa, open my guest list”
You can tap on an item to move it, sell it, or transfer it into Storage, where you can access it later. You can rearrange the furniture in your loft at any time: Try, “Alexa, design mode”
To move through your loft, you can try, “Alexa, go to the living room,” “Alexa, go to the bedroom,” or, if you’ve unlocked it, “Alexa, go to the library”
HINTS & TIPS
If you get a guest’s happiness to 5 stars, you’ll get a special, unique gift. Try to collect them all!
To access your storage, try, “Alexa, open my storage”
If you’ve purchased in-skill purchases, they’ll always be available from storage. Try, “Alexa, open my storage”
Didn’t hear what a guest said? Try, “repeat that?”
Items in the store refresh every hour or so – check back often for those rare items!
Sometimes guests get tired of chatting. Give them an hour or so to rest up, and they’ll be ready to talk again soon.
Tired of an annoying guest? Try, “Alexa, kick out my guest”
Everybody likes to dance. Try, “Alexa, ask my guest to dance”
You can turn off the music, by saying “Alexa, mute music” or “Alexa, turn music on”
Be sure to check in on Fridays when Dewey drops by to paint your room, and on Saturdays where Uncle Abel sets up a farmer’s market where you can earn some extra coins

DTD1399: Insult Sword Fighting

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 08:59:43 -0000

Sat, 24 Oct 2020 09:11:48 -0000

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 07:38:46 -0000
