  • Review: 'Sky - Children of the Light' has arrived on the iPhone and iPad

    Sky, like its predecessor Journey, is a beautiful game.   But unlike its predecessor, it is cryptic, non-intuitive, and just about impossible to figure out.   I played it for a few hours in various sessions over the weekend, and after all that, I still have no idea what the game is about, what one is supposed to do, or how to do it.   And from the conversations I had with others using the in-game chat, no one else can figure it out either.   There are no instructions, icons of various things pop up all the time with no explanation as to what they mean or if they are even actionable.  Something happens when you click on some of those icons but I don't know what is happening.   Charts of icons appear at times, with some of them pulsating, I assume wanting you to click on them.  So I did and something happened, I'm not sure what or what it triggered.   After these hours of trying to figure it out, I got tired of it and deleted the game.   No game should be this hard to figure out.  Everyone else who was playing was saying the same thing in our chats.  I appreciate the attempt at building a game that contains a strong social component, but when all your time using that social component is asking each other what we are supposed to be doing, something has gone terribly wrong.   I loved Journey, and still play through it from time to time, but the difference is that it is easy to learn, has a definite story line, and you quickly figure out what to do to advance your story along.

  • Apple includes confusing "5G E" AT&T connectivity icon in iOS 12.2 beta

    The iPhone XR does not include 4x4 MIMO that is a lynchpin of AT&T's 5GE scam, it only supports 2x2 MIMO, so it gets less than half the data speed of the higher-priced models.    This capability is among the things you don't get when you buy the XR instead of the XS and XS-Max, both of which include 4x4 MIMO.
