Closing in on 'Finishing' Persona 4 Arena

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Persona 4 Arena was rather productive as we knocked out the story chapters for Yosuke and Elizabeth. I feel Yosuke's was unnecessarily long and just felt rather dull in comparison to everyone else's, which was disappointing, sure it had a couple of great moments early on, namely with Chie saying she wants to eat him, but it felt really lacking.

Elizabeth's story on the other than was much short, and certainly filled in some gaps with references to Persona 3 as well as justifying why she is involved in the tournament. In fact, her ending justifies use of the character in almost every instance of the Persona franchise, because she is looking for away to free the hero of Persona 3 from a permanent fate.

Now I did have a goal about going through the challenges and completing 150 of them for the achievement, which we were successful at doing... and learned that Kanji is (for me) the worst character. Nothing he does seems to flow together with how I play.

We also completed Naoto's Arcade mode, and we had a number of close calls with losing a few rounds. Naoto has a fun kit, but the fact she remains stationary when using her revolver leaves her wide open.

Next time we play Persona 4 Arena, the goal will be to go through all of Yu's story from start to finish, selected the first choice option to make sure we get the secret ending. Also the goal of doing arcade runs with every character will continue as well.

For the raid, we dropped in on YrGamerBunni who was playing Halo: Infinite over at twitch.tv/yrgamerbunni!  

While I've had some issues with my Internet connection, as well documented on my blog over the past month, I have not had a full instance where it went down completely, as was the case this afternoon while I was in the middle of work. Thankfully it came back up to where I could complete an interview. Fucking Xfinity... and I say that because they just got a payment from me on Monday!

Think I'm going to start laying off the Hot Pockets... Inflation has pushed them beyond being a reasonable snack! 

Ended up dealing with a tension headache in the middle of the night? How could I tell it was that type of headache? Because I also had a bit of congestion... and believe me a tension headache is very easy to identify when one has it as semi-frequently as I do.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Uppercut Combo #2, Defensive Combo #1 and Double Combo #1 for 28 minutes

Twitch made it clear that the use of shout out clips goes against their Terms of Service, so that gimmick that I've been using through Clippy is done for now. But hey, at least the BRB screen will not be affected.

For tonight's stream, we'll be messing around with Fallout 76 as I slowly advance the plot. We may be joined by Iceman for more shenanigans.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
