Good afternoon everyone,
Last night's stream of Persona 5 Royal was rather eventful as we really spent a lot of time in the Museum Palace to first secure the infiltration route and then going about dealing with Madarame in a battle where I finally figured out the counters to all the elements, Fire and Ice, Wind and Thunder... now figuring those out in relation to other the enemies I come across to capture them is surely going to be a pain in the backside to figure out.
In terms of difficulty, the Madarame fight was the first time I had character KO'ed outright due to trying to test out the mechanics... but not the first time I had someone KO'ed out right... that happened earlier when I discovered the 'hostage' system.So apparently, a possibility is for an enemy to down a member of the team and to hold them for ransom, and if things don't work out, they instantly get KO'ed. As if there is not enough to remember with this game.
Anyway, I did like how the Sayuri painting ended up being a lot more important as it relates to Yusuke, with it being revealed that it is a portrait of his mother who painted it and that in the original, he was included as a baby. It still doesn't excuse the whole wanting to paint Ann in the buff.
Which brings me to the latest subplot I came across involving the 'Maid' service and Sadayo Kawakami...well, all I could say is damn. I'm probably going to end up saying 'Because it's Japan' alot with this game, but I can't say I'm surprised considering the amount of Fan Art and Fiction there is out there that really adds a lot of life to to the already heavily detailed nature of the game.

For the raid we dropped in on Hawleigh who was playing an indie puzzle game called The Pedestrian over at twitch.tv/hawleigh!
We have a brand new logo for the twitch channel, courtesy of DaemsonW0lf. The logo we have used was created by another artist just before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it was kind of due for a chance. The design is basically a reverse inspiration, as the logo I was using was based on DaemonsW0lf's designs for some of my emotes, and now the new logo is based on the old logo. What can I say, I want to be able to say that she has done all the artwork for the channel.
I've already gone and made the major changes over on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter... changing things here on Blogger and over Hover are a bit more problematic, but I'll get to it eventually!
Messed around with Garfield Kart Furious Racing, and it appears there is a twist with the Hats and Spoilers achievements involving having to win the Gold Medal races and grand prix... well that's a kick in the teeth, because with racing games, for me to try and out do the A.I. is never really possible on the hardest difficulty.
So with that said, to extend my Xbox achievement streak, I installed WWE 2K15 in preparation to feature it on a stream in the near future. I might just pair it up with Garfield Kart Furious Racing in a bit of a weird double header.

- Gas tank never on empty: Win a match without reaching Stamina Level 3. (Single play)
The Phillies signed Nick Castellanos to a 5-Year $100 Million contract... and sure it makes the lineup look great... but the Phillies still will suck defensively, will still have a questionable rotation and a weak bullpen.

Well we had a great stretch at work, but things might
have slowed down a tad... or the switch over to a new system has the IT
guy on edge... one or the other. Wonder how not putting my usual back up
in place back in January will be a pain in the ass to deal with.
For tonight's stream we'll hook up the original PlayStation to take look at Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha on the PlayStation, and probably take a look at EX Plus 2 as well. Depending on how things go we might even hook up the PlayStation 2 to take a look at Street Fighter EX 3.
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
