A Near Nine Hour Long Stream

Good morning everyone,

The title of today's blog is accurate, last night's stream was nearly nine hours and there's a very good reason for... you see on Fridays as you know I've been focused on Persona 5 Royal, a game that is known for being very long. So trying to be efficient I figure just get through exploring the palaces all in one night when I come across each one. Low and behold, the Bank Palace was a lot more of a pain in the ass than I would have assumed.  Granted in terms of finding everything, I was able to do that, unlike with the first two Palaces in the game.


Still, the character of Makoto won me over based on her Persona alone being that of a damn motorcycle riding badass. Needless to say I was not expecting that and hence why it's one of the clips listed down below. Makoto having nuke based skills also was a big help in the Palace in terms of Yen grinding, but boy I need to remember to stock up on SP replenishing items the next time I go into a Palace in the game.

As far as the plot goes, dealing with a glutinous extortionist who was an actual criminal was a nice change of pace, and really opens things up in terms of how big things can get in Persona 5 Royal. On the flip side I did a couple of things out of order, and spent a lot time fusing Personas. I know I need to remember to get a Phoenix Persona that has Counter to unlock the next level of stuff I can utilize. I'm also looking forward to seeing all the Showtime attacks as they are unlocked, the one for Ann and Morgana was really cool.

Because of the length of the stream, we didn't do a raid last night instead we hosted Maximilian_DOOD  who was playing DNF Duel over on twitch.tv/Maximilian_DOOD.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Uppercut Combo #2, Body Hook Combo and Body Uppercut Combo. I'll admit the workout was done before 5:30 AM and before I went to bed. Why? Because when I'm up past a certain time at night I feel full of energy for whatever reason, so every so often the daily workout gets done super early. I also set a new personal best for the Hip SHape Focus Combo when doing some extra Free Training, out of 744 possible actions 737 were perfect and 7 were okay!

Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise Stats For 3/27 to 4/2/22

  • Punches Thrown: 15,021
  • Estimated Calorie Burn: 6103.81
  • Martina's Contender Progress: 23 out of 30 total hours trained

I did not go to bed straight away, I watched the WWE Hall of Fame, well skipped through it to push past a lot of the fluff. The class of Undertaker, The Steiner Brothers and Vader, with Shad Gaspard being the Warrior Award winner is pretty damn solid, while Queen Sharmell is the real question mark.

For tonight's stream, we will be playing Apocalypse which stars Bruce Willis, and we'll be utilizing the PlayStation for it to play it on original hardware.

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