The Visual Novel Of Persona 4: Arena

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Persona 4: Arena saw the big focus on the story mode, which like the various BlazBlue games I've played over the years, meant it was a visual novel approach to presenting the story with a couple of decision points with a few one round fights thrown in. I did enjoy the story and getting to know the cast of Persona 4... and as well as some characters from Persona 3 that I've seen in the story paths for Yu and Yukiko up through their respective cliffhangers. Now I did considered doing a full on read out loud of all the narrative text... which lasted until we reached the cliff hanger for Yu, and yeah, that is just way too much to cover while trying to keep up with the chat. Still we'll set aside a night of the week to gradually go through the story mode. 

Of course I did also learn this important tip for when I get around to playing Persona 4 (or Persona 4: Golden): Do not eat anything prepared by Yukiko.

Twitch Clips

For last night's raid, YrGamerBunni redeemed the Guide The Raid, and thus the fun was sent over to Aiwindels who was playing World of Warcraft over at twitch.tv/aiwindels!  

While yesterday's day work day was shorten because we hit out goal rather quickly, it was not without incident with regard to Xfinity and a couple of dips of service. So pissed off as I was, first chance I got I called Xfinity to get a few an appointment set for this weekend to have a technician come out to check the lines, the tap and other things Xfinity needs to check to ensure nothing needs replacing or repaired. Now what is funny is that I cot a call from Xfinity's 'Advance Technical Team' who wanted to do same procedures remotely that were done the previous night in a blatant attempt to get me to cancel the technician visit this Saturday. That is some major league chutzpah.

Of course I would get a call this morning saying they fixed the issue and if I want to cancel the appointment for Saturday... and since I have not fully tested my connection this morning, I still confirmed the technician visit for Saturday.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Defensive Combo #1, Defensive Combo #2 and Front-Back Step Combo.

Moving on to the amazing stupidity that is Fox News refusing to air the January 6 hearings because of how they were involved in the build up and encouragement for the insurrection attempt back in 2021 just shows how gutless they are. 

The Price Gouging done by places like Wegman's is getting idiotic in particular with how prices are being changed on the fly to penny pinch the consumer.

Played some Smite off stream last night, mostly just to grind out a few things, nothing too complicated.

For tonight's stream, we're going to get back to Fallout 76, and Iceman will be joining us at some point so we'll continue some of the various quests we both have.

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