Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream saw us play Final Fantasy XIII, and clearing the first two chapters of the game, and getting use to the ATB system certainly is a challenge because of how fast paced it makes the combat. That said, I was reminded about the most annoying character in the game, which is of course Hope, who is such a fucking whiner earlier. On the flip side, I totally forgot about how Snow and  Lighting were basically 'in-laws' (again I did play the game back in 2011 before my original PS3 crapped out).

Anyway, we'll return to Final Fantasy XIII on Thursdays stream

Tomorrow night the plan is to play Sea of Thieves with Iceman and Striker, but we'll see how things roll out.

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Dead by Daylight and Smite

We did have work today, and while not as great a shift as last night, it was good to have work. The final question on the study is questionable in what are they looking to be asked as it doesn't make any sense.

Finished the Fairy Tail story to complete that commission, getting it over 4000 words was pretty cool. Already started the next story in the commission queue which a NCAA related one, and I get to make some references to things in the recent sport news.

Finished series ten of Red Dwarf, and once again Rimmer gets to save the day, which has to be a tradition at some point. Looking forward to seeing if his character progression carries over to series eleven.

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Fate: Took the first steps toward challenging an unjust fate.
• Instrument of Dissent: Survived the Purge to confront a greater peril.
• Instrument of Tragedy: Strode into danger's den and paid the consequences.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore and other notes

Tonight's stream was dedicated to Skullgirls as we worked our way through seven story campaigns (Robo-Fortune, Beowulf, Peacock, Painwheel, Ms. Fortune, Valentine and Double) and one thing I can say for certain is that considering who linked Valentine and Painwheel are, that the later is clearly the game's true protagonist over Filia, since there is a connection between her and Painwheel as well. Now I've made the decision to keep Skullgirls in the line up for next Monday to go through the remaining six story mode characters.

Tomorrow night we're starting up Final Fantasy XIII, now the last time I played the PS3 version was back in December of 2011, so basically I am going itno it blind. But I do got a lead on an old school strategy guide which could come in handy.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on 13babybear13 who was playing Lego Star Wars; The Skywalker Saga

We did have work today, and the assignment was focused on the Special Election up in New York to replace George Santos, kind of interesting to hear what folks read, saw and heard about the two candidates.

Did a fair amount of writing today, but could not finish the commission story based on Fairy Tail. It is about 50% finish give or take.

Part of why was because I was waiting for the delivery of two backup keyboards considering the one I use was acting wonky recently. Better to be prepared.

So while I was waiting I watched most of Series 10 of Red Dwarf, and I rather like how Lister has evolved a bit as a character. Also the episode titled Lemons was fucking awesome!

Skullgirls 2nd Encore Achievements

• Days of Future Cats: It is for your own good, BEEP BOOP MEOW.
• Kind of an Idiot, But Not a Bad Guy: Hope you can rest in peace, big guy. Or this piece of you can, anyway.
• Picking Up Where Marie Left Off: Bloodying mafia fools? What a hoot!
• Command Override: Does he really think he can control her...?
• Ms. Fortune and the Missing Fishfolk: They already took one family from her, and like hell she's going to let them do it again.
• Deeper Into Enemy Lines: Nothing more than a pawn.
• The Other Candidates Will Be Consumed: As she denied her purpose, they denied her continued existence.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was a solid five hours of action, big thanks to  Odeu and PandaSweet for joining in on chaos. Much to my surprise, I picked up one of Kiriko's achievements which shocked the check out of me. Also had a huge moment as Mauga getting three enemies trapped in his cage fight ultimate, which itself should have been an achievement. Oh well. Other characters I used tonight was Ashe, Reaper, Orisa, Brigitte and a few others

Tomorrow night we're dedicating to doing story mode runs in Skullgirls 2nd Encore.

Obviously I could have started Final Fantasy XIII tomorrow, but I did say I want to work in Skullgirls between major games on weeknights depending on when they are finished. 

For the raid we dropped in on intergalacticpants who was playing Mass Effect Andromeda 

I did sleep in ab it today, waking up around 12:30 PM, but I got various things done, most importantly Laundrey.

Watched parts 1 and 2 of Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, and it is kind of weird watch the show when episodes have cuts for commerical breaks.

Finished the WWE related story to complete a subscribestar subscription request, next is a normal commission request based on the anime / manga Fairy Tail, which might take me two days to write.

Next time I do groceries I need to make sure I pick up several boxes of shrimp, as they turn out great in the air fryer!

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Yokai: Restore 1500 health and land 5 critical hits without dying as Kiriko in Quick or Competitive Play.

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight we put the finishing touches on South Park The Fractured But Wole wrapping up the final Mintberry Crunch DLC story and going after Morgan Freeman to get one more achievement. The squad I  took into that fight was Mintberry Crunch, Call Girl and Henrietta, all three of which was able to apply buffs and debuffs which made the fight doable with only two of them being knocked out at any point in time. There are three achievements left in the game, but we can save those for a future play through.

Now that wasn't the whole stream, we did play some Smite, and big thanks to Striker for being apart of a few matches. We won three and lost three I think, so it evened out, as I played as Nike and Athena. Did accidentally turn off auto-purchasing of items, which certainly put me in a bind in a couple of bouts.

Tomorrow night we're playing Overwatch as is the Sunday night tradition. Did work more ranked matches this weeks, but not too many bouts on role queue to avoid playing damage in ranked bouts.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Since we're done with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Monday night we will be playing Skullgirls 2nd Encore and going through a few story modes for various characters in a bit of achievement hunting. 

Tuesday night however, we will be starting up Final Fantasy XIII. Now I have played this game a bit many years ago prior to my original PlayStation 3 dying on me, so basically we will be going into it blind! I remember the combat system being quite difficulty to understand.

Got some writing done on a SubscribeStar commission tier story today, which is WWE related, I hope to have it finished before tomorrow's stream.

Nearly finished season eight of Red Dwarf, just have one more episode to watch, and then it's the jump to the more modern seasons.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

• Farts over Freckles: Picked a fight with Morgan Freeman and defeated him

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight we started up Ghost of Tsushima and I have to say, I can safely say it's going to be a long journey as it seems the open world aspect of this game seems very similar to Horizon Zero Dawn, which means I'm going to be as thorough as possible exploring every thing on the map. I also set the audio settings for the dialog to be in Japanese with English subtitles, as it seems like the most immersive way to play it, and so far based on how the dialog sounds, I feel I'm right.

Tomorrow night we're wrapping up South Park The Fractured But Whole, focusing on the Mintberry Crunch DLC story, along with possibly taking another shot at the Morgan Freeman boss fight. 

For tonight's raid we dropped in on baenalux who was playing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, doing their first run of Mass Effect 3

Work is still on hold at the moment, but I am looking for something more stable.

Did knock out an Arrow related commission in fairly short order, with the next story on the docket being a SubscribeStar subscription story based on 2010s WWE. It may take two days to write it

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

•  Gathering Storm: Recover the katana of clan Sakai.
• A Moment in Time: Personalize a scene in Photo Mode.
• Point of No Return: Break your code to help a new friend.
• Lost and Found: Discover a Pillar of Honor and collect its Sword Kit.

South Park The Fracutred But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park The Fractured But Whole got plagued with not one but two brief power interruptions, that ended up dividing the stream into two parts, which is really frustrating when it comes to archiving everything. It's been a while since I had something like that happened, but it was related to PSE&G.

Now we did finish the game and I really liked how the New Kid having a reason for his powers. Was a bit surprised to see that the game ends with having to beat up both Kyle and Cartman, and that seems to be a trend since there is the option to beat up one or the other in the Stick of Truth. We did try the Morgan Freeman fight, which did not go well, as I think I'm going to need a team that fights from a distance to overcome it. We did the Casa Bonita DLC story, and I was night expecting a Michael Jackson cameo.

We also started the Mintberry Crunch DLC, but it appeared to be a lot longer so we're going to continue that on Saturday's stream, and maybe give the Morgan Freeman fight another shot.

Tomorrow night we're starting up Ghost of Tsushima on the PlayStation 4

For the raid we dropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing Palworld

No update on work resuming, but all bills are paid at the moment so we're in a good spot

Knocked out the AEW commission request, which turned out to be a decent follow up to an earlier one. 

Next on the commission agenda is a short Arrow related story

It's now been one year since mom's passed... and yeah, I'm missing her a whole lot right now.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievement

• Fully Bloated: Unlocked all combat TimeFarts
• Invasive Tumor Removal: Defeated Mutant Cousin Kyle
• Through the Bowels of Time: Survived the farts of future past

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Iceman and I engage in a quest that involved a 20 minute long brawl against a Ashen captain, skeletons and lots of fire. We were able to get a pretty big haul of loot turned in but we left of the chest of rage because of how it kept exploding and it sunk out ship!

Tomorrow night we look to finish South Park: The Fractured But Whole

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Baldur's Gate 3

Having to get a lot of my paystubs together for the past year in preparation for filing a dispute with the local UI office as it seems like things might be a struggle in the coming weeks

Finished the WWE related commission request and started work on an AEW related one, which I should be able to finish fairly easily tomorrow, as I got the intro and set up written already.

King of glad that the weather this week got up into the 60s, as a lot of the snow has melted... of course we might get more snow this weekend.

Watched episode two of Red Dwarf Series 8, our Dwarfers dressed as the Dibbley clan was a great little moment.

Good night!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park: The Fractured But Whole was extended a bit tonight because just like on Saturday I kept finding things to do as it was related to various quests. We placed all the headshots (but that quest cannot be turned in yet because of politics) and found all the yaoi art pieces, and I thought we had all the cats found (but turns out one is in an area we have not accessed yet). We did battle with Professor Chaos, got ambushed by Ninjas... and saw Craig and Tweak reunite (LET'S FIGHTING LOVE!!!!). All in all a great night

Tomorrow we shall continued South Park The Fractured But Whole, picking up with a quest where we must assist Tupperware (Tolkien) in a main story mission. 

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Work was held off today because we are waiting for materials to come in, which basically means the client was probably adjusting something in the questions to probably make them more of a mouthful. 

Got paid for all completed commission requests today, so that's all caught up (thank goodness) so now we started planning ahead for February.

The AEW commission story came together rather nicely, and the next one with a WWE related one, which shouldn't take me more than three or four hours to bang out. So we can really make a dent in things on the docket by the end of the week.

I do need to learn about Star vs. the Forces of Evil for one that will be written next month however.

Finished series seven of Red Dwarf, and while the cliff hanger for the ship itself being rebuilt was great, it does mean the Rimmer gets the character reset for series eight if memory serves me right.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

• Death Dodger: Kept an Ally alive for an entire combat while they took twice their max Health in damage
• Chaos Controlled: Foiled the plans of Professor Chaos
• Deep Seated Power: Obtained and equipped Artifacts to reach 600 Might
• Divine Wind: Successfully Fartkour'd to the Lofts at SoDoSoPa rooftop and back down again
• Boy Love Aficionado: Found all Yaoi art pieces
• Master Manipulator: Confused or charmed an enemy into defeating another enemy

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was the usual bit of madness as we were joined by PandaSweet, Odeu and BangBangBang for various matches. We had a good mix of wins and losses. Tonight I played as Moira, Junker Queen, Bastion, Torbjourn, Ashe, Reaper, Sombra and several others

Tomorrow night we're resuming South Park The Fractured But Whole. 

For the raid tonight we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Electric and Water bills have been paid, so now just got to put more of a credit on my Internet bill to stay ahead of that.

Did some grocery shopping today picked up all the usual stuff.

Finally got paid on the NFL story commission from last week, and now just have one outstanding.

Knocked out the NBA commission today (and got paid for it the same day, thankfully)

Next story commission is AEW related, in fact I got a couple of wrestling related stories in the upcoming queue... which is always at the end of the month or start of the month... ugh.

Good night folks!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream ran from 5 PM Eastern till about 12:30 AM, and was not planned, but I kept finding stuff to do in South Park The Fracture But Whole that seemed totally doable, as a lot of quests just flowed from one to another. I'm really digging the story between Craig and Tweak, and the customization for the player character seems to get really nutty as things go along, from super hero class, race, ethnicity and other factors. We'll continue this game on Monday's stream.

Sunday night's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on swiftsupafly who was playing The Finals 

A fair amount of snow melted today, so didn't really have to shovel much of anything, anything left over I can easily deal with on Monday.

Finished the Dragon Ball commission request and am now waiting on payment for it and the earlier NFL commission request finished earlier in the week. Am counting on those to cover groceries this week. Next commission story in progress is NBA/NCAA related and I'm thinking i'm keeping that under 2500 words since the one after it is intended to be a bit lengthy.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

• Class Warfare: Equipped powers from 2 different classes
• Titleist: Reached the highest rank on 1 title in your Character Sheet
• Call in a Favor: Used a Summon
• Diabetes Defender: Defended a helpless child from a drunk lunatic
• Big Knocker: Killed an enemy by knocking another enemy into them
• Epic Artificer: Crafted an Artifact with a Might value of 75 or more
• Character Sheet Elite: Earned the highest rank on 5 Character Sheet Titles, or 4 while having the highest Economic Level
• Stop, Drop and Roll: Won a combat by using TimeFart Pause to kill all remaining enemies at once before time resumed
• Glitch of Death: Used TimeFart Glitch to cause a status-effected enemy to lose their turn and die at turn's end

Good night folks!

Catherine Full Body and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Catherine: Full Body and ended up getting the Good Ending with Catherine, which worked out rather nicely considering Katherine deception was what caused Vincent's problems in the first damn place. Too bad I didn't know how to unlock Rin's path, but we can come back to Catherine: Full Body down the line for another attempt. 

Next Friday we're going to start Ghost of Tsushima as out next PlayStation 4 exclusive game.

Tomorrow we're back to South Park The Fractured But Whole

For the raid we dropped in on bangbangbang713 who was playing The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Catherine: Full Body Trophies

• An Oil Baron's Journey: Assist Abul in expanding his world.
• Love Story: Resolve Daniel's dilemma.
• Return of the Rockstar: Help Roderick recover his dream.
• Flowers for a Journalist: Get Justin out of his jam.
• A Young Man's Everything: Aid Archie through his quandary.
• Superior Man: Help Todd out of his trouble.
• Freedom!: Solve the mystery of the nightmares.
• Can't Get Enough: Reconcile with Catherine in the end. 

We had work today but it was in the afternoon as a last minute switch had us starting at noon to make up for all the technical problems that started on Wednesday.

We also got about six inches of snow, and I spent some time clearing my steps and the walk up to them (nearly losing my keys in the process).

Both of those ended up effecting how much time I could dedicated to writing, but I'm nearly finished a Dragon Ball related commission tomorrow.

I'm up to Series VII of Red Dwarf, reaching the point where Rimmer becomes Ace.

Good night!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight we started up South Park The Fractured But Whole, and really got into roaming around and and exploring, seeing what we could do early on, which was a fair bit. I really like the combat system as I realize I have to be a little more thoughtful of where I place my team so that no one is blocked. We'll resume it on Saturday's stream!

Friday's night's stream will feature Catherine Full Body.

For the raid, we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Hunt: Shodown

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

• Potty Trained: Used a toilet and achieved the highest mastery level
• Cosplay Curious: Wore costume pieces from 3 different sets at once
• Fashionista: Found 10 costume pieces
• #followbacks: Became mutual followers with 10 people in South Park
• Toxic Environment: Looted 100 Biohazard items
• Pasta of Prophets: Crafted a macaroni picture for Moses
• Junksmith: Crafted 10 distinct recipes

We did have work, after a shit ton of technical problems was sorted out, and I knocked out four interviews. Pretty good night.

Got a jump start on my taxes, still waiting on some forms to come in to fill it out. Hopefully we can get a refund this year.

Since I was dealing with that I only got a fair amount done in terms of the next commission request, which is Dragon Ball related, I'll be working on that during the day on Friday.

Also we're expecting more snow... and the stuff we already had just melted... fuck my life.

Good night!

Smite and other notes

Tonight we had to call an audible, as Iceman couldn't join us, but we played Smite and were joined by Striker for several matches, which was a lot of fun! Played as Terra, Athena, Nike and Bellona an d we won a couple of matches and lost a few. Had one match as Terra where I had no eliminations and no deaths, but ended up with twenty-seven assists, which was awesome.

Sea of Thieves should be back next Wednesday, but it's always up in the air.

Tomorrow night we're starting up South Park: The Fractured But Whole, which should be a lot of fun in a continuation of the South Park Saga.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal as they were playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Work got cancelled today due to technical issues with the assignment we were working on, but it should be good to go tomorrow.

Knocked out a Spider-Man related commission which ended up being nearly 4000 words, and turned out pretty decent I think. Next on the docket is another Dragon Ball commission which doesn't exactly have much going for it in terms of being interesting, as its a continuation of an earlier story involving Panchy, but we'll see what we can do with it.

Continued my Red Dwarf watch through (when I was having lunch and before the stream since I had that extra time tonight) and I totally forgot The Cat turned into Duane Dibbley a second time thanks to the Emohawk.

And on that note, good night!

Skullgirls 2nd Encore and other notes

Tonight's stream featured Skullgirls 2nd Encore, we took a brief look at the tutorial for the basic controls then did a standard arcade ladder run with Ms. Fortune and Peacock before focusing on the story mode, doing runs as Filia, Cerebella, Parasol and Fukua, the last of which involved fighting Filia on apparently the hardest difficulty in the game. Now I didn't adjust the difficulty at all, so I'm rather pleased that I was able to complete Fukua story mode, as only 5% of people who played Skullgirls 2nd Encore on Xbox consoles have done that!

Tomorrow night's stream is scheduled to feature Sea of Thieves but Iceman may not be able to join us, if he can't we might do another night of Skullgirls. Or maybe an extra night of Overwatch.

For the raid we dropped in on ay0tony who was playing Skullgirls and League of Legends

Skullgirls 2nd Encore Achievements

• A Normal Life: "Painwheel?" Must be foreign.
• Training the Next Generation: One sister's safety dooms another.
• And It's All Thanks to You: Poor Ms. Fortune.
• Me and My Shadows: Tag-team your opponent all alone.
• April Fact's Day: The joke is that she's not a joke. 

We did have work today, and got a few interviews done, a couple took way longer than expected because of trying to get respondents to answer the questions.

Now the commission requests I had slated to for today got thrown out as the I just couldn't write what was asked, which hurts, because that's money I'm not earning... but it's onward to the next one, and thanfully it is a commission request with a logical story.

I was not thrilled with having to shovel snow this morning, just glad it was only a couple of inches.

And now I'm off to bed!

 

South Park: The Stick of Truth and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up South Park The Stick of Truth and did so by getting all four achievements associated with defeating Princess Kenny, the games final boss. Needless to say it was a solid run tonight, everything from start to finish, and rather efficient. Of course a second play through would be required due missing on Chinpokemon and not getting all the possible 'friends', along with costumes and weapons, but we'll consider that for down the road.

Tuesday night we're going to mess around with Skullgirls 2nd Encore, since it's been awhile since we've featured a fighting game.. 

Thursday night we'll start up South Park: The Fractured But Whole, though I'm considering waiting till Saturday for that.

For the raid we went over to intergalacticpants who was playing God of War: Ragnarok

South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements

• Pulling Mud: In three separate battles, you've taken a shit in your pants
• Inside Joke: While inside Mr. Slave, you summoned Mr. Slave
• Two Girls, One Stick: You defeated Princess Kenny in your girl makeover disguise
• Face Hoff: You defeated Princess Kenny while looking like David Hasselhoff
• Outpatient: You defeated Princess Kenny while living with Dire AIDS
• Stick Savior: You defeated Princess Kenny and recovered the Stick of Truth
• Dog Whistle: You've farted on a dog while in gnome form 

We had work today, only got two interviews, but hey we had work and that's a good thing!

It's snowing and I'm dreading having to shovel, though I don't have to step out and I'm not expecting any deliveries.

Finished the NFL related commission and started work on a Spider-Man related commission request which is probably going to go over like a fart in church with how I'm not really feeling the combination of characters I have to use.

Anyway, time for bed!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was interesting with the 'Quicker Play' gimmick and one thing I can say about that gimmick is that it exposes everyone who doesn't know how to fight on the objective & payload. Seriously, people who try to hang back and build their ultimates from a distance end up losing because of how fast things were adjusted. Granted no one will learn from it, but I can say we won more than we lost by a wide margin. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the action.

Tomorrow night we look to finish South Park The Stick of Truth. We could go straight forward to finishing it or try and find a few extra side quests.

 For the raid we went over to the channel for Mystery Science Theater 3000 

Finished the Dragon Ball story commission this morning, and it was a struggle to knock out, and started work on an NFL related commission, which is about 30% finished based on the outline I was given. I will be working on it tomorrow during the day.

Taking time to sit down and watch episodes of Red Dwarf when I have lunch certain brightens the day a bit.

Good night folks!

South Park The Stick Of Truth and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park  The Stick Of  Truth saw a lot of things done in terms of side quests and achievements as we progressed the story to where the girls are recruited to help out in the final epic battle of the game. Near as I can tell just about every side quest is done, there might be a couple of ones that open up late game, but I think it's basically a straight run to wrap up the main story.

Anyway, South Park The Stick of Truth Returns on Monday's stream.

Sunday night's stream will feature Overwatch

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements

• Irritable Bowels: You shat your pants during a boss battle
• You bastards!: You've let Kenny die in combat 10 times over the course of the game

• Perverted: You watched your parents have sex for 60 seconds
• Just Saying Hi: You've farted on every buddy in the game

• Truth to Power: You farted on four major authority figures
• Friends in Strange Places: You befriended both crab people and gnomes

 Added a Funko Pop of Fonzie from Happy Days to the wall

The commission request based on Dragon Ball is proving to be a pain in the ass because it's way too many characters for a budget fic. Going to get it somewhere over 2000 words and send it off as one of the worst fics I've written. I'll be working on it tomorrow to get it out of the way.

Waiting for a few bills to come in to get those paid off, granted I know what the amounts will be, just like having the paper record in some cases.

And on that note good night!

Catherine: Full Body and other notes

Tonight's stream of Catherine Full Body ran five hours because I got hung up on a couple of puzzles and thought thought I was on the path for one of Rin's endings, but turns out I did something wrong along the way. Still we cleared the seventh night so next time we play the game we should be able to finish it with possibly getting a good or bad ending for Catherine.

Tomorrow night we're back to South Park The Stick Of Truth, with one thing on the agenda being going back to the sewers to find the last homeless battle

For the raid we dropped in on zophisthe4th who was also playing Catherine Full Body

Catherine: Full Body Trophies

• Slippin' Slidin': Slide across five or more ice blocks, not including the one you start on. (Golden Playhouse only)
• The Cheeky Lamb: Peek into the confessional from outside.
• Life of the Party: Change your mind after heading toward the bar's exit.
• Indomitable Will: Attempt to move an immovable block twice in a row. (Golden Playhouse only)
• On to the Next: Survive a horrifying nightmare.
• No Time to be Dead: Select Retry after a Game Over. (Golden Playhouse only)

Knocked out the massive Fairy Tail related commission and picked up $50 for it, and used some of that to get dinner from Blowin' Smoque. 

Next commission story on the agenda is Dragon Ball related, that I'll use some creative back and forth to get it done considering I'm not to keen on the requested amount of characters to involve.

Need to remember to get milk... though I can probably just go ahead and have bagels and eggs this week.

Good night folks!

South Park The Stick Of Truth And Other Notes

Tonight's stream had a bit of an hour late start due to the power being knocked out. Once we were able to get started we knocked out various side quests and things in South Park The Stick of Truth such as finding the last of the hide and seekers, placing the trackers for Al Gore, crashing the UFO and general tomfoolery. We'll resume South Park The Stick of Truth on Saturday's stream

Friday's stream will feature Catherine Full Body

For the raid we dropped in on itsfernsturn who was also playing South Park The Stick of Truth!

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Antipode: Hit 6 targets simultaneously with Moira's Coalescence in Quick or Competitive Play.

Currently working on a commission request based on the anime Fairy Tail, the closer I can get it to 6000 words the better, currently its at 3100 words, so another day of writing should get it there, even if I add in various bits to pad it out.

Good night folks!

 

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves was a blast as Iceman and Striker were apart of the chaos as we engaged in sea battles with A.I. controlled ships, in addition to starting the Pirates of the Caribbean story content which featured a twenty minute long fight against the Flying Dutchman. All together it was a blast to play!

Sea of Thieves will return next Wednesday. 

Tomorrow night I'm back to South Park The Stick of Truth as we begin the second day of the game.

For the raid we dropped in on maximilian_dood during their stream of Tekken 5

Sea of Thieves Achievements

• A Pirate's Life: You completed 'A Pirate's Life'.
• Five a Day: You've eaten at least one piece of every kind of fruit.
• Well Done!: You burned a piece of food. 

Knocked out two stories today, one a commission request focused on Mass Effect, and the other was a SubscribeStar commission tier subscription request involving Superman.

Now the next commission request is based on the anime / manga Fairy Tail, which I know nothing about, but was requested to be written as an alternate universe story, so I pretty much can establish the personalities.

I have gotten into the routine of going up to the living room to watch Red Dwarf as I make lunch / dinner. Something minor, but it means I'm making use of the Amazon Fire Stick that I moved upstairs.

Good night!

South Park The Stick of Truth and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park The Stick of Truth saw us knocking out several achievements in addition to finishing the first 'day' of the game, which meant dealing with several several long stretches of battles. Two of the achievements involved having to wear specific items which helped I knew about in advance. I could have sworn there was one for letting Jimmy finish his stuttering but I could be wrong.

Tomorrow night Sea of Thieves is on the agenda at around 9:30 PM Eastern

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Cyberpunk 2077

South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements

• Heisenberg: You defeated the Meth Tweekers while wearing the Evil Cartman goatee and bald cap

• Canadian Handshake: You've farted on people 100 times.

We had work this evening, but it was a bit haphazard for me as I wasn't feeling to well.

Currently working on a Mass Effect story commission which I'll finish in the morning, it's about 75% finish. After it I have 13 stories in the commission queue

I would have had it finished today but mail was I expected Thursday arrived two days early.

And now I'm off to bed!

 

 

South Park The Stick of Truth and other notes

Tonight we started up South Park The Stick of  Truth, and mostly roamed around once we got the tutorial out of the way, getting into battles, finding items and such, picking up 5 achievements on the evening.

We'll continue South Park the Stick of Truth on tomorrow's stream

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Dead by Daylight

South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements

• Are We Cool?: You found Jesus while playing as a Jew
• Poco Chinpoko: You collected 5 Chinpokomon
• Skilled Defender: Over the course of the game, you've blocked 100 attacks
• Shutout: You successfully blocked every enemy attack in a single (non-tutorial) battle
• Weapon Proficiency: Over the course of the game, you've scored 100 perfect attacks

 We had work tonight, but the start time was 6 PM Eastern and ran till 9:30 PM, which meant we had to jump from work to the stream.

Also was up since 4 AM because of making sure I received the deliveries that were scheduled for today. I know I have to pay attention for deliveries for today. Thankfully Amazon was able to ship replacements for the things that were stolen a few days ago.

Knocked out a Resident Evil story commission this morning and started up on a Mass Effect commission request, which I'll work on tomorrow.

Also watched a few episodes of Red Dwarf because... why not?

Good night!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was solid, picked up a lot of play of the games as Reinhardt, Echo, Mauga and Junker Queen, in addition to playing as D.va, Orissa, Moira, Brigitte, and others. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of a lot of the fun tonight.

Tomorrow' s stream with feature South Park The Stick of Truth

I did consider maybe dedicating this week to playing Skullgirls, but it's achievements list is rather stiff and not exactly highlight worthy I feel. But we will do one night focused on it.

For the raid we dropped in on intergalacticpants who was playing Mass Effect Andromeda

Finished the NFL related commission story this morning, and since it had a tie in with the Bengals winning later in the afternoon, I like to think I jinxed the Browns.

Next commission story is a short one based on the Resident Evil franchise, I got it partially started to work on tomorrow but since I'll be distracted waiting for deliveries, I'm going to be shocked if I get it finished.

Experiment with doing some shrimp in the Air Fryer, which turned out pretty solid. Really do love how hot dogs turn out as well.

On that note, good night!

Stray Gods The Role-Playing Musical And Other Notes

Today got off to a bad start as packages were stolen from my doorstep this morning, and I know this to be true because came at the same time 11:40 AM (from the United States Postal Service) and 11:46 AM (from Amazon) with package ID tracking. I was in the shower at that point, when I got out and saw the delivery confirmation, I went to get m y packages and nothing was there! Amazon provides photos as proof, and since they were the second delivery is showed the earlier delivery items weren't there. So to the piece of shit who stole 4 packages this morning, fuck you!

This is worrisome for me as I'm expecting a deliveries this week. Maybe I should get a cheap laptop to work on the commission stories upstairs to prevent this from happening again.

Anyway, tonight's stream of Stray Gods; The Roleplaying Musical was a lot of fun, loved the artwork and the music. Not much in terms of gameplay beyond making choices and navigating the dialog trees, but its a very well written game that is geared towards multiple playthroughs. I figure we can go to this game whenever we need something for a Saturday in order to try and get the achievements related to making different choices.

Not sure what game we'll feature on Monday, but I'll figure something out

Tomorrow's stream will featuring Overwatch

For tonight's raid we dropped in on Kalenal to watch them playing Final Fantasy XIV

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

• End Of The Road: Inherited the legacy of the Last Muse.
• My Time To Shine: You can handle this on your own.
• God Of The Sun: Remained at Apollo’s side.
• The Deep End: Finished Act One.
• All The Help You Need: Broke the cycle of rebirth and convinced Aphrodite to live.
• Like Heroes Before You: Channelled your inner Perseus and defeated the Gorgon.
• Meant To Be: Love blossomed in the unlikeliest of places.
• Across The Styx: Finished Act Two.
• This Hell Is Mine: You decided to take the throne for yourself.
• The Ultimate Sacrifice: You just couldn’t let her go.
• Talk To The Hand: They had it coming.
• The Muse's Encore: Finished Act Three.
• Against All Odds: You survived against all odds.
• Brave On Time: Returned Freddie’s feelings.
• Fiery: When push comes to shove, you shove back. 

 Because of the fiasco with the missing deliveries I didn't get all the writing I wanted done today, but I'm in the middle of writing an NFL related story commission which now probably won't be done until Monday.

Really that's all the notes I have for tonight.

 

Catherine: Full Body and other notes

Tonight's stream of Catherine: Full Body saw us clearing the first four floors (we made it past the first baby chase on the fourth floor), and I'm enjoying how the expanded story with Rin flushes a lot of things out. On this play through I'm trying not to align to heavily with Katherine, with the worst case scenario being to go with Catherine if I can't figure out how to end up with Rin. We'll be continuing it on next Friday's stream.

Tomorrow's stream will feature Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical

For tonight's raid, we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Dead By Daylight

Catherine: Full Body Trophies

• And So It Begins...: Survive the first nightmare.
• Use It or Lose It: Use an item for the first time. (Golden Playhouse only)
• Let's Try That Again: Use an UNDO. (Golden Playhouse only)
• Squeaky Clean: Wash your face in the bar's bathroom.
• Don't Drink Too Much, Okay?: Order another glass of alcohol.
• Tonight's Song Is...: Play a song on the bar's jukebox.
• Budding Shopper: Purchase an item for the first time. 

Another day with no work, but I got paid for for the last two weeks of December so I was able to load up on groceries and get one of the quarterly bills paid. 

On the story front, finished a Spider-Man commission request, and am now working on an NFL related one, which may take until Sunday to finish based on the outline I was given.

Finally made up my mind in bringing down a case of water to keep in the basement. 

We're partially expecting snow tomorrow, hopefully we get none of it in my area!

Good night!

Persona 5 Tactica

We wrapped up the New Game Plus run of Persona 5 Tactica this evening, with the stream running five hours, and if I didn't waste time on one of the side quest it would've taken only four. Still we got the final achievement and we technically can put  P5T to rest... put there is the Repaint Your Heart DLC story, that might be worth doing later in the year. There are no achievements associated with it, so I'm not completely incline to play it, especially since it features Akechi.

Tomorrow night we're starting up Catherine Full Body on the PS4.

For the raid we dropped in on Flint_Locke who was playing Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, which is a game we're starting on Saturday

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Collection of Knowledge: Filled all entries in Persona Compendium. 

Another day without work, but I'm told we should have something next week, so fingers crossed... this means I have to really focus any stories where its a cent per word to get $40+ per story. 

But the commission story in progress is a basic one based on Spider-Man, it's nearly about 20% done already, would've had more done but I rested a good part of the day to shake off a cold that was coming on.

Good night folks!

Sea of Thieves and o ther notes

Tonight's stream saw us playing Sea of Thieves for the first time since 2018, and we were joined by Iceman and Striker for the adventures. Took awhile to remember how to play it, but once we got our sea legs, things went pretty smoothly, with the exception of not realizing how and when to raise the sails when closing in on an island! Also picked up my first achievements of the year!

Sea of Thieves will be our co-op game on Wednesdays for a good while.

Tomorrow night we return to Persona 5 Tactica and the blitz towards getting the final achievement in that game.

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama as Cecilia Littlewing was hosting a stream of old cartoons!

Sea of Thieves Achievements

• What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor?: You vomited for the first time.
• Not So Well Done: You became sick from undercooked food.
• Dining With the Stars: You cooked a piece of food on a campfire at night. 

No work again today, and there is the question of if even unemployment will be an option because of how screwy the first half of 2023 was. Granted I'm a better spot financially than I was a year ago at this time.

Finished the Spider-Man story commission and it turned out rather well linking Danika Hart with Screwball in the continuity of stories. Currently in the middle of writing a WWE related commission story that is turning into a bit of slog to write. 

We had a package arrive with three new Funko Pops for the wall, they are of Allen Iverson (Philadelphia 76ers) , Bobby Clarke (Philadelphia Flyers) and Batgirl (from Gotham Knights). I would like to add at least two full rows 

And on that note, good night!

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

Tonight's grind towards the final achievement of Persona 5 Tactica saw us clear through the second kingdom and fuse Magatsu-Izanagi, Athena, Tsukiyomi and Asterius, which leaves only three Personas left to fuse. The first of the remaining three requires being at level 63, but the final two require to be at levels 90 and 91, so some grinding might be in order, even with all the level boosting I have. 

With luck we'll be able to knock out the rest of this speedy playthrough between Thursday and Saturday's streams.

Tomorrow's stream is slated to feature Sea of Thieves with Iceman!

Big thanks to AnnieTalksShow for the raid!

For our raid we dropped in on psudonym who was playing Cyberpunk 2077!

There was no work today, even though we were told there would be work... and so it begins.

Picked up all three Daria related Funkos (Daria, Jane and Jodie), plus Linka from Captain Planet, and the giant Lilith from Diablo IV.

Finished the Dragon Ball related story commission, and currently in the middle of writing a Spider-Man related one, which combined with the last two stories I did would help cover for the lack of work.

Good night folks!

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

A new year begins with a New Game Plus run of Persona 5 Tactica, and this play through we're pretty much focused on leveling up as quickly as we can chase down the remaining Personas to fill out the compendium in order to get the last achievement. We're at 96% on that, and with luck we'll be able to tear through the story battles and level up rapidly. Thankfully I do have some high-end Personas that grant an XP Boost which should make things quicker.

We'll continue this all out blitz on Tuesday's stream.

For the raid we went over to SweetLindir who was playing Hunt: Showdown.

With the day off, I mostly recovered from last night's New Year's Eve stream. I forgot how exhausting Overwatch can be if played for more than 5 hours.

Did knock out a major story commission based on the NFL, and next up is a Dragon Ball related commission involving Trunks. Had to do a lot of research in regards to the math to figure out character ages.

Hopefully we'll have work tomorrow!

Good night folks!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch ran over eight hours, starting at 5 PM and ending after 1 AM, so that we could celebrate New Years with PandaSweet who is an hour behind (and as always big thanks to Panda for being apart of the stream!). So there were a lot of wins and losses over that span. Played as Junker Queen, Cassidy, Moira, Brigitte, D.va and numerous other characters. Also managed to pick up Ashe's second character achievement so that is the final one earned for 2023. 

Tomorrow night we're kicking things off with 2024 with the New Game Plus run of Persona 5 Tactica, cut scenes and such will be skipped over as we'll be looking to level up as quickly as possible. Not sure exactly when we'll start, I'm thinking early evening.

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Served Up: Get a killing blow as Ashe on an enemy knocked into the air by B.O.B. in Quick or Competitive Play.

For the raid we went over to bangbangbang713 to watch them play The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me 

Had to take a trip to the bank today to make a deposit, which involved taking a bus there and then walking back home behind because the return bus wouldn't come for another two hours. Thankfully it was not snowing or raining and there was no traffic, so it was like direct one mile walk back.

Got two thirds of a commission story written based on the NFL in the late 90s, just have one more scene to write which I'll be working on when I wake up.

Two new Funkos added to the collection Slimer from Ghostbusters and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Good night folks and happy new year!
