Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight we covered two major story arcs in Grandia, one getting the steamer pass and second dealing with the Ghost Ship, which means we had the big moment were Justin tried to ditch Sue and meeting Feena. We left off after arriving in New Parm and meeting the goof that runs the Adventurer's Society. Next time we play Grandia it will be to get to Feena's house and basically rescue her from her forced wedding, which should be a lot of fun.

Also made sure to get the best possible gear because I remember the road to Feena's home being a pain to get through!

Grandia will return on Thursday

Tomorrow night we are playing Smite, holding off on Sea of Thieves this week

For the raid we dropped in on  samaell_alwahm who was playing Zenless Zone Zero

Work was okay-ish, good, but not great

Still waiting on the updated taxes due on my house to be posted, apparently there has been a delay in the city's tax office

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Playing Grandia again is always awesome, and at the very least, being familiar with the game allows me to show off a little in terms of going after every enemy as I see them in order to try to level up quickly as well as master abilities, since in Grandia, the more you use an ability the faster it will be executed in later battles. Really love the dynamic with Justin and Sue.

We basically knocked out all the introduction and opening set up, went the Sult Ruins, met Liete and set the tone. I was feeling a little worn down so we ended the stream a bit early.

We shall continue Grandia tomorrow night with the next objective being to get the Steamer Pass

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

Work was alright, solid but not overly awesome

Watching Stargate SG-1 season 9 and I can't but laught at how the Ori are basically being presented as the Catholic Church

Finished the WWE commission in one shot today, next story is Kingdom Hearts related which might take two days to write depending on when I wake up

  • Besties: Sue has joined party.
  • Icarian Energy Item: Acquire the Spirit Stone.
  • Charge!: Win your first battle.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We had a fun night of Overwatch 2 this evening, with PandaSweet joining for the majority of the night. Ended up getting the second of Ramatra's character related achievements and we had a stretch where we won nine matches in a row. We also figured out exactly how is Blizzard turning a profit with that Reinhardt weapon skin, and it comes down to the price point for Prisms which are needed to unlock all the skin's features.

Also worked in a bit of singing with two redentions of Tongue Tied from Red Dwarf  as well as the full version of the Three Amigos Ballad

Overwatch 2 returns next Sunday

Tomorrow's stream will feature Grandia

For the raid we dropped in on intergalacticpants who was playing After Us

Had the worst kale greens I have ever had today... still can't get the taste out of my mouth

Finished the Pokemon commission and next up is a WWE related one, which is actually slated for August, so I am ahead of schedule

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Any Means: Eliminate 3 enemies in a single use of Ramattra's Annihilation.

Saturday, July 27, 2024

RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and other notes

The big objective for tonight's stream was to do the entire campaign of RWBY Grimm Eclipse as Weiss Schnee and thanking we were able to do so, which was possible because we had Weiss at level 10 with a complete skill set already in place. The only time we had trouble was the very end with the Giant Scorpian and the various androids that keep spawning. Now the question will be when will I do runs as members of team JNPR.

We took a look at RWBY Arrowfell, which is a side-scrolling RPG where you can swap between all four members of the team. We knocked out the first chapter and I think we will add the game to the tour list, but we'll start it over when we finally dedicate time to it. Probably after we play Grandia (which we will start on Monday)

We messed around with RetroMania Wrestling completing the 10 Pounds of Gold as James Storm and getting an achievement as Stevie Richards. It appears the update from earlier this year added a bunch of achievements that are certainly do-able

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Zenless Zone Zero 

Finished the My Hero Academia Story commission request, next up is a Pokemon commission story for the last one scheduled for July.

Did some yard work today, ended up going through three things of weed trimmer.... ugh

  • Ticking Time Bomb: Completed Mountain Glenn Part 2 with 3:00 minutes or more left on the clock.
  • Weiss Schnee: Complete the campaign using Weiss


RWBY: Arrowfell Achievements

  • The Mysterious Orb: Complete Chapter 1.


RetroMania Wrestling Achievements

  • Whipped Into Shape: Win a match as Stevie Richards in the SRF Arena


 

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

So we saw some plot advancment in God Eater tonight, with Lidlow apparently getting killed and meeting Alisa who apparently has some serious mental issues. We did get up to the third tier level of missions =, so things are getting harder, as proven with the Urgent Mission that appeared which featured four mid-size enemies which exhausted all of my supplies. Think I might focus more on the story aspect of the game going forward

God Eater Resurrection will return next Friday night

Tomorrow's stream will featuring RWBY: Grimm Eclipse to do a full Weiss run

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was playing ToeJam & Earl

Lost internet service from 3:30 PM to around 7 PM, so lost work this evening. This also placed tonight's stream in doubt as well.

Finished the Arrow commission, and got started on the next one which is focused on My Hero Academia, which should be finished tomorrow during the day

God Eater: Resurrection Trophies

  • New Gear: Craft non-clothing equipment for the first time.
  • Camaraderie: Teach an ally a new ability.

Friday, July 26, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we finished Marvel's Midnight Suns with 70 of the 72 achievements unlocked (the last two involve reaching maximum dark side balance and getting the other 71 achievements). I'm at 105 lightside, so I figure pop in doing a mission or two daily and using dark powers will help progress that over.

As far as the ending and final boss battles go, it was incredible and very good payoff, with The Hunter getting a Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 3 / Makoto Yuki in Persona 3 style ending where they end up basically dead / sealed away. But Midnight Suns does tease a sequel involving Doctor Doom which I feel would be awesome.

Would I do a New Game Plus Run? Well that depends on if I want to grind out a huge portion of the game again and take full advantage of the conversations to push towards dark side even faster.

My commentary video for Midnight Suns will be on YouTube on August 9th

Anyway, RWBY Grimm Eclipse will be featured on Saturday's stream and on Monday Grandia will take over as our main game.

Tomorrow night we're playing God Eater Ressurection

For the raid we dropped in on abenonymous who was playing Marvel's Spider-Man 

Work was a lot better than it was last night by a wide margin

Nearly finished the Arrow commission, just needs an epilogue to close it out

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Extracurricular Activities: Attended all Abbey Club meetings in a single campaign.
  • Family is Forever: Completed the Transia story missions.

Thursday, July 25, 2024

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Iceman and I had our fair share of misadventures, with our ship getting sunk twice, having to use a row boat to get loot back to an outpost,  finding the Dutchess bountyand battling other vessels. It was rather hilarious to a large degree at times, as is expected with Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves is slated for next Wednesday

Our next stream will feature Marvel's Midnight Suns and we got to hope the abbey clubs start happening to wrap those up

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream

Work was a complete drag, over 400 contacts made with only 1 complete to show for it

Finished the Persona 3 Commission request, hopefully the client pays for it without me having to send repeated notices. Next story is a quick Arrow one 

Long term planning, considering a couple of nights dedicated to RWBY Grimm Eclipse for achievement hunting, YouTube Commentary and streaming purposes

Wednesday, July 24, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we banged out four achievements in Marvel's Midnight Suns and we rescued The Hulk as well as saw a huge a lot of character development.We are actually in the home stretch, we have one more major story mission, but we got to delay doing it to get a couple of achievements before the credits roll 

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday

Tomorrow we have either Sea of Thieves or Smite on the agenda

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Dead By Daylight

Work was solid if a little dry

About 75% finished the Persona 3 related story commission, probably will get $30 to $40 for it 

Comet seems to air Buffy the Vampire Slayer in episode order... but today for whatever reason there was a mix-match of episodes focused on Cordellia

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Cape of Many Colors: Applied a Suit palette to every Hero in a single campaign.
  • Spread the Pain: Completed a Daily Sparring session with every hero.

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we completed all the DLC by working on the friendship bonds with Venom and Morbius in order to get their challenge missions. Venom's was bugged and I had to search for an alternate solution, which lead to the stream lasting longer than I planned.

We also advanced the plot to where Agatha is now a force ghost everyone can see, but the sheer stupidity of Caretaker has reached its breaking point with me. At this point, we need the Hulk in order to get the pretty all but one achievement.

 We shall continue Marvel Midnight Suns tomorrow as we'll focus on advancing the plot

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

Work was solid today, as the change from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris as the Presidential Nominee has invigorated a lot of people

Finished the NHL commission fic and started work on a Persona 3 related story

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Lethal Protector: Complete Venom's Midnight Sun Challenge mission.
  • Bond of Blood: Complete Morbius' Midnight Sun Challenge mission.

Sunday, July 21, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's Overwatch 2 stream saw me playing a variety characters and getting really annoyed with alot of the randoms. Probably the big highlight was the one match I played as Juno, the new character which will be formally added to the roster next month. Juno has a unique kit which reminds me of Freya over in Paladins.

We also played some Smite and we also ran into a serious of idiots as well, including a number of AFKers, one was away so long that the SMITE auto-mods picked up on it.  

Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun

 Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday

Tomorrow Marvel Midnight Suns is on the agenda

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

NHL story commission is about 50% complete will be working on that the rest of the night

Recorded two episodes of the Daria reactions for next week,

Saturday, July 20, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we got a lot done in Midnight Suns, completing the DLC achievements for Deadpool and Storm while also setting up grinding for the ones related to Morbius and Venom. We also advanced the plot to where Hulk becomes Demon Hulk and also dropping a mountain on him. Also realized that with the exception of going completely dark side I will be able to earn every other achievement in the game.

Midnight Suns will return on Monday with the goal of pushing for Morbius's Challenge

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch 2 and maybe some Smite since I have a couple of the weekly challenges done

For tonight's raid we dropped in on thereal_slim_katie who was playing Elden Ring

Finished the DC Comics commission request and started work on a NHL related one

SubscribeStar seems to have some issues with people giving one time tips, which really sucks. 

Going to record two episodes of the Daria reactions for the next week

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Big Mad: Completed the Southwest story missions.
  • Big Guns: Used 3 different Legendary hero abilities in a single mission.
  • That Special Feeling: Complete Deadpool's Midnight Sun Challenge mission.
  • Blessings of the Goddess: Complete Storm's Midnight Sun Challenge mission.

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

So we started up God Eater Resurrection tonight and it's the 2nd consecutive Bandai Namco game we've played that was originally on the PlayStation Vita. Rather impressed that it has full English localization, and all the character models look good... however the bare bones tutorial left a lot to be desired as I'll need to look up the full details of how something work.

I do feel more capable with the blade weapoing after trying a few, and we knocked out about two dozen missions. The game play does flow pretty quick and one could go from mission to mission with out much delay which is pretty cool.

God Eater Resurrection returns next Friday night

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm  who is playing Overwatch 2

Work was solid despite a rough start

It's 71 degrees right now... and that's awesome!

Got a good chunk of the DC Comics Supergirl /  Red Hood Story done, it's probably about 50% complete

Friday, July 19, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We advanced the plot a good deal, with the parchment of power now in Robbie, seeing that it was Mephisto who took Magik and that everyone had nightmares about the Hunter. No achievements unlocked, but progress on two achievements appears to be glitched.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Saturday

Tomorrow night we're starting up God Eater Resurrection 

For the raid we dropped in on Calyria who was playing Dragon Age Inquisition

Work was solid except for one bitch whose ego was beyond belief 

Finished the Resident Evil commission, now waiting to be paid for it. Though the client has not responded to status update emails.

Started the next commission project which involves Supergirl and Red Hood in a DC Universe story inspired by Dead in the Family

Thursday, July 18, 2024

Sea of Thieves and other notes

 Iceman and I had a real wild night of Sea of Thieves with a lot of loot found, combat and general hilarity. We came close to sinking an enemy vessel but we both boarded it but it's all good.

Also had a new dedicated headset for when doing voice chat on the XBox Consoles, and the real issue I have is balancing the audio mix on the console. 

Sea of Thieves is slated to return next Wednesday

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama

Was expecting THunderstorms but I guess it just missed my area

Work was super solid this evening, as I was over production.

The Resident Evil commission is still in progress, it probably will be finished by Friday as I was given a cap of 10,000 words.

 

Wednesday, July 17, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We advance the plot quite a bit, seeing that Johnny Blaze has the missing page, we got the Darkchyld armor and rescued Wanda. Plus picked up the last of Storm's not Challenge Missions achievements. Rest of the way I'm probably going to be making sure to include Storm, Venom, Deadpool and Morbius to get their friendship levels up so their challenge missions can be knocked, since there are achievements associated with them.

Also need to make sure when Spider-Man, Magik or Captain Marvel are leading side missions to try spread things out to ensure another achievement is done.  

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday

Tomorrow's stream will feature Sea of Thieves or Smite, depending on Iceman's availability 

For the raid we dropped in on MST3K during the airing of Last of the Wild Horses

Work was really good, but I felt my voice starting to wain a bit late in the shift

The heat today really made it tough to write as I only got part of what I wanted done for this Resident Evil story done... tomorrow should be a better day

Picked up volume 12 of the Persona 5 Manga

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Shocking Development: Stun 4 enemies with Storm abilities in a single turn.

Tuesday, July 16, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We got fair bit done in Midnight Suns tonight, advancing the plot a bi while knocking out various achievements, and we offically broke past the 1000 gamer score thanks to doing the DLC content. Also hit max friendship with Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. Wolverine being apart of the crew is a cool addition.

Still having trouble figuring out how to do Storm's stun for enemies with abilities in a single turn.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return tomorrow

For the raid we dropped in on  tokushoutsu to watch some Kamen Rider

Work was so good we ended early case we closed the assignment

It's 83 degrees right now which means it will be torture trying to fall asleep

The Camden County Munipal Ultities Authority jacked up its rates and I'm not happy about that

Knocked out the Spider-Man commission request in one day, and the results were... mixed I feel. Next up is a large scale Resident Evil story that will take a few days to write. 

Spoke with Kristi this morning, it was great chatting with her

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Kitchen Sink: Used 5 environmentals in a single turn.
  • Time to Make the Chimichangas!: Reach maximum En Fuego with Deadpool.

Sunday, July 14, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of tonight's fun in Overwatch, even if we dealt with some of the dumbest people possible at times. Finally got the Focused achievement as Echo, which does make it two weeks in a row I have an achievement in the game as someone I normally don't play as. Other characters used with Brigitte, Tracer, Reaper, D.va, Reinhart, Moira among others. 

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday, and we might try to actually put in Smite depending on if I knock out some some of next week's challenges before hand.

Tomorrow night we're back to Marvel's Midnight Sun

For the raid we dropped in on  samaell_alwahm who was playing Zenless Zone Zero

Worked on trimming branches this morning before it started raining... but the aftermath of the rain is that things are super humid.

Knocked out the AEW commission request and next up is a fairly long Spider-Man one that involves a few different short scenes. Going to start on that before I go to sleep

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Focused: Earn 2 killing blows with a single use of Echo’s Focusing Beam in Quick or Competitive Play.

Saturday, July 13, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream of Marvel's Midnight Suns saw us wrap up the DLC story content which involved Slaying Dracula. Actually had to do the final fight twice because I got overwhelmed in the first attempted and had some bad draws. We continued the main plot which included having Wolverine join and the Hunter being cemented as the official leader to put an end to all the squabbles.

Midnight Suns will return on Monday's stream.

Tomorrow night we'll be opening things with Overwatch 2, with a possibility of Smite

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

I saw the footage of the so-called 'assassination attempt' on Donald Trump, that was obviously staged because no one after getting shot is going to start screaming to 'fight'.  

Got a good chunk of the AEW story commission written, will be working on this after this is posted.

You know what's weird? There are a couple of Popeye shorts where he and Bluto are almost friendly towards each other until Olive Oyl shows up.

  • Blood Storm: Complete all Storm story missions.

J-Stars Victory Vs and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up the pretty much everything doable in J-Stars Victory Vs on a single dedicated play-through without feeling burnt out. Rather disappointed there was not a proper end game boss to fight, instead its a fight against a duplicate of our story mode main characters. Still we had a good time with it, 

I kind of wished I looked into the Customize trophy weeks ago because I suspect I could have had more of advantage, but oh well. We'll revisit J-Stars Victory Vs down the road, as I do feel I can bang out the remaining trophies over time, which includes 3 additional campaigns, defeating 10 Korrin tower opponents and Completing Victory Road.

Starting next Friday God Eater Resurrection will be featured as out PS4 game

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on TheReal_Slim_Katie who was playing Elden Ring

Work was a slog, only one interview... could've had two, but the person bailed on me with two questions left...

Finished the Star Wars commission story, came up less than 4000 words, but I finally got a Twitch Payout, so that's an extra bit I was not counting on. Next on my commission list is an AEW story

J-STARS Victory VS+ Trophies

  • Unto the Final Battle: Upgrade your Jump Ship to its final form in J-Adventure mode.
  • Ruler of the World: Clear 1 story arc in J-Adventure mode.

Friday, July 12, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

 We got a lot done as it relates to DLC in Marvel's Midnight Suns, completing Morbius and Venom's story, encountered Dracula and got a step closer to finishing Storms. As a side adventure it doesn't derail too much from the main story of the game, and serves as a nice way to have the addition DLC characters fit in. Also we got a lot of a achievements and are making good progress to make sure we'll be able to do damn near everything!

 Marvel Midnight Suns will return on Saturday

 Tomorrow night we're playing J-Stars Victory Vs

 For the raid we dropped in on abenonymous who was playing Need for Speed

Took something to ease the pain in my ankle and it KO'ed me, ended up starting work a half hour late...

Work itself was solid, and I was able to make up for it.

Got a large portion of the Star Wars commission done, just not as much as I would have liked, but I knew this story would take more than a standard amount of time 

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Did We Just Become Best Friends?: Reached the maximum Friendship Level with any hero.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea Of Thieves saw Iceman and I finding a ton of Bounty Skulls thanks to the various circumstances, including our first run in with Gold, Shadow and Leaf Skeletons, all of which have weaknesses that have to be accounted for..

Sea of Thieves is slated to be featured next Wednesday

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their weekly ZoneOut stream

I must have taken a bad step, as my left foot feels hot and sore similar to when I sprained my ankle last year 

Work was solid tonight, but it was the third different assignment I've been on in three days

Started work on the Star Wars commission, and got the intro and set up written.... so I can work on the first action scene tomorrow

Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we extended the stream of Marvel Midnight Suns because I was trying to find the last one of the plants I needed to that collection related achievement... sadly RNG is a factor even with a guide knowing where stuff will spawn. Need to make sure to go hunting on the Waxing Moon next time in game.

Otherwise we advanced the plot the Sanctum Santorum has been destroyed, but we were able to finally start the Venom DLC, which means the sub-story involving the DLC characters can progress forward. Mephisto being a factor is kind of cute.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday's stream.

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Hunt Showdown

Work was solid, the assignment was not as good as last night however

Finished the Persona 3 story, next up is a large Star Wars one, hopefully I can pad it out to make up for lost work from last week 

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • KKRRAKATHOOM: Spent 10 Heroism with a single ability.
  • A Light Extinguished: Completed the New York story missions.
  • Never Been Satisfied: Completely spend and then refill Venom's Ravenous meter in a single encounter.

Tuesday, July 9, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We actually got a lot done in marvel's Midnight Suns this evening as we spent a lot of time in the Abbey to get the final words of Power, learn what really happened with Lilith and unlocking every Hunter ability. We were very through, and at this point we have over 50% of the achievement unlocked.

One achievement that might be a pain in the ass is one for collecting ten of every type of plant, as I need six of one particular type which only spawns on certain nights.

Still next time we play we're going to liberate the Sanctum Santorum to complete Act 1. 

We'll be continuing Marvel Midnight Suns tomorrow night

For the raid we dropped in on moonlitsoju who was playing Persona 4 Golden

We had work and it was solid, a little hospital research study in New York.

Finished the Spider-Man commission request, since it was a mini story, next up is a Persona one 

I am so done with this heat wave....

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We had a fun night of Overwatch 2, knocking out the three weekly challenges, and shockingly got the 2nd of Doomfists related achievements, over a year and  three months from when I unlocked the first tone.

We also played some Smite this evening, six matches three as a Egyptian gods and three as Roman gods, going three and three..

Big thanks to PandaSweet and Striker for being apart of the fun this evening!

Overwatch 2 with the possibly of Smite will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night Marvel's Midnight Suns will be featured

For the raid we dropped in on IntergalaticPants who was playing Marvel's Guardians the Galaxy

Loaded up on groceries, mostly salads and stuff

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Cratered: Hit 4 enemies with a single use of Doomfist's Meteor Strike in Quick or Competitive Play.

Saturday, July 6, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We got a  lot done in Marvel Midnight Suns, several two DLC achievements as well as main game achievements, plus advancing the plot to where we dropped a church bell on Venom. We have to be closing in on Act 1!

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Sunday's stream

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch and the possiibility of Smite, depending on when we knock out weekly challenges

For the raid we drooped in on Samaell_alwahm who was playing Choo-Choo Charles

J-STARS Victory VS and other notes

Tonight we advanced the plot in J-Stars Victory Vs, winning the Jump Tournament and then learning it was all a ruse, but at least now I have the option to use more than just a handful of characters for match up combinations. We knocked out several grind related achievements and have well over 60% of the trophies for this game.

J-Stars Victory Vs returns next Friday night with probably a big focus on hunting down Shadow ships

Tomorrow we're back to playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was playing Sonic Adventure 2

No work because of the July 4th Holiday Weekend

Friday, July 5, 2024

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream started around 6:30 PM Eastern and ran till about 1 AM, taking full advantage of the holiday. We did get a lot done, in terms of actually moving the story forward and doing stuff in and around the abbey. We recruited Captain America and Storm, and saw that Bruce Banner and Scarlet Witch are fallen... so now its a question of how do we save them.

I do wish there was a 'mission list' of sorts to indicate how and when the story progresses. Not to mention having an idea of when things respawn around the abbey, because there is an achievement tied to collecting 10 of every type of plants.

Anyway, Marvel Midnight Suns will return on Saturday's stream.

Tomorrow's stream will feature J-Stars Victory Vs... and we may start early, that depends on how when I finish some writing. (More on that below)

No work because of the July 4th Holiday

Idiot using fireworks in and around my neighborhood should be arrested because it sounds as if guns are being fired 

Got a good portion of the Legend of Korra story commission written, but it's going to be a short one given the notes I was presented.

Nabbed a meal from the 45th Street Pub

Sea of Thieves Achievements

Iceman, Striker and I knocked out the last chunk of the Monkey Island Tall Tales, and it was a satsifying conclusion, even if roaming the catacombs was a bit annoying. Next time out, we'll be able to focus on just roaming around and finding treasures and stuff.

Sea of Thieves is slated for next Wednesday's stream.

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns and chances are we'll start early

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream.

I am off from work until at least Monday thanks to the quirky nature of the July 4th Holiday... at least I should get a lot of writing done.

Speaking of which, got the Dragon Ball commission done, next up on the agenda is a Legend of Korra story.

I've been unable to get the Low-V version of MeTV, which meant I've been unable to watch any of its subchannels... but the trade off has been getting every other UHF channel in the area.

Sea of Thieves Achievements

  • The Lair of LeChuck: You completed The Lair of LeChuck.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We got a fair bit done in Marvel's Midnight Suns, unlocking various achievements and actually forced to advance the plot a bit because of how the DLC is locked behind certain things being done and areas being available. But we did do the introduction mission for Morbius, so we got the Living Vampire on the crew now.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday

Tomorrow night we're either playing Smite or Sea of Thieves

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Overwatch 2

Work got cancelled today, and I believe its tied to the July 4th Holiday... its one of those weeks of the year that always screws me over 

Wrote  large chunk of a Dragon Ball commission, I really should put a cap on how many characters can be included for the SubscribeStar Commission tier.

Got a good night's sleep last last night after being up for 36 hours. Will be going to be bed in about 1/2 an hour once all the usual post stream stuff is done!

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Quantity is Quality: Used 8 hero abilities in a single turn.
  • Trading Up: Redrawn 75 cards.
  • We Have Ways: Interrogated 5 enemies.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream saw a big focus on completing the Deadpool DLC story, and I can see that it's going to tie to the other DLC characters which is going to be awesome.  We banged out several grind related achievements as well, so all and all a productive night of gaming.

Midnight Suns will be featured tomorrow night as I think we'll go into the next DLC story arc, which is Morbius... I think

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

I hate UPS, they always deliver late... but I got a new fan that has a timer so I can rotate which fans are on at any given time.

Work was bleh... we closed out an assignment and got the final hour off... so that raises questions about if we got work coming in... sigh...

Knocked out the WWE Commission, next up is a Dragon Ball one

Tired two different Phillips OTA antenna's both were actually worst than the one I picked up as a curiosity... how is that even possible?! 

I've been up since 1 PM on Sunday... I need to sleep...
