Grandia HD Collection and others

Thanks to taking full advantage of the in game AI settings I was able to level grind heavily in Grandia II, getting to level 50 off-stream, which meant we were so over powered and prepared for the Melfice fight, since we had mana eggs and skills maxed out to where I could have Ryudo wail on him while Mareg, Tio and Elena applied buffs and de-buffs. I wonder just how trivial many of the remaining boss fights are going to be? Also managed to get the Nut Grabber achievement which is perhaps the greatest named achievement ever.

Also this week, picked up an achievement in Overwatch to complete Echo's set, after like a month of trying. 

Iceman and I nabbed three achievements in Sea of Thieves, I'm going to need to see what ones can be easily done from the ones who don't have that don't involve playing the main game.

Finally nabbed an achievement in Bejeweled 2, granted it was not the one I was trying to get, but hey, at least it's on the record of things I've done.

We're closing in on the end of the end of the original story arc in God Eater Resurrection, and Shio is clearly an adorable character., but it was another week with no trophies earned.

Got some weed killer and it's made a difference on some parts of my property. I really need to get a proper weed whacker / mower to deal with some of the overgrowth which does not involve lawn trimming string.

On the story writing front, two places where I would post stuff publicly have been shut down, and the time of it in relation to what has been going on in Venezuela can't be a coincidence. That said I am working on a Spider-Man related commission, and over the next week my agenda includes WWE, Legend of Korra and possibly Star Wars.

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

This week we finished Grandia on Thursday night (well early Friday Morning) with only three missed achievements in that half of the Grandia HD Collection. We started up Grandia II tonight, banging out 8 in nearly five hours. Grandia II will be featured on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I did forget that Grandia II's camera is not as helpful as the original games because of the more 3D environment

Installed some older WWE 2K games cause I have an idea for some streams late in the year to feature some older games, and I knocked out several achievements. Rather surprised how many were diamond achievements in 2K17 and 2K18. Hell same applies to Bejeweled 3

Messed around some with Guilty Gear Strive and it's not as fun as the XRD games in the franchise, but I do intent to try and feature it this year, give maybe several streams dedicate to it.

Iceman and I lucked out in getting three achievements in Sea of Thieves, so our Wednesday night adventures have lead to some gamer score boosts form time to time.

No trophies earned in God Eater Resurrection, but we did reach Level 5 difficulty in terms of the hunts, so the game is starting to become very difficulty. Also some the clipping  and bullshit involving hit detection was very apparent this past Friday.

Outside of Monday work was solid all week, I did get in a little trouble with my tendency to free style a little 

On the story writing front I got several commissioned requests done and have three more to do to wrap up Augusts work load. With luck I can get them done in short order in order to get a jump on Septembers content.

Changing things up with the Blog

 I'm going to switch up doing blog posts to Saturdays, this way to recap all achievements and trophies plus other things ^_^

Saturday, August 17, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight we covered a lot of ground, getting the Horn of Knowledge, unlocked Feena's Icarian Magic, added Guido to the Party, said good-bye to Milda and threw down with Baal all  over the course of 5 hours. At this point it's straight to Alent and the final stages of the game, but there is the concern over Rapp's magic, as he doesn't quite connect with Snooze the way Sue, Justin or Feena does. Still between Justin and Feena nothing is going to stand in my way based on how much of their spells I have Maxed out.

Grandia will return on Monday's stream!

Tomorrow night's stream: Overwatch 2

Raid:  moonlitsoju
Playing: NEO: The World Ends With You

Brother came by for his birthday present, glad he liked it! And he got me a cheese-steak, so call it a trade! 

Started work on my first ever Fire Emblem related commission, took me a while to figure out how exactly I would started it with what little knowledge I have

Going to record two episode of the Daria Reactions to get started on Season 3 for next week

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Brilliant!: Acquire the Horn of Knowledge.
  • Going Down: Escape the Grandeur and General Baal.

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

Tonight we did a bunch of free missions in God Eater and I really like using the Scythe as a slashing weapon, it's slow but it has a big arc, also experimented with using different crushing and piercing weapons, which do seem have perks depending on enemy types. I'm real curious about the story and the implied conspiracy theory.

God Eater Resurrection will return next Friday night

Tomorrow's Stream: Grandia

'Tonight's Raid: misscammi316
Playing: Fortnite

Work was solid despite some technical issues

Nearly finished the NFL story, going to finish it before bed.

I know I have to record two episodes for the Daria Reactions this week I'll probably record them back to back as we start season three

God Eater: Resurrection Trophies

  • Destroyer: Break 100 bonds.
  • Jackpot: Discover a rare Abandoned God Arc.

Friday, August 16, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

The big goal for tonight was to find the Castle of Dreams, and there is something about it that bugs me, and it's the fact it is treated like a quest with the compass pointing in the direction of where to go, unlike in the Soldiers Graveyard. And I forgot how difficulty The Lord's Ghost was with that X-Ray and Zap combo. Beyond that we found three Mana eggs, granted only one is needed to unlock Rapp's Earth magic. 

Next time we play, we're heading for the city of Laine and the Horn of Knowledge, and probably will make our way to Alent as well. 

Tomorrow's Stream: God Eater Resurrection 

Raid: ZoneSama
Streaming: Just Chating

Work was really solid this evening, even if an hour was lost due to technical problems

Slept in today, guess the early mornings doing yard work caught up to me cause I was just dead all morning

Did get a good bit of writing done when I did wake up, its a NFL related one and I should be able to knock it out tomorrow

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Castle Bustin: Defeat the Lord's Ghost.

Thursday, August 15, 2024

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight, Iceman and I were back at it in Sea of Thieves, and discovered a quest that involved transporting good from a port to a seapost with the need to deliver them all in time. We also picked up an achievement for delivering a piece of loot he fished up which was nuts. All and all a productive evening on the high seas!

Next Stream: Grandia

Tonight's Raid: smoresdafloof
Playing: Overwatch 2

Work was solid, was 2 over production.... and the people in Missouri wer

Played  some Smiet after doing some yardwork this morning, and got two achievements in one match... that was a good start to the day

Knocked out the Spider-Man commission in a shocking amount of time, next up is a NFL related one

SMITE Achievements

  • Three Prongs of Trishula: Unlock the Smite Award "Three Prongs of Trishula"
  • Dance of Bliss and Destruction: Unlock the Smite Award "Dance of Bliss and Destruction"


Sea of Thieves Achievements

  • Another Pirate's Treasure: Delivered a piece of treacherous loot to The Hunter's Call.

Wednesday, August 14, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Story wise, we knocked out the Tower of Doom and it's aftermath in a pretty straight forward manner, granted I am looking to level up Feena's Wind and Water magic as much as possible while having to focus on Justin using his weapons, and to a lesser extend letting Rapp use a lot of magic as well. We got Milda in the party as well obvious, and I forgot that she is 'supposed to be' 19 years old, but just does come across as being older.

We also extended the stream for an hour to find the Kung Fu Master fight in the Soldiers Graveyard, and we were successsful, granted I completely forgot how much of a pain in the ass that fight is because of all of the boss having passive healing. Next thing on the agenda is finding the Castle of Dreams.

Grandia will return on Thursday's stream

Tomorrow's Stream: Sea of Thieves or Smite

Raid: theanimationvoice
Playing: Feisty Fauna

Work was incredibly bleh this evening... highlighted by one asshole who I hope has a 'pleasant day' tomorrow

Sunday, August 11, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight PandaSweet and hot got on a stretch where we won 11 matches in row before a loss, then won another 5 matches in row. It was possible our most dominate night of playing Overwatch ever, and that goes back over five years. Certainly was incredible on several front. I even picked up an achievement as Junkrat which I can't believe I did when one looks at the requirements for it (see below).

Too bad we started running into asshole in the final hour, bet we could've won over twenty matches!

Overwatch 2 returns next Sunday night

Tomorrow Night's Stream: Grandia

Raid: nepherenia
Playing: Cuphead

Got a fair amount of writing done on this Spider-Man commission, it will be finished during the day tomorrow

Did some yard work this morning, planning on doing a little each day this week before it rains again on Saturday

Saw a little varmint in mouse, and going to get a butt done of glue traps, maybe even some of those sonic pest control things

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Mine Like a Steel Trap: Knock an enemy into your Steel Trap using Junkrat's Concussion Mine in Quick or Competitive Play.

Saturday, August 10, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

I timed t hings out nicely this evening with Grandia in that we covered the Twin Towers, saw Leen's scenes with Justin and Feena's with Mullens,  and the big thing was Sue's departure with the trips to the Mysterious Vanishing Hill to send her back to Parm. For the first time I heard that scene voiced thanks to the fine folks at the Spirit Stone, and it hits way harder, as Sue is really a delightful character. Also we covered the duel with Gadwin and the Mermaids... but I wasn't as thorough as I thought I was, and missed out on some treasures.

But at this point I have all of Justin and Feena's level one and two magic unlocked, so we're way ahead of the game in that regard, so focusing on speicifc things will mean we'll have a great shot of getting at lot done.

Grandia will return on Monday's stream!

Tomorrow's Stream: Overwatch 2

Raid: ValsVGV 
Playing: Grandia HD Remastered 

Finished the Spider-Man story, though I had a bit of writers block when it came to finishing it up to keep things making sense, next up is another Spider-Man story

Need to take advantage of the good weather this week and cut some branches... and probably run the hand mower as well.  

Recorded the Daria Reaction's episode for this week, See Jane Run, which will premier on Wednesday. I'll be recording two more episodes for next week to wrap up Season Two

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Brain Power: Acquire the Medal of Wisdom.
  • Double-Tap: Defeat the Massacre Machine Twice.

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

We got a good bit done in God Eater Resurrection tonight, as someone popped into the chat and helped me figure out aiming, which really make a huge difference. Also finished off all of the Difficulty 3 missions, so we're up to the fourth story arc and we're now the Captain of the squad, which is cool.Figure next week we'll take the approach of doing all non-story missions first before advancing the plot

Tomorrow Night's Stream: Grandia

We're picking up in the Twin Towers tomorrow and we're going to see about making the big push towards Sue and Gadwin's departures. With a five hour stream we should be able to do that, depending on how much I dilly dally with farming enemies. 

Tonight's Raid: moonlitsoju 
Playing: Persona 4 Golden

Work was solid, had to talk my way into several interviews but it was good

Did not get any writing done because my fence was being repaired, and I was distracted the entire time will be working on the Spider-Man commission tomorrow, basically just have to write the 'action scene'

Finished Stargate SG-1 Season 10, and while Unending clearly wasn't supposed to be the series finale it served as one quite nicely

Going to record this week's episode of the Daria Reactions before bed.

God Eater: Resurrection Trophies

  • A New Leader: Assume the role of 1st Unit Leader.


RetroMania Wrestling Achievements

  • One More For The Good Guys: Complete Story Mode as a face

Friday, August 9, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

We reached the village of Gumbo and dealt with the Maddragon in order to get the village back to being a party town, The Maddragon fight ended up being more difficult than it needed to be because I was trying to farm magic and skill experience during it, which lead to Justin and Sue being KO'ed a few times. Still we reached the Twin Towers so we're in a good spot to knock out several things on Saturday's stream.

Also was invited to the Spirit Stone discord where the folks there are going to be making a Grandia Abridge project which debuts later this month!

Granida will return on Saturday's stream

Friday Night's Stream: God Eater Ressurection

Tonight's Raid: RyuMuramasaVT
Playing: Grandia

Work was really solid this evening, even if this assignment were long

Got a lot of writing done on a Spider-Man commission but it's going to take another day to finish

My current Xbox Achievement streak will be ending at 18 days with 56 achievements earned over that span, quite a few coming in RetroMania

It rained all day today, so no update on the fence being 'fixed'

RetroMania Wrestling Achievements

  • I'm Just a Spectator: Watch Five: AI vs. AI Battles
  • Kickin' it Old School: Win a match as Nikita Koloff in the NWA 70 Arena
  • I Don't Think So, Brother!: Win a Match After Triggering a Second Wind

Thursday, August 8, 2024

Smite and other notes

Tonight we played and were joined by PandaSweet, winning 4 matches while losing 5. I played as Bellona, Discordia, and Sol on the evening. We had some bad luck with people going AFK and just choosing not to engage in the matches . Still we had fun

Sea of Thieves was on the agenda, but Iceman had an issue come up last minute that caused major headaches for him. I can completely relate

Next Wednesday's Stream: Smite or Sea of Thieves

Tomorrow Night's Stream: Grandia

Raid: Zonesama
Streaming: Just Chatting

Work was better than last night, but certainly dragged a whole lot

All this rain the next few days will men the fence is not getting 'fixed' as soon as possible

Put u up decals on the mailbox so people can see the number from like Mars

Finished the WWE Commission next up is a Spider-Man one

Wednesday, August 7, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight's stream of Grandia saw me trying to remember exactly how to get through Typhoon Tower as there was things that needed to be done in order access the tallest portion of the tower. On the plus side we did dealt with the Klepp King in pretty short order. The fact that I miss a mana egg is rearing its ugly head giving that Sue just has Water and Earth magic to use. On the plus side, Justin and Feena have all magic sets unlocked, so leveling them up will simply mean more battle hunting..

We did set things up so that the next time we feature Grandia, we're already halfway to Gumbo so we should be able to knock that out straight away.

Grandia returns on Thursday's stream

Tomorrow night: Sea of Thieves or Smite

Tonight's Raid: Sweetlindir
Playing: Smite

Work sucked tonight, the sample was just brutal

Trying to find an ATM near my home this morning took me on a bit of a hike but I found one... and hopefully the fence situation will be dealt with tomorrow 

Finished the Star Wars commission, waiting to be pair for it, next is a WWE related one that is already in progress

Banged out several achievements in RetroMania off-stream. Thankfully two could have been synced up, as Brian Myers is involved in two achievements.

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Klepp Killer: Defeat the Klepp King.


RetroMania Wrestling Achievements

  • We're Takin' Over!: Win a 6 Man Tag Team Match as the Blue World Order
  • The Most Professional Wrestler: Win a match as Brian Myers
  • Major Marks: Win a Tag match as Cardona & Myers in the STOMP In Paradise Arena
  • Boom Boom!: Win a match as Colt Cabana

Tuesday, August 6, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

We accomplished what we set out to do in climbing the End of the World which end up being a lot more stress free than one would assume or as I remembered, This means we are closing in on the half-way point of the game, because we met Gadwin who basically exists to add a bit of over powered muscle to the party for a short while... which also means we're closing in saying good-bye to Sue/

Now I first played Grandia way back in 2000, and it occurred to me tonight that Sue getting separated from Justin and Feena after climbing the wall is intentional to put a larger level gap between her and them. so whenever she gets hit by stronger enemies it really looks like she is struggling, a fact proven when one enemy took off 75% of her health. I get it, it's to stress that she is a little kid and make her seem like a liability, but considering she's been my heavy hitter it a bitter pill to swallow

Tomorrow's Stream: Grandia

Tonight's Raid: ashre_l
Playing: Spyro The Dragon

Got a notation from the Bureau of Housing ordering me to fix the fence which has not been an issue  ever since some cunt ran into several years ago. The timing of that in relation to finally seeing what my property taxes are going to look like is rather suspicious.

Because of this stress, I didn't get all the writing I had planned done but will have the Star Wars commission finished tomorrow

Of course before I do that I need to go to the bank and do a withdraw because of the fence fiasco

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • The End is the Beginning: Reach the top of the End of the World.
  • Warrior Bud: Gadwin has joined the party.
  • Savage Slayer: Defeat 1000 monsters.

Sunday, August 4, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Overwatch 2 tonight was solid for the most part, as PandaSweet and I won a lot more than we lost, some matches did features some people clearly intent on losing just because it was 'Quick Play'. Playing off the TV instead of the monitor proved to be a world of different in terms of being able to aim about 13% better than I do normally with the likes of Cassidy and Widowmaker.

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night we're back to Grandia as we look to real the major story point which is climbing the End of the World. 

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

Played some RetroMania and knocked out several achievements, mostly to keep a current streak going.

Finished the WWE commission earlier this morning which I meant to do last night. Also got started on a Star Wars related one

I got remember to get get snacks when I do groceries, it just never occurs to me until long after the fact.

Saturday, August 3, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight we picked things up in the Dom Ruins and went all the way to Luc Village, so we ended up with three story related achievements. We also took the big approach of using the magic abilities as much as possible since Justin, Sue and Feena now all have two sets of powers each, which meant drawing some battles out longer than necessary. I am also painfully aware that I missed a Mana egg, so I need to really be thorough in looking for the remaining ones as we go forward, mostly to ensure that Justin and Feena have all four power sets each

Grandia will be back on Monday's stream

Tomorrow night Overwatch 2 is our featured content

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

Recorded this week's episode of the Daria's Reactions covering the episode 'Fair Enough', it will be on the YouTube Channel on Wednesday 

Going to work on that WWE commission, it's about 50% finished 

Been trying to figure out why my computer has had some random restarts lately with not indication something was wrong. Everything that could be updated is updated.

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Wrecked in the Ruins: Defeat Ganymede.
  • Train Robbers: You stole a train?
  • Gift of the Gods: Find the Sacred Nectar.

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

Finally saw the plot progress in God Eater Resurrection and it turns out there might be a whole in-game conspiracy that someone wanting Lidlow taken out. I am interested in seeing where that goes. However, I was not keen in having to get through three missions basically solo with Alisa basically being extremely passive and making me a city duck. The third once against a giant scorpion was a real pain in the ass.

We did do the stream off the television instead of one of the monitors on my desk, and I think things worked out. I still won't be looking directly at the camera during the gaming, but at the very least I'm not looking down at the down. Des mean I have to raise my chair up because of where I had to move my webcam. 

God Eater Resurrection will return next Friday night

Tomorrow night we're playing Grandia

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Wutheringe Waves

Work was alright outside of one asshole who was Trump supporter

Finished one WWE commission and now I got another one to work on, which should be do able and knocked out during the day tomorrow

Did a little weed pulling and my legs got bit by something... grr

Fridge is fully of groceries, so no need for take out for the next two weeks

Got to record the next Daria Reaction video after tomorrow's stream 

Also kept my achievement streak going on Xbox since RetroMania has a couple of character achievements

RetroMania Wrestling Achievements

  • SPLX King: Win a match as Jeff Cobb


God Eater: Resurrection Trophies

  • Resonance: Perform a resonance between New-Type God Eaters.
  • A Power Unleashed: Activate a Control Unit's effect for the first time.
  • The Brink of Death: Perform Link aid on an ally.

Friday, August 2, 2024

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

We accomplished what we set out to do this evening which was to make it to Feena's hosue and then rescue her from the wedding to Pakon before setting out towards the Dom Ruins. We have slayed over 300 enemies so far, so getting 1000 enemies slain by the end of the game feels totally doable. We left off in the Dom ruins as it was getting late and Iv'e been waking up super early the past few days

Granida will return on Saturday's stream

Tomorrow's stream will feature God Eater Resurrection

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

Work was alight, just solid.

Still waiting to see what the quarterly tax payments on my house is going to be....

Finished the Legend of Korra story commission and got started on the next one which is WWE realted. It's about 40% complete

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Brutal Slayer: Defeat 300 monsters.
  • Professional On Board: Become adventurers with Feena.

Thursday, August 1, 2024

Smite and other notes

We ended up winning 5 out of 7 matches in Smite tonight, and possibly should have won 6 if a little more caution was used. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun!

Next Wednesday will most likely feature Sea of Thieves

Tomorrow night we're playing Gradia!

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

Work was solid as we closed out an assignment

Still waiting to see what the property taxes will be on my home for the next year

Did some yard work, but because of that, didn't get as much writing done on the Legend of Korra commission. Will finish that tomorrow

We got a minor heatwave going on, tomorrow it might be near 100 degrees... 

I am seeing the problem with Stargate SG-1 Season 9 and it really comes down to how the character of Colonel Mitchell is shoehorned in as the leader when he should have been someone learning the ropes.
