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.
