Overwatch tonight was weird...

 Hi everyone,

Sunday was pretty smooth overall, got in some writing as well as did the dishes which I meant to do on Saturday, so my objectives for the day was done.

The stream of Overwatch 2 was weird, for one while we won 11 matches, I often felt the random teammates I was stuck with had no clue on how to play, leading to a lot of frustration. Still we got 11 wins and picked up one more 'title' for the Season which ends tomorrow. We were joined by PandaSweet for a few matches late in the stream and it's always great to team up with them!

While we didn't have any plays of the game, we did play a variety of characters including Brigitte, Ana, Moira, Mercy, Roadhog, Sombra, Tracer, Reinhardt, Orisa, Junker Queen and Wrecking Ball. Didn't really get to play damage roles until very late as I queued up for All Roles and spent a lot of time as a Support and Tank.

For the raid we dropped in on x9abenonymous9x over at twitch.tv/x9abenonymous9x who was playing Valheim!

I did watch the Xbox Showcase yesterday, and while there were plenty of cool games featured, none really grabbed my attention to be a 'must play' experience beyond Metaphor: ReFantazio which I sweat could've been called Persona 6 and I would not have thought any thing of it.  I already knew of Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica, so I don't count them towards.

Also read that Persona 3 Reload is going to feature an all new voice cast, which is probably not going to go down well with the P3 Fandom, because those people were whinging about the new UI for P3R. 

Now a reminder, due to work we're going to have late starts to all streams this week, with an 8:30 PM Eastern start tonight, and then 9:30 PM starts for Tuesday through Friday.

With that said, tonight we're back to Persona 3 Portable, we might advance several days in the plot and may jump to Tartatus for the excuse of just leveling up.

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

 

Side Questing Is Life With The Fist Of The North Star

Good morning everyone,

Hey it's work day and I have work, woo-hoo... and I instantly regret typing that seeing the first assignment of 2022... but hell, you gotta do what you gotta do right? Right...

Anyway last night's stream of Fist of the North Star really showed how much a lot of the side stories and mini-games are, because I knew I was in the second to last chapter of the game, and I figured that the end game in some regard would be taking place in the southern part of the wastelands, away from Eden. Nope! The final chapter is going to take place in Eden, which meant I could have finished the final chapter last night... if I wasn't focused on getting so many side stories done.

That said, we did get a lot done, from finishing the entire Bounty Hunter story arc, to getting the final training session with Toki and beating him in a fight that has us rather under powered in comparison (I was at level 50, Toki is at level 75... thank goodness for all the healing items I happened to have). Also I believe I'm about 1/2 way through the Manager Ken stuff, and realize I would have to go back to the Bartender stuff to wrap up some loose ends there. Perhaps the big highlight was finding the Sega Mark III, so there is a world breaking moment of Kenshiro playing himself in Hokuto no Ken, the Fist of the North Star game which came out for that system (and later released as Black Belt in the United States)

For last night's raid we sent everyone over to LifewithStan who was playing Valheim! They stream over at twitch.tv/lifewithstan!

In an effort to expand the variety (and rotation) of shirts I wear on stream, two Twitch Tye-dye shirts have been added to the wardrobe. Always wait for the sales and promo codes for Twitch merchandise folks... never pay full price.

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw a long wait in a queue to take part in the Eden's Promise: Eternity raid in order to wrap up all of the Eden side quest line. For the most part I understand what was happening, with the battle's mechanics, but as usual my reaction times lead to me getting wrecked a few times. Also knocked out the next part of the Doma rebuilding so that process is steadily being made.

For tonight's stream, the plan is to split the fun with Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5, but if something changes we'll mess around with some random stuff instead.

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