Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII went pretty well, we reached Taejin's Tower and knocked out several of the mandatory hunts before finding an excellent spot to grind for CP. I could have easily pushed to finish Chapter 11 this evening, however, there were some outside circumstances that prevented it, not to mention if I can get close to 999,999 CP points, we could damn near fill out Hope, Ligntning and Fang's standard skill trees for level 9. I will try and do some heavy grinding on that, otherwise Thursday's stream will feature me going up and down a set of stairs.

Of course the outside factor was that Xfinity was scheduled to be doing maintenance around 1 AM, so that's why I ended the stream fairly early.

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

Wednesday's night stream is slated to feature Sea of Thieves with Iceman, if he's available, otherwise, it will be Smite

Didn't get as much writing done on the Resident Evil commission I was expecting. I take that back, I got a lot done, but didn't finish it. I'll be working on that before I go to bed so that when I wake up I can work on the next story that's on my docket.

On a side note, the clips from the final night of Catherine Full Body continue to get flagged by Sega, but we should be outside of the 30 day window for the clips that appear during the BRB screen.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw me backtracking quite a bit to find and complete the seventh hunt in order to unlock the R&D shop in order to possibly be able to upgrade weapons to the next tier at some point. Beyond that we ended up doing a lot of hunts, and we finally found Chocobos in addition to apparently unlocking Cactars that drop 5000 CP when slayed. We wrapped things up by reaching the point of the final Eidolan battle so all six members of the cast have their summons.

Now of course Final Fantasy XIII will be featured tomorrow as we push forward, and the big goal that I have is to get as much CP as possible, to over 780,000, this is going to be helped by the fact we've unlocked teleporters to take us to areas where we can grind thing.

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon's Keep, which is apart of the Borderlands franchise.

Found out the servers at work are being rebuilt, so right now we're waiting for that to be done.

Managed to find alternate sources to get the physical strategy guides I was looking for, but they'll be sent via USPS, which does mean I'll get notifications on anything heading my way.

Finished the Attack on Titan story, and it turned out alright. Next is a short commission story based on Resident Evil.

Been adding the Ring Fit Adventure exercises to my routine of Fitness Boxing, using the later as a warm up before doing the former. Probably would help if I had self-control when it came to eating.

 

Overwatch 2 and other notes

 Well my day ended up not being good as another Amazon package was stolen from my porch... I was not expecting what I ordered to be arriving today, if I was, I would have been waiting for it!

Anyway tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was a lot of fun, big thanks to PandaSweet for being part of the action. We did feature a couple of runs of the Cosmic Crisis event which was fun, and I could have played the role of Betrayer in one, which would have been interesting. Also hit level 95 on the Battle Pass, earning the title that was at that level.

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

Tomorrow night, I'll be featuring Final Fantasy XIII, and more than likely there will be some grinding going on. In fact I may be doing that in a bit off-stream to try and fill out the current skill trees.Maybe we'll do some back tracking too to find some more of those hunts tomorrow.

Finished the Spider-Man commission story and the person who ordered was trying to avoid paying for it despite paying for a previous story with the same method I use for everyone who isn't going through SubscribeStar. I'm really tempted them to put them on blast for it

Started work on an Attack on Titan commission request, which should be fairly shortish, as the set up is more wham-bam than anything else.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us gradually making our way through the large open area, doing various hunts and grinding for CP. The fact that there are many high level enemies around certainly make things interesting as some can be torn through fairly quickly and others... not so much.

We'll be back to the adventure on Monday's stream, and probably will focus on power grinding as much CP as possible

For the raid we dropped in on smoresdafloof who was playing League of Legends

Tomorrow night's stream will feature Overwatch 2, and a huge focus on quick play matches

For a fair amount of writing done in the Spider-Man commission which I'll be working on the rest of the night. I made up my mind to keep things basic and trying not to do to much with it.

Noticed a lot of folks taking issue with the new jerseys being worn by MLB teams, to which I say, we all saw it coming. The switch from Majestic to Fanatics was one of the stupidest  decisions baseball could have made.  

The strategy guides for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII should be arriving Monday,

 Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Kelger's Cup: Completed all low-level Cie'th Stone missions

Ghost of Tsushuma and other notes

For tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima, we continued to explore the lower half of the map, finding fox shrines and various little fast travel points while also being misdirected by birds. Found the Heavenly Strike side quest which was pretty good, but all in all we avoided two things that would advance the plot.

Tomorrow night we're playing Final Fantasy XIII opening up Chapter 11 and having to save Hope.

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama who was playing Splatoon 3

Still no word on work resuming... 

Loaded up on Groceries, all the usual pasta related things, but added in some shrimp as well, since iLove how they turn out in the air fryer.

Got to remember to have a salad tomorrow.

Started work on the Spider-Man commission story, finding the right vibe for the intro is forcing me to do something generic, but hell I do need the cash.

 

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us tear through Chapter 10, which saw a lot of battles against a  nice variety of enemies, leading to a boss fight against Cid Raines... and this has to be the first time in any Final Fantasy game I've played where one has to battle Cid. Now I had to do that battle twice, as we failed on the first attempt. Also had to redo a couple of smaller battles because I was too confident. 

Still we finally made it to Gran Pulse, the open area of the game which makes up Chapter 11 so there is going to be a lot of roaming around and finding enemies to farm in order to gill out the skill trees for Lightning, Hope and Fang, while specializing Snow, Shaz and Vaniel in specific functions. Final Fantasy XIII will be back on Saturday's stream

Tomorrow's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima, more roaming around and finding side things

For the raid we dropped in on makaybear4 who is back to streaming, and they were playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Grabbed an order of food from Blowin Smoque, a local BBQ joint, some ribs, kale greens and potato salad... it was quite delicious. 

Knocked out the third of three consecutive WWE commission requests... and now my attention turns towards a Spider-Man related story. Going to aim for it to be 2500 to 3000 words, as the person who commissioned it gave me a terrible concept to work with.

Finished the Battlepass for Overwatch's new season and have been doing a lot of ranked matches

Also, the FN Dante Savage has formed a new band called Shooting at Ghosts, and have a new album coming out on in March called Lifelines. Their first single, "Lullaby" can be heard on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h2OPNnjEQM

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Loremaster: Discerned the full attributes of 100 enemies.
• Instrument of Hope: Traveled to the world below, seeking a way to alter fate.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Iceman and I figuring out how to find treasure based on the maps one can get in the game, and we found a lot, with some back and forth traveling. Highlight was figuring out one of the cryptic puzzle ones where you have clues to go by, We also ran into a giant ass shark and managed to sink an enemy ship, so all and all a lot of fun

Tomorrow night we're back to Final Fantasy XIII picking up with things in Chapter 10, and with luck we can get through all of it. We might extend the stream to compensate to make sure we do.

For tonight's raid we went over to datshadowwolf to watch them play Dead by Daylight 

Finished the second of three back to back to back WWE stories and I have one more  to do, which is already in progress so I'll be working on that during the day tomorrow (in between looking for a new job as per usual). 

Thankfully once that's done I have a wide variety of story commission requests on different franchises on the docket.

Still haven't found a replacement for Red Dwarf on shows to watch.
