A Night of Cultist Simulator

Good morning everyone,  

For last night's stream we checked out Cultist Simulator, which is available on Steam... and it is basically what it's advertising, it's a simulator of forming and maintaining a cult. Set in the early 1900s, there are several branching paths, and a lot of luck, resource management. 

While the game may look simple, it's very complex as there are timers on everything, and there is a slight sense of anxiety when there are over a half dozen things to manage. There are a number of random effects that can occur, and the way to fend off things like dread, restlessness and other factors can cause a ton of headaches. It is very easy to lose track of things, as I proved several times when things look like progress was was being made/

This is also a game where reading everything out loud (or summarizing) is kind of important for streaming, which should play to my strengths considering my day gig, but the font is rather small and blends too much with the background with it being a light blue on dark blue. May not seem like a factor, but I position my monitors to a fair distance away to avoid eye strain.

Now will we play Cultist Simulator again, more than likely yes, as it falls into the category of 'Throw To', as it's perfect for filling in a night between major games, splitting part of a stream with. .And if the rate of unlocking achievements for it are correct, it is clearly a game that would have me trying to figure out how to accomplish everything it has.

Big thanks to the community for kicking in 1000 bits during the stream, and to YrGamerBunni for gifting a sub to another viewer last night! The support is awesome!

 For the raid we dropped in on JusticePS who was also playing Cultist Simulator over at twitch.tv/JusticePS!   

We went ahead and added the digital version of Stray for the PS4 to the collection, so that is something we'll certainly check out as soon as possible.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily work out featured Intermediate Combo #2, Hip Shape Focus Combo and Straight Combo #2 for 28 minutes.

Trimmed up my hair last night, mostly sides and rear of the crown (top of the head), where my hair always grows in kind of a dual layer. If I can slide my fingers through the back of my hair and basically lift a good portion of it almost like the trunk of a car, then it's time to give it a trim. Also the decrease in hair volume in the back means I can comfortably rock a ponytail

I rather like the new Overwatch League exclusive skin for Mercy, as the medieval knight armor certainly fits with her often having dialog with Reinhardt and Brigitte, who also wear medieval style armor.

For tonight's stream, Fallout 76 is on deck, as I'll try to advance some of my various quest lines, and of course we'll more than likely be joined by Iceman for some team-up fun!

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