Murdered: Soul Suspect and the Salem Witch Trials

Good morning everyone,

Last night we wrapped up Murdered: Soul Suspect... and when it leaned in heavily in the direction of the Salem Witch Trials it certainly didn't pull anything back. Such as the use of Abigail Williams who was indeed indeed a real person who ran around accusing people of witch craft. That tie in was a bit much, but it does make the story work to various degrees and made for a satisfying conclusion.I did rather enjoy the twist that Ronan was one of the 'tools' used by Abigail with the revelation that she kills off those that she possess in the end, which explains why Ronan was killed at the very start.

We did use a guide to find all the collectables, and there were two that I missed fairly early into the game last week, including one in the flipping Apartment building at the very start. Still by the end of the game we did end up getting every achievement. So yay... a rare game that I 100% completed!

Now would I want to play through it again... eh, maybe if I want to have a 'horror' game for the fall down the road. Personally, I rather not deal with how much time I spent trying to figure out the best approach to taking out the demons... but by the end of the game, I did realize holding down Right Trigger on the Xbox controller meant Ronan could sprint which made some things a lot easier to deal with.

Twitch Clips

Big thanks to Kalenal for the raid following their stream of Wingspan! Also some news with Kal, they are changing their stream schedule to be Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays! You can catch them over on twitch.tv/kalenal

For the raid we dropped in on BestiBunni as they were playing Magic: The Gathering and Halo Infinite over on twitch.tv/bestibunni!  

Finished the recent commission request for a story based around Trish Stratus being on RAW a few weeks ago, and got another commission request for a story to feature Tyson Kidd which I knocked out earlier this morning because I couldn't quite get to sleep. Good thing to, because I ended up getting another request for a follow up to the Spider-Man story I did recently.

Had one period where the internet went down yesterday and I reported it through Xfinity's customer service line, making it clear this has been a reoccurring problem. Luckily last night's stream didn't see any issues.

I am hoping Elgato release a patch update that will resolve the issues that were created with OBS version 28 and the Stream Deck, if I don't remember to reapply the quick fix it means the scene switches I've programmed will not work. 

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

Since bot matches count towards progression, managed to bang out a couple of achievements in MultiVersus to progress towards getting as many as possible. I think the ones I'll have the toughest times with is playing in a formed party. Still the real quest is the battle pass. So logging in and trying to knock out the daily quests will help in that regard.

MultiVersus Achievements

  • Proving Yourself: Win 100 matchmade games
  • Watch Your Step: Get 10 Ringouts using your spike

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
