Visited Mom Yesterday; Catherine's Final Towers Were Nuts!

Good morning everyone,

First off, obviously, I went and saw mom yesterday at the hospital, and funny thing, myself and my brother got there around the same time, not knowing the other would be there, so he and I had a nice chat when he came down from her room. (They only allow one person up at a time). When I went up, mom was asleep, because they had to sedate in order to have her be still when doing an MRI and other scans earlier in the morning. She woke up for a little bit but went right back to sleep. It was nice to see her. If anyone would be kind enough to donate to her GoFundMe in her fight against Lung Cancer and other medical expenses, please visit: https://gofund.me/6adf8354

Last night's stream of Catherine actually saw us finish the game, it did take 6 hours, because those final towers got pretty nutty and I ended up having to retry a lot of my attempts. I can't imagine how insane things are on the hardest difficulty settings for this game. I did enjoy me experience playing it, and the choose your own path aspect of the game really mattered as it related to the ending and the achievements that were earned.

As for the ending, I got the normal lovers ending, which sees Vincent and Katherine reunite and plan their eventual wedding. I'm sure there are guides on how to get all the possible endings, but for a first time play through, I can't pleased with the results.

Now would I play Catherine again... yes I would, but at the same time, I might want to eventually get Catherine: Full Body, which is the remastered and expanding version of the game, that introduces 'Rin, a third possible love interest for Vincent. That game I believe is only on the PS4, so tracking down a physical copy would be my preference. OF course.. with the Xbox 360 version that I played, it does have the achievements I could target on a second playthrough

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 while they were playing Dead By Daylight over on twitch.tv/misscammi316!

Had a couple of commission requests for WWE stories back to back, got one written yesterday and will work on the second one today, both basically focused around Triple H running things. I do feel I've been expanding a few things a bit to try and flesh out my fic writing process. Now if only it didn't take me 4 hours to write a 2000 word story lol.

Recorded a new tier-list video for the YouTube Channel, it's focused on Capcom Fighting Games, though the tierlists I found were not exactly a complete list of all the fighting games Capcom published. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Beginner COmbo #2, Advanced Combo #1, Uppercut Combo #1 and Intermediate COmbo #2 for 35 minutes.

For tonight's stream, well you know what time it is, Overwatch 2 is on deck and I'll probably put in an effort on playing support because I haven't exactly gotten to play that role much in off-stream matches this week. 

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

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...
