I forgot How Long the 5th Chapter if Alice Madness Returns Is

Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday was another rough day for me mentally in regards just feeling motivated about stuff in general. But on a positive note finally got that second box of contractor bags, along with the storage contains to help with all the additional vinyl records. Want to store them a specific way so I can repurpose the trunk they are in.

Last night's stream of Alice: Madness Returns saw us finishing up the back half of  Chapter 3 and all of Chapter 4 in fairly short order. Completely forgot about the awesome segment when Alice gets to go giant size and stomp on everything! Now I thought we could finish the game last night as we were making fairly good progress in Chapter 5...

But then the puzzles and timing segments happened and of course my bad timing and needing multiple attempts to succeed at stuff, not to mention trying to get various collectables slowed me down in a huge way. Near as I can tell, there are only four segments left in the game, but how long it'll take me toget through them is a real question.

So the plan for tonight is too finished Alice: Madness Returns, and we'll probably play some Smite or Hades, as I do have both games installed on the Xbox One.

Big thanks to Kalenal for the raid following their stream of Pokemon Scarlett over on twitch.tv/kalenal

For the raid we dropped in on PowerThumbz who was playing Daymare: 1998 at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

Started work on the latest commission request for a short story based on those who were presenting at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Rewards. It's probably going to barely hit 1500 words.

 Looking at the work assignment for today, I can already tell it's going to be a long afternoon in terms of how beaten up the call sample is.

And on that note we'll see you later tonight 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...
