Big Progress In Persona 3 Portable, Schedule Change Due To Work

Good morning everyone,

We got news, found out there is alternate work hours I can get, it means the weeknight streams will not start until after 9:30 PM, which will begin tonight. It would've happened last night, but I didn't see the text messages until after 6 PM. Still, I need the work obviously for my own financial security, but also for my mental health in terms of feeling normal.

Last night's stream of Persona 3 Portable saw us spent several hours in Tartarus, getting up to floor 65, our level is up to 27, and I realize that balancing the other party members is going to be tough since it appears there is no shared XP for those not with you during an expedition. We did of course take of the next big full moon boss, and the entire Love Hotel was a bit hilarious, though Yukari didn't need to slap us. 

I did see a lot of the plot reveal tying Persona 3 to the first game (I think), as well as Mitsuru's guilt about not being forthcoming with the details, as well as the set up for next story arc involving the summer break and the introduction of Ken. We left off on July 18th, so the goal for our next stream is to get to August 4th in order to ensure we have another big Tartarus night next Monday.

But as I said tonight's stream and for the foreseeable future, weeknight streams will start after 9:30 PM Eastern.

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing The Sims 4 over at twitch.tv/misscammi316

I thought I would have a workout involving getting an HDMI signal from the PlayStation 3 to my capture card with a splitter, but it doesn't work. Last thing I can think of is maybe trying a S-Video set up, would mean trying to find a PlayStation 3 S-Video cable along with a convert to HDMI, otherwise, anything from the PS3 will be at a 480p. Might also give using component cables another try as well.

Got a new commission request for another Mass Effect story, to  go with the one remaining commission request from last week for a WWE story. I'll work a bit on the WWE one before work today, then make the Mass Effect one the priority. Helps that I know both clients habits when it comes to who actually pays me promptly and who makes make me waits for weeks.

Didn't dive into the Sakura box on stream last night, but considering the later start tonight, we might open with a snack.

I do have to remember to take the trash out before 4:30 PM this afternoon... not doing that after dark!

So on that note we'll see you around 9:30 PM Eastern 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...
