Star Wars The Forced Unleashed and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream saw us starting up Star Wars The Forced Unleashed, and for a 15 year old game, it's visuals certainly hold up as do most of it's controls... the jumping is kind of wonky. The seemingly endless waves of enemies certains gives me the vibe that a lot of the grindy achievements were meant to be done in a single play through. Did find some of the placement for hidden items to be weird, but not too far out of the way..The plot of the game of Darth Vader wanting to take down the Emperor is a bit of a stretch because there is no fucking way Anakin Skywalker would have the balls to do that after what he did to the Padawans.Overall, I do find elements of the game to be rather silly and over the top.

We knocked out all of Act 1 tonight, and we'll continue the game on Tuesday's stream starting around 9:30 PM Eastern or as soon as I finish work.

Tonight's raid went to lilmoolah_ who was playing Cyberpunk 2077

Jury Duty in New Jersey is a fucking pain, as now I have to check every day at 4 PM this week to see if I have to go to the court house. I can't see how the hell this is even feasible for more people because it becomes a massive inconvenience since it's completely last minute.

Work today was alright if a little blah, did have concerns about a chance in my hours starting next week which would mean stream would start after 10 PM Eastern

Did get a call from a family member who is more or less trying to pressure me to move to Philadelphia, which is many ways isn't possible, and not something I would want to do because since my house is completely paid off. On top of that it would basically be like starting over from scratch with nothing.

Knocked out a massive commission story during the day based around AEW, the client gave me an outline that allowed me to just write the story without having to do too much research to understand how some chracters are. Next commission story will be basedo n Dragon Ball, followed by one based on Spider-Man, then one on Resident Evil

I really need to take a day to finish the 6th chapter of my Persona story... but the commission stories take priority.

Phillies lost tonight to the Diamondbacks backs and now for the first time in the teams history, and now they are forced to play a game 7 tomorrow. It's do or die for the Phillies... 

But hey, congrats to the Rangers for eliminating the Astros.

And on that note, good night!

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...
