Starfield and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight we spent the night playing Starfield, and as I dedicated it to sticking to just one planet and exploring trying to see how long it would take to fully survey it, I discovered that the scope of the game is just way too damn huge. Now I have played open world games before, such as Fallout 76, Cyberpunk 2077 and the like, and I've sunk a time of time into massive MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online, but unlike those games, Starfield appears to have a massive scale problem when it comes to someone like me who does try to do everything I come across.

And what really compounds this issue is when trying to find all the critters and plant life, if I spend five hours playing a game and I feel like I could not accomplish something simple in that time frame, then there is something wrong. Of course I could simple just stick with the main story and get through that as quickly as possible, which seems like the smart way to do things.

Starfield Achievements

• Traveler: Reach Level 10

Out next stream on Sunday will feature Overwatch 2!

For the raid we went over to Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV! 

Got two stories written on Saturday, well actually finished two stories that were in progress, the first was the commission story based on The Flash, which I meant to finish yesterday, and the other was the Persona story I started writing a few weeks ago... which didn't turn out as good as the previous five chapters.

Anyway, I have four commission stories lined up, two of which are through my SubscribeStar page, and the fandoms for these stories are two for WWE, one for Spider-Man and one for AEW. So three wrestling stories... ugh... oh well. 

Laundry, dishes and groceries were all done today, so I'm set up for the week.

Good night!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream went way longer than I intended because I was hoping to knock out all the quest related achievements for Horizon Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds content, and while we finished the main story, some things certainly tool longer than expected. Still outside of the Hunting lodge in the area we pretty much accomplished everything worth doing so next time we play HZD, which will be next Friday, we'll be back to the base games content in roaming around and finding stuff.

The plan for Saturday's stream is to feature Starfield, but at the moment I'm not to sure if that will be the game we'll play. The stream is scheduled to start around 5 PM Eastern.

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• Reached level 50: Reached player level 50.

For the raid we went over to djparticle who was playing Splatoon 3 

Had another good night of work, even if a part of it dragged a little, but got plenty of completes to make some of it fly by.

Did have a job interview, but they couldn't tell me where the office location was for their branch in Philadelphia, so I don't think I'll pursue it, even if the rate of pay would almost make it possible to get there fairly consistently. 

Worked on The Flash story commission but did not finished, it's about 60% complete so I'll work on it first thing in the morning, and probably work on the Persona story, while saving the WWE and Spider-Man commissions I have on deck for Sunday and Monday.

Good Night!
