Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Playing Grandia again is always awesome, and at the very least, being familiar with the game allows me to show off a little in terms of going after every enemy as I see them in order to try to level up quickly as well as master abilities, since in Grandia, the more you use an ability the faster it will be executed in later battles. Really love the dynamic with Justin and Sue.

We basically knocked out all the introduction and opening set up, went the Sult Ruins, met Liete and set the tone. I was feeling a little worn down so we ended the stream a bit early.

We shall continue Grandia tomorrow night with the next objective being to get the Steamer Pass

For the raid we dropped in on  calyria who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Work was alright, solid but not overly awesome

Watching Stargate SG-1 season 9 and I can't but laught at how the Ori are basically being presented as the Catholic Church

Finished the WWE commission in one shot today, next story is Kingdom Hearts related which might take two days to write depending on when I wake up

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

  • Besties: Sue has joined party.
  • Icarian Energy Item: Acquire the Spirit Stone.
  • Charge!: Win your first battle.
  • Growth Spurt: Level up for the first time.
  • Little Green: Win 50 battles.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream saw a big focus on completing the Deadpool DLC story, and I can see that it's going to tie to the other DLC characters which is going to be awesome.  We banged out several grind related achievements as well, so all and all a productive night of gaming.

Midnight Suns will be featured tomorrow night as I think we'll go into the next DLC story arc, which is Morbius... I think

For the raid we dropped in on calyria who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

I hate UPS, they always deliver late... but I got a new fan that has a timer so I can rotate which fans are on at any given time.

Work was bleh... we closed out an assignment and got the final hour off... so that raises questions about if we got work coming in... sigh...

Knocked out the WWE Commission, next up is a Dragon Ball one

Tired two different Phillips OTA antenna's both were actually worst than the one I picked up as a curiosity... how is that even possible?! 

I've been up since 1 PM on Sunday... I need to sleep...

Overwatch, Smite and other notes

Tonight's stream opened up with Overwatch 2 as McCowboy and PandaSweet joined in for matches that saw a wide variety of quality at times. Since the new battle pass season has started I'll probably work in matches off stream to get it done as quickly as possible. Also enabled streamer mode, which meant I had several different alias throughout the night which was fun.

PandaSweet and I also played some Smite, wanting to work in some of that so that Panda can get more of a feel for things. Also to my own shock I got the 2nd of Sol's related achievement... after getting the first one for her back in 2018!

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday, and we'll see about Smite

Tomorrow night, we start Marvel's Midnight Suns

Thank you to telochfin who the raid following their stream!

For the raid we dropped in on Oldish22 who was playing Smite

Did groceries today, made sure to get 14 Fresh Express Salad as I want to have one a day every day!

Finished the God Eater to complete all the SubscribeStar commission tier ones for this month. Next up is a Mass Effect commission story

SMITE Achievements

  • Disapparate: As Sol stun two or more enemy gods with the trail from Disapparate.

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Persona 4 Golden, and from where we picked up (a few days before the final exam) it took six hours to cover everything. Now if I wasn't reading every bit of dialog out loud, it probably would have been done in a lesser amount of time, but some things needed to have a voice to them. I didn't care for the gimmick of the Hallow Forrest as it seemed as if it was design to make people give up on Marie by not having the preferred gear and items, as well as totally draining the stamina. 

I did how everything had a nice wrap up and conclusion, and how this Persona 4 went out of its way to stress the fact that Main Character was going to live, as opposed to Persona 3, where the hero dies in the end. Also really liked the animated scenes that were included, which added a really nice touch.

Will I play Persona 4 Golden again... well the only things left would be to fuse the World Persona and defeat  Margaret, plus farm out battle dialog for Rise... then there is the trivia thing which I have no interest in doing. So it's possible if I want to go for the 1000 gamer score.

Anyway, replacing Persona 4 Golden will be Marvel Midnight Suns, which we'll start on Monday!

Tomorrow night we're playing Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Was so hot today that I did not want want to open the refrigerator more than a couple of times, so order take out. Considering the trouble with the fridge I had last year when it came to keep it open to load in groceries on a hot summer day I am not taking chances 

Started work on the God Eater story commission, and I wish there were more details about the in-game world, but for a game that has several titles, the fan-wikis for the franchise is barren

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

  • Welcome Back: Rescue Marie.
  • Legend of Inaba: Max out all Social Links.
  • Thorough Bookkeeper: Complete the Persona Compendium.
  • The Truth In Your Hands: Defeat Izanami.

Friday, June 21, 2024

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight's stream of Persona 4 Golden was a lot of slice of life stuff as I finished all of the Social Links I could (need one more for Adachi), read all the books, registered 100 cards and made 5 meals. This was certainly a very visual novel heavy stream.

Made the choice not to go for completing all the side-quests, as there is no real value to them given the rewards for what left are not worth it. 

We're at 99% on the compendium, but the final one needed is tied to Adachi's social link, so do one and then get the other.

Persona 4 Golden will return on Saturday's stream, and we're going to see about finishing it!

Big thanks to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

Our next stream will feature J-Stars Victory Vs+

For the raid we dropped in on calyria who was playing Dragon Age Inquisition

Work was a real drag today... totally forgettable

About half way done writing a Spider-Man commission fic,  trying to get it to 3000 words mostly the idea I was given to work with was trying to stretch out a plot.

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

  • Compulsive Reader: Read all books.
  • Cooking With Gas: Make 5 perfect boxed lunches.
  • Card Collector: Register 100 Skill Cards.

Sunday, June 9, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was a lot better than last Sunday, as we won a hell of a lot more than we lost. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the action, as their presence allowed me to only worry about three teammates not doing their roles instead of four.

Also had Play of the Games as Junker Queen, D.va, Orissa and Reinhardt, so I was certainly on point the entire night.

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday night.

Tomorrow night's stream will feature Persona 4 Golden, as we're in the aftermath of rescuing Naoto, which means a lot of slice of life stuff.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

We had three power outages today during the early afternoon, haven't seen anything like that since before mom passed away.

Finished the Marvel related story commission, next one is WWE related and I know that's going to take two days to write 

Listened to the Phillies vs Mets game, and was disappointed in how they lost.

Friday, June 7, 2024

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight's stream of Persona 4 Golden saw the big trip to Tatsumi Port Island, and I was baffled by the fact the class was put up in a Love Hotel and that members of the main cast got 'drunk', even though it was said they were not having alcoholic beverages. I suspect that was something changed for the North American release as underage drinking is frowned upon. Not sure I buy the 'drunk off the atmosphere' reason.

Still we got several things accomplished in terms of social links and building up to Naoto's ill-advised plan to get themselves thrown into the TV, so we worked our way to where our next stream will be focused on searching for Quest Items , dealing with a mini-boss and rescuing her.

Persona 4 Golden will return on Saturday's stream with the focus being on dungeon crawling for quest items, a bonus boss and rescuing Naoto

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their Final Fantasy XIV stream

Tomorrow's stream will featuring J-Stars Victory Vs

For the raid we dropped in on moonlitsoju who was also playing Persona 4 Golden

Work was real solid this evening, less asshole than last night.

Knocked out the Legend of Korra related commission of the course of today, always nice when I can bang something out quickly. Next is a WWE related story

Wanted something from WaWa via Doordash and they forgot my hoagie! Good thing I got a refund for it.

Finally have 300 'confirmed' wins in MultiVersus, remaining achievements are related mostly to getting different time of eliminations... and playing paired with a person.

Considering getting myself an Over the Air Attenda for one of my TVs, might be able to get a good bargain on one

MultiVersus Achievements

  • The Throne Is Yours: Win 300 matchmade games

Sunday, June 2, 2024

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was one to forget as I was flying solo the entire time and my tendency to check out of matches ended up being a highlight. I did focus on using characters I've rarely used. 

I did distract myself by having Spotify on to singing along to the music which certainly made the night move faster.

 Overwatch 2 will return Sunday night

Tomorrow night we're back to Persona 4 Golden!

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Also dived into Persona 4 Golden to figure out how the Reaper gimmick works and safe to say, doing it off stream was for the best because keep tracks of how many chests were open was a pain.

Did a little yard work early this morning, mostly on the sidewalk

Got started on the WWE commission request, took a while to figure out how I wanted the set up to go. Should be able to knock it out during the day tomorrow.

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

  • The Reaper Becomes the Reaped: Defeat The Reaper.

J-STARS Victory VS and other notes

So first impression of J-Stars Victory Vs is that it has a great intro with a full theme that shows off all the characters, but there isn't a tutorial mode. On the other hand it is possible still to get all the online achievements done as I proved, even as I was figuring out the standard controls. There is an arcade mode, but clearly its meant for expert players based on apparent difficulty ratings.All the character models look great in fact I say they look better than Jump Force.

Game-play wise, it's a two on two arena fighter with no tagging in and out but there are assists characters. Every character needs to be unlocked, but to do that you need both in-game currency as well as to level up to have 'room' to recruit people.

Roster is pretty solid with a wide variety of Shonen Jump franchises such as One Piece, Luckyman, Dragon Ball, Naurto and Fist of the North Star. There is no English audio track, so everyone speaks in Japanese.which is fine considering that's how U had the audio set up for Ghost of Tsushima

J-Stars Victory Vs will return next Friday!

Tomorrow night we're playing Persona 4 Golden, hopefully we can get back on track in terms of things getting done correctly.

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

For the raid we sropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing Smite

Work was solid, even if some people were real jerks

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch started off hot, with quite a few wins but things really tappered off tin a big way when I noticed players cheating and doing things that are not even possible.  

One shining example was a 76 who was literally floating in the air,

Still managed to get a play of the game as Doomfist knocking people off the ledges, and we were joined by PandaSweet which was awesome.

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday.

Tomorrow night we are playing Persona 4 Golden, and we might start an hour or two early

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Did groceries today, a lot more vegetables and stuff as I want to try and eat healthier.

Started work on the WWE commission and it's about 50% complete, will be working on it for the rest of the night.

Also need to record this week's Daria Reaction video

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight we finally finished Ghost of Tsushima which we started way back on January 26, so about 15, 16 weeks later we have done everything in the base game, every single trophy was earned. 

Found a guide to locate the hidden shrines and apparently I just needed nine of them, so somewhere along the line I bowed to one.

I could have done without having to sneak back into the Castle Shimmura, but the final chase and duels against the Khan and Jin's Uncle's were cool.

Choose to spare the uncle because it is the clear renegade choice... and why not? Considering how he didn't have Jin's back, dishonoring him by letting him live makes total sense! 

Still glad that we've finished and we can move on to something else on Fridays..

Tomorrow night we're playing Persona 4 Golden

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

For the raid we dropped in on djparticle who was playing Star Trek Online 

Replacing Ghost of Tsushima in the line up next Friday will be J-Stars Victory VS

Work was solid even though I didn't know I would even be working until 4 PM

Made good progress on a WWE related commission, its about 50% done should be able to finish it tomorrow

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was the usual, but we it was a double XP weekend, so by doing daily, weekly and event challenges we got closer to the completing the bonus tiers for titles in the battle pass.

We were joined by PandaSweet, which is always awesome as things could and sometimes did get silly with some things that happened.

Picked up one of Mercy related achievements, and I realize the other is for resurrecting a certain number of players without dying... don't think that's going to happen since I rarely play as Mercy. 

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night we're playing Borderlands 2

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Already know the electric bill is in, which will be paid on Friday along with the Water Bill

Considering buying more salad stuff next time I do groceries so instead of cooking I can just rip open a bag and chow down.

Finished the Mass Effect commission request and it broke the 6000 word mark. Next story on the docket is based on Legend of Zelda

In regards to the Fantasy Baseball team, we won the week 6 to 4, winning in Runs (37 to 30), (Home Runs (8 to 6) RBI (36 to 27) Saves (5 to 4) ERA (2.008 to 3.58) and WHIP (0.88 to 1.07). We lost on Stolen Bases (6 to 8), Average (.250 to .276) and Wins (5 to 6)

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Group Health Plan: Restore 150 health for 4 allies without dying as Mercy in Quick or Competitive Play.

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima was focused on exploring the northern portion of the map, finding a lot of things before realizing two things were back in the central area, and needed a guide to get them (one was a fox den and one was a Haiku that was hidden because of an NPC). I need one Haiku to complete another trophy but that's tied to the main story.

At this point, I have 5 major side quests to do to complete tales associated with three of my allies and the main story itself. There is a slim possibility all of that could be done the next time we play Ghost of Tsushima next Friday. But the goal will be do tackle the side quests first before advancing the plot again.

I do know there will be a good chance to get the Platinum trophy as I knocked out two trophies tonight (Have a Night Fall and Dirge of the Fallen Forge) that I thought would be impossible. I just will need a guide to find 10 hidden shrines to bow to.  Way I figure, my total play time of the base game of Ghost of Tsushima is going to be close to 70 hours... and I'm certainly not going to deal with the DLC any time soon.

Ghost of Tsushima will return next Friday!

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

Tomorrow night we begin the second story arc of Persona 4 Golden!

For the raid we dropped in on chaotic_nikki who was playing World of Warcraft.

Since I felt weird all week and felt I've had a good enough 9 days of work to cover one day with potential incentive bonuses, I took the day off.

Managed to finish the Star Wars commission. which would also help partially cover for today as well, I say partially because I did order something to eat as I didn't feel like messing around in the kitchen.

Felt totally embarrassed about missing a text from my brother on mother's day which I didn't noticed until earlier today... what is wrong with me, other than fucking obvious? 

Really looking into services to remove two trees and take care of the yard. At the moment the tree removal might be the bigger priority

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream was dedicated to mostly playing as Dva to give a good idea of how I tend to literally play her as a tank with some dive-bomb attempts when I see an opening.Did get in several matches as Brigitte, Zarya and a few other characters as well.

Of course there were some very suspect people both terms of who we played with and against that very much had me scratching my head.

Still, mostly playing as Dva had me thinking I could go on a string of dedicating nights to playing as specific characters. Just a thought.

Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night we're back to Borderlands 2 to continue the Tiny Tina DLC content.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Did groceries today, had to spend more than I was planning  to because I needed contractor bags.

Got a good deal of writing done on a WWE commission, will be working on that after this is posted

Also will record this week's Daria Reactions before bed.

Borderlands 2 and other notes

So the Tiny Tina's Dungeon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2 is way more interesting than the Hammerlock Big Game Hunt, just in terms of everything making sense in how each area is laid out and no cheap instant fail side-quests. We only knocked out the first two chapters but did every side quest I came across.

That said, I figure the DLC is basically Tiny Tina's way of coping with a lot of the hardship she went through considering how she seems to want to think Roland is alive... well technically he is because I have not finished the main game of Borderlands 2 yet lol.

Also, it really shocked me to realize that the DLC was later released as a stand along game. I get that it's a unique novelty but I'm not sure that was a good idea or even a good value since it's basically about 10-12 hours worth of content. 

Borderlands 2 will return on Monday 

Tomorrow's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima

Big thanks to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

For the raid we dropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing Cat Quest II 

Work was super productive this evening, thing I was about 20% over production give or take as an assignment that would normally run in the day was tried in the evening, and we totally kicked ass.

Finished the WWE story commission and started work on the next one which is Arrow related  

Have to consider what groceries to get since it's that time again! Also pay Comcast and probably pre-pay the Water Bill as well.

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I made sure to voice my displeasure for Teddie right off the bat. We're playing this on the easiest difficulty to ensure we can cover a lot of ground, and do a lot of level grinding (already hit level 10 for the 'Hero').

Rather impressed how detail things get with a lot of the dialog, with some jokes really hitting the target perfectly. There is probably more of a sense of urgency with Persona 4 Golden than Persona 3 Portable because of the weather factor. I do wonder if there are save points in the dungeons as well or some sort of safe room or some sort of mid-level save mechanic as with Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal. 

Also despite my disdain for Teddie... I am surprised that he was really subtle at first... until he hears the 'scoring with studs' from Chie....

Persona 4 Golden will return next Saturday!

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on foxy_harley as they were doing a Just Chatting theme 

Big thanks to Kalenal for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

Knocked out the My Hero Academia commission request in the afternoon, and I'm going to try and not put any thought into continuity or world building going forward

Started work on the next commission fic, which is NHL related will need to use an awkward in story 'cut transition' to make it so I can probably knock out 80% of it during the day

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

  • The Other Self: Obtain the Persona Izanagi.
  • Advantage Mine: Enter a battle with Player Advantage.

Overwatch 2 and other notss

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 featured several matches in the Mirrorwatch event to progress in that before settling into standard Quick Play matches. Shoutout to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun from start to finish.

Also yes, I do have a pretty damn good success rate when it comes to calling out people for cheating in Overwatch 2, there are somethings that just don't look natural.

Overwatch 2 will of course be back next Sunday.

Tomorrow night we return to Borderlands 2 and progressing through side quests. 

Big thanks to tfalexis1165 for raid following their stream of Minecraft

For tonight's raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Got some writing done on the first of two Fairy Tail commissions, had a hard time figuring out the intro, but when it doubt make a Cheers reference and basically including Norm for a heap gag.

Going to record this week's episode of the Daria reactions before doing some writing and heading to bed.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Iceman and I go treasure hunting... and as we found about a dozen pieces of loot, we got ambushed by a ghost ship which blew us out of the water in a handful of shots before we could figure out what was happening.... meaning we lost all that loot.

We were lucky enough to find some more loot, so we didn't end the night empty handed.

Also learned their has been an Alvin & The Chipmunks animated series airing since 2015 

Tomorrow night's stream will feature Borderlands 2

Big thanks to Kalenal for a raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama where Zone themselves who was hosting the retro television streaming 

Happy Birthday to long time friend of the channel Striker! 

Picked up some Chinese Food for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow... for some reason they sent a big tub of soy sauce which I guess is to be poured on the rice?

Knocked out a Sailor Moon commission fairly easily, next up and already in progress is a Star Wars one.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 featured Panda and I tolerating the fact that every match featured Venture in it. Which is understandable considering they are a new character and in general is over powered. We ended the night on a four match win streak

Tomorrow we're returning to Borderlands 2

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Tomorrow I'm expecting folks from the water company in the afternoon to see if they have to replace the main service pipe for my home

Knocked out two levels in Lego Batman 2 in regards to the mini-kits and citizens in peril, so we'll be closer to getting every achievements in that game

Finished the Spider-Man commission early this morning and started work on the next one which is WWE related, which is about 35% complete at the moment.

Was unusual hungry, so order a plater from Blowin Smoque

Deep Space Nine Reactions: Fascination
