Tonight's stream of Overwatch ran over eight hours, starting at 5 PM and ending after 1 AM, so that we could celebrate New Years with PandaSweet who is an hour behind (and as always big thanks to Panda for being apart of the stream!). So there were a lot of wins and losses over that span. Played as Junker Queen, Cassidy, Moira, Brigitte, D.va and numerous other characters. Also managed to pick up Ashe's second character achievement so that is the final one earned for 2023.
Tomorrow night we're kicking things off with 2024 with the New Game Plus run of Persona 5 Tactica, cut scenes and such will be skipped over as we'll be looking to level up as quickly as possible. Not sure exactly when we'll start, I'm thinking early evening.

For the raid we went over to bangbangbang713 to watch them play The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me
Had to take a trip to the bank today to make a deposit, which involved taking a bus there and then walking back home behind because the return bus wouldn't come for another two hours. Thankfully it was not snowing or raining and there was no traffic, so it was like direct one mile walk back.
Got two thirds of a commission story written based on the NFL in the late 90s, just have one more scene to write which I'll be working on when I wake up.
Two new Funkos added to the collection Slimer from Ghostbusters and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Work yesterday was fairly good, despite some issues with Microsoft Edge randomly remembering my login from last year that I've changed causing some headaches. Then I find out there is possibility of normal day work coming back which means a change in my streaming schedule again! Ugh! At least it'll be back to normal, which means Fall Guys would be back.
Last night's stream of Resident Evil 5 features both the Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape DLC, and we did both with Iceman, which was a lot of fun.
Lost in Nightmares is set before the events of RE5 on Chris and Jill's mission that saw her get captured by Wesker, basically a throwback to the gameplay style of the earliest Resident Evil games with puzzles that need to be solved and limited ammos. We did use a guide, and had one crushing death. The fight against Wesker was of course a pain in the ass as it relates to the QTEs being noticeable, but we cleared it.
Desperate Escape is a companion chapter to the event of Chapter 5 of RE5's main story, where you play as Jill and Josh as they escape from the facility after Chris and Sheeva rescue Jill. It's a mad dash, super action sequence with lots of bad guys and ammo. As a side story and showing how Jill and Josh got to the helicopter that appears at the end of the game, it was quite enjoyable.
Now with this, we're moving on Resident Evil 5, but we'll revisited down the road for shits and giggles, to try and get other achievements, but starting next week, Resident Evil 6 takes center stage.

For the raid we dropped in on pradoxgamerau while they are playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamong/Shining Pearl over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerau
The plan for tonight's stream is to play Mass Effect, we shall continue our side quest hunt and grind for using the engineer powers!
Also, as noted last night, The Dark Pictures Anthology will be something I'll be looking to get, since Iceman and I learned those are online co-op, which means more shenanigans we can have on Wednesdays! Now if anyone wants to gift it to me on the Xbox side... (I'm kidding!)
Did some writing on the WWE commission story and I was told by the client to take my time with it, so I'll shift my attention to the Mass Effect story commission.
Last night's stream started with DKO Divine Knockout and I'm determined to get Athena to 'level 20' mostly because one of the things that is popular to do over in its sister game Smite, is to put in the play time with each character to rank X even if you're not good as them. I'm fairly good with Athena in certain match ups, so this gives me a long term goal with the game. Big thanks to Reaper for joining in on a few matches as well.
Next we played MultiVersus, and I do like the look of the Game of Thrones inspired arena, just wish I wasn't playing Velma at the time so I could have a better idea of how to recover when knocked off the sides. Also MultiVersus had some weird rendering issues with textures on the characters. Did nab the ugly sweater skin for Arya Stark, because that helped with some challenges.
Lastly we closed out the night with Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, and we had a good stint on it, winning 4 out of 6 matches played. I have to remember next time to hunt for Rifts to fulfill one of the side hustles.
For the raid we dropped in on Tracy Doll who was playing The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me over at twitch.tv/tracydoll.
We have nearly raised $1000 for my mom to help cover her medical expenses, ya'll are awesome for helping her out! For information on what's going on in her fight against cancer visit: https://gofund.me/6adf8354.
Finished the first in a new series of short story commission based on Mass Effect, and the client wants a second right straight away. Now to figure out how to write the second episode.
