South Park The Fracutred But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park The Fractured But Whole got plagued with not one but two brief power interruptions, that ended up dividing the stream into two parts, which is really frustrating when it comes to archiving everything. It's been a while since I had something like that happened, but it was related to PSE&G.

Now we did finish the game and I really liked how the New Kid having a reason for his powers. Was a bit surprised to see that the game ends with having to beat up both Kyle and Cartman, and that seems to be a trend since there is the option to beat up one or the other in the Stick of Truth. We did try the Morgan Freeman fight, which did not go well, as I think I'm going to need a team that fights from a distance to overcome it. We did the Casa Bonita DLC story, and I was night expecting a Michael Jackson cameo.

We also started the Mintberry Crunch DLC, but it appeared to be a lot longer so we're going to continue that on Saturday's stream, and maybe give the Morgan Freeman fight another shot.

Tomorrow night we're starting up Ghost of Tsushima on the PlayStation 4

For the raid we dropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing Palworld

No update on work resuming, but all bills are paid at the moment so we're in a good spot

Knocked out the AEW commission request, which turned out to be a decent follow up to an earlier one. 

Next on the commission agenda is a short Arrow related story

It's now been one year since mom's passed... and yeah, I'm missing her a whole lot right now.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievement

  • Fully Bloated: Unlocked all combat TimeFarts
  • Invasive Tumor Removal: Defeated Mutant Cousin Kyle
  • Through the Bowels of Time: Survived the farts of future past

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Iceman and I engage in a quest that involved a 20 minute long brawl against a Ashen captain, skeletons and lots of fire. We were able to get a pretty big haul of loot turned in but we left of the chest of rage because of how it kept exploding and it sunk out ship!

Tomorrow night we look to finish South Park: The Fractured But Whole

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Baldur's Gate 3

Having to get a lot of my paystubs together for the past year in preparation for filing a dispute with the local UI office as it seems like things might be a struggle in the coming weeks

Finished the WWE related commission request and started work on an AEW related one, which I should be able to finish fairly easily tomorrow, as I got the intro and set up written already.

King of glad that the weather this week got up into the 60s, as a lot of the snow has melted... of course we might get more snow this weekend.

Watched episode two of Red Dwarf Series 8, our Dwarfers dressed as the Dibbley clan was a great little moment.

Good night!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream of South Park: The Fractured But Whole was extended a bit tonight because just like on Saturday I kept finding things to do as it was related to various quests. We placed all the headshots (but that quest cannot be turned in yet because of politics) and found all the yaoi art pieces, and I thought we had all the cats found (but turns out one is in an area we have not accessed yet). We did battle with Professor Chaos, got ambushed by Ninjas... and saw Craig and Tweak reunite (LET'S FIGHTING LOVE!!!!). All in all a great night

Tomorrow we shall continued South Park The Fractured But Whole, picking up with a quest where we must assist Tupperware (Tolkien) in a main story mission. 

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Work was held off today because we are waiting for materials to come in, which basically means the client was probably adjusting something in the questions to probably make them more of a mouthful. 

Got paid for all completed commission requests today, so that's all caught up (thank goodness) so now we started planning ahead for February.

The AEW commission story came together rather nicely, and the next one with a WWE related one, which shouldn't take me more than three or four hours to bang out. So we can really make a dent in things on the docket by the end of the week.

I do need to learn about Star vs. the Forces of Evil for one that will be written next month however.

Finished series seven of Red Dwarf, and while the cliff hanger for the ship itself being rebuilt was great, it does mean the Rimmer gets the character reset for series eight if memory serves me right.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

  • Death Dodger: Kept an Ally alive for an entire combat while they took twice their max Health in damage
  • Chaos Controlled: Foiled the plans of Professor Chaos
  • Deep Seated Power: Obtained and equipped Artifacts to reach 600 Might
  • Divine Wind: Successfully Fartkour'd to the Lofts at SoDoSoPa rooftop and back down again
  • Boy Love Aficionado: Found all Yaoi art pieces
  • Master Manipulator: Confused or charmed an enemy into defeating another enemy

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was the usual bit of madness as we were joined by PandaSweet, Odeu and BangBangBang for various matches. We had a good mix of wins and losses. Tonight I played as Moira, Junker Queen, Bastion, Torbjourn, Ashe, Reaper, Sombra and several others

Tomorrow night we're resuming South Park The Fractured But Whole. 

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

Electric and Water bills have been paid, so now just got to put more of a credit on my Internet bill to stay ahead of that.

Did some grocery shopping today picked up all the usual stuff.

Finally got paid on the NFL story commission from last week, and now just have one outstanding.

Knocked out the NBA commission today (and got paid for it the same day, thankfully)

Next story commission is AEW related, in fact I got a couple of wrestling related stories in the upcoming queue... which is always at the end of the month or start of the month... ugh.

Good night folks!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream ran from 5 PM Eastern till about 12:30 AM, and was not planned, but I kept finding stuff to do in South Park The Fracture But Whole that seemed totally doable, as a lot of quests just flowed from one to another. I'm really digging the story between Craig and Tweak, and the customization for the player character seems to get really nutty as things go along, from super hero class, race, ethnicity and other factors. We'll continue this game on Monday's stream.

Sunday night's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on swiftsupafly who was playing The Finals 

A fair amount of snow melted today, so didn't really have to shovel much of anything, anything left over I can easily deal with on Monday.

Finished the Dragon Ball commission request and am now waiting on payment for it and the earlier NFL commission request finished earlier in the week. Am counting on those to cover groceries this week. Next commission story in progress is NBA/NCAA related and I'm thinking i'm keeping that under 2500 words since the one after it is intended to be a bit lengthy.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

  • Class Warfare: Equipped powers from 2 different classes
  • Titleist: Reached the highest rank on 1 title in your Character Sheet
  • Call in a Favor: Used a Summon
  • Diabetes Defender: Defended a helpless child from a drunk lunatic
  • Big Knocker: Killed an enemy by knocking another enemy into them
  • Epic Artificer: Crafted an Artifact with a Might value of 75 or more
  • Character Sheet Elite: Earned the highest rank on 5 Character Sheet Titles, or 4 while having the highest Economic Level
  • Stop, Drop and Roll: Won a combat by using TimeFart Pause to kill all remaining enemies at once before time resumed
  • Glitch of Death: Used TimeFart Glitch to cause a status-effected enemy to lose their turn and die at turn's end

Good night folks!

Catherine Full Body and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Catherine: Full Body and ended up getting the Good Ending with Catherine, which worked out rather nicely considering Katherine deception was what caused Vincent's problems in the first damn place. Too bad I didn't know how to unlock Rin's path, but we can come back to Catherine: Full Body down the line for another attempt. 

Next Friday we're going to start Ghost of Tsushima as out next PlayStation 4 exclusive game.

Tomorrow we're back to South Park The Fractured But Whole

For the raid we dropped in on bangbangbang713 who was playing The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Catherine: Full Body Trophies

  • An Oil Baron's Journey: Assist Abul in expanding his world.
  • Love Story: Resolve Daniel's dilemma.
  • Return of the Rockstar: Help Roderick recover his dream.
  • Flowers for a Journalist: Get Justin out of his jam.
  • A Young Man's Everything: Aid Archie through his quandary.
  • Superior Man: Help Todd out of his trouble.
  • Freedom!: Solve the mystery of the nightmares.
  • Can't Get Enough: Reconcile with Catherine in the end. 

We had work today but it was in the afternoon as a last minute switch had us starting at noon to make up for all the technical problems that started on Wednesday.

We also got about six inches of snow, and I spent some time clearing my steps and the walk up to them (nearly losing my keys in the process).

Both of those ended up effecting how much time I could dedicated to writing, but I'm nearly finished a Dragon Ball related commission tomorrow.

I'm up to Series VII of Red Dwarf, reaching the point where Rimmer becomes Ace.

Good night!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight we started up South Park The Fractured But Whole, and really got into roaming around and and exploring, seeing what we could do early on, which was a fair bit. I really like the combat system as I realize I have to be a little more thoughtful of where I place my team so that no one is blocked. We'll resume it on Saturday's stream!

Friday's night's stream will feature Catherine Full Body.

For the raid, we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Hunt: Shodown

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

  • Potty Trained: Used a toilet and achieved the highest mastery level
  • Cosplay Curious: Wore costume pieces from 3 different sets at once
  • Fashionista: Found 10 costume pieces
  • #followbacks: Became mutual followers with 10 people in South Park
  • Toxic Environment: Looted 100 Biohazard items
  • Pasta of Prophets: Crafted a macaroni picture for Moses
  • Junksmith: Crafted 10 distinct recipes

We did have work, after a shit ton of technical problems was sorted out, and I knocked out four interviews. Pretty good night.

Got a jump start on my taxes, still waiting on some forms to come in to fill it out. Hopefully we can get a refund this year.

Since I was dealing with that I only got a fair amount done in terms of the next commission request, which is Dragon Ball related, I'll be working on that during the day on Friday.

Also we're expecting more snow... and the stuff we already had just melted... fuck my life.

Good night!
