Overwatch 2 and other notes

We had a fun night of Overwatch 2 this evening as we were joined by PandaSweet for every single match. We certainly  ran into our fair share of questionable teammaes. Characters I used were JunkerQueen, Dva, Cassidy, Hanzo,, Windowmaker, Tracer and several other characters.

Tomorrow night we're returning to Skullgirls to finish all the story mode runs we need to do (and to basically make Skullgirls 'reviewable' for my YouTube channel)

For the raid we dropped in on brittballs who was playing Celeste

Finished Series 12 of Red Dwarf and now just have to watch The Promise Land movie. Looking forward to watching it this week.

Did some grocery shopping today, picked up all the goodies!

Nearly finished the WWE Short Story commission, but wrestling stories are not fun to right so it's taking longer than needed to finish.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us get further than I ever did with my original PlayStation 3 play through as a) I learned where I could grind CP, b) got real comfortable switching between the various roles and c) had the strategy guide to get a good idea of how to deal with various enemies, including the boss at the end of chapter five. I did save the game before we launched into chapter six, because I want to open the next time we play Final Fantasy XIII with an achievement.

Speaking of which, Final Fantasy XIII returns on Tuesday night's stream.

Also, big thank you to the two folks who followed during the s tream!

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch 2.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on psudonym who was playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth,

I caught up on a lot of sleep today, granted I should've done some groceries.

Didn't get much writing done on a WWE related story for a commission, but I'll be working on that before I go to sleep tonight.

• Instrument of Vengeance: Resolved to be more than a victim of circumstance.

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima started a little late because I was waiting on dinner to arrive, because I kind of fell asleep in the early afternoon and didn't have time to make something. We spent most of the night roaming around, advancing one of the main stories and exploring, seeing what areas we can find and doing the side quests. Did get one trophy tonight.

Our next stream on Saturday will feature Final Fantasy XIII as we pick up things in Chapter 4.

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

Work was okay tonight except for the fact that nap I took resulted in me oversleeping, so I lost an hour... but I was productive in getting several interviews done.

Finished a major commission story earlier in the day based on Resident Evil 4, next story on the docket is based around WWE... (sigh)

Did pick up Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Yakuza: Like A Dragon, obviously one of those were on sale

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

• Open for Business: Successfully Stagger enemies 50 times.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

We had a solid stream tonight as we knocked out all of Chapter 3 of Final Fantasy XIII, and I quickly realized that farming enemies and gaining CP is going to determine a lot when it comes to leveling up our cast of characters, because I remember what Chapter 4 involves, with Lighting and Hope having a major boss fight... which was one of the last things I did when I played the PS3 version of the game over a decade ago. I forgot that Snow stays behind, but we gained Shiva (even if that resulted in our first game over of the play through). 

Final Fantasy XIII will return on Saturday's stream, which of course is our longest nigh of the week to focus on our major game.

Tomorrow night we are playing Ghost of Tushima, as we shall roam the country side, looking for enemies and side things to do while avoiding the main story as much as possible

For the raid we dropped in on pradoxgamerau who was playing Enshrouded 

We did have work tonight, but it was full of technical problems that had us logging in and out constantly. Still things got off to a hot start before momentum was derailed.

Filed my taxes, and considering the major chunk H&R Block takes, I think I'll be getting enough back to cover the 2nd quarter taxes on my house. So nope, not getting a PS5 as some would assume.

Currently working on a commission request based on Resident Evil 4, and it's coming together quite nicely all things considered.

I did notice that six out of the next ten commission requests are WWE related... you can guess how many times I slammed my head into my desk when I also realized that four of them are back-to-back-to-back-to-back!

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Flight: Slipped through the net and lived to fight another day.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves went well as we tried to do knock out the second quest in the Piratesof the Caribbean ark, but we had a few hangs ups. We defeated the Siren Queen but the quest didn't complete, so we may have to do that again next time we play. Big thanks to Iceman and Striker for being apart of the crew!

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

Tomorrow night I'm back to Final Fantasy XIII, I also managed to get my hands on a the physical strategy guide. Which should make things easier to some degree.

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Cyberpunk 2077

We had a solid night of work as we closed out this New York focused assignment, and now we hope for another one to come.

Now I do have a bunch of commission stories to tackle, and the NCAA related one is about 75% finished, if I knock that out good and early tomorrow I can jump right into a Resident Evil commission request that should could come very handy for groceries this week.

Currently in the middle of season eleven of Red Dwarf, and I love that Rimmer character arc regarding who is father is was not discarded. 

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream saw us play Final Fantasy XIII, and clearing the first two chapters of the game, and getting use to the ATB system certainly is a challenge because of how fast paced it makes the combat. That said, I was reminded about the most annoying character in the game, which is of course Hope, who is such a fucking whiner earlier. On the flip side, I totally forgot about how Snow and  Lighting were basically 'in-laws' (again I did play the game back in 2011 before my original PS3 crapped out).

Anyway, we'll return to Final Fantasy XIII on Thursdays stream

Tomorrow night the plan is to play Sea of Thieves with Iceman and Striker, but we'll see how things roll out.

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Dead by Daylight and Smite

We did have work today, and while not as great a shift as last night, it was good to have work. The final question on the study is questionable in what are they looking to be asked as it doesn't make any sense.

Finished the Fairy Tail story to complete that commission, getting it over 4000 words was pretty cool. Already started the next story in the commission queue which a NCAA related one, and I get to make some references to things in the recent sport news.

Finished series ten of Red Dwarf, and once again Rimmer gets to save the day, which has to be a tradition at some point. Looking forward to seeing if his character progression carries over to series eleven.

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Dissent: Survived the Purge to confront a greater peril.
• Instrument of Tragedy: Strode into danger's den and paid the consequences.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore and other notes

Tonight's stream was dedicated to Skullgirls as we worked our way through seven story campaigns (Robo-Fortune, Beowulf, Peacock, Painwheel, Ms. Fortune, Valentine and Double) and one thing I can say for certain is that considering who linked Valentine and Painwheel are, that the later is clearly the game's true protagonist over Filia, since there is a connection between her and Painwheel as well. Now I've made the decision to keep Skullgirls in the line up for next Monday to go through the remaining six story mode characters.

Tomorrow night we're starting up Final Fantasy XIII, now the last time I played the PS3 version was back in December of 2011, so basically I am going itno it blind. But I do got a lead on an old school strategy guide which could come in handy.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on 13babybear13 who was playing Lego Star Wars; The Skywalker Saga

We did have work today, and the assignment was focused on the Special Election up in New York to replace George Santos, kind of interesting to hear what folks read, saw and heard about the two candidates.

Did a fair amount of writing today, but could not finish the commission story based on Fairy Tail. It is about 50% finish give or take.

Part of why was because I was waiting for the delivery of two backup keyboards considering the one I use was acting wonky recently. Better to be prepared.

So while I was waiting I watched most of Series 10 of Red Dwarf, and I rather like how Lister has evolved a bit as a character. Also the episode titled Lemons was fucking awesome!
