Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us knock out all of chapter six in fairly straight forward fashion, having only suffered one defeat against a Wyvern, while having little trouble with the end of chapter boss fight against Enki and Enlil (thankfully the guide gave me a good idea of what I needed to do). Sazh's backstory with his son and how it connects Vanille has me eagerly wanting to see how that falls out. We did 'start' chapter seven, getting the achievement for it because of the cut scene, but we'll do it on Thursday's stream. If I'm reading the guide correctly, the half way point of the game and when it opens up at  the end of Chapter 10. 

Tomorrow night's stream is slated to feature Sea of Thieves, if Iceman is unable to join us, Smite is our alternate game.

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

Work tonight was odd as our system broke down towards the end of the shift, so things ended earlier than I would have liked. 

Was in the mood for something different so I did a DoorDash order from McDonalds... and they got my drink wrong, and that double Big Mac was quite a disappointment. It was a firm reminder as to why I prefer Wendy's and Checkers.

Knocked out the Star vs The Forces of Evil commission, and now the next story on the docket is Resident Evil related.

Need to find a show to watch after doing my Red Dwarf watch through.... rather it not be an hour long show.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore and other notes

Tonight's stream of Skullgirls saw us getting through five of the six story modes, all that is left is Black Dahlia, which we'll have to save for next Monday. The amount of dialog exchanges that takes place in the stories for Squibbly, Big Band, and Eliza really drew things out, then Umbrella and Annie's were voiced. Still is was a solid night, and I don't have to consider changing the weekly line up. We also picked up a new follower because we were playing Skullgirls which was awesome.

Tomorrow night we're back to Final Fantasy XIII with the start of chapter six!

For tonight's raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Work was solid tonight, knocked out several interviews on a study covering issues up in North Jersey

Finished my watch through of Red Dwarf, and the Promise Land movie was awesome. The moonlight scene with Lister and Rimmer was very touching.

Finished the WWE related story early in the morning and got to work on the Star vs The Forces of Evil commission, and I'm about 30% done writing it. Basically in the middle of its action sequences.

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.

 Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• 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.
