Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was extended by an hour just so we could keep track of the Super Bowl, and we had a lot of fun. Big thanks to PandaSweet for bbeing apart of the action this evening. Played as Junker Queen, Brigitte, Moira, Tracer, Ashe and a few others. We did a few ranked matches this evening as well, mostly to wrap up a weekly challenge.

Tomorrow night we're doing one more stream of Skullgirls 2nd Encore, to complete the Story Mode for Black Dahlia, and we'll do various other things in the game, arcade runs, challenges and whatever else.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on smoresdafloof who was playing League of Legends. It was their first stream in quite a few years! 

Did an hour of grinding in Final Fantasy XIII last night to complete the current skill tress for Lightning, Hope, Fang and Snow

Finished the Spider-Man commission this afternoon, getting it to 3000 words which allowed me to order some pizza tonight.

Next story on my commission docket is WWE related... in fact the next three stories are all WWE related... so that's going to be a struggle.

And congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs for winning the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII was heavily focused on chapter eight which should at most take maybe ninety minutes to get through, but I was focused on  grinding CP, knowing where there was a spot where I could farm 640 to 2200 CP, so we spent a couple of hours going back and forth, putting us in a good spot to fill be ahead of where the strategy guide indicated where we should be heading into chapter nine. 

 We ended the stream in a spot where we can do some more CP farming, which I might do off-stream in preparation for Tuesday's stream since Hope, Fang and Lightning are pretty much going to be the main core of the rest of the game.

Tomorrow night, we're playing Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama who was playing SimCity 2000 

Got a fair amount of writing done on a Spider-Man commission request which had a rather convoluted setup, I'll be working on it for the majority of the rest of the night.

Not much else on the way of notes for today, as it was basically a chill day, all though the increase in temperature outside caught me by surprise.

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Wrath: Took the fight to the enemy's door.

Ghost of Tushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima saw me mostly roaming around, finding a few collectable locations along with doing a few side quests, such as wrecking a Shipyard, assisting a character who was looking for the bodies of their sons at the site of the game's opening battle and other a bit of progression into a couple of story arcs that are optional.We did not get any trophies this week.

Tomorrow night we're back to Final Fantasy XIII with Chapter 8, and I do intend to find a spot where apparently we can grind for a lot of CP

For the raid we dropped in on djparticle who was playing Splatoon 3.

We had no work tonight, but I was told we could expect something for Monday

Finished a WWE related commission request, and the next one on my docket is Spider-Man related which I'll be working on over the weekend.

Still have had no luck in finding something to watch when I'm making / having lunch.

Also stepped on a scale.. and yikes... back up to the upper 270s

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII certainly took longer than I expected to get through Chapter 7, but we were able to do it in about five hours, putting us in a good spot tackle Chapter 8 and farm the hell out CP on Saturday's stream. Which may not make for exciting content, but by my count I'm kind of a head in terms of the Skill Trees in having everything below the cost of 900 CP unlocked on every character. Now I understand getting mastery on everything is only possible in the post-game, but given my history with Final Fantasy games in general, I want to have every possible advantage I can get!

By the way I fully endorse the shipping of Fang and Lightning

Also I think I tracked down the physical strategy guides for Final Fantasy XII-2 and Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, as I really do intend to do the entire trilogy.

Big thanks to Oldish22 for the raid!

For my own raid we dropped in on neperrati who was playing Persona 3 Reload, a firm reminder that I need to play Persona 4 Golden as part of this year's line up for games.Come to think of it, with all the larger scale games I want to play this year, it'll be amazing on if I even manage to get to 30 games finished on this years tour!

Friday night's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushuma (Speaking of large games that will take awhile)

We didn't have work tonight, but I didn't start the stream until after 9 PM, just to stay in rhythm. We're waiting on an assignment at the moment.

Finished the Resident Evil commission request, and I wasn't to pleased with how it turned out, and I got started on working on a commission story based around WWE, which at this point is maybe about 35% finished. 

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Shame: Carried the burden of guilt to the end of the line.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Striker and Iceman join in as we replaced part of the quest we were working on last week to finish it and then we continued on to the next chapter, tracking down Captain Jack Sparrow. We also found a underwater treasure haul and got a ton of loot! All in all a great time on the high seas!

Tomorrow night we're resuming Final Fantasy XIII picking up on Chapter 7 

Big thanks to IntergalaticPants for the raid tonight!

For our own raid we dropped in on zdleague who was playing Bend and the Ink Machine

Work was okay tonight as we were trying to close out an assignment that is focused on things up in North Jersey, ran into too many folks who didn't speak English.

Currently working on a Resident Evil related commission request, which is going to end up more plot heavy than anything else as I need to write out Nemesis and Mr. X

Saw the new skins coming to the next Overwatch battle pass and the Moira one looks really cool. And if they are doing a Cowboy Bebop crossover, I may be really interested in that.

Sea of Thieves Achievements

• The Sunken Pearl: You completed 'The Sunken Pearl'.
• Captains of the Damned: You completed 'Captains of the Damned'.

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.

Final Fantasy XIII Achievements

• Instrument of Survival: Evaded pursuers, though memories of the past still gave chase.
• Instrument of Rebellion: Made plans to infiltrate enemy-occupied territory

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.
