South Park Snow Day and other notes

We started South Park Snow Day this evening and from I can tell, it's a fairly short game, but visually it's stunning, there is a low of effort to translate the 2D world of the cartoon to a 3D Environment, all the character models look great.

On the Easy difficulty it certainly presents a fair challenge, but with multiplayer active, it because a total cakewalk. I think we'll do tomorrow on Normal difficulty with the open party from the start. Or I can solo it and try and get three streams out of this game.

But yup, We'll continue South Park Snow Day tomorrow night

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

Work started off slow, but picked up towards the end of my shift.

Going to be working on the Star Wars commission request, got a fair amount done during the day but not as much as I would like

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was interesting, with the April Fools 'Balance Overwatch Mode', along with some highly questionable teammates in standard Quick Play. Couple of matches were so bad, I checked out of it, But on the plus side were joined by PandaSweet who got a new gaming rig!

Also managed to get the voice lines of Ashe yelling 'Fred' instead of Bob, because of course I would want to use them for my stream. 

Big thank you to those who re-subscribed to my Twitch channel! Greatly appreciate it!

Tomorrow night we're starting South Park Snow Day, and I learned that there is no crossplay for it. I could have sworn it was hyped with having crossplay.

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

Had a really wonky night after last night's stream, had a hard time just sitting down and feeling all ramped up

Finished the My Hero Academia commission story just before tonight's stream, next up is a Star Wars related one

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League and other notes

Tonight's stream ended up having the entire first hour talking about wrestling before we started messing with Suicide Squad, mostly doing random stuff and teaming with random players. Things started getting wonky around 9:30 PM with some server issues.

The Spring 'Easter' skins for the main squad are... interesting with Harley's being the best.

Didn't particularly care for the Green Lantern version of the Brainiac fight, while it has the same gimmick as the story version, I did discover there is a major glitch if you're in the wrong spot during an in-fight cut scene, as I got stuck running place.

Tomorrow night we'll be playing Overwatch 2.

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

Took it easy today and rested for the most part.

Going to be working on the My Hero Academia related story, got a good start on it already earlier today after figuring out how I want to approach it since I've never read the manga or seen the anime.

Happy birthday to my cousin Rachel!

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima saw more side adventures with a bit of story advancement. Fell off a cliff a few times, but ended up getting on armor that required liberating six farms. Still have to learn one more technique to complete a series of side objectives. Also learned the locations of two duels that will lead lead to a major combat move.

I figure next week I'll work on covering the west side of the map, making sure we don't miss anything along the way.

Tomorrow night we're playing Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League with the goal of teaming with randoms.

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Genshin Impact.

We had work this evening, it was not quite as super hot as the last two nights, but we hit the target I was looking for at least

There was apparently an Earthequake today at 10:30 AM here in New Jersey... I didn't feel it, but my cousin who lives in Philadelphia says they felt it.

Finished the WWE commission fic and now have started work on my first commission that involves My Hero Academia

Grabbed a steak sandwich from Donkey's Place today... it was quite delicious!

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

  • Monochrome Masters: Purchase an item from the Black and White Dye Merchants.
  • Know Your Enemy: Collect 20 Mongol artifacts.

Sea of Thieves

Tonight Iceman and I focused on finding loot on various islands, nearly getting sunk by an enemy ship once and being chased by a giant shark several times. We did pick up an achievement which keeps my current streak going.

We also bad an adjustment to out Fantasy Baseball squad, potentially adding a pitcher or at the very least position player after dropping someone who won't be available until after the All Star Break

Tomorrow we shall resume Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, with a good chance of finishing it

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for Zone-One Just Chatting stream

We did have work tonight, and it was a rather wordy assignment considering the nature of the questions asked.

Finished the NFL related SubscribeStar Tier story early in the morning and started work on a WWE related one, which might take two days to write depending on when I wake up tomorrow.

Recorded my reaction to episode 4 of season 1 of Daria, it iwll be live on the YouTube channel next Wednesday

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes

During tonight's stream of Lego Batman 2, I learned that we cannot swap to other characters until after the story is finished, and that the game basically because a Superman / Batman adventure, as Robin is basically forgotten about as it relates to the plot. We got through a few chapters, and I can safely say, this game has the best depiction of Superman in that yeah he's invulnerable but if a villain plans for his weaknesses he has to rely on others.

Batman however, is still a dick.

Lego Batman 2 will return on Thursday's stream where we might possibly finish the main story

Tomorrow's stream will feature Sea of Thieves, at least that is the plan!

For the raid we dropped in on bluegriffin02 who was also playing Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

We didn't have work, as an assignment was supposed to start today, but instead was pushed back a day.

Nearly finished the NFL commission fic, had a bit of wonky afternoon that delayed things. Going to work on that before going to sleep

Grabbed something from Blowin Smoque for dinner, I wonder if they have stuff that I can divide into multiple meals.

I'm down to the final two achievements needed to 'complete' Suicide Squad, which involves leveling up to Squad Rank 50 (I'm like at 38/39) and getting a complete Tier 3 set of gear equipped, which is going to be tough

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Achievements

  • The Final Frontier: Complete an Incursion Mission at Mastery level 20


LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Achievements

  • Destination Metropolis: Complete story level 8
  • Research and Development: Complete story level 9
