Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight's stream of Persona 4 Golden saw the big trip to Tatsumi Port Island, and I was baffled by the fact the class was put up in a Love Hotel and that members of the main cast got 'drunk', even though it was said they were not having alcoholic beverages. I suspect that was something changed for the North American release as underage drinking is frowned upon. Not sure I buy the 'drunk off the atmosphere' reason.

Still we got several things accomplished in terms of social links and building up to Naoto's ill-advised plan to get themselves thrown into the TV, so we worked our way to where our next stream will be focused on searching for Quest Items , dealing with a mini-boss and rescuing her.

Persona 4 Golden will return on Saturday's stream with the focus being on dungeon crawling for quest items, a bonus boss and rescuing Naoto

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their Final Fantasy XIV stream

Tomorrow's stream will featuring J-Stars Victory Vs

For the raid we dropped in on moonlitsoju who was also playing Persona 4 Golden

Work was real solid this evening, less asshole than last night.

Knocked out the Legend of Korra related commission of the course of today, always nice when I can bang something out quickly. Next is a WWE related story

Wanted something from WaWa via Doordash and they forgot my hoagie! Good thing I got a refund for it.

Finally have 300 'confirmed' wins in MultiVersus, remaining achievements are related mostly to getting different time of eliminations... and playing paired with a person.

Considering getting myself an Over the Air Attenda for one of my TVs, might be able to get a good bargain on one

MultiVersus Achievements

• The Throne Is Yours: Win 300 matchmade games

Sea of Thieves and other notes,

Totally tired so this is going to be short.

Iceman and I had a fun session of Sea of Thieves, as we got a fair bit done in terms of finding loot, even if our ship was sunk on our way back to port.

Sea of Thieves will return next Wednesday 

Tomorrow night we return to Persona 4 Golden as we make out way towards Naoto's dungeon.

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama

Work was okay, it did drag a bit because some people were rather rude

Finished the NFL/WWE related story commission, next up is a Legend of Korra related one

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight's stream of Persona 4 Golden was basically the entire Summer Vacation stuff, with the beach, festival and fireworks segments, which basically serve as a nice break before the second half of the game.

Probably the real highlight was Kanji during the beach day, as he stole the scene again. We did romanced Chie, since we were following a guide and nice Naoto becomes an option way to late.

Next time we play we'll be building up towards the next case, we do got several days of events to cover, and hopefully I'll be able to get Hemit caught up.

Persona 4 Golden is slated to return on Thursday's stream

Tomorrow night we have wither Smite of Sea of Thieves, depending on Iceman's availability.

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Overwatch 2

Work was solid today, granted it was a hospital related research assignment but at least no politics

Didn't do any writing as I rested up after feeling so out of it on Monday, will be working on a story tomorrow that's WWE related 

Did get an achievement in MultiVersus and there are only 5 more to get

MultiVersus Achievements

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

Tonight was one of those nights where I felt very tired... and with good reason, I've been up since 3 AM.

Anyway, we completed the Void dungeon to capture Mitsuo and saw how Rise is just as bad  of a cook as Chie and Yukiko ... and poor little Nanako saying what their made was edible. It's no one everyone gets real protective regarding her.

On the plus side I realized the only Social Link I really screwed up was Hermit, which is tied to specific side quests for the Fox.  There will be an opportunity to take full advantage of it 

Next time we play we'll be checking out the Midnight channel and building towards the next story arc which should focus on Naoto. 

Persona 4 Golden will return tomorrow night

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

Work was solid, no complaints other than how amazingly rude some people cam people

Finished the WWE short story commission... and used the payment for it to grab something from Checkers 

Short notes because I'm going to bed within 10 minutes of posting this

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

• Game Over: Secure Mitsuo Kubo

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was one to forget as I was flying solo the entire time and my tendency to check out of matches ended up being a highlight. I did focus on using characters I've rarely used. 

I did distract myself by having Spotify on to singing along to the music which certainly made the night move faster.

 Overwatch 2 will return Sunday night

Tomorrow night we're back to Persona 4 Golden!

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

Also dived into Persona 4 Golden to figure out how the Reaper gimmick works and safe to say, doing it off stream was for the best because keep tracks of how many chests were open was a pain.

Did a little yard work early this morning, mostly on the sidewalk

Got started on the WWE commission request, took a while to figure out how I wanted the set up to go. Should be able to knock it out during the day tomorrow.

Persona 4 Golden Achievements

• The Reaper Becomes the Reaped: Defeat The Reaper.

 

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We got a a lot done in Persona 4 Golden tonight, acing the Finals, getting some personality categories maxed out, and took advantage of my Social Link screw ups to access the Chagall Cafe and do a little fishing. 

But the big thing we did was grind out levels while looking for items related to side quests in order complete Margaret's Social Link. I did not like doing the Fusion Requests in Persona 3 Portable or Persona 5 Royal, but knowing they were coming meant that I was going to grind as much as possible to ensure we got them done.This has resulted in the Compendium being 72% complete, so that can take a backseat going forward. 

Next time we play we're going to deal with the Copy Cat Killer, going right into the dungeon which should... FINALLY... open the door to Naoto's story arc! 

Persona 4 Golden will return on Monday's stream

Next stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing Fallout 4

This week's line up will be the same as last week

Sunday: Overwatch 2
Monday: Persona 4 Golden
Tuesday: Persona 4 Golden
Wednesday: Sea of Thieves of Smite
Thursday: Persona 4 Golden
Friday: J-Stars Victory Vs
Saturday: Persona 4 Golden

I did go back and forth on including MultiVersus, but Persona 4 is the major priority game.

Need to do some laundry, granted it's mostly shirts and shorts since I don't go anywhere

Finished the Spider-Man commission, next one on my list is a WWE related one. Will start on that before I go to bed and with luck we could bang it out during the day tomorrow

J-STARS Victory VS and other notes

So first impression of J-Stars Victory Vs is that it has a great intro with a full theme that shows off all the characters, but there isn't a tutorial mode. On the other hand it is possible still to get all the online achievements done as I proved, even as I was figuring out the standard controls. There is an arcade mode, but clearly its meant for expert players based on apparent difficulty ratings.All the character models look great in fact I say they look better than Jump Force.

Game-play wise, it's a two on two arena fighter with no tagging in and out but there are assists characters. Every character needs to be unlocked, but to do that you need both in-game currency as well as to level up to have 'room' to recruit people.

Roster is pretty solid with a wide variety of Shonen Jump franchises such as One Piece, Luckyman, Dragon Ball, Naurto and Fist of the North Star. There is no English audio track, so everyone speaks in Japanese.which is fine considering that's how U had the audio set up for Ghost of Tsushima

J-Stars Victory Vs will return next Friday!

Tomorrow night we're playing Persona 4 Golden, hopefully we can get back on track in terms of things getting done correctly.

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV
