Sea of Thieves and other notes

 Iceman and I had a real wild night of Sea of Thieves with a lot of loot found, combat and general hilarity. We came close to sinking an enemy vessel but we both boarded it but it's all good.

Also had a new dedicated headset for when doing voice chat on the XBox Consoles, and the real issue I have is balancing the audio mix on the console. 

Sea of Thieves is slated to return next Wednesday

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama

Was expecting THunderstorms but I guess it just missed my area

Work was super solid this evening, as I was over production.

The Resident Evil commission is still in progress, it probably will be finished by Friday as I was given a cap of 10,000 words.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We advance the plot quite a bit, seeing that Johnny Blaze has the missing page, we got the Darkchyld armor and rescued Wanda. Plus picked up the last of Storm's not Challenge Missions achievements. Rest of the way I'm probably going to be making sure to include Storm, Venom, Deadpool and Morbius to get their friendship levels up so their challenge missions can be knocked, since there are achievements associated with them.

Also need to make sure when Spider-Man, Magik or Captain Marvel are leading side missions to try spread things out to ensure another achievement is done.  

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday

Tomorrow's stream will feature Sea of Thieves or Smite, depending on Iceman's availability 

For the raid we dropped in on MST3K during the airing of Last of the Wild Horses

Work was really good, but I felt my voice starting to wain a bit late in the shift

The heat today really made it tough to write as I only got part of what I wanted done for this Resident Evil story done... tomorrow should be a better day

Picked up volume 12 of the Persona 5 Manga

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Shocking Development: Stun 4 enemies with Storm abilities in a single turn.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We got fair bit done in Midnight Suns tonight, advancing the plot a bi while knocking out various achievements, and we offically broke past the 1000 gamer score thanks to doing the DLC content. Also hit max friendship with Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. Wolverine being apart of the crew is a cool addition.

Still having trouble figuring out how to do Storm's stun for enemies with abilities in a single turn.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return tomorrow

For the raid we dropped in on  tokushoutsu to watch some Kamen Rider

Work was so good we ended early case we closed the assignment

It's 83 degrees right now which means it will be torture trying to fall asleep

The Camden County Munipal Ultities Authority jacked up its rates and I'm not happy about that

Knocked out the Spider-Man commission request in one day, and the results were... mixed I feel. Next up is a large scale Resident Evil story that will take a few days to write. 

Spoke with Kristi this morning, it was great chatting with her

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Kitchen Sink: Used 5 environmentals in a single turn.
  • Time to Make the Chimichangas!: Reach maximum En Fuego with Deadpool.
  • It's All Connected: Modify 5 general missions using the Whisper Web.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of tonight's fun in Overwatch, even if we dealt with some of the dumbest people possible at times. Finally got the Focused achievement as Echo, which does make it two weeks in a row I have an achievement in the game as someone I normally don't play as. Other characters used with Brigitte, Tracer, Reaper, D.va, Reinhart, Moira among others. 

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday, and we might try to actually put in Smite depending on if I knock out some some of next week's challenges before hand.

Tomorrow night we're back to Marvel's Midnight Sun

For the raid we dropped in on  samaell_alwahm who was playing Zenless Zone Zero

Worked on trimming branches this morning before it started raining... but the aftermath of the rain is that things are super humid.

Knocked out the AEW commission request and next up is a fairly long Spider-Man one that involves a few different short scenes. Going to start on that before I go to sleep

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Focused: Earn 2 killing blows with a single use of Echo’s Focusing Beam in Quick or Competitive Play.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream of Marvel's Midnight Suns saw us wrap up the DLC story content which involved Slaying Dracula. Actually had to do the final fight twice because I got overwhelmed in the first attempted and had some bad draws. We continued the main plot which included having Wolverine join and the Hunter being cemented as the official leader to put an end to all the squabbles.

Midnight Suns will return on Monday's stream.

Tomorrow night we'll be opening things with Overwatch 2, with a possibility of Smite

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

I saw the footage of the so-called 'assassination attempt' on Donald Trump, that was obviously staged because no one after getting shot is going to start screaming to 'fight'.  

Got a good chunk of the AEW story commission written, will be working on this after this is posted.

You know what's weird? There are a couple of Popeye shorts where he and Bluto are almost friendly towards each other until Olive Oyl shows up.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • A Shining Light: Reached maximum Light Balance.
  • Not a Scratch: Completed a general mission where no hero takes Health damage.
  • What's In This, Anyway?: Apply stat modifications to 5 different heroes using the Laboratory.
  • Beyond Biochemistry: Complete all Morbius Research.
  • Dracula's Tomb: Complete the Dracula Tomb's mission.
  • Blood Storm: Complete all Storm story missions.

J-Stars Victory Vs and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up the pretty much everything doable in J-Stars Victory Vs on a single dedicated play-through without feeling burnt out. Rather disappointed there was not a proper end game boss to fight, instead its a fight against a duplicate of our story mode main characters. Still we had a good time with it, 

I kind of wished I looked into the Customize trophy weeks ago because I suspect I could have had more of advantage, but oh well. We'll revisit J-Stars Victory Vs down the road, as I do feel I can bang out the remaining trophies over time, which includes 3 additional campaigns, defeating 10 Korrin tower opponents and Completing Victory Road.

Starting next Friday God Eater Resurrection will be featured as out PS4 game

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on TheReal_Slim_Katie who was playing Elden Ring

Work was a slog, only one interview... could've had two, but the person bailed on me with two questions left...

Finished the Star Wars commission story, came up less than 4000 words, but I finally got a Twitch Payout, so that's an extra bit I was not counting on. Next on my commission list is an AEW story

J-STARS Victory VS+ Trophies

  • Unto the Final Battle: Upgrade your Jump Ship to its final form in J-Adventure mode.
  • Ruler of the World: Clear 1 story arc in J-Adventure mode.
  • Thar Be Treasure!: Find 1 piece of submerged treasure in J-Adventure mode.

  • Born to Customize: Create all 6 combination bonus lines when customizing your J-Stars card deck.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

 We got a lot done as it relates to DLC in Marvel's Midnight Suns, completing Morbius and Venom's story, encountered Dracula and got a step closer to finishing Storms. As a side adventure it doesn't derail too much from the main story of the game, and serves as a nice way to have the addition DLC characters fit in. Also we got a lot of a achievements and are making good progress to make sure we'll be able to do damn near everything!

 Marvel Midnight Suns will return on Saturday

 Tomorrow night we're playing J-Stars Victory Vs

 For the raid we dropped in on abenonymous who was playing Need for Speed

Took something to ease the pain in my ankle and it KO'ed me, ended up starting work a half hour late...

Work itself was solid, and I was able to make up for it.

Got a large portion of the Star Wars commission done, just not as much as I would have liked, but I knew this story would take more than a standard amount of time

  • Did We Just Become Best Friends?: Reached the maximum Friendship Level with any hero.
  • Collateral Damage: KO'd 4 enemies with a single environmental.
