Overwatch 2 and other notes

Overwatch 2 tonight was solid for the most part, as PandaSweet and I won a lot more than we lost, some matches did features some people clearly intent on losing just because it was 'Quick Play'. Playing off the TV instead of the monitor proved to be a world of different in terms of being able to aim about 13% better than I do normally with the likes of Cassidy and Widowmaker.

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night we're back to Grandia as we look to real the major story point which is climbing the End of the World. 

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

Played some RetroMania and knocked out several achievements, mostly to keep a current streak going.

Finished the WWE commission earlier this morning which I meant to do last night. Also got started on a Star Wars related one

I got remember to get get snacks when I do groceries, it just never occurs to me until long after the fact.

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight we picked things up in the Dom Ruins and went all the way to Luc Village, so we ended up with three story related achievements. We also took the big approach of using the magic abilities as much as possible since Justin, Sue and Feena now all have two sets of powers each, which meant drawing some battles out longer than necessary. I am also painfully aware that I missed a Mana egg, so I need to really be thorough in looking for the remaining ones as we go forward, mostly to ensure that Justin and Feena have all four power sets each

Grandia will be back on Monday's stream

Tomorrow night Overwatch 2 is our featured content

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

Recorded this week's episode of the Daria's Reactions covering the episode 'Fair Enough', it will be on the YouTube Channel on Wednesday 

Going to work on that WWE commission, it's about 50% finished

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

Finally saw the plot progress in God Eater Resurrection and it turns out there might be a whole in-game conspiracy that someone wanting Lidlow taken out. I am interested in seeing where that goes. However, I was not keen in having to get through three missions basically solo with Alisa basically being extremely passive and making me a city duck. The third once against a giant scorpion was a real pain in the ass.

We did do the stream off the television instead of one of the monitors on my desk, and I think things worked out. I still won't be looking directly at the camera during the gaming, but at the very least I'm not looking down at the down. Des mean I have to raise my chair up because of where I had to move my webcam. 

God Eater Resurrection will return next Friday night

Tomorrow night we're playing Grandia

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Wutheringe Waves

Work was alright outside of one asshole who was Trump supporter

Finished one WWE commission and now I got another one to work on, which should be do able and knocked out during the day tomorrow

Did a little weed pulling and my legs got bit by something... grr

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

We accomplished what we set out to do this evening which was to make it to Feena's hosue and then rescue her from the wedding to Pakon before setting out towards the Dom Ruins. We have slayed over 300 enemies so far, so getting 1000 enemies slain by the end of the game feels totally doable. We left off in the Dom ruins as it was getting late and Iv'e been waking up super early the past few days

Granida will return on Saturday's stream

Tomorrow's stream will feature God Eater Resurrection

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

Work was alight, just solid.

Still waiting to see what the quarterly tax payments on my house is going to be....

Finished the Legend of Korra story commission and got started on the next one which is WWE realted. It's about 40% complete

• Brutal Slayer: Defeat 300 monsters.

Smite and other notes

We ended up winning 5 out of 7 matches in Smite tonight, and possibly should have won 6 if a little more caution was used. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun!

Next Wednesday will most likely feature Sea of Thieves

Tomorrow night we're playing Gradia!

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out Stream

Work was solid as we closed out an assignment

Still waiting to see what the property taxes will be on my home for the next year

Did some yard work, but because of that, didn't get as much writing done on the Legend of Korra commission. Will finish that tomorrow

We got a minor heatwave going on, tomorrow it might be near 100 degrees... 

I am seeing the problem with Stargate SG-1 Season 9 and it really comes down to how the character of Colonel Mitchell is shoehorned in as the leader when he should have been someone learning the ropes.

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Tonight we covered two major story arcs in Grandia, one getting the steamer pass and second dealing with the Ghost Ship, which means we had the big moment were Justin tried to ditch Sue and meeting Feena. We left off after arriving in New Parm and meeting the goof that runs the Adventurer's Society. Next time we play Grandia it will be to get to Feena's house and basically rescue her from her forced wedding, which should be a lot of fun.

Also made sure to get the best possible gear because I remember the road to Feena's home being a pain to get through!

Grandia will return on Thursday

Tomorrow night we are playing Smite, holding off on Sea of Thieves this week

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

Work was okay-ish, good, but not great

Finished the Kingdom Hearts story commission , making it five stories written in five days. Next one is Legend of Korra related

Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Playing Grandia again is always awesome, and at the very least, being familiar with the game allows me to show off a little in terms of going after every enemy as I see them in order to try to level up quickly as well as master abilities, since in Grandia, the more you use an ability the faster it will be executed in later battles. Really love the dynamic with Justin and Sue.

We basically knocked out all the introduction and opening set up, went the Sult Ruins, met Liete and set the tone. I was feeling a little worn down so we ended the stream a bit early.

We shall continue Grandia tomorrow night with the next objective being to get the Steamer Pass

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

Work was alright, solid but not overly awesome

Watching Stargate SG-1 season 9 and I can't but laught at how the Ori are basically being presented as the Catholic Church

Finished the WWE commission in one shot today, next story is Kingdom Hearts related which might take two days to write depending on when I wake up
