Grandia HD Collection and other notes

We accomplished what we set out to do in climbing the End of the World which end up being a lot more stress free than one would assume or as I remembered, This means we are closing in on the half-way point of the game, because we met Gadwin who basically exists to add a bit of over powered muscle to the party for a short while... which also means we're closing in saying good-bye to Sue/

Now I first played Grandia way back in 2000, and it occurred to me tonight that Sue getting separated from Justin and Feena after climbing the wall is intentional to put a larger level gap between her and them. so whenever she gets hit by stronger enemies it really looks like she is struggling, a fact proven when one enemy took off 75% of her health. I get it, it's to stress that she is a little kid and make her seem like a liability, but considering she's been my heavy hitter it a bitter pill to swallow

Tomorrow's Stream: Grandia

Tonight's Raid: ashre_l
Playing: Spyro The Dragon

Got a notation from the Bureau of Housing ordering me to fix the fence which has not been an issue  ever since some cunt ran into several years ago. The timing of that in relation to finally seeing what my property taxes are going to look like is rather suspicious.

Because of this stress, I didn't get all the writing I had planned done but will have the Star Wars commission finished tomorrow

Of course before I do that I need to go to the bank and do a withdraw because of the fence fiasco

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

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

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

Grandia HD Collection Achievements

• Brutal Slayer: Defeat 300 monsters.
• Professional On Board: Become adventurers with Feena.

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
