Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

Tonight's stream saw us get a lot done in Persona 5 Tactica, rescuing Erina, seeing Toshiro unlock his Persona and seeing Lavenza arrive on train. Thanks to some off stream grinding, we're way more over powered that one would assume, but the cost trying to keep up with the fusion combinations as well as trying to get 50 weapons from the shop has made things a bit harder, but we're on track to basically have all but a couple of achievements by the time we finish the game. We also knocked out all the quests, so all that is left is the main story

Next time Persona 5 Tactica is on the agenda will be on Thursday night with the possibility of finishing that night, but I suspect there is going to be some long cut scenes.

Wednesday's stream is currently slated to featured Journey to the Savage Planet as Iceman and I resume looking for stuff to get as many achievements as we can out of that game.

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Stylish Synergy: Performed an All-Out Attack 50 times.
• Metaverse Aristocrat: Accumulated 666,666 yen.
• Walk Your Own Path: Used unique skills 50 times.
• Those That Conquer Their Past: Defeated the third Kingdom's boss.
• Ultimate Strike: Dealt 2,000 damage in a single attack.
• Conqueror of Kingdoms: Completed all quests.

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Smite 

Work was solid, even if there was an oddness to my schedule hours.

Currently in the middle of writing a Spider-Man related commission request, which is probably about 60% finish. I will be working on that before going to sleep.

See ya!

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

We had an interesting night of Persona 5 Tactica, while we didn't finish the 3rd Kingdom, we did learn that Toshiro and Eri were basically like the Phantom Thieves, but circumstances really turned dire for them in a rather shocking way. We all have every Persona up to level 71 fused (I believe), and discovered that grinding for levels and currency is going to be pretty straight forward i I really want to chase different achievements.

We shall continue Persona 5 Tactica on Tuesday's stream

For the raid we went over to Calyria who was playing a point and click game called Shardlight 

Work was solid tonight, getting to interview a few people, even if I got confirmation people in and around Tennessee's Knox County are a collective bunch of fucking idiots.

The Christmas gifts for my niece's arrived today... also picked up a elliptical pedal device to put to use a couple of times a day given how often I'm at my desk.

Currently in the middle of writing a WWE related commission, which is turning out to be quite mediocre... I really really hate taking on those commissions.

At least following it I have one based around Spider-Man, Mass Effect, Resident Evil and Dragon Ball to work on!

Good night folks!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was pretty solid, big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun. I picked up two plays of the game, one as Echo and one as Brigitte. In addition I played as Kiriko, Junker Queen, Reaper, Torbjourn, Mei, Soldier 76, Junkrat, Hanzo, Ana and a few others. Certainly trying to use a variety of characters in addition to my mains.

Our next stream will featured Persona 5 Tactica as we pick up things in the 3rd Kingdom. Also did a bit of achievement hunting in the game as well as seeing how one could grind levels and cash quickly.

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Ride, Johanna!: Pulled enemies into Vortex with Makoto 20 times.
• Sleep Craftsman: Inflicted Sleep using fusion weapons 20 times.

For the raid we dropped in on elegantlyslays who was playing Friday the 13th The Game

Knocked out a pretty good commission story based around Star Wars, and th next one on the docket is (sigh) WWE related, not sure if I'll try and get that to 3000 words.

I do know this, once Horizon Zero Dawn is finished Alan Wake Remaster will be the next PlayStation 4 game featured on Friday nights.

That said, once I'm finished with Persona 5 Tactica, it'll be followed by Stray!

Hopefully we'll have work all this week, fingers crossed on that

Have a good night!

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

Today was a bit if a struggle as I continue to deal with various stages of a cold, snuff nose, headaches and stuff. I am trying not to go all in on self-medicating as that is what landed me in the hospital several years ago... and I don't have mom to help me balance things 

Tonight's stream of Persona 5 Tactica lasted a good long while as we wrapped up the second kingdom, and I was right that Yuki was Toshiro's mother, and everything surrounding her death hit way too close to home for me, and yes I was crying a bit because I was reminded about my mom. We left off somewhere in the middle of the third kingdom, where we learned that Erina is actually a representation of Eri, a girl Toshiro knew during his school days, and we have over 60% of the compendium filled.

Next time we play Persona 5 Tactica will be on Monday's stream.

Our next stream will feature Overwatch 2

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Wipe Them Out, Goemon!: Inflicted Freeze on enemies with Yusuke 20 times.
• Well Traveled: Traversed 10,000 squares.
• You're Wide Open!: Triggered One More 200 times.
• A Bright Future Ahead: Defeated the second Kingdom's boss.

For the raid we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing XCOM 2 

So CM Punk is back in the WWE... hell froze over I guess

Currently in the middle of writing a Star Wars fic to fulfill a commission request, kind of hard to do when I don't fully know what one character looks like.

And the racist trolls on Ao3 continue to amuse me on a daily basis.

Good night folks!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Tonight's stream of Horizon Zero Dawn saw a big focus on the side quests as well as pushing forward on the main story, as we learned about what lead to do the down fall of civilization along with saving Meridian, the largest city in the game. Also learned and realized I missed several items that were necessary to a side quest in getting a particular armor set, but I'm not going to stress over that.

Horizon Zero Dawn will be featured next Friday night.

Our next stream will feature Persona 5 Tactica as I do believe we are close to finishing the second kingdom, and if the Persona compendium is any indication, we're possibly close to half way finish the game.

For the raid, we visited Wilveren who was playing Mega Man 3

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• 7 types of machine overridden: Unlocked and used the overrides for 7 different types of machine.
• Learned of the ancient past: Learned of the ancient past at Maker's End.
• Saved Meridian from its foe: Helped Erend investigate Ersa's fate, and foiled a plot against Meridian.
• All machines catalogued: Encountered and Focus scanned every type of machine. 

Currently in the middle of writing a commission story based around WWE in the 2010s, and it's certainly a 'get it done' type of story.

I am laughing my ass off over how openly racist people are on Ao3 towards the pairing of Mary Jane Watson and Miles Morales 

Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow!

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

 Got a very late invite to go over to my brother's mother-in-law's place for Thanksgiving dinner and I didn't see the message until like 6 hours after he sent it. He was kind enough to bring me a plate, and I was able to give my niece her present for her birthday last month.

We started the stream early and ran for 5 hours, as we got a lot done in Persona 5 Tactica (as proven by the achievement list for tonight. Near as I can tell we are close to finishing the the second kingdom arc, and what is impressing me about this story overall is that it seems to have the same vibe as Labrys's story in Persona 4 Arena, which only makes sense to me with how everything revolves around Toshiro coming to terms with things the way Labrys did.

Next time we play P5T will be on Saturday, as we'll start early-ish on Friday night to continue and knock out a lot of stuff in Horizon Zero Dawn

For the way we found someone else playing P5T in the form of neperrati, they were still in the First Kingdom portion of the story

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Take That Treasure, Kidd!: Inflicted Shock on enemies with Ryuji 20 times.
• Dance, Carmen!: Inflicted Burn on enemies with Ann 20 times.
• Close-Quarters Offensive: Performed 100 melee attacks.
• Bewitch Them, Milady!: Hypnotized enemies with Haru 20 times.
• Novice Craftsman: Fused weapons 10 times. 

 Currently working on a commission request based around Rooster Teeth... and it's really paper thin in terms of plot because there's really not much I can do based on the characters I'm tasked to use.

I did take advantage of sales to nab a few things dirt cheap on the gaming side, including  the upgrade to the complete edition of Terminator: Resistance, the DLC for TMNT_ Shredder's Revenge, the upgrade to the Special Edition for Dragon Ball The Breakers, as well as Resident Evil 3 (Remake), XIII, Flashback and the 360 version of Alan Wake

Also did some grocery shopping, getting more fruits and vegetables... too bad the instacart shopper picked some things that were expired.

Good night!

Journey to the Savage Planet and other notes

Tonight, Iceman and I were focused on finding all the collectable items in the Landing Area of Journey to the Savage Planet, being rather successful, in addition to finding a teleporter we missed. In general we have covered well over 70% of what can be found in the game (if I did my math right). We still have more orange goop, alloys and other goodies to find in the remaining areas, but we have narrowed things down considerably!

Currently Joruney to the Savage Planet is scheduled for next Wednesday!

Tomorrow's stream will feature Persona 5 Tactica and we'll be starting fairly early to take advantage of the multiple day weekend

Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition Achievements

• Cannibals: Bait 5 creatures into attacking each other. Divide and conquer: Classic strat.

For the raid we went over to Zonesama for some retro television!

Currently working on a commission story based around Jimmy Neutron, finding a continuity point to age up the characters was interesting for a franchise that stayed static. Was asked to get it between 4000 and 5000 words, and it's going to be a stretch to reach that range.

Set up the Christmas Tree in the basement, it's exactly how mom left it when she set up in the living room last year.

Have a good night!
