Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

The day started with a morning stream a two hour session dedicated to Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Start, where I set a few new personal bests. I did however see how silly I look doing anything physical on camera! We might bring back these morning streams every now and then

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us finally wrap up Chapter 11, and all the heavy level grinding I did off stream certainly help, making sure we were at the maximum possible abilities for my main party, while also putting us in a great position to instantly level up once the 9th tier on the skill tree was unlocked. Thanks to help from one of the viewers, I was able to level up weapons for Fang, Hope and Lightning. so now there is the question of powering up accessories 

Next time we'll play Final Fantasy XIII will be on Saturday's stream, picking up at the first save point of Chapter 12. The march towards victory begins!

Friday night's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima, with the priority being on exploring 

For the raid we dropped in on misscammi316 who was playing Dead by Daylight

We did have work today, so that's good news on the positive front there!

Finished the WWE story commission I had on the docket, and next is a Mass Effect one that may take a day or two to write, depending on the dialog. At the moment that story is maybe 10% complete.

Grabbed dinnerfrom Blowin Smoque, consisting of BBQ chicken, kale greens and candied yams.

Also the strategy guide for Lightning Returns; Final Fantasy XIII arrived... and just looking at it I see that game's mechanics are completely off the rails!

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves saw Iceman and I setting sail, and finding a ton of loot, but with a lot of effort in regards locating various buried treasures on one island. I did get better at using the compass and the map to have a better idea of how to orientate myself to figure out where some things are. We picked up three achievements, however, they have zero gamer score but they are associated stepping on the islands that have outposts.

For the raid we dropped in on intergalacticpants who was playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 

Tomorrow night we're back to Final Fantasy XIII. I did do a ton of grinding, getting up to about 800,000 CP, so we can progress forward with trying to knock out the remainder of Chapter 11, which should open up the 9th tier skill trees.

We had work tonight for the first time since a week prior to last Thursday, it was a bit of a tough night getting back into the swing of things.

So with work back, I didn't finish the story I was working on (another WWE related commission) as I was taking my time writing it  till about 3 PM when i found out there would be work.

The Borderlands movie looks fine, like an general popcorn flick. As long as it has action and explosions, then it's going to be fine.

Sea of Thieves Achievements

  • Seeking Sanctuary: You paid a visit to the beautiful Sanctuary Outpost.
  • The Wonder of Plunder: You paid a visit to the towering Plunder Outpost.
  • Pay Your Respects: You paid a visit to the mysterious Galleon’s Grave Outpost.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII went pretty well, we reached Taejin's Tower and knocked out several of the mandatory hunts before finding an excellent spot to grind for CP. I could have easily pushed to finish Chapter 11 this evening, however, there were some outside circumstances that prevented it, not to mention if I can get close to 999,999 CP points, we could damn near fill out Hope, Ligntning and Fang's standard skill trees for level 9. I will try and do some heavy grinding on that, otherwise Thursday's stream will feature me going up and down a set of stairs.

Of course the outside factor was that Xfinity was scheduled to be doing maintenance around 1 AM, so that's why I ended the stream fairly early.

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

Wednesday's night stream is slated to feature Sea of Thieves with Iceman, if he's available, otherwise, it will be Smite

Didn't get as much writing done on the Resident Evil commission I was expecting. I take that back, I got a lot done, but didn't finish it. I'll be working on that before I go to bed so that when I wake up I can work on the next story that's on my docket.

On a side note, the clips from the final night of Catherine Full Body continue to get flagged by Sega, but we should be outside of the 30 day window for the clips that appear during the BRB screen.

Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw me backtracking quite a bit to find and complete the seventh hunt in order to unlock the R&D shop in order to possibly be able to upgrade weapons to the next tier at some point. Beyond that we ended up doing a lot of hunts, and we finally found Chocobos in addition to apparently unlocking Cactars that drop 5000 CP when slayed. We wrapped things up by reaching the point of the final Eidolan battle so all six members of the cast have their summons.

Now of course Final Fantasy XIII will be featured tomorrow as we push forward, and the big goal that I have is to get as much CP as possible, to over 780,000, this is going to be helped by the fact we've unlocked teleporters to take us to areas where we can grind thing.

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon's Keep, which is apart of the Borderlands franchise.

Found out the servers at work are being rebuilt, so right now we're waiting for that to be done.

Managed to find alternate sources to get the physical strategy guides I was looking for, but they'll be sent via USPS, which does mean I'll get notifications on anything heading my way.

Finished the Attack on Titan story, and it turned out alright. Next is a short commission story based on Resident Evil.

Been adding the Ring Fit Adventure exercises to my routine of Fitness Boxing, using the later as a warm up before doing the former. Probably would help if I had self-control when it came to eating.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

 Well my day ended up not being good as another Amazon package was stolen from my porch... I was not expecting what I ordered to be arriving today, if I was, I would have been waiting for it!

Anyway tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was a lot of fun, big thanks to PandaSweet for being part of the action. We did feature a couple of runs of the Cosmic Crisis event which was fun, and I could have played the role of Betrayer in one, which would have been interesting. Also hit level 95 on the Battle Pass, earning the title that was at that level.

For tonight's raid, we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Tomorrow night, I'll be featuring Final Fantasy XIII, and more than likely there will be some grinding going on. In fact I may be doing that in a bit off-stream to try and fill out the current skill trees.Maybe we'll do some back tracking too to find some more of those hunts tomorrow.

Finished the Spider-Man commission story and the person who ordered was trying to avoid paying for it despite paying for a previous story with the same method I use for everyone who isn't going through SubscribeStar. I'm really tempted them to put them on blast for it

Started work on an Attack on Titan commission request, which should be fairly shortish, as the set up is more wham-bam than anything else.



Final Fantasy XIII and other notes

Tonight's stream of Final Fantasy XIII saw us gradually making our way through the large open area, doing various hunts and grinding for CP. The fact that there are many high level enemies around certainly make things interesting as some can be torn through fairly quickly and others... not so much.

We'll be back to the adventure on Monday's stream, and probably will focus on power grinding as much CP as possible

For the raid we dropped in on smoresdafloof who was playing League of Legends

Tomorrow night's stream will feature Overwatch 2, and a huge focus on quick play matches

For a fair amount of writing done in the Spider-Man commission which I'll be working on the rest of the night. I made up my mind to keep things basic and trying not to do to much with it.

Noticed a lot of folks taking issue with the new jerseys being worn by MLB teams, to which I say, we all saw it coming. The switch from Majestic to Fanatics was one of the stupidest  decisions baseball could have made.  

The strategy guides for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII should be arriving Monday,

  • Kelger's Cup: Completed all low-level Cie'th Stone missions

Ghost of Tsushuma and other notes

For tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima, we continued to explore the lower half of the map, finding fox shrines and various little fast travel points while also being misdirected by birds. Found the Heavenly Strike side quest which was pretty good, but all in all we avoided two things that would advance the plot.

Tomorrow night we're playing Final Fantasy XIII opening up Chapter 11 and having to save Hope.

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama who was playing Splatoon 3

Still no word on work resuming... 

Loaded up on Groceries, all the usual pasta related things, but added in some shrimp as well, since iLove how they turn out in the air fryer.

Got to remember to have a salad tomorrow.

Started work on the Spider-Man commission story, finding the right vibe for the intro is forcing me to do something generic, but hell I do need the cash.
