Marvel's Midnight Sun and other notes

With a full five hours, we did a fair bit of abbey stuff and actual missions in Midnight Suns, grinding towards various achievements, and progressing various relationships. The biggest thing was doing the first of the DLC content in recruiting Deadpool, who has a nice introduction to the cast, with a number of breaking the fourth wall references.

I think we'll keep the focus on the DLC and general missions and holding off on advancing the main story as much as possible. We shall see based on how things are story gated.

Midnight Suns will return on Monday's stream

Sunday's stream will feature Overwatch with a possibility of Smite

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

Unblocked a window in my office to let natural daylight pour in, but I need to find a way to cover it at night, to keep folks from peering in.

Finished the WWE commission I had scheduled for today, and next up is the first of stories slated for July... which is also WWE related... ugh.

J-STARS Victory VS+ and other notes

Tonight's stream of J-Stars Victory Vs was partially grind as we went after the Mysterious Voice ships and begin going after the Dark Phanton ships (a total of 30 need to be taken out). We got Luffy closer to level 30, which we'll easily do next week, and we unlocked every character, as well as all of the Bronze level cards and completed 30 side quests.

We did advance the plot a fair bit, recruiting many support characters and got access to the Tundra landmass, which is where we'll open things up to push towards finishing the first campaign

Thank to you TelochFIN for the raid following their own stream of Hockey Manager 10

J-Stars Victory Vs will return next Friday night!

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama who was doing a charity stream 

Work started off good tonight but then died as the night went along

Finished the WWE related commission and I got one more to be perfectly caught up on story requests... it is also WWE related but it's supposed to be a short one. 

Also, it dropped below 70 tonight... so I'm stoked about given my fans a break!

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream of Marvel's Midnight Suns saw a lot of lore stuff found, including the warded area behind Shaw's church, along with various other items and things. Managed to get the 2nd word of power as well, so we were really able to explore around the abbey a lot more. We did advance the plot by rescuing Spider-Man and made progress to leveling up friendship and other activities within the game. I can already tell this is not a game that can be rushed through.

Stream did end on a weird note when an amber alert popped on my phone, hope the kid is found safe and sound

Midnight Suns will return on Saturday's stream

Friday's stream will feature J-Stars Victory Vs

For the raid we dropped in on majinspade who was also playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

Work was a real drag this evening as the sample was totally beaten up to where people were being called a half a dozen times in less than a 24 hour period 

Rushing my way through a WWE Commission fic, just to get it out of the way because it is not an inspiring concept to work with

Finally was able to get a single for MeTV Tunes, and outside of it featuring way too many blocks of shorts (Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Popeye and numerous Hanna-Barbera cartoons), its other offerings are quite unique... too bad on weekdays those unique offerings are from 1 AM to 8 AM in the morning.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

• Are You On Superlink?: Gained a Friendship Level with any hero.
• Atum's Call: Acquired the "Reveal" Word of Power.
• Make a House a Home: Purchased 10 different upgrades for the Hunter's Quarters.

Smite and other notes

Tonight's stream of Smite was going very well, until like the final 15 minutes when a power outage knocked me off-line. Luckily was able to get back in to finish the final match. We were joined by PandaSweet for the entire stream, and she's certainly gotten on a roll with characters I've never played as. 

Of course Sea of Thieves was schedule, but Iceman was unable to join us, so maybe next week we'll be back on the high seas

Smite may return on Sunday's stream, paired up with Overwatch

Tomorrow's stream will feature Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the road we dropped in on zonesama for their weekly ZoneOut Stream

Work was really solid this evening, 5 completed interviews... with only a handful of assholes.

Finished the Mass Effect story commission next is is a WWE related one... ugh.

Shorter entry than usual because of the Thunderstorms

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight's stream saw a lot of roaming around the abbey in Midnight Suns as we opened up new ares to explore and saw that there are things that re-spawn periodically. S between every mission there is bound to be a Mass Effect like roaming around session.

I do need to get the Hunter to level 8 or higher to unlock the second hidden power, and possibly try to get abilities that can strike multiple enemies at once.

We didn't really advance the plot, but discovered there are missions that can be done before major story ones to earn additional rewards and such. I'm really liking this game overall!

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday's stream

Tomorrow night we're playing wither Sea of Thieves or Smite, depends on Iceman's availability. 

For the raid we dropped in on sweetlindir who was playing Hunt Showdown

Work was solid, we closed out one assignment and switched to another... and best part was... no power outage

Nearly finished the Mass Effect story commission, need to write one more scene for it.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

• Elemental, My Dear Agatha: Solved the mystery of Agatha's Altar.
• Might Need Pockets: Crafted a combat item at the Item Bench.
• Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble: Used Agatha's Cauldron to complete a Recipe.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Our first night of Marvel's Midnight Suns was pretty good, the game looks good, and it's combat system is pretty interesting as it card and tactics, so not quite like Persona 5 Tactica, but close enough for me to understand the basics. We are playing it on Story Mode.

I do like we'll have an opportunity to roam around the hub world, kind of like how I would when playing Mass Effect, going around the Normandy or Citadel between missions. Looking forward to seeing how the plot and stuff moves forward.

So yes, Marvel's Midnight Suns will return tomorrow night!

For the raid we dropped in on calyria who was playing Dragon Age Inquisition 

My power went out on my from a little after 5 PM to a bit around 8 PM, basically negating my entire work shift for today. Seeing as how the property tax for my home is due on August 1st (and I have yet to see the next update on what that amount will be), I'm annoyed, especially seeing as how the July 4th Holiday is going to be problematic.

Got a lot of writing done in the Mass Effect story commission, mainly writing non-action scenes for world building purposes. I do have two full scenes to write, and if I make the story long enough I can make up for the power outage today.

Also, I hate this heatwave, I hate when it's over 70 degrees at night, it makes it impossible for me to sleep!

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

• Lilith Returns: Completed the tutorial.
• Oshtur's Gift: Acquired the "Open" Word of Power.

Overwatch, Smite and other notes

Tonight's stream opened up with Overwatch 2 as McCowboy and PandaSweet joined in for matches that saw a wide variety of quality at times. Since the new battle pass season has started I'll probably work in matches off stream to get it done as quickly as possible. Also enabled streamer mode, which meant I had several different alias throughout the night which was fun.

PandaSweet and I also played some Smite, wanting to work in some of that so that Panda can get more of a feel for things. Also to my own shock I got the 2nd of Sol's related achievement... after getting the first one for her back in 2018!

Overwatch 2 will return next Sunday, and we'll see about Smite

Tomorrow night, we start Marvel's Midnight Suns

Thank you to telochfin who the raid following their stream!

For the raid we dropped in on Oldish22 who was playing Smite

Did groceries today, made sure to get 14 Fresh Express Salad as I want to have one a day every day!

Finished the God Eater to complete all the SubscribeStar commission tier ones for this month. Next up is a Mass Effect commission story

SMITE Achievements
