Out of the two games being considered for the next Saturday project slot: Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age cleared testing first. Buckle in, folks. This is gonna be another *long* one.

Going live with A Robot Named Fight! Huh, this year's had a lot of Super Fighting Robots in it for us so far now that I think of it. Surely won't be a trend, right? www.twitch.tv/RainNero

Whew, you know Bungie's desperate to get people back when they put all but the current expansion to Destiny 2 up for a bundle under $10... I won't lie, it's tempting, but all of my remaining money outside of the Emergency Fund is set aside for the Barony DLC (which should be within the next week).

Going with A Robot Named Fight for Flex Day tomorrow. I tried booting up Spiral Knights for a bit but my brain just *refused* to click with it at all. Maybe that'll change by the time I wake up tomorrow, but I doubt it.

Going live with Gravity Circuit! Woe, spikes be upon ye. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

If you shoot them, you gotta fix them. It's common courtesy. youtube.com/live/wq0fFqP.... #UnMetal

As part of the new diet I'm technically making more but splitting it into two meals... which works until one of my housemates steals my leftovers out of the fridge so I have to make more. Food budget's already fucked and this is just going to make things worse.

Going live with Remnant: From the Ashes! We return to Ward Prime after a brief excursion to Rat World to find out why we needed to go to Rat World in the first place! www.twitch.tv/RainNero

Did what I *hope* will be the final round of offscreening for Remnant. Dialing back the rush for 100% item collection and instead just grabbed the few gear pieces I still wanted from the second DLC. Decent likelihood that Saturday is our last stream of it.

Excuse me, there's a Goose on my Pizza youtube.com/live/OyT9sRM.... #TingusGoose

Going live with Gravity Circuit (again, thanks ISP)! Alrighty, take two. This time our robot installed a new Wifi adapter. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

It's on the ISP's side, narrowed that much down at least.

Still nothing. If it gets to 5pm I'm just giving up for the day and we'll restart Gravity Circuit next Tuesday.

Internet completely bit it. Still not back up. I just can't win with anything this year.

Going live with Gravity Circuit! Another one from the backlog and we're going in blind! At first glance... a little bit of Mega Man, a little bit of NES Ninja Gaiden? We'll see how it pans out. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

As part of the diet change I'm supposed to be eating a lot more greens to help lower my bloodsugar. Unfortunately the Saddest Sandwiches I've Ever Eaten™ just put me straight into a stomachache in under twenty minutes.

Housemate passed along another illness, so not streaming today. I'm severely dehydrated and I can't exactly rush to the bathroom every five minutes mid-stream. Gravity Circuit will take the Thursday slot this week (provided no further complications) and then we'll be back to the normal schedule.

Ambushed out of sleep to go shopping for the updated diet... and then one of my housemates has to go into the ER for possible food poisoning and/or a virus. The other goes in for back pain. This year is already doing its level best to destroy my mental health (and physical health).

Cancelling two streams and the Doctor's visit yesterday COMPLETELY screwed my sense of time. I thought today was Sunday for some reason and only just corrected myself.

Update update: Ultrasound finished, no clots. Just an infection and bad lifestyle habits catching up to me.

Update: Not hospitalized or dead. Possible blood clot in my leg looks more like just an infection according to the doctor. Getting an ultrasound on it in a few hours to completely rule it out.

Aw Peck, here we go again. youtube.com/live/jtL0eHs.... #TingusGoose

On further consideration, I'm just going to cancel streams for the rest of the week. I've got an upcoming doctor's visit on Friday that could lead to me being hospitalized and I'm just *not* in the right headspace to stream. Go watch GDQ instead.

Going live with Ultrakill! Ultrakill had its desert level, so now we get the water level. It comes with a complementary kick in the teeth. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

... Nurdell is going to be so smug about the .ini change working next week. We officially have background audio when tabbed out in Remnant!

Going live with Remnant: From the Ashes! Rat World? Rat World! www.twitch.tv/RainNero

Man, I love people trying to spring dinner plans on me without any warning. Feel like a jerk because it's a delayed birthday dinner for one of my housemates, but there was four days from the birthday itself to inform me. They sprung it on me twenty minutes before they plan to leave.

Important off-screening for Remnant done. Yaesha's cleared out of all items as far as I checked (including both world boss alt-kills... Ravager was more annoying than it had any right to be). Just going to do some material/trait farming and it's off to Rat World tomorrow.

Oh right I have to do offscreening. Whoops.

So I poked back into Trove for a bit out of vague curiosity over the newer updates and found out that not only did I get two gear pieces accepted into the game (it's big on user-made content)... they're still dropping a decade+later where MANY others have been "vaulted".

I don't care how many bunnies you release Hoyoverse, I'm not going back.

You may begin rolling for Psychic Damage youtube.com/live/TkkiCWv.... #TingusGoose #mastertingus

Going live with Crash Team Racing! Time to revisit another chunk of my childhood... you can blame Sirus for this one. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

Just kinda spinning my wheels trying to find new stuff to fit Thursday's low-commitment stream slot. We've pretty much exhausted all the roguelikes I own (and are waiting for updates to jump back into some). Fighting games are hit or miss depending on how quickly I can click with them... Blargh.

Okay, yeah, nope. Digimon World Next Order is very much not for me. Got about 40 minutes in and figured it's better to go for the refund while I still can than try to stick it out in the hopes it gets more fun later.

You know they're just kinda chilling, do we HAVE to provoke them? youtube.com/live/EM78Zkg.... #FF7

Gonna be honest, unless there's something major to turn my opinion on it back around I'm probably nuking all of the Ultrakill vods the second the project's over. The game's not clicking with me how I'd hoped and I'd really rather not leave them up to draw the ire of an overdefensive fandom.

Going live with Ultrakill! Trying to play a platformer in a game primarily designed to be a first person shooter doesn't really work out. Who knew? Well with that out of the way, surely there's nothing too bad left in Greed, right? Right? www.twitch.tv/RainNero

And so the Rogue's faction story comes to an end... and with it my desire to keep playing this character for now. Don't get me wrong there's a lot you can do with a manaless build, but I ended up having to largely abandon the trapper stuff because it just took too long to set up between fights.

Today I found out there's no confirmation button on unfollowing someone. That's gonna potentially be an awkward notification later.

Going live with Remnant: From the Ashes! Yaesha's due for a good fistin'... by which I mean Kikiru took a few Monk levels on the off screen. www.twitch.tv/RainNero

Who would win? Heavily armored Rune Knights with magical training... or five pressure plate traps loaded with Toxic Charges? Doing part of the Rogue's faction story on Outward and absolutely bodied what was likely supposed to be a very hard fight without having to fire a proper shot.

Yeah, the Rogue build on Outward is requiring a lot more thought and strategy than my previous Rune Knight. I'm actually having to consider enemy damage types/debuff immunities compared to just whacking everything with a Ghost Sword.

Properly running through my second character on Outward now. Decided to try to get as far as I can without unlocking the magic meter, which has led me into a Rogue build with multiple debuffing guns, traps, and an Axe/Dagger combo for when I need to finish an enemy off. It's stupidly fun.
