Jeez my sibling is really going at the mic tonight at 2am. It's a house, not a rock concert. And this happens every damn time I'm close to finishing something.

Parent is trying to sleep, dog is still in pain and I'm trying to focus on doing creative stuff but can't think to finish the piece off cause he is going at FIFA like a train.

I'll just play something for an hour max and then hope he passes out or get the neighbours to shout at him.

I'm guessing they wouldn't let the audience he wanted in?

Jokes aside, man, that has to be a pain for you.

In Mystery Dungeon, my Skitty started off pretty ho hum. Not bad, not amazing. He'd get support moves that either lower stats or block status affects, and that's cool, but now he knows Calm Mind thanks to a wild TM drop in a dungeon.

And he knows Blizzard, which hits across entire rooms, and has boosted PP and accuracy thanks to stat boosting items.

I thought Skitty was a female exclusive player character-

Man, had such a good day, so many parries and clean Sonic play. My Banjo's looking good, too! But, while I was playing him, I mentioned that I just needed to tack on a bit more percent, to which my boyfriend replied, "A small smackerel of percent" and I lost it because Banjo and Pooh are both bears. Now I'm gonna have trouble remaining serious while playing Banjo 😂

Emulating Pokémon Snap 64 is more of a problem than I thought.

I needed a specific video plugin otherwise there camera's red dot doesn't work, thus making it harder to play. But said video plugin has much more gritty display and not as pretty.

But since this game is really short, it's a small price.

Try looking for the right emulator and the right settings. It's tricky, but I've gotten it to work in the past!

Try out the parraLLel core on RetroArch with the AngryLion video plugin, it basically renders everything near-hardware accurate to an actual N64: It might fix the issue.

Alright! The next batch of Justice League members for my show! Only two more to go after this! So let's get to it! Here we have...

You may know Despero as the tyrant of Kalanor and master of both brains and brawn with his immense physical strength and powerful psychic abilities. But Despero is not currently in control of his own body. He is currently stuck in the body of the league's robotic companion L-Ron, whom they rescued from an alien weapons dealer named Magna Kahn. As punishment for his crimes, the Guardians of the Universe mind switched Despero with the feeble robot, and L-Ron decided to use his new powers to finally assist his friends in the League on missions for real! The name Despero will now ring out across the galaxy as a champion of justice!

Funnyman was the second creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster after they left the production of Superman comics (not for DC originally, but the character flopped so hard he's actually in the public domain now lol!) so I thought I would resurrect this old forgotten character in this show! Originally a TV comedian failing in the ratings, Larry Davis was inspired by the heroes cropping up around him to create a costumed crime fighting identity to boost his popularity. Unfortunatley he had very little in the way of physicality or powers or resources. That's where his old college roommate Happy Harrigan came in, as well as his girlfriend and producer June Farrel. June would pretend to be kidnapped by Happy, who would be remotely puppeteering a robotic "supervillain" named Doc Gimmick. Davis would arrive in his comedy-themed persona Funnyman and "save the day". This plan worked a little too well, as his ensuing popularity caused him to attempt to actually assist Superman with battling Mr. Mxyzptlk, who banished him to the 5th Dimension with a snap of his fingers. From his perspective, Davis spent three thousand years there, no longer needing to sleep, eat, and his body adapting to the 5th Dimension, changing his physiology into something almost cartoonish (I designed him with Golden Age of Cartoons traits) and granting him immortality. Returning after many many many many years to about a week after he left,and aided by the same tech which powered the 5th Dimensional Imps, he went all in on the Funnyman persona, a little bit too hard. During the process his insanity scared his girlfriend into dumping him, the networks to ban him, and Happy had his mind transferred into the Doc Gimmick puppet, making him a real supervillain. A vestige of the real Larry boiling to the surface, Funnyman begged to join the league in hopes that their order could reign in the chaos that he could not stop himself from creating, and the league reluctantly agreed.

Tomorrow Woman, real name Clara Kendell, appeared to simply be another of Magog's former metahuman soldiers, with powerful psychic and telekinetic abilities. In truth, unbeknownst to even her, she was the creation of the Brain Trust. An alliance of scientists consisting of T.O. Morrow, Professor Ivo, Hugo Strange, Will Magnus, Achilles Milo, and Dr. Milton Fine. Each one bringing their unique scientific advancements together in an attempt to create an army to take over the world. Or at least... that's what they thought. Clara was the result of this collaboration, the final prototype before they started mass producing their soldiers. A perfect hybrid of man and machine, sent to infiltrate ad destroy the Justice League. Unfortunately for them this did not work (does it ever?) and she rebelled and joined their ranks for real. And she was instrumental in helping them take down her creators. Turns out, Milton Fine was secretly being controlled by nano-machines, the last remnant of the destroyed Brainiac. Their research was combined not to create an army for them, but an army for Brainiac. Brainiac had become a virus, able to take over any man or machine and transform them into a new body for him and an extension of his will. Thankfully Clara and the Brain Trust's other robotic creations were able to stop him, but the brains of his infected human victims (including the scientists who helped to create the virus) were permanently fried.

I've got the next 3 weeks worth of art set up. A lot of sketches and digital drawings alike. Still have a couple of sketches and at least one more digital drawing done already after that.

Finished Spider-Man: Miles Morales not too long ago. Gonna start up Okami HD soon. Hopefully I'll get clients or a long term gig soon. Also got some more shirt designs available too.

Last night I beat the main story of Immortals Fenyx Rising!

I have to say the game was very enjoyable overall. I have to admit it did feel samey after a while since throughout the world you basically find different variations on the same few puzzles, but you still had some pretty good incentives to keep exploring. I also very much appreciated all the references to different myths and legends of greek mythology and the narration and banter between Prometheus and Zeus as you explore. The daft humour and occasional forth wall breaks gives the game a certain lightheartedness that doesn't take itself too seriously but still well written and cohesive dialogue between all the game's characters. You definitely felt like you gave a damn about the characters and even had some decent character development.

The combat was refreshing as well, it had a similar mindlessness you get from a hack n slash but still required some skillfull timing to make the most out of your abilities. The combat was definitely a strong point of the game, and as you progress you can upgrade and unlock more abilities that give you more options in combat which adds to the depth. Unfortuntely similar to BotW it seems to have this difficulty drop in the later game where it feels easier as you get stronger. And unlike in BotW there's no weapon durability which means you can be less conservative with fighting larger groups of enemies. The boss fights were also pretty fun. This game has less of a focus on resource collecting than BotW, you only really need to resource farm for health and stamina as you can consume potions rather quickly, so you need to be active in collecting those few things, but other than that you don't really need much else. You can get some resources from chests and defeating enemies but it's easy to build those up as you go.
The game has it's share of customization options, from cuswtomizing your character, to your weapons and armour and to your companion. And yes, you can choose to customize just the appearance of your armour and weapons and keep the attributes from other pieces. I like that games are starting to implement this feature more, such as with Xenoblade.

Despite the list of comparisons to BotW you can compose of this game, there's plenty that this game does that gives it it's own identity. The more time you put into the game, the less you think of it as "BotW but greek mythology." I'd definitely recommend it for those who enjoy open world games.

I should also mention that the soundtrack has it's bangers! Same composer that did the Ori games I might add.

I'm definitely thinking of buying the season pass as this game was very enjoyable. There's an expansion focused on Chinese Mythology which I'm definitely interested in. It'd be neat if there was a future expansion or sequel focused on Epyptian or Norse mythology as well!

It strikes me as odd that Giga Cat Mario isn't a Legend Class Spirit.
Usually those kind of Super Forms are Legend Class.

Considering Legend-Class spirits are usually kinda hard, they probably don't want to alienate people who aren't good at the game from getting them, considering they're limited time offers until the next big patches.


In fact, I don't remember us ever getting a Legend-class from any of these spirit events.
