I pretty much marathon’d this after breakfast this morning, taking breaks from time to time. Next time I play I might actually finish the game, then I can do a new game+ the next, NEXT time that I play!I’ve heard that Bayonetta 2 emulates really well. Perhaps once I finally finish Bayonetta, and even go back and collect everything I’ve missed I’ll be at a point where I’ll want to buy the Wii U copy and emulate it. I’m about as likely to buy a Nintendo Switch as Nintendo is in allowing Platinum to make a PC Port of Bayonetta 2…
After finishing up Stray last weekend I ended up killing the rest of my game time with a little fun in Bayonetta, and I figured why not continue it into this weekend? I’ve been enjoying my 4K adventuring, despite numerous deaths and ass kicking. I did at least get a couple achievements tonight, so there is that!
Got a couple things taken care of under SFM today. Animated and exported one scene, and posed another:
Next time I enter SFM it’ll be back to animating mouthwords on my character. I’m not sure if I’ll make much progress on it tomorrow; as I have a hair appointment tomorrow, the first one since COVID, and since I’m vaccinated I see no reason to put it off any longer. I’ll probably still wear a mask though; I kinda wanna see if it helps my nose against those annoying chemical aromas.
I figured after an unfabulous week I would play a couple of fabulous games, and VRChat (we’ll save that for another post). Yesterday I completed a few chapters in Bayonetta. I’m having to replay it again due to losing a save file somehow, but that just gives me a chance to knock some of the rust off of her moveset.
I also wanted to check back into NieR Automata now that it received a patch to fix certain plaguing the game since launch. As a result I can do proper OBS recordings now! I can definitely recommend the game now that it isn’t bound to 720p without additional modding, and I might even buy the DLC during a future sale. I should also make time to play both of these on the big screen, that way I can torture everyone in the house with Bayonetta’s finishing moves. 😛
Now that I have the OBS issues taken care of with NieR Automata — I’ll have to livestream it at somepoint, and also return to streaming Bayonetta. I’ve already begun on animating part 2 of the Bayonetta video series, and also the semi-secret holiday video. 😛 I’ll be returning to either of those tomorrow now that I’ve had a couple days of play.
Still hard at work on my Bayonetta project. It’s looking like I’ll have two videos to produce, at least from what I can tell so far. I spent the evening tweaking my character’s animation, should have most of it done by tomorrow… then I can go off and animate the other half of the scene from another perspective. 😛 I wish I had a picture to share, but it really isn’t going to look like much unless you see it in motion, or with the other half of the scene at play.
Whenever the opportunity presents itself I try to find assets that go with something that could potentially go into a project. In this instance it’s lollipops from Bayonetta. I’m also going to look for a map or two for a potential cutscene; if successful I anticipate something crazy that will take me a mad while to animate.
On the subject of content creation; I’ve been paying closer to my YouTube channel lately. For reasons unknown YouTube’s algorithm has selected a video of mine from over a decade ago, and it’s making me want to also revisit making some Breencasts, and maybe even some other oddball ideas involving comedians and entertainers as different game characters. It makes me wish I could vacation for a few months just to get some of these ideas out of my head and onto a screen.
So, this week’s excuse for why I haven’t been posting much lately is because once again work has collected most of my attention. I got to basically write my own schedule last week, and made myself work a full 40. I might be lucky enough to do that next week too, always willing to make more money when I can. With Christmas coming up I’ll need every penny that I can get to send out my usual gifts, fucking tariffs can go die in a pile of flaming dicks.
I tidied up a bit, did a little shopping for Christmas, and played a bit more Bayonetta. I even decided to check out Resident Evil 6 for the first time. While looking for Bayonetta mods I found a Bayonetta mod for RE6, and then a rabbit hole of other mods to choose from.
Pretty sure this will haunt my nightmares.
I’ve already made some changes to my game, should be fun to do couch co-op with. 😛 Possibly stream too if I can defeat the Quick Time Events… my worst enemy in those games.
I continued to progress through my animation during the week. I just need to record some dialogue with Yutram and find a good way to close the scene; then I can begin piecing together another disasterpiece. We’re coming up with so many characters that we’ve been in discussion of whether or not we should build a wiki to keep track of events and “lore”.
Tried to do a Bayonetta livestream tonight but it failed miserably. For some reason it turns into a black screen after a particular cutscene when starting on a new game. So instead of sciencing it out I went with Plan B (Skyrim), still unable to escape the platinum curse…. until I pick them up again next time. The weekend is over and it’s time to get back into the working mindset. My tea is prepped, my lunch is set, my clothes are laid out, and my money is where my mouth is. I’ll have my weird dreams and begin a day of productivity and errands… and that’s the story I’m sticking to. :trollface:
Something tells me that I’ll be having some fabulous dreams tonight… I know I had a dream of some sort last night, but I don’t remember it.. Judging by the cold sweat I woke up in this morning I’m not sure if I want to remember or not. :zorak:
