New update!

 Wow it has been a while since I updated this. Just been busy and haven't really had a chance to post. The last post was still about unpacking and stuff. While there are still a few boxes left, I've been recording and even streaming a bit now. I think the plan is to stream Overwatch 2, Duelyst 2, and Guild Wars 2 on the weekends, though preferably the last 2 more, but Overwatch 2 is still fun. I just don't like a lot of the things surrounding it - bad reward system, the overly grindy battle pass, etc. I could do an entire video/post on Overwatch 2 but maybe for a later time.

As of this post, the Duelyst 2 Kickstarter has 7 days left and already reached about 85k from a 25k goal! Can't wait until the beta comes out, and then the launch. The Kickstarter is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamslothgames/duelyst-ii

As for youtube, I will probably be doing more Guild Wars 2 and Duelyst 2 stuff in the future, though I will still do mobile games that I see ads for and a random game here and there. Overwatch 2 will probably be in shorts form for highlights. I'm also getting back into Valorant, though I don't know if I am going to stream that on a regular basis or not.

About time I update this

 This last month has been pretty hectic. Mainly packing. A lot of packing. Didn't realize how much stuff I have, and yeah. Now that I have moved in, I will have to take time to unpack, though I can only really do it on the weekends.

I have been recording though. I think among all this, I only missed one day of a main video, and that was because the internet wasn't working. Had to switch providers because my prior one couldn't be carried over to the new location. Signed up with a new provider and then it wouldn't connect

However, everything is up and running now. Still have to unpack stuff, but I'm back recording. Hopefully I will stream soon. The new provider has less upload speed, but I don't know if that will effect the quality of my streams.

On another note, Duelyst is coming back! I recorded a video during the network test, and I think the beta will be coming out shortly.

Haven't been streaming lately

Short post today.

I have been going through some things at home - everything is fine, just a little hectic. Hopefully when things settle down by July, I will be able to stream more often. Hopefully more than once a week. I also plan on upgrading my internet speed so I can stream with a better quality.

For some reason one of my mobile videos is getting attention - I assume it is because of the iffyness of the ratings. After playing all these mobile games, I feel like the ratings are almost never accurate. At least on advertised games.

Also Steam Next Fest is live again! I plan on trying more demos and record them!

Mobile Madness!

 Throughout the month I have been playing a lot of gacha games. There are some things that all of them have in common, like the pay to win aspect. I don't know if this is a thing on Apple's store, but on the Play Store, there are ratings for the games, and some of them that I have played are rated incorrectly in my opinion. Some are rated T, but have things that are in M+ rated games. No idea if there are adult versions of the games, since all the ones I play are on the Play Store.

It's been a month?

 Wow time flies.

I recorded an unboxing of the Steam deck, but I don't know if I should release it as it, or put a voiceover.

Also I am so close to 1k subscribers!

I still have no idea why some videos are popular... Attack on Time has been popping off for some reason.

I still want to stream more... maybe fortnite? I have been enjoying the no build stuff, though I wonder how many players are bots.

I also wanted to make a detailed post of Sakuracon, so maybe I will do that in the future.

Update

 Well a convention is coming soon, so I should prepare for that by making more videos beforehand.

I am thinking of starting Undertale. I have heard good things about the game, but hopefully the fandom has died down.

I also want to stream more, but I can't do it when I upload since it would just make the stream laggy. There are games that I want to continue streaming, like Cuphead, and there are games that I said I would stream, but never started, like Lost Ark. Hopefully I can get that sorted after the convention.

Another Update

 It's been a while, but not really much has happened.

I have been playing a lot of Axiom Verge lately, so other games are in the backburner. I want to keep continuing those, but I guess we will see after I finish Axiom. I also want to finish Lost Ruins since I feel like I am getting really close to the end.

I also want to start Sonic 06, as well as go through most of the games I got in recent bundles - mostly indie stuff, but it's just finding the time.

There is also a convention coming up soon, so I should try and record ahead of that so I don't get behind the following week.

I wanted to do more Gran Turismo 7, but I read about what they did in a recent patch (as of this post). I don't know if they will revert it, or just keep the rates as they are now, but we will see.

Other than that, it has been mainly Guild Wars 2, Lost Ark, and Forza Horizon 5 as my main games. I'm getting closer to End of Dragons in Guild Wars 2, albeit slowly. I am also slowly getting to level 50 in Lost Ark. Forza Horizon 5 has been mainly about the weekly stuff. I have 2 achievements left before I 100% that game in terms of achievements, though one of them will probably take a long while and many attempts.

Lost Ark is pretty fun for me

 Is it P2W? Most likely. Though I am not in a position yet to see it since I am still at the beginning for the most part. It just feels refreshing for a game that has already been out for years, and there are a lot of things to collect. Some grindy, some just exploring.

Also at the time of this post, Next Fest is happening on Steam. Going to try a few demos and put those videos out starting next week, so some of my weekly stuff will be paused, even though I recorded some already. There are some repeats from last time that I saw on the page, and some I am not that interested in, but I will try to get a variety of genres.

Also Vampire Survivors is pretty fun. Though I hear it is based off an Android game, so I do plan on trying that out in the future as well.

So many new games

 I have been thinking that I should slowly start to put 2 (3 if you count the daily solutions) videos out a day, with all the backlog I have. It doesn't really make sense to do a few at a time. I was also thinking of streaming some - and I have. I started with Cuphead for the time being. Seemed pretty well received. It is very challenging, but I haven't found a reason to rage yet. Lot of RNG I noticed.

I want to release 2 Shovel Knight videos a week, since I recently started that as well.

When Lost Ark drops, I think I will stream it to both twitch and youtube. It will be the first game I streamed to both at the same time since Duelyst I believe (or it could be Paladins..it has been a while). I have not seen any guides or anything, but I feel like I should. At least a beginner's guide on what to do or not do.

I also still need to finish the Ice Brood Saga in Guild Wars 2 before I start the new expansion.

TLDR, so many games to play, so little time.

Update on stuff

My work has been pretty hectic. With the corona going around and all, the manpower has been not great. Last week we got bombarded with shipments, and this week is the same. However, we don't really have the space to put anything. Usually we would ship out stuff, but due to one reason or another, that has been slowed down as well, so we have been slowly amassing all these shipments without a source to unload them. But I guess it is what it is.

Youtube wise, I'm thinking of trying to add more videos to my schedule. I have been getting a lot of feedback on my Bitburner video, but I don't know what I would do in future parts if I were to continue it. I also want to play other games, but only having one day free to upload them (since the other days have other games already in progress) seems kind of like a jam. I picked up a few games recently that I want to try out, so maybe I will do some double uploads on some days. 

I also want to stream more - I have been trying out Dead Cells again and it is pretty fun. One downside of having the Twitch interactions enabled is that you have to have at least one vote before it can continue.

That being said, I am torn on wanting to either record or stream some games. I want to do the Halo collection, and maybe the original Doom/Duke Nukem series.

For now, I have taken a break on Halo Infinite multiplayer. The game is solid, but I feel like I will burn myself out if I grinded the pass every week. I do want to max out the main pass eventually, but I feel like with how they give xp now, I can have a break here and there. I might have stopped right before the second week of the Fractured Tenrai event so I missed out, but eh.

New Year, New Game.

I have added another game to my schedule - Inscryption. It felt like I haven't played a card game in a long while, and I decided to try it out. It seems to have good reviews and so far I am enjoying it.

I have also made a tier rank for something in Guild Wars 2. It is only a portion of it, due to the time length, so hopefully I can put all parts out before the new expansion. If not, then I'll just post them whenever on my free day of the week.

Other than that, it's a new year and hopefully I will pass 1k subscribers soon! I have been uploading more shorts, and that has been getting views, so I hope that is helping.

Somewhat of a schedule

For the most part on my channel, I have series that I am actually planning on finishing on through. Not 100%, but story-wise from beginning to end, and there will be a video a week on each. I still have room to play random games for 2 days, but I'm trying to actually beat my games than test them out. I believe one of the two days will most likely be Forza Horizon 5, but it isn't really set in stone compared to the other 5 days.

Monday - Yakuza 0

Tuesday - Lost Ruins

Wednesday - Axiom Verge

Thursday - 1001 Games and More CD

Saturday - Threads of Fate

I have no idea how long these games will take me (especially the 1001 games cd), but they haven't frustrated me much and are quite fun so far.

Of course, everyday there will be a solution to Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle's Daily Death as well.

Halo Infinite's multiplayer is a bit better now

 Is it perfect? No. The weekly challenges still feel like it would take some time to get through. For this week, I have 1 more weekly left before the ultimate, and I only have a day to complete them - and I have been playing for about an hour a day at least. At least there are no ranked challenges.

The addition of the multiple game modes has been great. I don't know if BTB is still broken or not though since I haven't tried it yet. It is still annoying that a lot of the challenges still rely on the normal quick play RNG - oddball, area control, etc.

Out of the new modes, I think I like tactical slayer the best right now. Straightforward and no pickups. Everyone has the same weapon and the same health.

There are the occasional graphical bugs, but multiplayer is a little bit better for now.
