Post-January Update!

Good morning Patrons, here's an update a bit later than usual as we've made it through another month. Let's chat.

First, let's go over what I managed to put out in January!

• A full playthrough of Rogue Galaxy
• A full playthrough of Fire Emblem: Engage
• A deathsteam of Forspoken
• A deathstream of Dead Space Remake
• A deathstream of Spongebob: The Cosmic Shake
• A couple misc. streams, and a refreshed 2023 thumbnail style for videos.

Though some of these are pretty big games and the deathstreams I found to be pretty good this was a light month. I spent the first like half of the month working and waiting for the new PC, and then a chunk of the back half of the month left me with some medical issues slowing me down. Regardless I think I put in some good work in the past couple of weeks to make up for it!

Now then, onto plans for February! 

Donation Incentives: We have a lot of these to do. A Ratchet Marathon, some licensed games ect. We'll be knocking a couple of these out per week and have already started with Ratchet 1 on the schedule this week. Naturally more will be added as we go since I run goals to make rent, but we're gonna make the backlog shrink this month finally. 

Again, sorry about this, getting my new PC delayed by over a month really screwed me. The bright side is every PS2 deathstream is now being played on REAL HARDWARE and you helped fund that. Thanks!

Games I plan on streaming in February: 

• Final Fantasy IX - I wasn't so hot on this game the first time I played it but I think the stream vibe and a second look will help. I wasn't really in the best mood at the time I played it which always affects stuff like this.
• Theatrhythm Final Bar Line - This is a big exciting release. Finally the FF Rhythm games on a console I'd like to play them on. We'll play a good chunk of this both single-player AND HOPEFULLY multiplayer. I have no concerns that they may do what happened with the Kingdom Hearts one and somehow not include the option to invite friends to play. Hoping they don't fumble that again. 
• Atomic Heart - This is a Soviet-themed alt-history FPS with music by Mick Gordon. Its on Game Pass so I'll be giving it a shot. I think it looks cool.
• Octopath Traveler 2 - The original Octopath has great potential, but lacked a lot of features and quirks I'd want for a game like that. The sequel has confirmed they'll be addressing essentially every issue I have and will be the first HD-2D game that launches on a console that can handle the visuals so I'm hype!
• Various Deathstreams - From the Ratchet Games to Avatar and Jimmy Neutron we got a good few games to deathsteam this month. Even surprises? Maybe!

Games I tentatively plan on streaming in February: 

• Final Fantasy X - This depends on how much free time I have this month between new releases. I love FFX so much, it's a Top 5 game of all time and I'm so pumped to go back.
• Like a Dragon: Ishin! - I like RGG Studio's games and this is a legendary Japanese-only game finally heading West. If I have time (and if I can get SEGA to play ball with a code) I might end up going through this on stream. 
• Hi-Fi Rush Deathstream? - I might do this. I already played it on my own on a couple of days off, but I think a run-on stream with experience would be fun because my first playthrough would have looked a little embarrassing anyway.

And that's what's on tap for February. A bunch of games, and I'm sure some impromptu stream ideas. Also maybe an episode of Weekly Jam at some point.

Additionally, I'm on the Millenium Microphone Podcast now. Episodes release twice a month covering Yu-Gi-Oh!'s various anime 4-6 episodes at a time. I joined as a permanent host at the start of GX so consider checking it out: https://www.patreon.com/millenniummic
