Monthly LP Update - September 2024

This is my monthly update post, cross-posted to both Patreon and Cohost, detailing the progress I've made on my Let's Plays. Due to the closure of Cohost, this will be the last time it is cross-posted there. Instead, I will begin cross-posting these to my personal blog. More below!

In Stars and Time

I can finally say that the end is in sight. I have recorded through episode 66 and I am literally counting down the episodes to the ending. We're almost there. In fact, there is a chance that I will finish recording it in October. If not in October, then in early November. We're so close!

But holy crap we really are in the emotionally draining part where everything is just kinda miserable. This is a compliment, not a complaint. It really was easier playing on my own time cause doing it in 3-a-week video format really drags it out and makes it hurt so much worse.

Anyways. Siffrin's sufferin' is nearly at an end. Or is it? At this rate, will they even get a happy ending?

Final Fantasy XIV

Patch 2.5 is pretty firmly in-progress! I have recorded 3.5 weeks of patch 2.5's videos, and in total it will be 9 weeks. So... nearing half way there. I have the first of three "chunks" done, and those will begin going live on YouTube next week. The second chunk is the side content, that shouldn't be too far behind. I think we are firmly on-pace for starting Heavensward at the beginning of 2025!

Miscellaneous

The savage static I am in has cleared M1S! We've done one instance of M2S and made it about half way to enrage. As with M1S, we are doing blind prog, I only know how close to enrage we are because savage is usually 10 min to enrage. As always, we stream every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6pm US Pacific time/9pm US Eastern time on Twitch. Come join us!

I have a personal blog that these will now start getting cross-posted to! You can find it here.

Cohost is shutting down. I will miss it greatly. It wasn't perfect, many mistakes were made, but it was also a place of healing for me. It's kinda hard to reconcile how good it was for me with how its failures hurt others, but there's no denying that both are true. It will be missed. There was potential for it to improve, but it didn't get there.

In One Piece, I am... still in Fishman Island. I've been told that I'm past the worst of Sanji's nonsense at least.

Coming Up

In Stars and Time continues as the end is now in sight!

Final Fantasy XIV moves into patch 2.5 and we come to the end of A Realm Reborn!

The next LP after In Stars and Time likely won't be starting until January 2025, as I will likely need a bit of a break over the US holiday season!
