The stream is over. Unfortunately, we lost an hour tonight, due to hardware issues, but we're on track for The Promise ending in Look Outside. We raided Popecorkyix who's playing War Hammer 40,000.

The stream is over. We did not beat SteamWorld Heist II, but we're set up for the final battle for our next Slow Burn Saturday. We'll be back tonight with Look Outside. For now we've raided Dopples who's playing Mina: The Hollower.

Check them out here: https://www.twitch.tv/dopples

In Look Outside we find out what happens when you sell part of Toxic Fred. He shouldn't have left that valuable cowboy hat just sitting around.

(Amusingly enough, closed captions on YouTube do not capture the amount of swearing happening here.)

The stream is over. We went long because we had two raids. Tonight one from FrankiePixelShow and another from @supernerdyguy! Thank you so much! We'll be back on Saturday. We raided Frenjamin_Branklin who's also playing Look Outside.

Check him out: https://www.twitch.tv/frenjamin_branklin

We experience Persona 3 Reload through the eyes of a pair of old heads who remember the 20-year-old versions of the PS2 game, and the PSP port.

We had a productive stream in Look Outside. We rescued Joel, recruited Earnest and got the key to apartment 35 with some help from chat. We'll see Sybil in the flesh for next week's stream. For now we've raided @angelus_04 who's playing Mega Man 3.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@damagecontrolblog/116666243661343258

The stream is over! We're about halfway through Atomic City, and the fights are all the more difficult in SteamWorld Heist II. Our next Slow Burn Saturday may see us wrap this game up. No raids tonight, but we'll be back later this evening for some Look Outside.

Hellride is a heck of an optional boss in Look Outside. You have a limited number of turns to defeat it once inside. The music also goes pretty hard.
