AC Black Flag
07/11/2026
The performance of AC Black Flag Resynced is greatly increased vs Shadows. The menus are night and day faster which is my main complaint with Shadows. The water is so sick. Update, played around 3 hours, the story is excellent. The pistol firing is my only complaint, you select it with multiple button presses Xbox (LT, D pad Up, aim and shoot, then repeat all steps again for each shot), then it’s one shot. Makes me kind of sad to see how well this games does vs Shadows, I really love that game but the performance never improved. Another thing I play it on S and X version of Xbox and exactly the same slowness in menus. That should have been the last update, fix the slow UI/Menus.
AC Black Flag Resynced

Apparently the new version of AC Black Flag Resynced has very good opinions, I own the original but have not played it. Years ago I purchased a bundle with like 5 AC games, many of them very old. Been having fun playing AC Shadows still on first save doing all the side missions and newer content. Want to play Odyssey next, but Black Flag is the new shiny so might as well try it out, looks amazing graphically.
AC Shadows
07/10/2026
Assassin’s Creed Shadows had its final update recently, pretty sad this happened but even with 113+ hours on my main save I still have a ton of stuff plus many events on the huge map to do. Still the most relaxing game to me, the environment is so amazing. Mad I nuked the old post on the forum version of this site, had a ton of info about the game basically for myself as a refresher.
GTA 5 Goal
07/09/2026
So I have one game goal, to beat GTA 5 before installing GTA 6 when it’s released. Never fully completed any GTA game and I played everyone of them. To be perfectly honest when I played some of the missions recently in 5 it’s pretty dang good.
Twitch Highlights
07/09/2026
Twitch after you stream it can save a VOD of your entire stream for offline viewing. With this you can also edit highlights, it’s a bit slow on iPad in a browser. Maybe better on my PC, but like the feature. Had to edit again after because results had extra unwanted footage after it was saved. Will post highlights here at times.
Streaming workflow
07/08/2026
I have been streaming to no users a bunch lately, my goal is really to just capture footage I can use. I can’t even see what’s going on in the feed from my screen anyway unless I watch on IPad too. Still discovering how to use these files, they can be exported to YouTube. Now to record them with a better plan and capture good moments and rare stuff. I’ll be using my microphone on them some too explaining stuff and the builds. 3 viewers at most, bunch of spammers in chat.
Diablo 3 Season 39 Monk Fresh
07/08/2026
My most played game ever, Diablo 3 on PC. Played a bit on Xbox last couple days and had a blast, it’s always my go to game when nothing else is hitting the spot. The speed of the builds even when low level is probably my favorite thing. Will have a stream video on my YouTube showing level 22 to 70 then to Paragon 60+. I am a bit rusty so it wasn’t super fast but it took no time for me to be decently powerful with mixed gear.
Diablo 3 Season has 4th cube slot currently.
07/08/2026
Played Diablo 3 Seasonal today, has the event with 4th cube slot to have fun with new builds, actually never did this one before. Started with a monk which is my fastest solo leveling class. This is the game where build making was really taught to me, mob positioning, mob type tactics, and gear min maxing. Diablo 2 has this but it’s more complicated with base items and extremely rare runes that magically became meta pieces.
