Hey guys, wanted to make an announcement apologizing for the constantly delayed streams lately. I've had so much crap go on IRL in the last 3-4 weeks. Work turnover, insane work loads from said work, kid struggling in school requiring extra effort, Shining Force III glitching issues, I got a literal salmon bone stuck in my throat causing my throat to be sore the last few days. The list goes on and on lol.
Fear not, we will be back sometime this week. Just need to find the time. Unsure of the day/time.
Thanks for all the support & for sticking with me through the ups and downs! Just in a rut.

⚔️ Shining Force III - Scenario I Game-Breaking Glitch?! ⚔️
So, yeah. In my last stream (Part 6) we just got Chapter 4 started. After concluding all of the cutscenes and mild exploration, we went out to the Aspia Castle Moat area. That's the spot where you have a brief cutscene with the bird warriors, then you head into the town of Aspia. Well uh... that didn't happen. For whatever reason, the event trigger of naturally progressing to the Aspia Castle Moat triggers THE FINAL CUTSCENE OF SCENARIO I AND THE CREDITS! Has anyone ever experienced this before?
Note: I am playing on a real Saturn, using burned copies of the translation project. AND! I completed this 3 years ago with the same set up, no issues.
Thankfully, after 2 hours of troubleshooting I was able to zip myself into the town of Aspia with the debug mode via Pro Action Replay, save, and continue on - which we will be resuming with Part 7 later this week.
I did further testing and the Castle Moat is STILL bugged. Meaning even if I walk back to the castle, the end game cutscene gets triggered. Wild. Hopefully no more issues like this persist, but I'm worried. I guess in the meantime, I can always have debug mode ready to go -_-
Anyways, see ya likely on Thursday night and fingers crossed.

Another 7th Saga Solo run in the books, but with a twist! I also did an all RetroAchievements run. Just wrapped it up so hope to edit it all together and upload next week. Lejes and Lux down, 5 more to go. But yeah, gonna take a 7th Saga break for a bit haha.
Next "offline" project? Final Fantasy NES all RetroAchievements. Should be fun.
Also, I think I might change my stream times from here on out to be earlier. Talked things over with my wife and I can't do these late night streams anymore. Way too tiring. So expect week day streams to start anywhere between 5:30-6:30 from here on out. Weekend ones, if they happen, will likely be late AM/early afternoon.
Should be picking back up with the Shining Force III stream on Monday or Tuesday!

Hey everyone. Sorry for the "delayed" stream for Shining Force III. I had a rough sleep last night and I wasn't feeling well enough to stream today. We will be back on Monday evening.
In other news, I was able to finish editing the Bits & Glory Community Top 10 Sega Genesis video! So I will likely upload that this weekend and it will be available to Members later on tomorrow? And likely non-Members on Monday or Tuesday.
I also finished up my 7th Saga Solo Run (Longplay) at Level 50. Gorsia was a PAIN! Took 8 tries. Going to edit that and hopefully also upload it sometime this weekend. Members should have it by Sunday, non-Members probably a week or so out. God, I love that game. Going to be hard for me to not run another solo run on the side with a randomized character!
Thanks for the support as always. See ya soon!

CHANNEL UPDATE!
⚔️ Our next Shining Force III stream will be this Friday during the day! I have off of work, so taking advantage of some of that free time. Shooting for around 10:30 AM start time.
🗡️I am currently about 80% through a 7th Saga Solo run. That will be a Longplay style format.
The reason I'm not streaming tonight and pushing it to Friday is to work on some offline content. I have had a very hectic end of the Summer, so it's time to catch up on some projects. I will be working on the Top 10 B&G Community Sega Genesis video, as well as a Shining Force Battle Tier List video. Hope to have those all edited by Saturday and loaded into YouTube shortly thereafter for Members.
Thanks as always for the support. Hope you are enjoying the content!

We will be back LIVE on 8/28 around 8:15 PM ET (this Thursday). Shining Force III Scenario I. This is my second playthrough of it, it's been about 3 years. We will be going back to my usual Let's Play style since it's NOT a challenge run.
I'm not super familiar with SF3 still, so please do not backseat unless I specifically ask.

HEADS UP! I am doing a quick, 1 battle (hopefully) stream after work today. Likely around 5:15/5:20.
I am busy the rest of the week, salty from last night, and want to finish SF2 Super off with a small window I have.
Sadly, I won't have time for the "secret" battle.

IYKYK. The Gisarme was first try! Now the Levanter? That took probably like 12 resets with multiple mithril, can’t lie lol. But for real hardware with no save states…. NOT BAD! Also got the Ground Axe, two Giant Knuckles and Grand Cannon all in an hour session!
