Today's Notes 5/6/21

Good morning everybody,

How does one define irony....on Tuesday of last week and of this week I lost power, costing me a few hours of work at my day job.... and I know it caused some eyeballs to roll. Now yesterday afternoon, my job lost power and had a fiber card blown out which meant when power was restored there company server's couldn't be accessed for anyone to work remotely or in person.All I know is that considering back back in February my previous computer freaked out following a power flicker, and I had enough disruptions on one day not to long ago to invest in a uninterrupted power supply unit, I don't want to ever hear about me being over protective of my gear being an issue.

Last night's stream of Tom Clancy's The Division was pretty damn productive, as a lot of collectables was found and major areas of the map was cleared out. Big thanks to Iceman7667 for joining in as it made things a lot easier, particularly in areas where I would be a sitting duck. We did have our fair share of interesting moments, such as running into the Bullet King which shredded us pretty damn quick, along with finding NPCs floating in the air. Also unlocked several achievements which I'll list below.

  1. Skill Kill: Finish off 50 enemies using Skills.
  2. Natural Talent: Be attributed with a kill while having a Talent active.
  3. Raid the Arsenal: Kill 1 enemy with each of the 6 Gun classes.

Twitch Clip: Achievement: Raid the Arsenal

Twitch Clip: Why are they level 17? It's the Bullet King!

Twitch Clip: They are floating!

Twitch Clip: More Like Panic Flailing

Now, I live east of Philadelphia, PA.... right across the Delaware River, how the hell does the United States Postal Service send a package that was sitting in their Distribution Center to fucking Florida? And what I'm waiting on is a copy of the Fifth Element for the original PlayStation, which actually should've been in my hands a week ago.

Made a slight change to my Fitness Boxing 2 session this morning to make it a little harder, so instead of a pattern of the sets being short-long-long-short, it was long-long-long. So still 30 minutes, but because it was three long sets it meant I probably got a more intense workout... at least in theory. Estimated calorie burn difference was about the same as yesterday.

Kalenal (twitch.tv/kalenal)  pointed out I really need to add items for folks to redeem using Twitch Channel Points, and so I added two things, one was to have me perform a song, and the other is for me to play a game of a viewer's choice on an upcoming stream. Needless to say the later one is a big ticket item and will require a lot of points.

For tonight's stream we will lead off with Star Trek Online and I'm not sure as of yet what we'll be pairing with it for the second half of the stream. At the moment the leading candidates are Hades & ARMS, but I could just go and select something else at random.

And on that nore we'lls ee you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
