Oh so that's the new Battle Boost gimmick In Chrono Cross

Good morning everyone,

Well last night's stream certainly saw me start off pissed off with everything involving the Supreme Court of the United States and the stupidity of overturning Roe V. Wade. As I said before, conservatives want to 'save lives' only to use those lives for their own benefits eighteen years later. The entire rant will be included in the archive VOD on my YouTube channel when it appears on Monday.


Anyway, as far the game play of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers edition, I realized that pressing R3 enables a battle boost to give full use of the elemental grid at the start and apparently provides enemies with a high chance of missing not just physical attacks, but elemental attacks as well. This became really useful in terms of dealing some bad match ups (the Giant Starky fight, where I took Harle and Zappa) as well as dealing with the Grand Slam portion aboard the S.S. Zelbess. Funny enough we ignored checking out the Grand Slam in last year's play through of the original version of Chrono Cross, so it was nice to recruit Janice. We also ended the stream at the perfect spot, where we reached the entrance to the Dead Sea, but realize we need to go to the Isle of the Damned first, which means Monday's stream will have a lot of action in it.  

On a side note it does appear some of the major slow down in frames during battle occurs on if the enemy is huge or overly complex.This is really down to bad Quality Assurance testing done by the development team of this version of the game.

For the raid we dropped in on Redneck_23 while they were playing American Truck Simulator! 

Work yesterday ended on a positive note continue the struggles to get anything done with the current assignment. On a side note, people who answer phones for businesses need to stop assuming someone is not going to do something on their behalf.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Uppercut Combo, Body Hook Combo and Triple Combo #1. Never seen that combination of exercises put together before, as they were all 8 minute routines, making this one of the shortest daily sessions ever that wasn't set for 20 minutes.

More progress towards 100% completion of Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle was done following last night's stream. Got to appreciate those YouTube channels that are still posting solutions for the Daily Death for this game. 

Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle Achievements

  • Golden Throne: Acquired the golden throne.
  • Return to Crystal Lake: Completed every puzzle level of Return to Crystal Lake.

My fantasy baseball team was let down by the Yankees not having LeMahieu in the starting line up against the Blue Jays yesterday. That was just rude! Also the rain out of the Guardians-Padres and the Tigers-Pirates games took Straw and Hosmer out of faction for me as well And of course the Phillies lost to the Rangers last night as well...  ugh.

Twitch added more options for the Predictions feature... I really do have have to come up with some content to take advantage of it.

For tonight's stream we're back to playing Fallout 76, as I'll try and knock out some solo quests before maybe we're joined by Iceman to continue the joint quests we were messing with last week!

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
