Good afternoon everyone
Last night's stream of Overwatch certainly was surprising with how reluctant some people were to actually try to win, with lots of folks leaving matches. Still we had a number of good moments, and always a big thank you to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun as the goal to unlocking the Auspicious Soldier skin for Solider 76 was accomplished! Looking forward to the chase for Wrecking Ball's Porcelain skin next week.
As far as how the Auspicious Soldier skin looks, I think it looks nice with that shade of a dark blue with the red and gold standing out a bit. Perhaps what is most notable is that since Solider 76's face is completely uncovered, it looks really expressive, which to me is a nice touch.
Should know I finally managed to get the Short Fuse achievement using Ashe, a full 38 months from when the character was released back in November of 2018. Granted I don't use Ashe much, but it was nice to accomplished a 'challenge' of sorts related to how to use the character. Picked up four Plays of the Game last night, two as D.va, one as Junkrat and one as Soldier 76, so in terms of getting the big plays, I feel like I was doing pretty damn well!
Big thanks to LvStrkr for gifting me Control: Ultimate Edition last night during the stream, yet another great game I'm looking forward to featuring!
For the raid, we sent everyone over to PradoxGamerAU who was doing a Dungeons & Dragons campagin over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerAU!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Hiro as the trainer to begin the grind towards his last related achievement. The session lasted 31 minutes with the following exercises: Double Combo #2, Left-Right Step Combo and Advanced Combo #2 with the estimated calorie burn being about 561 kcal.
Found an old screenshot I posted to Facebook 10 years ago of Star Trek Online... and it is of course of Zagreus, the character I created way back in 2010.
My trust in 2K to do a better job with WWE 2K22 dropped a few points when I saw the character model for Randy Savage is the exact same one used in WWE 2K20. Then I looked at the game play footage that has surfaced and... it looks to be the same convoluted mess that has been the norm going back to WWE 2K13. Seriously, they had three years to make improvements (since 2K20 was released in 2019), and it's clear as day they are rehashing the same game engine.
My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw two Main Story Quests being accomplished, 'As the Heavens Burn', 'Outside Help' and 'Going Underground'. The first sees The Scions trying to fight off the Blasphemers, which meant having to play as Alphinaud and Alisaie, which was a bit tough considering the former's new Sage abilities, not to mention the layout of their powers are now where I would put them on the power bar. The second quest sees the Moon Bunnies show up, complete with a zombie like Puddingway, plus exposition on the Ark to evacuate people from the planet in addition to setting up access to the other half of Labyrinthos to explore. The third quests basically allowed for me to explore and get all the Aether Currets around Sharlayan Hamlet and Aporia, as well as see how the Ark's engine efficiency problem will be solved.
For tonight's stream, we'll be playing Life is Strange: Remastered episode 4 and 5 with the goal of finishing the game and getting all of the achievements with it!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
