How chill can a FFXIV stream get?

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV was pretty damned chilled if I do say so myself. Sure we did the fourth circle Pandemonium raid to start... we basically focused on Botany and Fishing for a large part of the stream before putting some attention in on the Blue Mage spell hunting. I had no luck finding a party to go into the Dungeon for Glower, but I did have luck getting into a different dungeon as well as a Trial, namely the Battle of the Big Keep, so I now have missile in the arsenal of powers for my Blue Mage.Also had a surprising amount of success finding some spells out in the open world,  so all in all it was a pretty productive stream.


Now we'll probably be getting back to 'new content' with Final Fantasy XIV in April, since the first big Post-Endwalker content will be released next month. So new raids and things to look forward to. But I'm more interested in when Data Center Visits will become a thing because then folks who I know who are on different servers can team up!

Also full disclaimer: I nearly forgot to set a screenshot aside for the blog, but thankfully O put one in my discord first before I started writing today's entry.

For the raid we sent the fun over to x_lumineee who was playing Final Fantasy X HD Remaster over at twitch.tv/x_lumineee! I personally haven't played FFX since the early 2000s, I still have my save file on a PlayStation 2 memory card!


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Weaving Combo #1, Intermediate Combo #2 & Advanced Combo #1.. In terms of the extra Free Training I managed to work in, I finally scored a Perfect score on Difficult Challenge Combo #1 set at 'Low Difficulty'. Total work out was about 43 minutes, so you can I slept in a little today.

Managed to pick up another Xbox achievement in SSX, which I surprised worked considering the online servers for the game have long since shut down. To successfully get the 'I Am A Ghost' achievement, you need to do a survival race, you don't have to win it, but once it's finished the achievement popped up

SSX Achievements

  • I Am A Ghost: Upload your first personal ghost

Went after some achievements in WWE 2K15... I wanted to go for a third one, but the timing needed for the Ringmaster achievement is really finicky depending on the A.I.. Also discovered a weird slow down issue with the Xbox One version of this game in a six-man tag where if you leave someone in the ring too long the game would just come to a slog until you managed to tag someone else in. I don't recall that being an issue with the Steam version.

WWE 2K15 Achievements

  • That's Justice: Perform The Shield's triple powerbomb. (Single play/Exhibition)
  • Change the tides: Successfully perform a hot tag during a tag match. (Single play)

Now there is something cool when it comes to these older games and achievement hunting, since most people haven't play them in years... it means I getting to place my name as the 'last person' to unlock the achievement in question. Since being the first to do such a thing is impossible because of my approach when it comes to playing game, might as well be last.

Is anyone else sick of the dog and pony show that is the Republicans nonsense when it comes to the Supreme Court... Mitch McConnell shoved everyone he could through during Trump's disgraceful tenure in the White House, but now he wants to stand in the way of progress. The sooner McConnell and people like him kick the bucket the better. 

Had an issue with my Keyboard tray this morning a couple of screws came loose on the left side with one ending up on the right side of my chair. So having to deal with that was not pleasant. That's the problem with some things that require assembly.

For tonight's stream we shall be continuing Persona 5 Royal! Since we did the Museum Palace last week we' can focus on all the sub-stories this week!  

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