Good morning everyone,
Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV started off with a fairly good run of the Aglaia Alliance Raid, where I surprisingly didn't die over and over again until the final two boss battles. Also did The Mother Crystal trial for the first time in a long while, and I totally forgot how that goes as I basically got whacked all over the damn place.Played two PVP matches, winning one of them and ranking up to Bronze 3. We did some fishing and finished all the job quests associated with that role, so not it'll be leveling up for the sake of leveling up. I do have to say I am not keen on the spearfishing gimmick.We also put in some levels on Botany, up to level 41, so that will now be my leveling focus, and we also gained a level on Lancer.
Now I know some folks will wonder why I have no issue with the grinding in Final Fantasy XIV, but I have a problem with the grind in Star Trek Online. The answer is simple, nearly everything as a story attached to it in FF14, even if you have to grind to the levels to see the next part of it, while in Star Trek Online, there basically is no side story to speak of.
Also made sure my subscription was in place through August 5th, don't need to work about that until the end of July. Woo-hoo!

For the raid we dropped in on MommyBee who was playing Persona 5 over at twitch.tv/mommybee!
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Block Combo, Straight Combo #2 and Sway Back Combo.
Gears 5 had an update with the removal of its Map Builder feature, but it has been announced that two achievements associated for it will be unlocked for everyone. That is how things should be. Hopefully that will set a trend going forward.
Work was rough yesterday, when the assignment chart saying one thing, then when I was about to start it was changed to something else, which meant I had to take time to set things up... I hate it when stuff like that happens.
More Overwatch 2 Beta Notes, because of the increase in pace of play some characters feel a lot more slick, Mercy in particularly feels very smooth and not as labored as before. Lot of Lucio players are going to be wall riding on maps with open ledges, so I bet really good Widowmaker, Ashe and Ana players will probably serve as good counters. The more times I see Orissa the more I think she's going to get some big time nerfs by the time its released. I'm really unsure on how Bastion's ultimate is supposed to work, you can't really aim it.
The 76ers got their act together to put away the Raptors in Game 6 last night... now if they did that earlier, they could have gotten more rest before facing the Heat in the second round.
My fantasy baseball team is having a decent week as I'm ahead of my opponent in eight different categories. Here's hoping that momentum stays in my favor for the rest of the week..
I'm not saying I'm for Amber Heard, but I am saying I'm totally against Johnny Depp because Depp is taking full advantage of his fans packing the court room.
