It's Friday

 Good morning everyone,

Yes I forgot to post yesterday's blog, my bad! Anyway work was alright last night, got another completed interview, but I really wish the wording of the questions were worded a little more 'humanly'. Thing again, the intro basically comes across as the 'In America' meme from the Yu-Gi-Oh abridged series.

Last night's stream of Mass Effect saw us getting the achievement for using Alenko in the majority of the game, which meant after we did the initial side quests, we went straight to Virmire where we left him behind. I made a mistake but sending Alenko with the Salarians instead of Ashley, which meant we didn't see Alenko's last stand. Once Virmire was done, I noticed I had the max bar filled regarding Paragon, which means i can finally start making some of my usual Renegade choices... and by having Virmire done before Noveria, we justify Shepard 'snapping' a bit.

We did go to Noveria and got all the initial story out of the way, so the next time we play it we can go straight to Peak 15 and then dealing with the one or two side quests that pop up because of the Rachni before the big push for finishing the game. 

Mass Effect Achievements

  • Sentinel Ally: Complete the majority of the game with the Alliance sentinel squad member

For the raid we dropped in on princesspashley as they were playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom over at twitch.tv/princesspashley

The plan for tonight's stream is to continue Kena: Bridge of Spirits, I know we're somewhere in the second act of the story. The stream will be starting at 9:30 PM Eastern due to work.

Got a new commission request through my SubscribeStar page for a story based on AEW... and since I don't following WWE closely, there is no chance I know what the hell is up with what's going on in the glorified cocaine-fueled fuck fest that is All-Elite Wrestling..but I think I can whip something together using an old outline from something written ten years ago.

Restocked my food supply yesterday, and realized making ramen is rather painless. Sure it's not healthy, but hey at least I'm eating right?

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

Resident Evil 6 Progress, Achievements in Fall Guys!

Good morning everyone,

Another late shift of work yesterday, but I got another interview done and thus felt productive once again. 

Also made some pasta the previous night... and it's edible, so I have left overs for today. There is a big difference in knowing how to cook and 'knowing how to cook;.

Last night's stream opened with Resident Evil 6 which saw Iceman and I knock out Chapter 2 of Leon's campaign.. and since I'm playing as Helena, it certainly has lead to some unique moments and mechanics within the game, such as carrying Deborah and being its target during the boss fight. Now since the chapters are so long, Iceman and I are approaching of doing one chapter per week. So with five chapters per campaign and four campaigns in total... we'll be with this a lot in the coming weeks and months on Wednesdays.

Once chapter two of RE6 was done, and after a break, I loaded up Fall Guys with the intent of testing out an exploit to get the achievement for 5 wins in a row. Currently, if you do one of the short 'special' fan made races that are currently an option, you just have to finish it, doesn't matter the placement. Now do it four more times, and you got the achievement. Also managed to get the achievement for doing an emote before finishing in first place. Now that just leaves coming in 1st place 20 times in races... just wish I knew how many I had done already.

Resident Evil 6 Achievements

  • Lifesaver: Help or rescue your partner ten times.
  • Buried Secrets: Complete Chapter 2 in Leon's campaign.

Fall Guys Achievements

  • Big Tease: Perform an emote just before coming first in a race round
  • Infallible: Win 5 Episodes in a row

On a side note, my current Xbox achievement stands at 12 days and 50 achievements earned, some of which I didn't make mention of here in the blog.

For the raid we dropped in on TracyDoll who was playing Dead by Daylight over on twitch.tv/tracydoll

The plan for tonight's stream is more Mass Effect, and we'll be opening with three side quests with the hope we can get the achievement for doing the majority of the game with Alenko in the squad. If we get that achievement, we'll do Virmire before Noveria just for a change of pace 

Also finished the Mass Effect short story yesterday, so the commission slots are now open.

SO on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and the stream will be starting around 9:30 PM Eastern.
