Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

You know what I hate about waking up because of anxiety about things and then not going to bed about 22 hours later? It means I end up losing the majority of the next day, which was what happened today, as I didn't wake up till around 12 PM Eastern, which meant I didn't get anything done that I wanted to.

One thing was to do some branch trimming and possibly breaking out the weed trimmer to touch up the few ares that I would use that on. I prefer to do that before noon because it's not as hot in the mornings. T

Then of course was the writing for a short story commission, which I got started after doing a of research because I hate doing anything involving modern pro-wrestling, so it breaks my streak of knocking out stories in a day. Also doesn't help that this involves four characters. I should charge per character.

And lastly there was an issue with Burger King, now I made some Cheese Tortellini which double for lunch and  dinner for tomorrow, but I didn't feel like making anything else today. So I went to Door Dash and figure I'd get one of the Bundle pack from Burger King because I can get four meals out of those for a few days... but whoever prepared my order didn't included the two Hershey Sundae Pies or the Sweet & Sour Sauce. Needless to say I was pissed, and left them a review. For the record, the Burger King location that couldn't follow basic instructions per the order was the one on Crescent Blvd. over in Pennsauken, New Jersey.

Anyway night's stream of CyberPunk 2077 featured a huge focus on side quests and just roaming around in the area known as Watson, and I was amazed with how much side content there was in this one area, then realizing oh fuck, there's a lot to do in all the other areas of the game that open up as the story progresses and as V is leveled up. Safe to say, it's a good thing I'm dedicating at a minimum three streams a week to this game at the moment.

Probably the thing that is going to take up the most time is tracking down all the Police Scanner activities, and the mini-map isn't exactly helpful in navigating some areas. Then again the layout of Night City with the narrow rads is a total mind fuck in and of itself. 

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

  • True Warrior: Kill or incapacitate 100 enemies using melee weapons.
  • Christmas Tree Attack: Complete a Breach Protocol with a minimum of 3 daemons uploaded

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/misscammi316 where Smite was being featured 

Bob Barker passed away at the age of 99, and like everyone else, as a kid, sick days from school involved watching the Price is Right. When I saw the Phillies highlights and that every strikeout of a Cardinals hitter involved the 'fail horn', I chuckled a bit.

Our next stream is scheduled for 5 PM on Sunday and will feature Overwatch, I'll probably open with doing some mystery heroes before doing Quick Play matches.

So with that, have a good night folks!

The Last of Us Part II and other notes

Hi everyone,

Work tonight was okay, as we had the same clunky assignment and I question whoever said  it should only take 5 minutes. It does not take minutes to do this one interview when you have to probe and try and coax answers out of people.

Also had a job interview for a local place on the Camden water front near the Aquarium, which I hope leads to something. It would be way more hours than I'm looking for but at the same time it's also hybrid so it would be workable in that regard .

Tonight's stream of the Last of Us Part II saw us finishing the Abby's version of Seattle Day 1 and getting through the first half of Seattle Day 2. For a good portion of it I had some serious doubts about the time frame, because it looked like it was syncing up with Ellie's Seattle Day 3... but then realize and learn it does show events from Abby's point of over the same time period of each day. The character of Lev is pretty interesting as a Trans Male character (as in Female to Male... and the Abby / Owen sex scene was certainly out of left field.

Getting back to Seattle Day 2, the descent through that skyscraper was torture, and I'm not looking forward to going through the bowls of the hospital when we resume The Last of Us Part II on Friday

The Last of Us Part II Trophies

  • Relic of the Sages: Find the Strange Artifact
  • In the Field: Find 12 workbenches
  • Put My Name Up: Earn the high score in the archery game
  • Survival Training: Learn 25 player upgrades
  • Journeyman: Find all training manuals
  • Tools of the Trade: Craft every item

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/zonesama where they were playing Quake II 

Finished the Resident Evil short story commission in fairly short order while playing into the tropes of how zombies are used... and now I have another commission request to do based on modern day WWE... I don't know why people think I follow what's going on with current day WWE, but I'll somehow make it work... now I just kneed to know who the hell makes up the Damage Control group.

Real excited about an idea I have for my Headcanon series for a multi-part feature focused on the idea of What if Vegeta were Female, and I think by and large only Vegeta's relationships would be different. I already have the early years to the end of the Saiyan saga recorded, next is creating notes to cover the Namek & Frieza saga

Our next stream is slated for 5 PM on Saturday over on twitch.tv/fredcasden, and we're getting back to Cyberpunk 2077, doing whatever side quests we can before advancing the main plot to try and out pace the level scaling.

So on that note, good night everyone!
