Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 saw has focusing on side jobs and side activities in Cyperpunk 2077, as I have resigned myself to the fact that I have a bit of OCD when it comes to side quests in open world games, because sure I can go and do the main story directly, but considering how stuffed the game is with things to do, and how in every other open world game I've played over the years I tend to do everything anyway, I might as well go all in with Cyberpunk 2077 in that same regard.

One of the things we accomplished was hitting max Street Cred, which basically opens up a lot of content as well as gear that has that as a requirement. I also have a better understand of the skill tree, and figuring out how to use the various hacking abilities, as I now have used sneaking around a lot more frequently instead of charging straight away into most combat situations.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

  • Legend of The Afterlife: Reach max Street Cred.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/kalenal where Kal was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Our next stream is scheduled for Sunday night at 5 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will feature Overwatch 2, and I might repeated what was done last week, open up with doing Mystery Heroes and then Quick Play matches.

Knocked out the fourth of a series of short story commissions involving the WWE, and thankfully the next commission on the docket is based on Resident Evil.

Also, starting today, I will be posting stories over on Archive of our Own.

The Phillies have lost three games in a row, two of which they should have won, and I was right to worry about their offense starting to go cold.

And on that note, I'm going to bed, have a good night everyone!

The Last of Us Part 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

With it being Labor Day weekend, I was already griping about having a three day weekend,  but then work got cancelled to give everyone a four day weekend. Seems nice right? Not when you're like me and taking every hour you can get.

Oh well, we did start the stream tonight at 7 PM and we finished The Last of Us Part 2, in fact the stream ended a couple minutes after midnight after realizing how short the final act of the game is . I really have a lot of positive things to say about this game, in fact I would dare say it's one of the best games I've played this year, which is saying a lot when one considers Saints Row, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Persona 3 Portable are on that same list.

I really don't see where people had a problem with TLOU2, unless you're were MAGA Hate wearing, Trump Loving, transphobic, homophobic cuck with a small dick, there's no reason to hate on this game, because everything about address the biggest problems with the first game to such a large degree it actually made me the world building. 

While it may be quite some time until I do, I wouldn't mind replaying The Last of Us Part 2 down the road to get some trophies that can only be done in a New Game Plus run.

The Last of Us Part II Trophies

  • High Caliber: Find all weapons
  • What I Had to Do: Complete the story

So what is replacing The Last of Us Part 2 on Friday nights going forward? Well Horizon Zero Dawn is what I selected, and yeah we could say that 2023 is the year for me playing open world games. I heard a lot of good things about HZD, so I hope it lives up to the hype.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/oldish22 who was playing Path of Exile

Our next stream is scheduled for 5 PM Eastern on Saturday with the continuation of Cyberpunk 2077.

Got a lot of writing done today, finished one commission story based on current day WWE and got started on another one, and I have one for Resident Evil in line as well. So yeah, three stories ended up being put in the queue.

Got some dinner from a local joined called Donkey's Place, which has these great cheese-steak sandwiches, which I haven't had in a long time. Also realized they sell shirts as well, which I was rocking on tonight's stream.

So on that note have a good night!
