Resident Evil 6 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Work tonight was already as we closed out an assignment regarding education issues in the Los Angeles area, and it did amaze me how residents in the city have positive opinions about the schools their kids attend, but have negative views regarding the School District in general.

Tonight's stream of Resident Evil 6 saw Iceman and I replaying the first two chapters of Jake's Campaign to see if could get some Xbox achievements to pop. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me, as the in-game list of achievements says I have them. But on the positive side, We were able to get achievements to pop for Iceman so it wasn't a total loss. Now we can revisit Resident Evil 6 down the road, but it'll be quite some time before we do.

During the stream, we did pick our next Wednesday night game which will feature Journey to the Savage Planet, I know nothing about it other than it can be a co-op experience. So we'll look into that next Wednesday.

My next broadcast over on twitch.tv/fredcasden is slated for 9:30 PM Eastern and we'll be getting back to Cyberpunk 2077

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/zonesama as Cecilia Littlewing was hosting

I am in a nice string of Resident Evil short story commissions, focusing on things during the Outbreak era, and trying to write an evil Jill Valentine while also taking into account the creature called Nemesis is quite interesting.

Got some general groceries today as well, mostly ramen, pasta, some beverages, and stuff. 

Discovered that my trash was not picked up last week, so I now have two garbage bags behind my house that need to be picked up. So I'll be keeping an eye and ear out for the garbage trucks.

Had to put down that I won't be able to attend one of my cousin's Bat Mitzvah in November, primarily because of transportation being a problem combined with the possibility of starting a new job around that same time frame. 

And those are all the notes for today, have a good night folks!

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work got cancelled tonight, which was particularly frustrating as I woke up feeling awful and was in bed most of the day. Like what the hell man...

Anyway, with no work tonight, we started tonight's stream Cyberpunk 2077 at around 7 PM and ended a bit before 11 PM, we covered a lot of side quests, clearing out everything in the City Center. which took two hours before doing some Side Jobs and advancing the main story by starting Gimme Danger, which is one of the main plots. Perhaps the biggest thing done was possibly trying to lock in a character romance with Panam, who seemed pretty cool if a bit bratty.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• City Lights: Complete all gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles in City Center.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/lilmoolah_ who was also playing Cyberpunk 2077

Our next twitch.tv/fredcasden broadcast will feature Resident Evil 6 with Iceman in an attempt to get the three story related achievement that did not pop for us, two of which happened in Jake's Campaign and one in Ada's. So hopefully this will work out, plus the silliness of Resident Evil 6 gets featured one more time. The stream will start around 9:30 PM Eastern regardless of their being work or not (but of course we want work!)

 Speaking of Resident Evil, finished the 10th story in the series of commissions of putting a darker twist on it, and started the 11th installment. These are basically covering for lost work hours at this point. Also someone came to me asking if I could possibly write stories where a character is the host, which wouldn't be too hard, as I've done stuff like that in the past. To bad it's going to tie in with pro-wrestling, but I can't be choosy at this point

The Phillies had a big comeback on the Braves tonight only to lose in the 10th inning... and the fact they are playing .500 baseball at this point is concerning. They have lost too many winnable games this month.

And on that note, I'm heading to bed,

Good night everyone!

 

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work tonight was a bit of a slog, sure i was able to start some interviews, but the parameters were so tonight that people were getting disqualified depending on that they identified as. Also heard nothing back from places I applied for over the past week.

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 focused on Side Quests in the Pacifica portion of the map (South West corner) doing all gigs and available NCPD skirmishes, with a few side job tossed in that took us back to the badlands. Also finished the race with Claire and I think I may have screwed up with the dialog choices, but oh well. Did unlock the final apartment in the game.Also we passed the 50 hour mark.

We're going to continue Cyberpunk 2077 on Tuesday's stream at 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden with the big focus being on all the side quests in the corporate center area, again, we're focusing on the side quests and anything not related to the main story.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/misscammi316 who was playing Overwatch 2

Recorded parts 4 and 5 of my What if Vegeta were female series of videos for my YouTube channel, and managed to work in the Tree of Might into it as way to get the Princess of all Saiyans to go Super Saiyan. If I continue the series, I might skip the Garlic Jr part of the tale and go straight 

Got the Dragon Ball short story commission done, and I realized something when writing it, that since its set in the era that Future Trunks comes from, that means Chi-Chi would still be around as a characters.

Picked up another story commission for another Resident Evil tale, this one focusing on Chris Redfield while tying in plot points from Resident Evil Outbreak File 2.

I have a rough idea for the fifth chapter of my Persona series, just haven't had time to start it yet.

Picked up an timer to help prevent me time stuff when I attempt to cook considering how absent minded I can be. Also picked up a longer USB cable for the PS4 wireless controller to use that since I've been having stick-drift issues with the wired one.

And on that note have a good night!

 

 

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

So, picture this if you win, I go to make some pasta to have some meals prepared for this week, and the pilot on the stove won't light up on its on, thankfully I had something to ignite it, but it's just one more problem among many.

Anyway, tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was a lot of fun as per usual, even if the some random folks I got teamed with were doing their damnedest to feed the other team (Genji players I'm looking at you). Yes I had some bad matches, but when I look at the scoreboard and see we could've won if someone wasn't trying to be hero and focus on the task at hand, I waste no time in reporting players. 

Still things certainly picked up when PandaSweet joined in as I could always count on them to provide awesome support to give me more of a fighting chance since I was focused on playing Junker Queen to try and get a particular achievement. Other characters used were Moira, Tracer, Bastion, Mei, D.va, Baptiste and Brigitte. Also picked up two Plays of the Games, one as Junker Queen and the other as Moira.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/playoverwatch where of course Overwatch 2 was being played since that is the offical twitch channel

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and we'll be getting back to Cyberpunk 2077, focusing on 

Did a fair bit of writing during the day, finishing the commission requests for a Resident Evil and WWE stories, and started one based on Dragon Ball. I really do appreciate everyone who has been paying for stories.

And that's all my notes for today, have a good night folks!

 

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Went over to my brother's house for for the first time and I have to say, he and his wife have put together an awesome home. First home I've ever gone too that seemed to have a TV every where. Did give me some ideas for what to eventually do with my house.

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 was pretty eventful, as I covered all the side quests in the Badlands area, leaving two areas left to focus on in terms of general roaming around, which is going to me by big focus during the next several sessions of this game. We also actually advanced the plot, finding Hellman and meeting Panam who is a really cool companion character. I've also enjoyed the little side story with Claire and the Street Racing gimmick. 

Also, I always joked about hearing an Ice Cream truck whenever its coming by my house... and I finally took a break during a stream to go and grab something to prove it. The brain freeze was worth it.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• The Quick and the Dead: Kill or incapacitate 50 enemies while time is slowed.
• The Wasteland: Complete all gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles in the Badlands.
• The Wheel of Fortune: Interrogate Anders Hellman.

Out next twitch.tv/fredcasden stream is scheduled for 5 PM Eastern and will featuring Overwatch 2

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

The four chapter of my Persona: Dereliction series is up on the SubscribeStar page, and it sets up the next portion of things I want to feature.

Currently in progress is the first of three commission requests, which is Resident Evil featuring Kevin Ryman from Resident Evil Outbreak, focused, then that will be followed by a WWE tale which will star AJ Lee, followed by a Dragon Ball story featuring Future Trunks and Android 17.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, I need to get back to writing the fourth installment of my What if Vegeta were Female.

And on that note, good night!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Hi everyone,

Work got cancelled today, which was frustrating, but it was the least of my problems today as I fell asleep while waiting for something to be boiled, and woke up to my kitchen filled with smoke. Yeah I can doze off just sitting on a chair if I'm not focused on something. Pot was kind of ruined... but otherwise nothing bad happened... as that kind of happened to my mom a few times over the years before she passed away.

Now tonight's stream started around 8:15 PM, I could have started earlier, but we had to installed Horizon Zero Dawn and make sure all of its updates were done on the PlayStation 4. My first impressions of the game is that it's clear a combination of  the modern era Tomb Raider and God of War games, quasi-open world enviroements with things to explore, crafting systems, etc. Visually it's a good looking game, but it's plot is a bit thing so far, despite getting all thew ay to the Point Aloy is named Seeker.

I did make a few jokes about Skynet, as it's real clear that something happened involving machines and humanity being kicked to the stone age. And of course we're playing it on the lowest possible difficulty because I'll be exploring everything I can, and I'm kind of expecting it to take about 40 hours to complete, so possibly 10 to 12 streams, depending on how easy it gets to get around in the game, as I saw there are mounts

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• Followed Rost's teachings: Learned to hunt and fight alongside Rost.
• First Modification: Used a Weapon Coil or Outfit Weave on a modifiable weapon or outfit.
• Defeated the Sawtooth: Defeated the Sawtooth that threatened the Nora.
• Tore off 10 components: Detached 10 components from machines during combat.
• Triumphed in the Proving: Overcame adversity and placed first in the Proving. 

Our next twitch.tv/fredcasden stream  Saturday night is scheduled for 5 PM Eastern, but I may be running late, really depends on when my brother swings by in the afternoon. When it does get started, we're back to Cyberpunk 2077 

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/zonesama who was playing Splatoon 3

Finished up the 8th installment of a commissioned series Resident Evil stories and got the go head to work on the 9th. Made the client happy in not just skipping over the Outbreak era of the franchise to include lesser known characters.

Nearly finished the fourth chapter of my Persona series, just need to write the ending and get it formatted for PDF uploads.

Had to take a test involving Excel for a possible job opportunity, but that was a slight problem since I don't have Microsoft Office, instead I used Libre Office and was able to get it done.

So on that note, I'm going to bed! Good night!

The Expanse, Gundam Evolution and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work was another rough night, and I have to say this, I think I prefer to be hung up on quick rather than having to go through my entire introduction. 

Also had a job interview today, and I really feel the person who I was talking to was a complete idiot, as it was clear to me they didn't want to do their job.

Tonight's stream opened with episode four The Expanse, and while it was nice, and had a puzzle that I couldn't figure out, it was painfully short. Telltale Games really dropped the ball in regards to giving players any sense of immersion beyond making the people get an idea of who Drummer is. You spend 90% of the episode alone, and the last 10% setting up the final episode which drops in two weeks time.

So with that done, we loaded up Gundam Evolution for the first time in 44 days, and runninginto instances of people leaving matches to have them thrown, we managed to win three games and got called the MVP! We did unlock the ability to play ranked matches, but no one was playing that mode, so we couldn't get any ranked achievements.

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and we'll be starting up Horizon Zero Dawn. I see it has a 'Story' Difficulty, so we'll certainly be engaging the plot armor!

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Achievements

• Drone Dodger: Made it past the Drones in the Mines without being caught
• The Pit and the Pirates: Complete Episode 4 of The Expanse

Gundam Evolution Achievements

• Rookie: Reach Player Level 10
• Ace Pilot: Get MVP in a Casual or Ranked Match

For the raid went over to twitch.tv/xlunagoddess who was playing Starfield!

After 20+ years I finally found volumes 4 & 7 of the Resident Evil novels by SD Perry, so I now have the complete set!

Did some writing today, worked a bit on Chapter 4 of my Persona AU fic, as well as knocking out another commission based on the Spider-Man MCU films. Next commission request is Resident Evil

Saturday's stream may start a little late, I'm going to see if I can visit my brother's house that afternoon, 

Hope everyone has a good night!
