Today's Notes 12/14/20

Good afternoon everyone,

We woke up early enough to get in a bonus stream, this time officially breaking in Fitness Boxing 2 as the new morning standard. Setting things up for a heavy workout, I can safely say that Fitness Boxing 2 does a better job of keeping me on pace than the first one did, but then again, we basically have to start over for the beginning, which means we're unlocking all the exercises again. That said, this did show off how glaring Lin's dialog and instructions being a mix of old and new is, as it can be a bit jarring. Also because of the length of the workout session, I did get to experience the No Mercy mode, in which in the instructor basically goes all drill sergeant, which is quite the change up in personality. As you see the results screen is quite different, but all the important stats are there. Really surprised my Fitness Age was at 23, when I'm really use to seeing it around 18-20, guess having too many 'okay' punches and misses really count against me. Oh almost forgot, yesterday did a weigh in and I was at 260 pounds!

We followed that up with a little Animal Crossing New Horizons, and we picked up our new resident in Hopper yesterday. He's clearly more of an elderly dude near as I can tell, wonder how well his personality will gel with everyone elses. Also for some reason Sherb said he was hacking things, which was totally weird. I wonder if his line of dialog was mentioned because I don't really spend the Nook Miles I've accumulated. I probably should though. 

We closed out the morning stream with Super Mario Bros 35, a single run through because things got off to a good start, and we battled our way to a 2nd place finish. Probably could've came in first if I didn't have to use my coins to try and get myself the power-ups needed to survive the amount of enemies that appeared on screen. Still finished in the top 5 is nothing to sneeze at!

Of course, we have to talk about last night's stream of Overwatch, which saw just about every match be a Quick Play match, which meant I was mostly playing Tank and Support, as was the case with PandaSweet when she joined in the fun! Of course we learned from last week and in the last hour we queued up as damage heroes only, which meant we got in some matches with other characters. I continue to work on using McCree when ever I can, having gotten better at moving around the payload to try and stall as much as possible, but he doesn't really have the kit to survive for long if my team's tanks aren't attacking on the payload.

Tonight we'll be back to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories picking up on the 11th Floor of Castle Oblivion. With luck we'll get through the 11th and 12th floors along with the related bosses with as little trouble as possible, but if the battle against Vexen was any indication last Monday, this could be a complete slog of a night.  

On a side note note, an author I've been following for a quite some time on the fan fiction front that uses the handle Drace Domino recently had a book published called Rise of the Battlebitch, consideri I'm a big fan of their work, I figured I'll give it a read when I get the opportunity.

And on that note, we'll see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
