Today's Notes 11/17/20

Good afternoon everybody,

It's amazing how waking up early one day often means I'm waking up late as hell the next day, but... wait did I mention this just a few days ago? I probably did, goes to show I have very little in my puny brain.

Anyway, had a nice Fitness Boxing session today, still on Strength and Cardio at the recommended 35 Minuet setting. Had some slight issues with the Nintendo Switch's blue-tooth style wireless tracking which meant some of my misses were not actually misses but oh well. You know what's also interesting is that Fitness Boxing has a lot of unlockables for reaching various goals. And probably about the end of December, hell maybe even sooner than that I'd have him all unlocked. Probably will do that before getting Fitness Boxing 2 which comes out in a couple of weeks.

Last night's stream of Mass Effect was pretty awesome, as we cleared out Feros, primarily using the HMWSG weapon, which is basically a shotgun, granted I was using the basic variant of it, but it has given me some thought as to future play-throughs of this game. You see the PC version does not have achievements, or at least ones that can be shown to give an idea of how many people unlocked certain ones... the console versions do however, and while some require Shepard to be either be Biotic and Tech focus (such as Adept or Engineer class), there are some focused on difficult setting, namely finishing the game on Hardcore and Insanity difficult. If I can grab all the mastered version of the HMWSG and its sister gear and get a better handle on using Shepards powers I might be able to do it. Just need to make sure Shepard is at level 60 to do it on a "New Game+"and just focus flat out on the big missions.

Following last night's stream I loaded up Spock Vs Q through Audible, basically a two-man play featuring the voices of Leonard Nimoy and John De Lancie, and while it's more than twenty years old, it is an enjoyable listen, particularly with Spock just owning Q through pure logic.Highly recommend you give it a listen.

More than likely tonight's stream will focus on The Division 2, as Iceman and PowerThumbz will be working on some things in the game and so I'll just tag along to 'help' out. Could be an interesting night of bad things happening in a video game.

And on that note, we'll wrap this up! Catch ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden
