Today's Notes 11/19/20

 Good afternoon everyone,

It's Thursday or as some call it Friday Eve.... man I've played Animal Crossing New Horizons a lot if I'm starting to quote it. I have noticed that if you keep residents on your island for a long enough people of town and tell them to stay they will allow you to change their catchphrase and give you nicknames. Which is pretty cool.

Anyway, last night's stream of Mass Effect basically cleared out all of Noveria and it's follow up side-missions. But I do have something to ponder, would it not have made more sense for the Rachni Queen to take possession of the body of Matriarch Benezia who basically drops dead in front where Rachni Queen is being held. It really does raise question, particularly of where this random Asari Commando comes from... now if the bodies of those Shepard and company take down didn't disappear into the ether, it would make more sense. 

Today Fitness Boxing stream was pretty solid, I felt my timing was off a little with some of my sway back but it was a solid Strength and Cardio session. Now if you're like me and change the attire of the trainer each day, you'll notice the trainer comments on what you put them in and sometimes they are less than thrilled with the attire combinations. It is a bit silly but I get a chuckle out of it.

Tonight it's going to be the weekly Star Trek Online stream, with the focus being on wrapping up the Gamma Quadrant story arc... and I see there is a lot of new related to STO. The first big thing is the Give of Three Starships packs, From November 20th at 8am PT (17:00 CET) to November 30th at 10am PT (19:00 CET), Captains will be able to purchase the T6 Starship Coupon Gift Three Pack! This item, which costs 6000 Zen, allows you to purchase any three ships from the Zen Store at 100% off. When you purchase this item, it will appear in your inventory as three separate reward packs, one for each coupon, that are tradeable to other players! Lets keep in mind that the average costs of ships in the Zen Store is 3000 Zen, so it's basically buy two get the third free. Hell of a deal.

There are also some standard patch notes as well, which are as follows:

General:  

  • Resolved an issue that was causing the Discovery Hologram Boffs obtained from the Legendary Bundle to be commissioned with incorrect costumes that allowed improper customization. 
  • Resolved an issue that would prevent completion of the Best Served Cold Task Force Operation, if enemies were destroyed during the mission briefing.  
  • Resolved an issue that would sometimes cause the Transports to get stuck in the bases during the Best Served Cold Task Force Operation.  
  • Increased the chance for the Avenger to arrive in response to a distress call during Delta Quadrant, Hodos patrol (shuttle race)

And that will wrap up today's notes! We'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

 

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
