Today's Notes 12/1/20

 Good afternoon everybody,

Yup, guess who got a late start to their day again... but I kind of have a reason for that, because after last night's stream I can an invite from AnnieTalksShow (twitch.tv/annietalksshow) to join in Twitch Sings party , and so I loaded it up and did a solid rendition of Honky Tonk Woman... sadly the Twitch Sings Party featured bugged out, and thus I went on to do some Overwatch, knocking out a few wins in Arcade mode to start working my way towards this week's free Loot Boxes. 

Also for those curious, since Twitch Sings is starting to remove songs, the current total is down to 3146, 302 of those are on my favorites list. I'll update this every day until Twitch Sings shuts down.

Today's Fitness Boxing Session was pretty good overall, a nice brisk workout, with no foot work. I'm starting to wonder if my natural boxing stance which sees me balance more on the back of my feet as opposed to the front is a hindrance or not. Watching highlights of Tyson-Jones, it does seem like I've been doing things wrong, or at least not the same way those two legends do when it comes to staying in a natural rhythm to make every motion seem consistent. It's food for thought.

Switching back to last night's stream, what I figured out last week with Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, as setting three cards in a sleight and going to down really made the battles much more entertaining to deal with, as it seems like a pure case of brawl through everything. Did run into a major problem when dealing with Oogie Boogie on the Halloween Town floor, which represents The Nightmare Before Christmas, as the battle was more of a half-assed remake of the battle associated with him in the first Kingdom Hearts game where you were on a lower platform and you need good RNG to be able to reach him on the platform he was on. That said, if these boss encounters that are basically remakes from the first continues to hold true, I don't recall there being any other major 'gimmicks' to deal with going forward.

Which of course leads us to tonight's stream which will be more of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and there is a solid chance we may start earlier than 9:30 PM EST. According to notes of game I found, it seems like I'll be running into more original boss fights against members of Organization XIII in the second half of the game following each floor I complete.... and the floore we're starting with will be Atlantica which represents The Little Mermaid. And Speaking of Organization XIII, someone at SquareEnix clearly based Larxene on Harley Quinn.

Anyway that wraps up today's note, we'll see ya 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...
