It's Christmas Eve, or as the folks in Animal Crossing New Horizons call it 'Toy Day', a great day to exchange gifts a day early to Christmas, particularly if you are going to multiple places to visit family. Now be sure to be safe when traveling, Covid-19 is still a thing and with all the latest news about it mutating already, its best to error on the side of cautions!
Speaking of errors, why is it that when Donald Trump actually wants to do something that will help out people other than himself, the Republicans fuck things up? The fact that the stimulus package that Congress agreed too with $600 wasn't much but hell it would've help some! But Trump of course said the smart thing (one of the few times he actually done so) and pointed out it should be $2000, and while the Democrats straight up agreed, the Republicans basically shot it down with no justification. Just remember folks, the United States is the only country in the world during the Pandemic where its leaders basically have said 'fuck the people'
Last night's stream for my birthday was EPIC, huge thank yous to SuperHappyPuppy, Kalenal, PandaSweet, MarvelMaven, Iceman, DaemonsW0lf and so many others who made last night feel special. It was a long night, going 7 hours, and we did a ton of duets, nearly 50! I'm trying to think of when was the last time I did a 7 hour Twitch Sings stream and it had to be last year at some point. Again thank you so much for last night folks! Also next Thursday, December 31st will be my last Twitch Sings stream, and I talked to DaemonsW0lf, we're going to do a party, those in my discord will get first opportunities to join on the fun!
I picked up the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch, and I was quick to notice that much like the Xbox One version, it's more of a slug fest on the objectives than compared to the PC version (which is what I mainly play for this game). The fact that I was able to basically get a play of the game right off the bat using McCree on the Switch basically showed me that there isn't much three-dimensional thinking on the console versions. Which is great from a PC player's perspective to just school some folks. Plus it helps that I've used McCree a ton lately on the PC version. And speaking of which I need to start working on getting 9 wins on the PC version to get the Anna Gingerbread skin.
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was kept simple staying on the regular settings. My timing was a bit off with Right Uppercuts from the Orthodox stance, while from the Southpaw side, Right Hooks, Left Weaves and Right Uppercuts were a touch problematic. We also reached the 20,000 punches throw barrier, which means I'm 1/10th of the way of catching up to my total in the original Fitness Boxing. And since I'm still continuing doing dailies with the first game, that streak is up to 171 days.
Tonight's stream will of course feature Star Trek Online, as we'll continue the Glory for the Empire series with the focus being on one of the three 'forgotten' story arcs, either Lost Dominion, Spectres, or Cold War. I'm still very much annoyed that these series of missions were turn into 'side content' when they all add to the overall story of Star Trek Online in explaining why certain things are said to the players in more recent episodes. Add onto the fact that another bunch of missions from the Federation side were scrapped, including the ones focused on Miral Paris is just a reminder of how stupid the people are at Cryptic studios. Look it's one thing to have universal content across all the faction, but the fact is there is too much parallel at the expense of making things feel unique. I would say that's just my opinion, but it's a fact.
Anyway we'll see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
