Today's Notes 12/27/20

Good afternoon everybody,

A new week begins as the year comes to an end and boy I think we are all hoping for 2021 to get here as soon as possible so we can put a lot of things behind us.

Last night's stream featuring Zero Escape: The Nonary Games was a lot of fun on my first play through of it, getting the awesome Ax ending where my joking nickname for Clover being 'cleaver' because she totally gave off the psycho vibe when I saw DaemonsW0lf playing this game was proven to be true. Just looking at the sentence back and yup, confirmed I type how I speak as in 'not well'. Anyway it was a pretty straight forward affair, as again, seeing the game recently streamed on DaemonsW0lf's channel meant I had a good idea of how to handle certain puzzles so to get through to the Ax ending it took six hours. I'm thinking to pursue the other endings, we'll play this game straight out again until we get the true ending... so almost a guarantee Saturday nights will seem like re-runs, but hey it's a great replacement for Twitch Sings to kick off the new year.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session saw the addition of Front-Back step movements and boy was I dreading those, as my timing with them was horrible. On top of that, I accidentally advanced the screens ahead, meaning I couldn't see exactly what punches were badly timed from either the orthodox and southpaw stances. We did pass 24,000 in terms of total punch count today for FB2, so we'll take what we can get for daily note purposes. 

Over in Animal Crossing New Horizons, Maggie will be moving off of my island, now I can safely say the only ones I know for sure that I'm never letting leave are Antonio, Agnes, Blanche, Audie and Skye, as their personalities seem to gel very well. I'm still kicking myself for letting Sherb replace Cube, even if they have the same quirks, Cube was awesome. Also picked up the Island Togetherness stamp which was a result of chatting with all the residents on my island on 50 different days. So progress made.

Tonight being Sunday means of course Overwatch is on the agenda, and of course we'll be playing the PC version, even though I have the ability to play it on Xbox One and Switch. Blizzard really dropped the ball in terms of not developing cross play, or at the very least allowing cross-progress tracking. Oh well, hopefully that gets resolved with Overwatch 2, which we should learn more about in about a month or so if what I'm seeing is correct.

And on that bombshell, we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
