Today's Notes 1/17/21

Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's stream of Zero Escape 999 last 7.5 hours and I'm wondering did I run my mouth to the point two whole hours were added in comparison to the previous three Saturdays? It totally seems that way as not much was seemingly added to the story as we went for and achieved the 'safe' ending, where we learned Akane/June is Zero and the real villain if Ace. The last question is what is Santa's connection to everyone and I think it's down to him having a connection with Akane/June. Since it was the fourth time going through the story, things certainly got more Mystery Science Theater 3000 with my commentary and reactions to things as some stuff I ended up noticing that deserved being pointing out.

Of course with such a long stream it meant that I would raid the kitchen a couple of times, I do try not to each on stream and when I do, I do try not to eat anything that requires me to be careful to avoid any drips, but sometimes you just want to chow down on like some slices of apple pie or a hot pocket! And let me say that the pie was awesome! Hey there is a reason why I weighed 290 pounds back in July of last year. I like to eat!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Session was another rough one as I had some things register as misses because somehow the left joy-con got out of sync with the Switch dock, combined that with having to do step forward step back movements and it was just a mesh. The game did acknowledged I crossed the 50,000 punch barrier which was pretty cool. 

Something that was certainly a running theme last night was my constant reference to fan fiction and shipping. I haven't hide the fact that I've done a lot of both, because it's a great way of expanding on canon and letting one's imagination run wild. Why I kept bringing it up (other than the fact that Zero Escape 999 has given me at least two ideas that I might end up writing) is that on Twitter yesterday some tin foil hat wearing goofballs tried to say fan fiction and shipping was toxic...and a lot of those saying it were people who were published and professional authors. Well I'm betting those idiots wrote their fair share of fan fiction, hell many of those idiots basically have gotten paid to write fan fiction.

Tonight we'll begin a new week with Overwatch, and since I've completed the wins necessary for the new Hanzo skin I'll be playing more for fun and pride more than anything. Maybe we'll get Total Mayhem this week so we can just go ham on everything. We'll get tonight's stream started at about 7 PM EST!
