Today's Notes 1/22/21

Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's stream started with The Division 2 and it was a ton of fun, as Iceman, PowerThumbz (twitch.tv/powerthumbz), FnDanteSavage (twitch.tv/fndantesavage) and I finished up the latest manhunt. Even though I was a bit late because of work, we tore through the objectives at a good pace, even though I caught more damage than normal, but I guess that can be the case when you're playing with buddies, and general silliness can take place. Once the manhunt was completed, I went on to do some Star Trek Online, just some general task force operations, and it's a good thing I did as the count down to the anniversary event began, and there are daily rewards for logging in and checking the promotions tab.

Speaking of Star Trek Online, it was announced today that with the release of STO's 11th Anniversary update, they are releasing a feature that will allow players of all factions to fly the ships of their choice regardless of the default allegiance of that ship... which is basically something I said should have been the case going back to the obvious fuck up involving the Titan class ship back in December. Access to this feature will be automatically granted to any and all accounts that have at least one character that reached level 65 as a member of the Klingon Defense Force from start to finish. That means when creating a character you must selected Klingon Defense Force, not Romulan Republic or Dominion, the character has to be a species related to the Modern Klingon Empire (so Klingon, Gorn, Orion, Nausicaan or any other citizens that you can select when creating a KDF character). For players like myself who already have that done, simply log in with your Level 65 KDF character to have that status verified to have access to Cross-Faction Starships. Obviously this will be for when the 11th Anniversary Update goes live.

And my copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES for the Playstation 2 arrived yesterday, I am curious how many cheap games for that system I can found here in 2021 to build up that collection since I will be freeing up a lot of shelf space this year.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was another 30 minute one, but based on how things track with the game, I should see some things increasing the next few days as it seems to have a pattern. Remember normally Mondays are the days I hit Fitness Boxing 2 the strongest since I'm often streaming those sessions on twitch. Anyway we followed things up with ab it of Animal Crossing and even some Overwatch on the switch, hell I even earned a play of the game as Reinhardt which was pretty sweet. I also compared the latency between the Switch and PC versions, and both are about the same, granted the Switch runs off of WiFi as opposed to the hard wired connection for my PC.

Tonight we'll be playing Saints Row The Third: Remastered and continuing the adventures of the Boss as we claim Steelport piece by piece. So expect a lot of side mission things being done first, including what I think are the pain in the ass Guardian Angel helicopter missions. Granted we did a couple of those on Monday, but they were all Piece focused and I think there are some for Kinzie as well. Anyway we'll get the stream started at about 9:30 PM EST

And on that note 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...
