Today's Notes 4/3/21

 Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's stream featured Forza Horizon 4 which means last night marked the first time we used the Xbox Series S on stream, and outside of when I was going into photo mode to take pictures of cars, there was barely any loading times. We spent a good chunk of the stream on Lego Island because the Lego Mini Cooper is clearly the best car in the game for just about everything. We certainly had a lot of fun to the point we'll have to keep Forza Horizon 4 in mind for nights where I have no real plans.

Clip Of The Night: That Photo Finish!

My copy of My Little Pony / Transformers: Friendship in Disguise arrived yesterday afternoon, and it's a nice brisk read, with short comics pairing up various cast members of both shows, such as Rarity and Arcee, Discord, Fluttershy & Soundwave, etc, and it does come across as we're seeing more side-stories that would take place along side a bigger plot. That's not a bad thing, because it fits the tone of My Little Pony perfectly, however considering some of that shows more epic tales (the Canterlot Wedding episode for example), I would imagine an animated featured would be epic. And I found out there is a sequel mini-series in production with the trade collection coming out in November with it seeming like it's gonna take place in the Transformer's universe. So I wonder if the style of the story for that will be reflective of that franchise.

Republicans and Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves for being happy about Georgia's blatant voter suppression actions, and you know companies like Coca-Cola and Delta are going to feel it. But the funny thing is Republicans and Conservatives are really pissed that Major League Baseball has moved the All-Star game that was scheduled to be in Atlanta this year, and are using the hash tag of Cancel MLB for making that decision. Think about it what the All-Star game involves, it's three-days of Baseball games coming to one major city for at least three days, which means a shit ton of revenue for local businesses, hotels, restaurants and such. All of that will go to another city, and the people of Atlanta have their own governor to blame for it because he's a Trump supporter.

Today's Ftiness Boxing 2 session was a long one with two bonus exercises being done and a realization that the 'Best Friend' achievement for each trainer is very weird in how it is scored. That said, the daily set was mostly on point, with a few misses here and there, but nothing to bad. It is funny on how I feel I'm not getting a good rotation for when doing Right handed movements from the Southpaw stance as of late. It's probably due to my stance and trying to keep a good view of the monitor, because I had the same issue before with regard to Left handed movements from the Orthodox stance when I was in a different corner of the room.

Tonight's stream will be focused on Zero Escape Zero Time Dilemma as we resume the story with Team D (Diana, Sigma and Phi) as we work our way through the different timelines and such. Once we covered all we can with them we'll turn our focus back to Team C (Carlos, Junpei and Akane) because we did unlock some new plot points for them last week. 

Anyway, we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
