Today's Notes 8/6/21: Roblox and Rogue Lineage are Banned

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream got off to a very unusual start with over 70+ coming into my chat pushing for me to play Rogue Lineage which is apparently something based on Roblox, but because they were very aggressive with how they were spamming it, I can safely say I will not do anything related to Roblox on my channel ever. On the plus side, a good portion of those people chilled out once I said to stopped spamming... but those who didn't got banned, even folks who donated a couple of bucks to the the channel. That said, that entire fiasco did lead to me reaching a couple of milestones in Twitch.

  1. Talk to Me: Get 25 People chatting at the same time to unlock additional VIP badges
  2. Talk A Little: Get 20 people chatting at the same time to unlock additional VIP badges

So we had that going for us. But what's sad is that the Rogue Lineage thing looked interesting, and under normal circumstances I would have checked it out. But now Roblox and everything related to is is banned from my channel.

Now when things gradually settled down, last night's stream did feature Star Trek Online, and we were able to knock out all the endeavor quests, three were spaced focused... but one saw once again the need to play 'Assault on Terok Nor' and I wasted no time with that, basically sprinting from each major area, leaving the PUGs I was to clean up any left overs.

Afterward, my attention turned to Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes on the PlayStation 2. It it was one the rarest games I own, and we had some fun with it. It is amazing how block heavy the AI becomes once you reach the 4th battle in the arcade mode, it basically becomes a battle against the clock. So I resorted to adjusting the in-game timer from 99 to 60, and even then time out losses were quite possible but any advantage i could get I was able to keep for the most part.

Anyway, here is the list of clips of things from last night.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 408 kcal. I was moving a little... shall we say, slowly this morning, more so to how cool it felt today, so we did not do anything extra. We're now up to 66 out of 100 for the Karen's Best Friend achievement. 

Of course I have also been messing around with Dr Kawashima's Brain Training as well this week...  and if I ever needed insulting about how my brain works, that has become a daily reminder.

For tonight's stream, I'm not completely feeling like messing around with Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep... and I'm leaning towards placing that game with Dead Space as something I played 1/3 of and figured it's just not for me because of the game play. We mess around with a short game of some kind tonight. We'll see see.

And on that note we'll see you later tonight 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...
