Overwatch, Tweaks To The Stream Layout, Bots and more

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of course featured Overwatch, and big thanks to PandaSweet for joining in on matches! I believe we won more than we loss over the course of the evening. In terms of who I used, D.va, Moira, Mercy, Tracer and Mei were featured.

With the Halloween event coming up, I switched everyone's skins over to their Halloween variants, thankfully  D.va finally got one last year! I am excited to see who gets new Halloween themed skins this year. 

Did pick up two plays of the game as D.va last night as well, and it's really been the year of D.va when it came to to getting big time plays.

There was a bit of weirdness where Overwatch's in-game voice chat went down for everyone, but since I have a Discord, Panda and I were still able to chat during all the chaos.

The stream did see a fair shat of bots last night, and not all were the hoss bots, but since I've gotten fairly good at at banning and blocking them, and I have no issue of putting the action on hold, dealing with them is not an issue for me.

We've also made more tweaks and adjustment to the stream so the game capture area takes up a good portion of things and serves as the top layer, while I am in the bottom right corner, chat box is above me, bit boss is above that and that the top is the logo.

Following the stream we sent the fun over to Flint_Locke at twitch.tv/flint_locke who was continuing their journey through Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Meakashi!  It's a visual novel mystery, and Flint does a full on Reading Along stream with a few of their friends, which makes things rather silly at times!

I watched episodes 2 to 8 of Clarkson's Farm over on Amazon, and not only is it interesting to see what it's like to be a Farmer, but also seeing more the direct impact COVID-19 had on Farmers.It does amaze me exactly how fucking insane the amount of paper work involved in farm work. That said I'd be very interesting in seeing another season of it, as the final episode certainly showed just how nuts harvest time can be.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout lasted 28 minutes with the following exercises: Body Uppercut Combo, Uppercut Combo #2 and Body Hook Combo. The estimated calorie burn was 436 kcal. We reached Monster Weight Puncher Lv. 3 and there is a level 4 to reach which required 450,000 HITs

My weight has been stable at about 246 pounds , so that seems to be the next barrier to push through in the coming weeks, as getting past the 250 pounds mark took a while.

Trying to remember old Chrono Cross fan fics from 20 years has me wondering how to handle the Serge swap with Lynx, who is a Demi-Human. The first attempt didn't turn out a good result.

I do have to run off to the Post Office today to drop off my mail-in ballot's for the General Election here in New Jersey that is taking place in November. Why wouldn't every do the mail-in ballots? It just makes sense.

Phillies had their chance to really close the gap with the Braves, but they loss on Sunday afternoon while the Braves won. So now the Phillies have six games left, three against the Braves... and they are all must-win. And at this point I doubt the Phillies will end the season with a winning record.

For tonight's stream, we are kicking off the 'spooky season' with Ghostubsters; The Video Game Remastered... and we'll use the Xbox Series S console for this, so we'll be keeping the Xbox achievement streak going!

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


Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
