More Persona 4 Arena... More Xfinity Troubles

Good morning everyone,

Well last night's stream of Persona 4 Arena wasn't all in one session, as the stream got broken into three parts... because we had two stream interruptions / resets thanks to Xfinity. Now my internet didn't go down fully, but there were some issues that certainly persisted throughout the day of the upstream just hanging... and this goes to when I was working yesterday afternoon as well. I did call Xfinity last night after a modem reset to see what's involved with swapping the 2 cable boxes I have for a wireless variant. Not it took nearly 40 minutest to questions answered over what could be done to make things as seamless as possible as well as inquiring about the unlimited data cap plan option. Sad part was I didn't get all the questions I wanted answered because I was put on hold for 15 minutes of said call.

Now for the gaming of Persona 4 Arena, we covered two story arcs fully, first Mitsuru and then Naoto, and combined they took over four hours to get through. Granted I started off doing full narration of Mitsuru's story for the first hour, but even with setting the speed of the text to fast, there is a lot ground covered. I did find Naoto's to be more engaging as every other 'chapter' had a fight that had to be played, so the story of how events played out from their perspective to be a lot of fun. Not to mention, Naoto seems to be the most progressive character in terms of basically being gender neutral to some degree.

We also did an arcade run with Labrys, and both does she have some real wonky attack patterns to learn to be effective with. I did like her post-match trash talk of everyone on the arcade ladder. Did managed to figured out her Instant-Kill move which was pretty bad ass. Also learned it can be blocked.

Big thanks to RedFoxCovUK for resubscribing to my Twitch Channel last night, as well to the anonymous cheerers who tossed in quite a few bits!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Uppercut Combo, Hook Combo #2 and Advanced Combo #2 for 31 minutes. I did do an extra 17 minutes of exercise to make up for waking up late yesterday

Played a couple of Arena matches in Smite, wining one and losing the other... but managed to get one of the achievements associated with Thanatos. I'm getting closer to having 50% of the in-game achievements for Smite... but the overall total was increased to 306 with the recent addition of Lancealot

SMITE Achievements

• Reaper of Souls: As Thanatos silence 15 enemies out of their abilities.

I will say this, when it comes to the election for US Congress in Pennsylvania, anyone that votes for Lisa Scheller is a fucking idiot. Because think about this, what was one thing Trump was all about 'China this and China that'... well Scheller is a Republican who is the CEO of Silberline Manufacturing Co. Inc and during her time in that role, the company has eliminated 60% of their American workforce, closed one manufacturing facility in Carbon County, PA... while opening another in China. The truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Will be revisited this year... with the PS4 version, as before we'll do the story mode and play various matches and so forth. What is notably about BBCTB is that its a cross-over of Persona 4 with BlazBlue with Under Night In-Birth with RWBY. But if I remember right the original released didn't have an arcade ladder of any kind.

For tonight's stream the plan is of course to play Fallout 76, I will of course progress my own story and more than likely we'll be joined by Iceman to knock out some daily stuff via his Fallout 1st Immortality world. So it should end up being silly.

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