We Did A Little Of Everything Last Night in FFXIV

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV saw a little of everything, a couple of Raids, some leveling up for my roles as Dancer, Botanist, Fisherman and Lancer. I did try to dedicate trying Astrologian, but the first job quest really does a poor job of laying out how to use the abilities for the role.


Beyond that I did do one Main Story Quest, which saw us catching up with a few of the other Scions to see who will be apart of the story early on. Needless to say I loved that Y'shtola was caught napping in the library when we went to recruit her. I do wonder on if some new designs were considered to show some sort of passage of time, but then again, a number of the Scions did get a makeover rather recently

Also messed around a bit with the Easter event which is a cute little story, and is proof that I should pay attention to the events that take place in Final Fantasy XIV..  Following the stream I did advanced the MSQ to get the new dungeon done, and it certainly was interesting. Having to navigate while being spun around was nerve racking.

For last nights raid we dropped in on Oldish22 who was focused on the PVP aspect of Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/oldish22! 

Made a few OBS tweaks mainly for the camera to be where it covers the chat box in most games that I play, this would of course be in regards to Final Fantasy XIV, Star Trek Online and Overwatch. Plus it makes me look huge! 

The Phillies lack of quality pitching is already being exposed early in the season, because if the line-up doesn't put up big numbers, there is no chance they'll win.

I've been on Twitter for 13 years... certainly doesn't seem like it, then again at one point I did a complete wipe of everything I tweeted to reset myself.

Bam Bam Bigelow was trending on Twitter late last night... all because Kim Kardashian happened to be dressed in a manner that reminded people of him. Talk about weird! 

Speaking of WWE, there is a once again a trend to blame THQ for the quality or lack their of when it came to a lot of the issues with various WWE games post WWE SmackDown: Here Comes The Pain. Let me remind folks that THQ was the publisher, the developers were Yuke's, aka the people that has yet to create an actual demo for AEW despite having nearly 20 years experience working on wrestling games.


Considering the trend (as of late) when I do have work it tends to favor morning workers, I might curtail my workouts to where I do the 30 minute daily, then jump right into work. It kind of worked out yesterday. That said, Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Uppercut Combo #1, Body Straight Combo and Triple Combo #1 and due to circumstances I was able to put in some Free Training as well. I can safely say the weekly stats for this week will not look as good as compared to last week when I look at the totals tomorrow.

25 years ago, when HBO had a major comedy special, you knew the person being featured was going to have some fresh material to work it, and you didn't really know what they were going to do... but now a days, with their continued obsesses with Bill Maher, you do know what you're going to get. A contrarian who hasn't been funny in any shape way or form since the 1980s. 

For tonight's stream we're back to Persona 5 Royal, and I believe we are about to start the fourth story arc, where Futaba starts to make an appearance. At least that is my general understanding of what's upcoming based on fan fiction and fan art.

SO 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...
