Chrono Cross'ing Xfinity Problems

Good morning everyone,

Well last night we started up Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, using the Xbox One S console, and while the remastered music, graphics and sound all look great there are a couple of issues with the game itself. One being that the very first achievement getting through the dream version of the Labyrinth did not pop as expected. I go back to nab it by using the fast forward function I also saw some major league frame rate slow down during the post battle stuff against Lynx for the first trip though Viper Manor. 


To make this play through different than the one we did back in the fall of last year, I went with recruiting Guile instead of Nikki, which presented a few interesting problems in that Guile has fewer elemental slots, plus we're going with the not saving Kid route, which means we'll recruit Glenn. This does mean we will miss out on Razzly and how epic her magic is against Yellow innate enemies. This also means getting the Delta Force achievement will be off the table as well. Yes I know Glenn is also a green innate character, but the running joke of Razzly dropping a huge star on peopel's heads was one of the highlights of last year's play through of the original Chrono Cross.

Of course the biggest issue of the night was for the three time in three days (twice on Saturday), the stream went down to too issues with Xfinity, and thus the stream was divided into two parts, not by my own choice. It was so bad I had to do a fully on Modem Reset manually. The two previous occurrences (as seen during the marathon of Persona 5 Royal at between 2:30 AM and 3 AM back on Saturday, then during the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai stream on Saturday night at about 9 PM. Hell when Twitch's own Inspector site is giving me break down of Network errors, and Xfinity's own app says the modem has no signal, it is clearly on Xfinity's end.

For the raid, we dropped in on Redneck_23 who was playing Farming Simulator 19 over at twitch.tv/redneck_23

Blizzard did post that anyone who is invited to play the Beta of Overwatch 2 will be allowed to stream it at any point during the beta period of the game. So hopefully we'll be able to take part in it. On a side note, did play a quick ranked match in Overwatch last night, scoring a win with 63% of the eliminations as D.va.

Elon Musk has bought out Twitter... since I mostly use it to post things related to my Twitch channel, I don't see anything changing unless he does what is expected and reinstates Donald Trump and goes out to protect his fellow psychopath. Because anyone Trump calls a 'Good Man' is clearly a scum bag. 


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Straight Combo, Uppercut Combo #1, Weaving Combo #1 and Intermediate Combo #2. Since Intermediate Combo #2 was set on No Mercy difficulty, I was able to get a perfect score on it, which sets the highest record possible for that exercise on that setting.

The Philadelphia 76ers handed games four and five to the Toronto Raptors and now risk some major embarrassment considering how dominate they were in the first three games of the series. Yes Joel Embiid is now playing hurt, which means this is where James Hardan has to be the superstar talent he is known to be, 

Sony announced plans for a sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, to be the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe to follow up on the post-credits scene that showed Winston bringing the ECTO-1 back to the firehouse. Again moving on from the old team to a new team makes all the sense in the world, afterall, that is why many of us have fond memories of Extreme Ghostbusters from 1997. why Ghostbusters: The Video Game's  introducing of the Rookie (or Rookies if you played the PS2/Wii version) made so much sense. However, Bill Murray has landed himself in hot water with his at this point, very well documented issues during film productions.

For tonight's stream the plan is to continue Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, picking up right where we left off to pretty much recruit Glenn straight away.

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...
