Where we are in Chrono Cross; the stupidity of Conservatives who are Pro-Life

Good morning everyone,

We had a great night of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers edition, as we covered everything from Water Dragon Isle up through recruiting Radius. I did try to strategize a lot to preplanning for all the boss encounters by stocking up on various elements since we had to go through a dozen boss battles, not to mention various puzzles at some points. The real disappointment of not having more achievements based on dealing with bosses is real downer, as it puts a stronger emphasis on doing multiple New Game Plus runs. We also experienced major instances of frame rate dropping within the game during some sequences and battles. I do want to put some serious work in using Sprigg in battles to try and build up enough of a roster to try and recruit Janice, but this does put me at a heavy disadvantage. Of course what would make that easier is finding the Forget-Me-Not-Pot in Chronopolis, but that is much later in the game.

Also discovered another glitched achievement in this game upon reaching the labyrinth in Fort Dragonia... so this will certainly warrant another play-through to deal with the glitches and bugs on the achievement front... to go along with getting 99 stars and going for all the alternate endings.. Also I see a lot of notes about the Battle Boost system... which is a bit odd to me, but I will probably make use of it when facing the end boss of the game. On a side note, I looked up in my journal that it took 10 streams to finish Chrono Cross last year, tonight will be night four for the Radical Dreamers edition so we're about on the same pace.

For the raid we dropped in on YRGamerBunni who was playing Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition over at twitch.tv/YRGamerBunni!

Over 20 years ago, George Carlin did a stand up special that basically formed my view on abortion, you know the one, the one that points out the obvious that most of the people who are against abortion are people one would not want to fuck in the first place, that these people are anti-woman, wanting live babies to raise them to be dead soldiers, that these people do not want to help in anyway with the raising of these kids, and I can give a big example of that, because my younger brother went to the Head Start program, which was constantly under threat by conservatives in the early 90s to have its funding cut.

The argument of life beginning at fertilization, and that the unborn is more valuable than the woman whose body is at risk has always bothered me. If a woman wants to have a baby, that their choice. If they want to have an abortion, that is their choice. It is that simple, And for those who want to bring up the 10th Amendment, let's remember that most of the states below Maryland were fighting in favor of slavery, which is their attitude towards women. Oh they can't have slaves, so instead they want broodmares... in short, forcing women into slavery to birth children that the conservatives refuse to assist with!

And let's not forget how so many 'Anti-Vaccine' morons, mostly men, are saying that 'My Body My Choice' only apply to them, and how hard they fight for the 2nd Amendment, even though guns have resulted in an every increasing year after year death toll, particularly in and around schools.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily work out featured Beginner Combo #1, Front-Back Step Combo and Uppercut Combo #2. This was also the 666th consecutive day of working out I've done since starting with the original Fitness Boxing in 2020. Granted its day 508 of just Fitness Boxing 2, but we'll get to do the 666 joke again in 158 days, which is like October 8 of this year. With Bernardo's Contender unlocked, we'll now switch to Laura as the trainer for the next several weeks.

Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise EX Achievements

  • Bernardo's Contender: Train with Bernardo for over 30 hours
  • 92% of all EX Achievements acquired. 
  • 14 out of 30 hours trained for Laura's Contender

Knocked out a commissioned fan fic based around the WWE's Mixed Match challenge yesterday, and it's always nice to get paid promptly for things like that. I really should set rates for things like that though.

Managed to knock out a bunch more achievements in Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle following last night's stream. The game does have 55 achievements and I already banged out 45 of them, so I guess we'll go for the full completion at this point. Granted one of the remaining ones requires a lot of luck in getting (a golden toilet seat), and another requires playing the 'Daily Death' 13th times. Getting those consecutive kills in Murder Marathon was rather mind numbing, but hey as of right now I just have to grind out the rest to get to 1000 kills.

Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle Achievements

  • Grindhouse: Got 20 consecutive kills in Murder Marathon.
  • Shock Absorber: Electrocuted Jason on a fence.
  • Shocking Offense: Scared a victim into an electric fence.
  • Death Toll: 3: Killed Brock, Suzi and Chad.
  • Wasteland: Completed every puzzle level of Wasteland.
  • Gorefest: Got 30 consecutive kills in Murder Marathon.
  • Notorious: Reached rank 30 blood lust.
  • Decimation: Reached a body count of 250.
  • Beam Me Up: Went through a teleporter of each color.
  • Future Shock: Completed every puzzle level of Future Shock.
  • Kablooey: Blew Jason up on a mine.

The 76ers loss the Heat last night really shows the huge difference Joel Embiid makes when he's not available. Their failure to beat the Raptors in Game 4 and again in Game 5 is certainly going to be the defying games of post-season, no question about it.
