Xfinity Crippled Last Night's Stream

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream certainly had a lot of problems thanks to Xfinity. We started at a bit after 6:30 PM Eastern because I went out of my way to reset my modem to try and prevent any issues, and there was a patch update for Final Fantasy XIV. At 7:17 PM Eastern we had a break in the stream due to the network service provided by Xfinity becoming unstable. This happened again at 7:23 PM, then at 7:38 PM, at which point I started trying to get a live person on the phone. It took having to schedule a call back to reach someone, at which point when I'm talking to them live the network becomes unstable at 7:57 PM and again at 8:04 PM. This basically resulted in the first hour and half of the stream being basically worthless in terms of the archives. And they have the balls to say I would be charged for any changes of equipment that may end up having to take place. Needless I fucking went ballistic, because I have NEVER been charged when anything needed replacing in the past. 

Now after that call and making it real clear what I'm expecting with Saturday's Technician visit, we managed to have a stable stream the rest of the way to about 11:30 PM. We did the usual stuff Botanty level grinding, Fishing, some Alliance Raids, Trials and Dungeons plus some PVP. I really hate having incomplete streams in the archives. Thing is one could really tell by my body language that I was completely taken out of the mood for last night's stream with all the issues that plagued a large chunk of it.

For last night's raid, we dropped in on Oldish22 who was also playing Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/oldish22

I did take a glance at the that January 6th hearings after last night's stream, and if anything the Republican party is being exposed for just wanting to stay in power by any and all means. That said, I wonder how badly Donald Trump is going to bitch out Ivanka for her saying under oath she believed the election wasn't stolen.

I did add a few additions to my Camp Site in Fallout 76, the water slide and collection to make things a little more odd. I'm considering possibly relocating my camp to another location, but not 100% sure what would be a good spot.

The Phillies swept the Brewers and I'm surprised they are keeping this momentum, but it's clearly not to sustainable with the current roster and obvious limitations of the  pitching staff. 

Got into some Smite matches after the stream and thankfully there were no issues and we picked up an achievement as well, getting the 50th kill streak with Esst.

SMITE Achievements

  • Can't Stop This: Get 50 killing sprees in qualifying matches.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Hook Combo #2, Body Straight Combo and Body Uppercut Combo. Duration was 31 minutes. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge comes out on June 16, and is developed / published by the same folks who made Streets of Rage 4, so I'm expecting the same level of quality there. Looks like for those getting the game on the Nintendo Switch there will be a 10% discount through June 22.

The Capcom Fighting Collection has a release date of June 24, and there will be a bundle option that includes exclusive illustrations and remixed music, plus Three Wonders for Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. 

Speaking of Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium that has a release date of July 22

For tonight's stream Persona 5 Royal is on deck, and here's hoping we won't have any issues. The plan will be to tackle the final leg of the December 24th gauntlet and then head into the story that carries things into January. I know we have one more palace to tackle

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...
