A Nearly Event Free Night

 Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV was mostly issue free, with only two interruptions that happened at 8:48 PM Eastern and 8:58 PM Eastern. Unlike Wednesday night with Fallout 76, the disruptions were enough to kick me from Final Fantasy XIV both times... thankfully I was not doing anything in a group when that happened. From what I can tell, it looks like signal interference.

As for what we did on stream, we did the usual routine of an Alliance Raid and a Trial, that ended up being the final showdown with Elidibus at the end of Shadowbringers, which I haven't done since first playing it... so needless to say re-learning it was interesting. We hit level 90 with Fishing, so that's maxed, and we did some power leveling on Botany, we only have two story quests for Botany left to do, and with luck we'll be able to knock those out on next week's stream. I thought we could some power leveling with Dragoon, but no such luck, but that's like a long haul project anyway.

We also did some Just Chatting, and I saw that President Joe Biden is going to appease Mitch McConnell but appointing an anti-abortion lawyer for a spot as a Judge in Kentucky. Considering the path of destruction McConnell's stuffing of the Supreme Court has done over the past week, appeasing Mitch The Bitch should be the last thing anyone should do.

On a positive note, I got a $5 Dollar Gift Card from my Day Job... and we went on Amazon to see if there anything unique we could add to the collection. Turns out that My Little Pony has a full multi-console game released called My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure. It was about a year ago at this time we discovered DC Super Hero Girls Teen Power, and I have no problem going against stereotype. On a side note, isn't it odd that Generation 4 of My Little Pony (Friendship Is Magic), never got a full video game released, which is amazing considering the number of grand adventures and epic plots that series had. Actually what would have worked for a Gen 4 Video Game would have been something along the same lines of the Persona series with the Slice of Life mixed with the Adventure.

For the raid, we dropped everyone off with SweetLindir as they were playing Smite over on twitch.tv/sweetlindir!

We're coming up on two full years of daily workouts... and first Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout for the month of July featured Defensive Combo #2, Triple Combo #2 and Front-Back Step Combo for 28 minutes.

Played Some Fall Guys last night and unlocked the season pass... which actually lead to a couple of achievements. So yay! Also PandaSweet picked up Fall Guys so got in a lot of fun matches playing duos and good test of the cross play too.

For tonight's stream we'll be resuming Persona 5 Strikers. I might take a more grind approach this go-round as we're dealing with the Second Jail, but I saw there were achievements / trophies associated with unlocking skills by playing with each characters. So that should be fun.

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...
