Just Doing Wondrous Tails In FF14

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV was different than it has been as of late, because we dedicated the night to doing the Wondrous Tails, which basically just assigns a list of various Dungeons, Raids, Trials and PVP stuff to do try and complete lines on a 4X4 grid. We actually lucked out and got one line, which is very tough to do. Granted I could have re-rolled to try and get more lines, but 99% of the time just getting one is all one wants.

That said, I did discover I can use the Wondrous Tails to level boost other Disciple of Magic / War skill sets, which will make bringing them up a lot easier than I would have anticipated. In fact I already know next Thursdays FF14 stream will lead off with the Level 45 Dragoon job quest called 'Double Dragoon'.

Also did some fishing and finally acquired some Purple Script, which means eventually it will be possible to get the best possible gathering gear, but it will take a while to acquire. We closed out the night with some random PVP, and actually one a match where I lead the team in getting kills... as opposed to getting killed... HA!

Huge thanks to Coleyrado for a huge raid during the stream. They were doing a Just Chatting stream over at twitch.tv/coleyrado! They also have play things like New Pokemon Snap, Fortnite and Stray!

For the raid we dropped in on YrGamerBunni who was playing Crusader Kings III over at twitch.tv/YrGamerBunni! Other items they have featured games like Magic: The Gathering and Halo Infinite!

Work was a total drag yesterday... stuck on one assignment that basically went no where, while folks on another assignment were cleaning up complete all afternoon. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Difficult Challenge Combo #2, Block Combo and Difficult Challenge Combo #3 for a duration of 34 minutes.

I made sure to check out the intro for MLB's Field of Dreams game which featured Ken Griffey Jr having a catch with his dad Ken Sr. Knowing Ken Jr.'s animosity towards the Yankees for how his dad was treated, it's pretty awesome that this years game featured the Reds, a team both of them played for during their careers. 

What kind of tea is hardest to swallow? Reality.

Why did the golfer need new pants? Because he got a hole in one.

Started work on the latest commission request for a WWE story based around the aftermath of the 2016 brand split, and I think the client will like the intro.

Got in some work on Mass Effect 3's multiplayer achievement and knocked out the Gunsmith one fairly easily. Rather pleased with the progress I've made in my goal of just looking to get 1000 gamer score on it, and I'm I'm to 885. Based just on sticking to the story, knocking out the last couple of N7 missions and doing the story plus part of the Citadel DLC... I should gain 385 gamer score.

For tonight's stream, we're hooking up the PlayStation 4 to play My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure. Will this be a hidden gem like DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power was last year? We can only hope!

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...
