A 98% Stable Night of Final Fantasy XIV

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV was solid across all fronts, in fact we did another complete run of Wondrous Tails... and unfortunately I didn't get any completed lines to get bonus rewards. I had 3 lines set up with 3 quests to go and then totally bad 'stickers' on the remainder. Would've been nice to mark that moment but oh well. Did have a three trials that I could run Unsync which meant they were done in other 4 minutes.

We were joined by Panda and their new character, so I was in the position of acting as back up while helping them level up abit. We rolled a few dailies in that regard to give them a boost! As always it is great to have Pnada along for the fun!

Over with the my character's development as a Dragoon, I got it up to level 46, and the job quests are tying in directly with what Estinien was up to heading into Heavansward, in his foresight with regard to the Dragons causing some trouble.

For the raid we dropped in on Cammi_316 as they were playing Fortnite over at twitch.tv/cammi_316

Speaking of Fortnite, I'm not to keen on the choice of Bulma from Dragon Ball Super being the version of that character in the game, when Bulma had much better looks during the original Dragon Ball and early Dragon Ball Z, particularly during the Namek arc.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Weaving Combo #2, Straight Combo #1 and Triple Combo #1 for 28 minutes.

Put in some grinding in Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer, and we passed 3,000 Kills, it is tough to get those kills, but if I just start sessions solo I could probably rack up about 50 to 75 before I get overwhelmed, fewer if folks join the session randomly. 

Funny enough Xfinity sent me the letter they sent to the FCC in regards to the issues I've been having, and outside of getting some details wrong and neglecting to mention other details (which I then forwarded to the FCC, took 20 minutes to summarize it all), I can safely say that Xfinity is basically looking to just ignore me and close the case.

That said we had two instances of internet stability issues yesterday at 907 PM EST and 11 PM EST, the first causing a 2 minute gap during the stream. When I woke up this morning, I ended up having to do a signal refresh via the Xfinity app, then at  1046 AM the internet went down completely for a time, both  Xfinity Apps indicate Gateway was offline and an issue was detected causing devices to be unresponsive. Logged into the Gateway when the internet came back up, and saw the event logs matched when the service was disrupted. 

Work was very bland yesterday, and I swear if I was ever in a position to actual want to do business with some of the companies we're trying to get feedback from I would just refuse to do so just based on their front office staff.

For tonight's stream, we'll be hooking up the PS4 to play Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[Cl-R], and we'll take the same approach we did with Persona 4 Arena, in doing the story mode and arcade runs while unlocking as many achievements as possible. In fact, the achievement list looks similar to Persona 4 Arena

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...
