Thoughts On The Pitt in Fallout 76: Its Awful

Good morning everyone,


Last night's stream of Fallout 76 saw me focused on knocking on the Mayor for a Day quest line, as well as the Woman That Feel To Earth, which was more important because it lead to an achievement. That later quest ended up taking me to the building where the grief incident happened several months ago . I am glad to get that story arc done, because we went all in on the Romance portion so in my Fallout 76 story, my Vault Dweller and Sofia are a couple. Also we set Athena up with a body, so I wonder if they will pop up again somewhere.

Now... The Pitt.... is just awful, not only was the daily just to unlock the opportunity to get to that new area was a pain in the ass, but The Pitt itself just is a brutal mess, with incredibly tough enemies and little to no sense of direction or markers. We got into the catacombs, but we couldn't figure out where the hell to toss some things into nests because we had no clue what the nests look liked. You really won't see me doing that on stream again any time soon.

Big thanks to Iceman for joining in, too bad we didn't get to finish Mayor for a Day for him, it seems like we missed getting him an item when were covering that quest line, but he was with me as we explored The Pitt. He also had the same reaction I did to the Pitt as well.

For the raid we dropped in on Bestibunni as they were playing Magic The Gathering and Crusader Kings III over at twitch.tv/bestibunni!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Uppercut Combo #1, Hook Combo #1 and Waist Shape Focus Combo  for 31 minutes.

Work was incredibly bleh yesterday, not as engaging as it was on Tuesday. Here's hoping for a more engaging day today

Did watch a bunch of episodes of Dragon Ball Heroes, and for being a series of shorts to promote a card game, they are not bad in terms of a quick Dragon Ball fix. Do like the fact that it is giving Radtiz a chance to shine a bit as well as other short lived characters.

Will Saraya (formally Paige in the WWE) showing up in AEW make me want to pay more attention to that shit-show of a wrestling promotion? Not really, with her neck issues I really can't see her having a match there.

Song of the Day: Come As You Are by Nirvana.

The guy that invented the umbrella was gonna call it the brella. But he hesitated.

Fun fact: Australia's biggest export is boomerangs. It's also their biggest import.

Finished the commissioned short story based around Spider-Man for the PS4, and got another commission request for a story based around Evan Bourn during his WWE tenure. That should be tough...

Got a call from Executive Customer Relations team member that I've been dealing with at Xfinity for the past few months to see if I was satisfied now that everything seemed to be resolved after techs were doing maintenance in the entire area Friday, Saturday and Sunday in addition to the tech visit I got on Saturday afternoon. Basically laid into them for finally addressing the issues I've been pointing out to them for the past four months while also suggesting that since Xfinity bought the bullet and is upgrading its outdated coaxial style network to a fiber-optic one that they do that as quickly as possible.

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...
