Relearning how to play Overwatch on Console Is An Experience

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch 2 was certainly an experience as playing four hours of it via console is way differently than playing on the computer, as I had to calibrate how fast the camera turned so that I could lock on the opposing players faster. Used a variety of characters, D.va, Reinhardt, Orissa, Mei, Junkrat, Ashe, Ana and Junker Queen. We had a wild mix of wins and losses over the course of the night. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the  fun as well!

Now off stream I'll still play Overwatch 2 on PC, since I did get use to some of the handicaps I now have to deal with thanks to a weaker graphics card to work with. So I'll still be using that to knock out quick dailies.

Did have an issue with Discord in getting it work correctly, as it was giving me no audio and there doubts about folks hearing me through it. It got sorted, but it'll be interesting if that becomes a regular problem or not whenever I want to use it for voice chat while teaming up with folks!

For the raid we dropped in on MissGammi316 who was also playing Overwatch 2 over at twitch.tv/missgammi316 

Big thanks to LvStrikR for gifting me Elder Scrolls Online on the XBox side... since Final Fantasy XIV is on the shelf for the foreseeable future, that could be our new weekly MMO. Actually that reminded me, I did play a lot of DC Universe Online for a time too.. so that could be a contender. In fact I loaded up DC Universe Online onto my Xbox One... and quickly learned whatever progression I did years ago on the Steam version does not progress over.

Started writing the next Mass Effect short story commission and got the opening set up done, and while it involves Shepard, he's not in the scene. 

My brother Leo and his family came over yesterday, with some important paper work for me to fill out, as well as bringing over the big portrait of mom that was at her funeral. It's currently in the living room. 

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

For tonight's stream we shall be starting up the story mode of WWE 2K22, and as promised, we'll feature a female created character. Wonder what creative options we'll have to work with at the start.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
