The grind towards Mass Effect Achievements

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday ended up being a day where I felt drained mentality just thinking about stuff  and ended up sleeping during the majority of it. Did apply for various jobs, and got one call back... from a staffing agency, for something I didn't apply for. 

Anyway, last night's stream of Mass Effect did see a big focus on the side quests, leveling and grinding towards certain achievement goals related to being a straight engineer. We managed to get two knocked out tonight, leaving three to get, with the hardest one being the one for Neural Shock, since it has such as long cool. I am tempted to tackle Pinnacle Station to grind it out, since there is also an achievement related to using medi-gel.

In terms of story specific stuff done, the mission regarding the rouge VI on the moon, plus the series of Geth encounters in the Amrstrong cluster were dealt with, we gave Tali the Geth data. Also not sure if we're romancing Kaiden or Liara on this play through because both are simply awful. And while this is a paragon run, taking shots at Williams is always appropriate.

Mass Effect Achievements

• Overload Specialist: Use Shield Overload 75 times
• Sabotage Specialist: Use Sabotage 75 times

For the raid we dropped in on sweetlindir during their table top / board game stream over at twitch.tv/sweetlindir

The plan for tonight's stream is to play Marvel's Spider-Man and to finish the City That Never Sleeps DLC. Now if I can get all the trophies for it, that means down the line, I would be tempted to do a New Game Plus run of the base game on the hardest difficulty. But I heard the Screwball Challenges in the 3rd chapter of the DLC are a major pain in the ass. So we'll see. 

Did picked up two achievements in NHL 21, and seeing as how NHL 23 has the same achievement list, it just shows how fucking lazy EA is with the sports game year after year, if the goals cannot be changed. Yeah you're really not going to see me play any sports game on stream unless the achievement list is worth doing

NHL 21 Achievements

• Someone get that kid the puck!: Play and score your 1st NHL goal in a regular season game in Be a Pro.
• Auctioneer: Buy or Sell an item in the auction house in Hockey Ultimate Team.

Did some writing on the Mass Effect short story commission, and with luck it'll be finished today, unless I have another mental block and feel like doing nothing at all.

Also watched the back half of the Night Court revival series, and seeing Roz back and encountering Dan with him being a judge was just perfect. Wonder if that means there will be some more reoccurring characters from the original series showing up... at least from those who are still alive. 

Twitch changed down clips are downloaded, meaning the usual best of videos I do every week can no longer be done. Damn it.

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