Zero is so freaking cool, love the new 6.3 MSQ in FF14

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV was totally focused on the new Main Story Quest content, and I loved it... mostly because of how gave a big push on developing Zero's character, with her gradually regaining her forgotten humanity. The scene with her having the dumpling was really cool, and I can safely say I will easily ship Zero with Alisaie as they have perfect character chemistry. And yes I was more than happy to see Alisaie involved with the main story, since of all the scions she is my favorite.

The new dungeon and trial were surprisingly straight forward, which I can greatly appreciate considering how some in the past have featured some really bullshit mechanics and gimmicks to deal with. 

Now one of the side quests I came across last week was one that gave lore and context to two of the archifiends that were faced in a previous update, so after I was done the MSQ, I went and did the side quests for the two that were in update, which certainly added a lot more flavor to the motivations... and the whole deal with Golbez (the big bad of this story arc). It's really a tragic story, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it eventually plays out down the line!

Happy birthday to long time friend of the channel Felkimchi! 

So the update on my mom is as follows, she was deemed strong enough to begin chemotherapy on January 19th, with subsequent sessions every three weeks. Not sure when she'll be able to come home because there are concerns over mobility and she only had two physical therapy sessions. 

Featured two Mass Effect short story commissions yesterday, which surprised even me considering it takes me a couple of hours to write a 2000 word short story. Next commission request was for a Dragon Ball story involving Future Trunks.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Straight COmbo #2, Difficult Challenge COmbo #2 and Block Combo for 31 minutes

What do you call a boomerang that never comes back? A stick.

For tonight's stream, we're resuming the P3 side of the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax story, and we'll be going through that till the very end. Way I figure we'll get in at least two more full streams with the game because of the requirements to get the true ending and doing the Adachi DLC story.

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...
