ESO with a Detour Into the DCU

Good afternoon everyone,

Today's post will be shorter than normal because apparently my initial draft was not saved! In fact I had to save a copy of this in a txt file, because Blogger was just not saving anything, not even when I closed the browser!

Anyway last night's stream of The Elder Scrolls Online was a bit problematic because it soft locked on the Xbox One, which was just weird. There was no reason for it near as I could tell, so after some frustration I just switched to DC Universe Online, and we knocked out one mission in it. Hey, it's fine game to have as a back up MMO since it's free to play.

I did end up installing ESO on the Xbox Series console, and there were no problems with it. So I'm guessing whatever went on with ESO on the Xbox One was due to Bethesda's poor quality control. We got several quests done and I'm looking forward to see where the current series of plotlines go. That said, I do find navigating and just getting around in general to find places to be a chore, thank goodness LvStrkr is helping out in a big way!

Also, thank you to LvStrkr for gifting me the High Isle Collector's Edition Upgrade for Elder Scrolls Online, it was great to get a mount!

For the raid we dropped in on tokushoutsu during the marathon of  Chouriki Sentai Ohranger over at twitch.tv/tokushoutsu!

Watched the 1998 film Dark City yesterday afternoon, mostly because I had a bit of writer's block. It was a pretty damn good film, clearly a noir setting with some great sci-fi elements. Can't believe I never saw it before... despite clearly having it on VHS since at least 1999!

As far as the writing goes, with yet another WWE Short story to work on, I'm just going to resort to just continuing the story it's a sequel too, because quite honestly, I have no ideas for a solid set up.

For tonight's stream, we'll be playing Overwatch 2. Since I'll be playing the console version, voice chat will be done via discord!

So on that note we'll see you later tonight 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...
