We got achievements while playing Overwatch?!

Good morning everyone,

Song of the Day: No Reply By The Seatbelts

Last night's stream of Overwatch certainly was a tale of two half... because from when the stream started to about when I took my break, only won two matches, but then after the break we got on a row winning a fair bit of matches. I'm sure my tendency to take my foot off the petal when I see my team not focusing on what needs to be done doesn't help matters. But once PandaSweet joined,  things turned around in a big way, and as always thank you to Panda for being apart of the fun.

I picked up four Plays of the Game with Reinhardt, Orisa, Torbjourn and Symmetra, even picked up three achievements as well (I'll list those below). Other characters used were D.va, Moira, Ashe, Ana, Brigitte, and Doomfist.

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Armor Up!: Absorb 500 damage with Torbjörn's Overload without dying in Quick or Competitive Play.
  • Ice Blocked: Block 1000 damage with a single use of Mei's Ice Wall in Quick or Competitive Play.
  • Terrable Terrable Damage: Kill 3 enemies with a single use of Orisa's Terra Surge in Quick or Competitive Play.

Now something that does bug me is that when Cross-Play and Cross-Progression was introduced into Overwatch 2, it didn't sync up achievements already earned from the PC side with their Console variants. Goes to show how half-assed Bizzard can be doing things.

Also reversed how I did my Spotify audio set up last night so that I could listen to music while playing and not have the ear bud in my left ear. And thanks to Panda being able to double check, how I set it up meant that the mic couldn't pick up the music. Awesome!

On tonight's stream, we shall return to Agents of Mayhem with the goal being on getting Franchise Force to level 20, completing the second stories for the agents we unlocked and then doing the next big story mission.

For the raid we dropped in on TokuSHOUTsu during the Jetman marathon over at twitch.tv/tokushoutsu

So I went ahead and made a video going through one box of 45s (7 inch Vinyl Records) and it clocked in at over 2 hours because at the same time I was looking up every single song on Spotify.... while I did find 286 songs, 32 were not listed at all. I recorded a video for YouTube going through this process which will be posted in its entirty in a few weeks, but the Playlist can be found at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3lfhkLW4AcfSol7opsWQUA?si=6b02ef1405564117

Got some writing done yesterday on two projects, first got the entire intro and set up for the latest Dragon Ball commission written, just need to do the action sequence and is about 30% complete. The other story, an original idea based on the All That reunion later this year, is about 60% completed.

And 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...
