Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work tonight was another great night... even if some of the people I talked turn turned a simple 10 minute study into a 30 minute torture session. Now I'm good at trying to control the interview, but some people need to be smacked.

Tonight's stream featured Cyberpunk 2077 and we started as soon as we finished work, as we focused on more side quests, as every time one ended another popped up. The big thing was trying to knock out quested related to Kerry's questline, and there is only one left to do, but we couldn't get it to trigger. Ah well, now the big worry is going to be the Liberty Expansion which drops this week to see what happens to the save file on Saturday, which is the next time we'll be playing it. 

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/Reese who was playing Overwatch, the raid was picked by LvStrkr as one of the channel rewards! 

Our next stream, scheduled for about 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden will feature episode five o the Expanse to wrap up that disappointing mess. Trust me, when I do my casual review of The Expanse, the negatives are going to be prominent. Since the final episode will only take maybe hour, we'll  be pairing it with Killer Instinct.

Knocked out another commission story request based on Resident Evil, which turned out alright, even if the paper thin plot relies on what contrived references I can make.

Also picked up two commission requests for (sigh ) WWE related stories... one featuring Rhea Ripley and the other featuring Triple H. I said before and I'll say it again, those nearly 15 years of being one half of the Dice and Kristi writing duo certainly branded what type of stories people want me to write.

Heard some good things about the Party Animals game, while the obvious mediocrity of Mortal Kombat 1 becomes more obvious with every review I see.

And on that note, I'm going to bed! 

Good night folks!

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work today was really good despite being a bit late because I didn't see the notification over what assignment I was supposed to be on until the last minute. Also found out day shifts might be back soon so I'm going to have adjust my sleep and stream schedules again.

This would also make doing commission stories both easier and tougher at the same time, since writing will be done after the streams. Speaking of writing, finished one Resident Evil commission request and got another straight away. I probably should've  thought things more carefully about using characters from the Outbreak games. Also managed to do some work on the Persona side story as well.

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 opened and closed with romance as we completed V's story arcs with V and Judy, which means we got their 'love' scenes, and seeing it from the first person perspective was certainly wild. Probably some context is lost because we had it 'censored', Also progressed mostly side stories, such as making sure Johnny got to go on his date with Rogue, as well as getting all of Johnny's gear. I could easily just go ahead and finish the game, but we'll risk the Liberty expansion screwing things up.

Our next stream will either being Journey to the Savage Planet, but I don't think Iceman will be available this week, if not we'll continue Cyberpunk 2077 and continue the side quests. The stream will be at around 9:30 PM eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• To Protect and Serve: Complete River Ward's storyline.
• Breathtaking: Collect all items that once belonged to Johnny Silverhand.
• Bushido and Chill: Watch Bushido X with Rogue.

 For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/lilmoolah_ who was also playing Cyberpunk 2077

I need to make sure to get in touch with my Aunt Grace and Cousin Frances to return their tupperwear... after I give them a good scrubbing

Also should reach out to the FNDanteSavage too, see what he's up to.

Well, that's all for tonight, good night folks!

Cyberpunk 2077 and other note

Hi everyone,

Nearly didn't have work today because the supervisor who was filling in did not see my notes for alternate work hours, but thankfully I was able to pick up some of the hours for tonight. 

Tonight's stream was also pretty positive as we finished Act 2 of Cyberpunk 2077, getting several side quests done in addition to advancing the main plot. The side quest with River in finding his nephew certainly had all levels of disturbing written over it. Also made sure to liberate Clouds for Judy, and we actually saw a work around regarding crafting Legendary items. Turns out all you have to do is unlock a perk under Quickhacking and it gives you the formulas needed without having to unlock the standard skill by leveling up the crafting related skills.

Our next stream on Tuesday night (9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden) will feature more Cyberpunk, and we're going to focus on the side quests as I know we have at least two, one for Johnny to let him try to convince Rogue to help in the final mission, but there are still some things that I suspect open up in Act 3, since we're at max level and have max street-cred. We could go ahead and finish the game, but I do want to see all the side stories.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• Master Crafter: Craft 3 Legendary items.
• The High Priestess: Talk with Hanako Arasaka.

For the  raid we went over to twitch.tv/misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Got two commission stories done during the day, one being the third of a set of stories based on George Lopez, and the other a simple celebrity / original character tale, which turned out rather nicely. Next commission request on the list is the series of Resident Evil stories.

There is the question of what will replace Cyberpunk 2077 once it's done and at the moment I'm learning to either Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royal. One I played before and the other I haven't.

Of course with October being around the corner, I could just play The Evil Within 2, apparently one could access God Mode on the Xbox version.

Anyway, those are all of today's note, have a good night everyone!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was the definition of frustrating, when I had several great matches in terms of my own stats, only to be let down by random teammates who made some very questionable decisions in terms of not defending the objectives or payloads.

 We were joined by PandaSweet for a few matches, which made things more fun. I did pick up three Plays of the Game I did pick up a few plays of the game as Junker Queen and Moira, in addition to playing as Tracer, Kikiro, D.va, Ashe, Windowmaker and a few other characters.

For tonight's raid we went over to twitch.tv/kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Out next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will featured Cyberpunk 2077. And I realized something, that there are a lot more side quest in the game that locked behind either 'in-game game' or tied various main quests being completed which we haven't done yet.

Finished writing the second of a trilogy of commission based on the 2002 George Lopez sitcom, granted I'm sorta half-assing it a bit by just having the 2nd and 3rd parts being direct continuations of the previous entries. Goal is to get the final one written by tomorrow afternoon.

The soreness from the charley horse I suffered on Friday is starting to fade, granted it involved me laying down most of the day with my left leg elevated.

Team Four Star released a compilation of shorts that covered the Buu Saga, which served as a nice taste to see what they would've done with that arc of Dragon Ball Z. It's really worth checking out.

Have a good night folks.

Hi everyone,

That muscle cramp on my left calf is still bothering me over 24 hours later, real weird to continue feeling the effects that long.

Anyway, got the dishes done, and it's amazing how little dishes I use, then again I tend to do the classic quick rinse after I eat to reuse stuff. 

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 started at 5 PM and ended after midnight, because I focused on finding all the missing travel points which took awhile, and we were able to complete all the NCPD spots and the side gigs to clear out things in Pacifica and Heywood. Plus we advanced the main plot finding Alt Cunnigham and advancing the plot to a very large degree.

In fact, near as I can tell, everything let is either time locked side quests or main story content, so we have an outside shot of finishing Cyberpunk 2077 before the Liberty DLC Expansion and rework which appears to totally screw with the combat and inventory system that I've spent over 65 hours getting use to!

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• Frequent Flyer: Find all fast travel dataterms.
• Life of the Road: Complete Panam Palmer's storyline.
• Mean Streets: Complete all gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles in Heywood.
• Gun Fu: Kill or incapacitate 3 enemies in quick succession with a revolver or pistol in close combat.
• The Hermit: Find Alt Cunningham.
• Greetings from Pacifica!: Complete all gigs and NCPD Scanner Hustles in Pacifica.

Our next scheduled stream is for 5 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Order dinner from a place called the El Buger Bar... and their 'Big Boy' burger is fucking massive, plus their cheese fries are big and chunky! A lot more filling than getting something from McDonalds.

Got a lot of writing done yesterday, finishing two story commissions, one based on WWE and another based on the 2002 George Lopez sitcom, which instantly lead to the client wanting a follow up to that. Also worked on the 5th chapter of my Persona 5 AU story, with the introduction of FeMC from P3P and a cat-person version of Morgana

Hmmm I have no other notes of interest, so with that, have a good night everyone!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work was okay tonight, could've and should've had four full interviews done, but ended up with two due to people refusing to answer simple yes or no questions . Ah well.

Picked up a few extra things for my food supply to keep myself from ordering take out this week, as electric and water bills were paid. So everything is taken cared of for this month.

Tonight's stream of  Horizon Zero Dawn saw a big focus on roaming around and exploring, realizing there are mounts and various side things to do, such as clearing bandit camps, finding metal flowers and other things to keep one busy. We did advance the plot a bit with the finding the War Chief, but for the most part, getting a feel for if I want to do everything or just focus on the main story.

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• First Metal Flower found: Discovered a strange metal flower.
• Reached level 10: Reached player level 10.
• All Suns at one Ground: Earned at least a Half Sun mark in all three trials at one Hunting Ground.
• Stealth killed 10 machines: Performed a stealth kill on 10 machines.
• First Tallneck Overridden: Scaled a Tallneck and accessed its information.
• First Ancient Vessel found: Found an ancient vessel once used by the Old Ones.
• First Bandit Camp cleared: Took back a settlement from a bandit clan.

Our next stream is scheduled for 5 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will feature Cyberpunk 2077. From what I understand the new DLC content rolls out on the 21st of September, so that's going to make things real interesting on how it effects my current game.

For the raid we went over to  twitch.tv/yuzuponen who was playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

For a fair bit of writing done, knocking out the first of two back to back WWE commission requests and starting the other. Also got a request to see if I can do a trilogy of stories based on the first George Lopez show (the one from the early 2000s) which is odd. But hey, it's helping pay the bills.

Did have a muscle spasm on my left calf today which hurt liked hell... and its always the left calf that I get them on! Certianly made going up and down stairs difficult today!

 And on that note, I'm going to bed!

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Work tonight was solid, even if we're still dealing with a 25% drop in hours, but hell, I felt productive and got several completes done. Just wish the we were going for more than just a few people.

Job hunt continues to go poorly as well, as anything I know I can do I am too far away from or requires to be living within a certain radius

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 saw us finishing up the last of the Cyberpsycho events and getting about 60% of the last side quests in one area done, next time we play the game on Saturday, that will be my major focus as I think I just have the gigs to do. Also progressed Panam's character quest, and the entire 'great train' robbery was kind of neat. Finding the talking pistol named Skippy was a bit odd, but hey, I've seen talking weapons in the Borderlands games.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• I Am The Law: Complete all Cyberpsycho Sightings.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/oldish22 who was playing Path of Exile

Our next stream is slated for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will feature Horizon Zero Dawn

Finished up the third straight Resident Evil commission request and now I have two back to back WWE related ones... I sweat being pigeonholed holed for all the wrestling related stories I've done from 2004 to 2016 continues to come back to bite me in the ass 

Eagles won two games this week, which was nice, but Dallas Godertt is really under performing so far this year, when the lst few years he was awesome. More concerned for my Fantasy Football team than the Eagles to be honest.

And on that note, time for bed!
