Today's Notes 4/1/21

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of ESPN Major League Baseball was rather interesting, and mostly involved high scoring games as we finally reached the half-way point of the 2004 season. We had two extra inning games, the first lasting 15 innings and it was that game that made me go 'Alright, from this point on, we play the first two games of each series and simulated the third in a three game series (or the last two games of a four game series). We had some great moments throughout the stream, including back to back inside the park home runs... while coming up short on hitting out of the park home runs. Yeah we can give up home runs but hitting them, yeah that's a problem.

Knocked out some more things off stream last night for Forza Horizon 4, and just so far loading into that daily is a challenge because every time I finish one thing two more pop up. Also did some War Table things in Dragon Age Inquisition while also advancing some side-character plots for Cole, having him become more human. Yes I should have done it on stream, but... considering most of Sera's initial romance build took place off stream, it is what it is. Also locked in the Champion specialization as well.

Put in my pre-order for Life Is Strange True Colors Ultimate Edition which will included the remasters of the Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange Before The Storm, so basically a three-for-one shot there. I'm really glad I was able to discover the franchise in its first year over on Steam as it's become one of my favorite story driven games, where the choices certainly play into the end results.

I am nearly finished  removing line breaks from the majority of the fan fiction that I wrote and co-wrote along side Kristi from 2004-2018, still got about 350 to go, but at least now I'll be able to go through and try edit them to be a little less reliant on verbal exclamations.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was really damn good I feel, as we didn't have a single miss, which is very rare. That said... as nearly perfect as was, the fitness age score still came up as 20, so I guess it will only go down that far and I'm guessing it's based on my age combined with how well I perform the exercise sets. Again, it's funny when one back tracks and sees that I was getting fitness age scores of 18-19 with the original Fitness Boxing game.

The plan for tonight is more Star Trek Online things, bouncing between the four characters we have in place and hoping any special task force missions we're apart of go smoothly. Considering what happened last week I don't have my hopes up for that.

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