Mom's back in the hospital; The Saints Row '22 Game Isn't Bad

Good morning everyone,

First off, an update on my mom, apparently she had an appointment at MD Anderson that no one knew about, and she wasn't feeling well while over there. She was admitted to the Emergency Room at Cooper Hospital in the late morning, early afternoon. I went over to check on her in the late afternoon, but wasn't able to speak to a nurse or doctor, but mom seemed a little loopy, which I guess was from whatever medication they gave. I do know she was moved to the medical / surgical floor of the hospital, and she may have gotten an infection on top of everything else, there was an increase of white blood cells. I spoke to her this morning, and she was in a lot of pain, and according to the nurses station, they'll be doing tests and other evaluations of her today.

With everything going on, if anyone can donate to her gofundme to help, please visit: https://gofund.me/6adf8354

As for last night's stream, we started playing Saints Row, the reboot of the series released last year, and we're playing it with the licensed music turned off, which probably dings the experience, but I've done that with several other games in the series. I'm not particularly sure where exactly people said this game was bad, but then again I'm fairly early into it, only done two missions and spent a lot of time exploring and doing side quests because that's how I played other Saints Row games.

When it comes to visuals and the audio, Saints Row '22 looks and sounds great, and funny enough I managed to find a character voice that is fairly similar to Laura Bailey's performance in Saints Row The Third and Saints Row IV. There are enough customization options to tweak things to how I want them when it comes to combat and just wanting to get things done. It's clear that the flight suit is in the game because of the glide mechanics in Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell. 

If there is one draw back, it's that Saints Row '22's character creation suite seems more limited than the ones in Saints Row The Third and Saints Row IV, as I do like making the Boss look a certain way. I wonder if some things are unlockable.
