Job Hunts, Wonky Fridge and Just Being Batgirl

 Hi everyone,

Applied for a lot of job yesterday, about 20 or so, so hopefully one of them leads to something. Trying to find places I can get do with duties that I can perform or feel confident that I can learn quickly is not easy.

My refigerator is barely holding on, having turned its internal settings to max just to keep it cool, there is some water dripping from the freezer down into the fridge so maybe there is excess ice build up, but I don't know. The parts PSE&G are sending should be here between 10 AM and 3 PM on Wednesday.

Work was cancelled today again, was told worst case we might not have work until Thursday... I'm covered, but this is rather odd considering the heavy lack of work this year in compared to previous years. 

Tonight's stream of Gotham Knights started early-ish as a result and we did a big focus on the side stories involving Mr. Freeze, Clayface and Harley Quinn, as well as making some progress in regards of the main story and other side activities. The boss battles involving the three iconic villains were pretty cool, with Harley's being the most normal, while Mr. Freeze and Clayface's battles making me glad I refuse to play games on anything harder than I intend to, because the bat-cycle section of the Clayface fight took three attempts to clear.

In terms of the main story, the conflict of the League of Assassins and Court of Owls is building, but I have noticed that the more we do in the game, the most positive the citizens of Gotham are to seeing our heroes popping up at different points in time. 

We also experienced some co-op game play tonight, and that there is unique dialog depending on the pairing of characters and who gets to the cut-scene parts first.

For the raid we dropped in on hawleigh during their stream of Hogwarts Legacy over on twitch.tv/hawleigh

As I waited for the commission request to come in I started writing a non-commission story based around Hellsing, it's a bit dialog heavy at first and will need a rewrite. Still I'll shelve this story for now as I did get a commission request for another Mass Effect story.

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern on Wednesday, and even with work being doubtful, I probably won't start the stream early just for the sake of keeping the Resident Evil 6 stuff featured without having to fully highlight it out and losing footage of anything done before hand.

But of course if I do start early because of no work, I'll do the highlight way of archiving the Resident Evil 6 content.

So with that we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden
