Today's Notes 2/24/21

Good morning everybody,

So you know how yesterday I was saying I fixed the audio for my streams in OBS? Well apparently I took it too far the other way, and my mic was booming through it whenever I raised my voice. So now it's back to the drawing board. The thing is what I hear and what ends up on stream are two very different things, and finding the right balance is not as easy as one thinks it should be.

Anyway last night's entire stream was focused on the Division 2, which mean when it started I spent the entire first half of the stream wandering around DC doing random tasks and stuff before being joined by Iceman, PowerThumbz and FnDanteSavage. Now apparently there were a lot of glitches going on as we did some missions on Hard that took way longer than they should have to get through, which was just crazy, but I think it was tied to the Hollywood event, where certain objectives needed to be done. It wasn't as fun as the Resident Evil event, were it was very straight forward in terms of how to deal with the enemies. Still we had a lot of fun.

The local power company (PSEG) is digging up the street to resume work they started last year involving the gas lines, which means my day job is going to be real interesting because there is no way for me to block out the sounds of a jackhammer coming from outside my home. I just know some smart ass at my job will say to me 'well move to another part of your house', yeah unlike other people I (now) have a workstation sized PC, which means moving it is not an option.

So today's Fitness Boxing 2 session saw Janice in the trainer's spot instead of Lin, the reason being is that their are some achievements associated with each trainer, unlike the first game, so to get them one must use the proper trainer. Janice's voice is more.... how shall I say... abrasive to hear, making me question who was doing the voice direction for it. Unlike with Lin, all of Janice's dialog matches in terms of tone, where Lin's was copied and pasted from the first game.  The workout today was really solid on all front, with only 1 miss and that was me forgetting how to do a left block from the South Paw stance. 

Tonight's stream will focus on ESPN Major League Baseball on the Playstation 2, with Philadelphia Phillies having two games against the Atlanta Braves then a series against The New York Mets. In terms of where we are in the schedule, it will be May 29, 2004, so we're about 1/3 through the season give or take. 

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