A rough day of reminders of how tough things are

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday was pretty rough for me, for one found out from my father that the paperwork was finalized that the I now officially own the house... and this was supposed to be something mom was here for. I mean a lot of the stuff on the exterior in the yard was projects she started over the last couple of years going back to 2020. Trying to figure out what she was doing is so confusing, and there is no one I can ask for their input.

Then there was the fact that evening hours I was supposed to work was cancelled due to sever issues, which derailed things even more for me. 

Also, I had a job interview yesterday afternoon, and I know I blew it, because I nailed everything I could in regards of explaining my work history. putting over my current job and referencing my familiarity with things I learned at other jobs. Then the subject of how I travel came up, and I had to explain I don't drive... so that bricked my opportunity. 

Did get in touch with one of the coolest people I met during my brief stint in the United States Army, so that's brought a bit of sunshine to my day.

So yeah it was just a day of feeling of awful, in fact the start of last night's stream saw me nearly in tears because of how emotional I was feeling, and I was completely  mellow during everything in Mass Effect.

Now in regards to what we did during the stream, we did all the remaining side-missions I had before finally going to Feros to advance the plot, and this resulted in several achievements being knocked out. O am confused as to while only the achievement associated with Ashley was unlocked and not the one for Alenko, since I took both on nearly every mission so far, and I suspect its kind of tied to the two loyalty missions for Garrus and Wrex, along with Pinnacle station (where I did end up using Ashley for in combination with Wrex to make it easier). Also the romance was locked in with Alenko, but I think we'll leave him on Virmire to see how different things go.

Next time I play Mass Effect, which is scheduled for next Thursday, we have three side missions to do and then we'll head to Noveria for the next major mission. Although I could delay that and go to Virmire since I hit the in-game level for that to be unlocked as a destination.

Mass Effect Achievements

• AI Hacking Specialist: Use AI Hacking 75 times

For the raid we dropped in on maximilian_dood who was doing a Street Fighter legacy in anticipation of the launch of Street Fighter VI over on twitch.tv/maximilian_dood

Did get a lot of writing for the Mass Effect short story commission done, and I'm certainly changing the canon of a few things in regard to what I established with the Asari. It's mostly to make sure that the final chapter when we get to it will be manageable to write since it'll involve 10 characters

The plan for tonight's stream is to continue Kena: Bridge of Spirits on the PlayStation 4, we'll be looking to get as far as possible as it's clear we'll be getting lost in trying to figure out where to go. But I don't know if we'll be starting at 6:30 PM or 9:30 PM. I'll know for sure probably around 4 PM Eastern

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