Eventful Times

So these past few weeks have been... productive and slightly eventful to say the least. Been having a clogged ear (left) since Saturday night. Earwax removal didn't really help but made it harder to hear from it for awhile along with water trapped... then I started to feel some discomfort for a day. Visited a clinic today to get it cleared out and hoping it wasn't infected as well. Can hear much better, despite having some water in it with a narrow canal, apparently. Also gotten a flu shot since I haven't had one in a long time.

Gotten a rare achievement I've been working hard to get for a week or two: Double S+ from Dustforce. At the time of this post, 0.29% have it. It is very hard to get, and really worth getting if you're determined enough, along with a lot of patience--about equal to Bit.Trip Runner which I put that game on hold for 2 years... same with Dustforce funny enough. Anger issues didn't really helped you see...

The recent update to Dustforce helped me learn a few new tricks I couldn't figure out on my own, and made levels I had difficult on much much easier (some more than others, looking at you Hide Out and Observatory!) and beat my old personal record times. The achievement is so hard to get that there's even a steam group for players that got it, and I'm awaiting my invitation to it.

After putting Bit.Trip Runner on hold for 2 years while stuck on 3-10, Beginning of the End, and recently beat it, I feel DustForce helped me collect patience in not just the game, but myself as well. Gotten 5 achievements in that game: MISSTEP, BURGER.MOUTH, TIMBLETAUNT, ENDURE, and TRIUMPH.COMPLETE. 5 Achievements left are pretty much perfect difficulty... to which I say "Unless there's a group for getting these, forget it!" How much you want to bet I'll still try to go after them?

So yeah, even though these don't carry over in life, I feel happy with myself. Determination, confidence... and a bucket fishing full of patience helped me get these. What? Atleast I'm doing something productive that I find joy in. Now if only I can apply the first two in real life some how... and the last to the development of Antilia--LET THE BLUE CAT IN ALREADY! I smell fish on fire! It taunts my nose so much...

Oh and gotten a few carpet cleaning jobs, but they're scarce as usual, and a few extra sound tech jobs. At least they'll help pay off the auto repairs quicker by a few months. Still hoping for a better job I enjoy going to on weekdays... but still having trouble finding one that isn't flooding the market that I can't even apply for due to lack of experience or not qualified enough.
