Game Update

We’ve discovered a couple of bugs with the new difficulty system that we are working out. Characters aren’t standing back up when we heal them, and the difficulty isn’t turning the death system on and off yet as we haven’t implemented.

We updated the notification system when troops die to show the players which troops have been lost. Displaying the classes and number of troops will help the player know what they need to replace and focus on making changes in the force organization screen.

Personal Update

Spent this week focusing more on my boys and coming up with a plan to set time aside just for us. I decided to make Thursday nights our family time. One of the boys will choose what we do and we aren’t allowed to have any other distractions. This week we had a Lego night and so we all built Legos together and watched the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

I’m still a bit worried about the Air Conditioning and so I’m trying to save and brace for the next problem with it financially. Meanwhile my garage door has been broken for more than a year, and my Nordic Track Treadmill has been broken for 8 months now.

The treadmill problem has been such a headache that I’m thinking about recording my phone conversations and making a YouTube series about it. That way at least I get some value out of all the problems. The last time I called them they didn’t know what to do and I had to swap to 5 different departments. I have to believe that don’t know what they are doing, and the company has low interest in taking care of customers once they have made their purchase.

I’ve been running a lot more lately even though the expensive treadmill is broken. I managed to get four runs in last week, and I’m looking to keep this up with some lifting days. I’ve also been drinking some protein shakes and changing up some of my diet. My friend gave me a really solid meal plan and it’s been crazy to see how diet is changing my body with no real big changes to my work outs.
