Good news for people in rural areas. Speeds of 100 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up are expected, and most of the planet is supposed to be covered by the end of 2021.

A few highlights from the past week of streaming:
- Sending a doctor to rush an enemy in Jagged Alliance 2.
- M.A.S.H friendly firefly fire and a surprise run off a silo in Arma 3 mission.
- Confusing real life and video games in Watch Dogs: Legion.
- Talking about bad habits with OGs Elias and Mr. V and escaping an explosion at the last second in Grand Theft Auto Online.
- Performing poorly in Noita.
- Trying out the M60 in Generation Zero.
- Meeting a skeleton, dying for the first time, receiving technical support from Dom, and writing a blog post to help friends meet in the game while playing the wonderful smash hit Valheim.
As previously mentioned, my day job is taking most of my time this month so random, irregular streaming are the set menu at the moment.
Thank you for visiting!

From the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory stationed at Earth-Sun Lagrange-1 (L-1). Here’s a picture of the dark side of the moon as it crossed Earth’s path in 2015.

- Weekly Highlights 19 ✶
-
A few highlights from the past week of streaming:
- Amusing enemy taunts during my fight for the second sector of Drassen in Jagged Alliance 2.
- Seeing strange lights in a Dynamic Recon Ops Arma 3 mission.
- Another emergency medic field landing in my Neofly career in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
- Trying out a jet-powered motorcycle, drifting with a BF Weevil aka VW Beetle, and a joint parachute landing onto Nakatomi Plaza in Grand Theft Auto Online.
My day job is taking most of my time in February so my schedule has changed and I will be streaming less and somewhat more haphazardly during this month. I apologize for that, but until the streaming can pay the bills I have to keep up with work when I am lucky enough to get a gig.
Thank you so much for visiting my streams and brightening my day.
