Narrator's Editorial:
The idea of the fillers was originally to just give me a break from my usual duties. As such, filler are typically (thought not always) done faster and with less effort (actually varies considerably)

= Filler Part 5: Summer Rush
Narrator: Hello there and welcome to another Filler. One thing to note is why am I not playing Genshin or Star Rail on the PS5. Its nothing personal but its because of Hot and Humid Conditions. In other words, an Energy Rush Hour.

An energy Rush Hour occurs when everyone in a specific area turns on air conditioning (AC) or heating at once. This, in addition to all the usual energy use in households (running the refrigerator, TV, lights, computers, etc.) creates a peak in energy demand and increases costs.

During this Rush Hour, Power will be cut short by a power company and that's not good at all. There's several factors that contribute to it such as Temperature, Humidity and AQI (Air Quality). So if you look at AirNow, it shows the Air Quality Conditions...


*One Interruption Later...*

Narrator: Now as I was saying...
...So if you look at AirNow, it shows the Air Quality Conditions, you'll see 6 AQI Levels...
Green & Yellow = Good and Moderate as in Good Standing
Orange & Red = Dangerous
Purple & Maroon = Hazardous

AQI sometimes falls in the Orange during the Summer where the Temperature gets too hot to handle and during an Energy Rush Hour, your AC could give out if you're not careful as it happened to me days ago where my Room Temperature skyrocketed to 87 to 88 Degrees after the AC failed. Worst Still AC Repairs can cost up to $1,000 or higher.
So to know when you're in Energy Rush Hour Condition, you'll need to check the Thermostat where there's a Leaf Icon or the Words "RUSH HOUR" is shown. That's when you need to turn off a device as you can't keep more than one device on during Hot & Humid Conditions and/or during an Energy Rush Hour.

So, if you have dailies to do on a F2P PS5 Game, make sure you do them before the Energy Rush starts which is when the day gets too hot outside. Some of these Times can range such as 2PM to 6PM on a Hot Summer Day.

The dry heat can also get to you in your room, so make sure you consider having your windows tinted which sound like a sun visor in a way that blocks some of the sun's heat rays

= Filler Part 5: Summer Rush
Narrator: The AQI Forecast shows an AQI 101 Condition Orange and said to be 90 degrees while tomorrow is said to be 93 degrees with an AQI 90 Condition Yellow. Other than feeling like a boiled egg, its best that I would drink plenty of water when I need to along with keeping cool to the right flow so as not to suffer a power cut.

When an AC breaks down, things will get too hot to handle and crazy due to the extreme heat and humidity as in Temperature.

To plan a good summer day, its important to check on both the weather and Air Quality as well. Some days with an AQI in the Yellow are okay.

As for some F2P Games, don't bother worrying about Genshin & Star Rail's Energy Reserves as its not going anyway as it replenishes overtime when you're not playing the game.
Hopefully, the RUSH HOUR will die down giving me some time before it starts back up again. But I need to be careful as the AC failed before and it could happen again.

= Filler Part 5: Summer Rush


Narrator: I know. Sometimes half the Power goes out, sometimes most of the power goes out.

Its even worse than when the Bundys paid $17 for a Vintage Erwin Rommel 1942 AC where it got hooked up into the Chicago Power Transformer Outlets causing a massive blackout when it short circuited in 1991 on Married with Children.
The Narrator said to Tecna & Alya as he plays Duke Nukem 1 since there's nothing like a platformer where you shoot robotic drones down and collect scoring items.

= Filler Part 5: Summer Rush
Narrator: Yeah and you should not wait until the last second to do dailies on a Console because by then the Temperature will be too hot and humid.

As for my legs condition after doing 10K Steps, they're feeling better but I have to be careful not to push myself too hard so as not to open old wounds and tempt fate.

When I continue the Spring Easter Festival in the IC, I'm thinking about when to start the You Wish Special Segments of "Stolen Conch Shell" and its "Whodunit Ending Poll". That said Straw Poll will also include what the thief's bag contains but I can give you some hints on what to expect from what one of the 6 items could be...
= Microphone,
= Foreign Language World Map,
= Boxing Glove,
= Showman's Cane
= Thread Spool with Needle
or
= Toothbrush
You'll see which NPC's ending you can vote for when the time comes in the "You Wish Special 1".
