October Surprise. in The Awesome Chronicles of me.

No surprise, but I thought that sounded better than “Monthly update with pictures”

October has come, its nearly gone. Election day is soon, and I am hoping for the best, i’m
-mildly- optomistic, but coming from an abject pessimist that might not be much, but i will be glad because stupid commercials will be stupid done. I voted by mail earlier, Nice, quick, easy, they already have my ballot back, and its just waiting to be counted. Just no sticker though. I know my county will go for the dumb baby chancellor of germany from 1933-45 wannabe, and I think it’ll be close but we shall see. (I am participating in a voter issue panel after the next day, that’ll be fun. I hope)

In other news. Packers are doing decent, winning games with defense, and a good run game for once. My poor heart can’t take these close games but I’m content with the record so far. Detroit is a big game (lol who would of thought that a while ago) Football is so wild though, Its such a great sport to watch, so much intensity, and so much pageantry. I’ve always said you will have to detonate a nuclear bomb over my house to get me to stop watching pro football, and even then ill still have a packers hat on my head.

In video game news, I preordered the suikoden collection, I like preordering games from GameStop because i can pay it in increments. Its one of the most underrated game series out there and i’m glad it is coming back. Also. I have to get a new ps5 controller, my left stick is drifting badly to the point of i can not have my hands on the stick and Poor Wise or the trailblazer will move to the left. They are still stupidly expensive. In Gatcha gaming news, HSR I got a fun ninja character called rappa who speaks in raps and calls everyone ninja, although her story is really tragic (brainwashed super soldier who basically was brainwashed via a ninja manga, its really sad)
In ZZZ news, I got one of my new faves earlier in the month, a really adorable and perkily optimistic character (who drinks a lot of “Nitro fuel” aka Monster energy drinks) with 2 flame throwers called Burnice. Her character is so much fun, she burns everything, and she’s just so adorable I want to hug her.
Now i do want to rant a second. These Gatcha games (ZZZ/HSR) have very attractive characters, I get that, thats part of the deal. (I mean three ZZZ characters I have Burnice, Qingyi, and Zhu Yuan are attractive, along side other characters I dont have, alongside some HSR Characters as well, but thats not the main point of this rant) And while tastefully lewd pictures are kind of okay in my book, all these characters get overtly sexualized and it just makes me sad and a bit annoyed. For example Burnice, She’s sweet, upbeat, and perky, and I want to hug her. Qingyi aside from the fact she’s a robot, is a total Cutiepie who’s also a very old model robot. Zhu yuan is an example of a good cop (Whom i’d love to have her and Garrus Vakarian have a conversation about being a cop) but she’s probably the most sexualized out of the three. I get it. But its just annoying, and I dont like it, and those are a couple of the more tame ones) I just dont like seeing that to characters I like.

Ahem. I also got a new board game well yesterday. A kickstarter game I backed in 2020, which was delayed 4 years due to covid and production issues, called freedom five. This box is huge can fit an 11 year old cat in it (more on that in a second) Its based on another game I like called defenders of the realm or last stand. A bit more in depth but its cool, I also like the super hero universe its based in (A non Marvel/DC universe that it is own thing)

anyways, thats my October Surprise. Onto Pictures:

Gotta kiss that cute little noodle

FAT CAT is watching

I love this picture, every Sunday I stream Red Zone on my laptop, have a regular game on TV, and NFL network gameday highlights on my iPad (Until 4pm anyway) and macaroni always likes to snuggle up to me, and I just snapped this pic.

Two of my favorite board games were played this month, Free Radicals and Imperial steam. We will not talk anymore about this particular game of Imperial steam again. (I screwed up BADLY and lost about 400 bucks (points) at the end)

Freedom Five box, Pound puppy for scale.

Cat in the box.

Finally, Burnice in a good wipeout photo.

Ok folk thats all. This Football game is weird. (A great touchdown was sadly erased because one foot didnt make it in, which was right but it was such a great catch)

Have a good one, Remember my frees, Trans lives matter, hug your local queer folk and fascists dont belong here.
