In an effort to avoid social media, I have created a new social media profile.
I played Deep Space Risk with the wife tonight. This space marine was my original, start-of-the-game marine. He single handedly defeated 12 of my wife's marines to save my campaign and ensure victory for the Ginger Federational Ymirs of Space (GFYS).

An odd name for an army but I needed a Y-word.

Guided by Ectronymous Diamatron who gained Ecto-1 as an alt-mode (it was parked outside. They crashed a ship on it), Venkman told him his name was stupid and it was now Ectotron.

...which is when I unbuttoned my flannel to reveal my Ectotron shirt!

My Halloween episode concludes next session!

I'm still running my Transformers campaign. The PCs and their teammates are a few million years old. I'm not sure the characters would care who is oldest at that point so I never defined it.

Kup is the "old man" in their ally group but his age has just been "old". Maybe I should define his age.

I need to get up and get chicken marinating. Toby has decided that I am going nowhere soon.

Ok bud. We can chill out a minute.

I marinated chicken all night in soy sauce, sherry wine, garlic paste, and ginger paste.

Then I fried rice I made the day before along with peppers, onions, and an egg, then sauced the rice with soy sauce and mirin.

I think this is what chicken fried rice is really supposed to taste like. 😋

Not a bad few hours after work.

Made some dinner on the griddle, cleaned it up, and now sit outside with my number one storm buddy to watch the rain. I kind of wish I had thought to bring this week's comics out to read while I'm out here.

Oh well. Kaiya is happy.

Predator vs Spider-man wrapped up today. This series was fun! Definitely more gore than you typically see in a Spider-man book and some shocking moments. The ending was great and seemed a fitting way to finish the tale.

Tons of fun. I might grab this in a trade when it releases.

Enjoying a rare weekday off to have a coffee on the deck and re-read ttrpg books alongside my favorite reading buddy.

Fwiw, the Marvel Multiverse system offers fun, easy ways to do things I do not see elsewhere. Their expansions should be a manual on how to add content to a game.

Taking some PTO this week.

This screen feels good to look at.

I'm off work today. Finished my stuff in the yard, grilled some lunch, and I've been sitting outside with my pull from yesterday.

I grabbed Exquisite Corpses from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social as well.

WOW. A *60 page* read about killers battling in a sealed town for the richest families.

I added this to my list a few months back and it will be staying there. I love the setup! A fun glimpse in issue 1 of the type of world the story is in. There is a great splash page early on showing the tiers of Metro 1 as well. Plus talking guns.

Akelda's hair grabbed me. The story is keeping me.

Powerman: Timeless has been a joy to read. It's a feverdream of unchecked power at a cosmic level with characters we never see there. @hivemindactual.bsky.social, who I only knew from Batman Beyond: Neo Year and Neo Gothic, give us an absolute banger. I can't wait to see where we end up after #3.

You have to be entertaining to be the antagonist in a comic series.

I've never had a cat before. I gained one when I got married. When we moved, he hid behind two bags of unsorted clothes hidden in a closet for days. It was a tiny space! I didn't find him right away and he did not leave that spot for days after finding him. His food was being eaten so I let him be.

My dog never wants me to leave her side.

I'm fine with that.

It's just Quake in powerlifter mode. This is what peak performance looks like.

Three years ago today we brought home the little brunette from the shelter. The two pics with the pink harness are from that day. The two without are more recent.

She was so scared. Kaiya only wanted her blanket. She's still a little scaredy dog but she's my thunder buddy, too.

My dog gets sad when it is time for her humans to go to work. She gathers up her toys and pouts that she is being left alone.

Not going to lie, it works. When I have days off, I make sure I set aside a good amount of time to just hang out with the dog. Walks and rides for days!
