Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

 If you don't have tons of food left over, then you're just not doing Thanksgiving right... Speaking of, let's talk about the week gone by, my crowd!!

 Y'all know what the biggest event of this week was... THANKGIVING!  And despite the fact that this is going to be the first holiday season without my grandmother around, mine went very well. My cousin came into town, fun times were a plenty, every dish offered was amazing, and there was tons of left overs. Just as it should be. I can promise you, we'll be nibbling on those for a while. We didn't have pecan pie (one of my preferred thanksgiving staples) and there was a delay with the turkey, but it was all good none the less! Our bellies and hearts were full.

 Of course, not everything this week was good news... I learned why my grandfather has been dealing with slurred speech this whole year. Turns out, he has Lou Gehrig's disease (ASL), which is only affecting his upper motor functions right now. However, there is no cure nor any medicine he can take to fix this, and in time it will only get worse; probably will spread to his lower motor functions. There is physical therapy that he can take to help manage his symptoms, but there's pretty much nothing he can do to reverse this. And in lesser bad news, my friend @Sparklefan1234 will be taking a long hiatus... I really, REALLY hope it's temporary. I've had friends say they were stepping away from the internet momentarily, only to never return ever again. But for now, all I can do is wish Sparky a happy hiatus and a wonderful Christmas. I know we'll have tons to catch up when we see each other again.

 Then there is some rather interesting news?  Clifford the Big Red Dog is getting a live action movie. ...Except Clifford himself is the only CGI dog amongst a cast of real dogs. Why did the choose to do it this way, exactly? Either way, it'll be interesting. Between this and the live action Tom & Jerry movie, I am sure ONE of them is bound to get it right. At least November is almost over; which means I can start streaming some Holiday movies soon! 

 Saber 11: Turn the Key!  Well that episode sucked. I know these episodes have more content than substance, but this was really dumb. Espada revives an old trope from early Heisei days that I thought was no longer necessary; as in being completely irrational. He instantly believes the worst, insists on fighting to solve his problems, and refuses to listen to reason. Seriously, why is he acting like this after we just had an episode with awesome teamwork? We just learned that Calibur is not his father after all; he should feel like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders! But he still acts like his father betrayed them for some reason. Where is all this rage coming from? Also, something about three gates opening up. Talk about story happening at a rapid pace. I’m not sure what to focus on!

 Kiramager 32: Killer Kunzite!  Now this is an episode I’ve been waiting for! Garza takes control of Embark and goes after the King next, Pink has to cover for someone else’s mistake, and monsters are terrorizing the city! Something might have to be sacrificed; I’m not sure if the Kiramagers can turn all of this around at the same time. Then again, the next episode preview makes me think otherwise, and I’d hate for all this story to just be resolved one episode later. The only weak part of this episode was Pink giving her changer to the human and asking him to run with it. Why not just keep it? Or why not escape with him? I’m so confused why it was necessary for Pink to stay behind without being able to turn into a Kiramager... If we had gotten a male Kiramei Pink out of it, then that'd be cool! But we all know that's not the direction they were taking it.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and eat up.

Sonic Forces was a game that felt very incomplete upon release. It just couldn't compete against Sonic Mania. However, I am glad that there are fan mods out there changing this. Does it save the game? No. Nothing will ever make up for the lack of a Final/Super Sonic story with one last fight against Infinite, but these mods really make the game more bearable. We're talking longer levels, fixed physics, and best of all... An actual boss fight for Chaos 0! Granted, I would have liked multiple boss fights with all these bosses, but I'll take what I can get. If I ever get this game for the PC, you know I am getting these mods. It might be a bit of a long video, but for a good run down of said mods, here is "Is Sonic Forces GOOD Now?!" by Channel Pup.
