Day: January 7, 2024

They danced through the day and into the night through the snow that swept through the hall

The morning came very very early this morning. At one point I thought I heard Chaucer getting sick. I yelled out, and immediately fell back to sleep. I’m a terrible kitty dad. I think I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, but I’m not too sure. Maybe. Maybe not.

It’s a mystery.

But we’re all up now. Chaucer is on Crystal’s blanket, which he’s kind of taken over. Pippin just jumped up and is totally comfortable on my lap. It’s been colder her, and she’s always trying to jump and snuggle in my lap.

It’s not that I had a terrible sleep, it just was broken up m, by waking up, and all that jazz. I was a little tossy turny. I don’t think I was too warm, just up pretty early, and just dozed mostly. I think I’m gonna try and possibly nap this afternoon. I’m of a certain age now. I guess we nap now.

But first, coffee.

Continuing on with No Man’s Sky

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about No Man’s Sky. I actually uploaded these pictures, probably about 3ish weeks ago, and them promptly forgot to post the next time we went over to Shandy Acres for Sunday dinner.

So yeah, this is my current ship. I bounced around with one or two others, but I found I was having to acquire more and more launch fuel. It was quite frankly, annoying. I knew I had to find a Class ‘S’ ship with solar sails. The solar sails recharge the starship launchers. Finally, I found another one.

It was kinda annoying switching ships, I had dumped a lot of credits into the old one, but I hated how it looked. This one is far more elegant.

So yeah, this is the newest Theseus. I’m slowly switching out all the substandard parts to fully a class parts.

In order to pay for all this, I’ve been doing a bit of pirating. But I’m a pirate with some morels. I don’t go after the freighters, just the cargo pods that float next them. After I’ve plundered all the cargo pods, I’ll warp back to my “home” system. Then I’ll hit up the space station, and sell all the pirated stuff. Then, I’ll buy what I can there, and sell it in my base in the pirate controlled area.

I’ve been making some bank.

Also to help with making some money, I have a fleet. I send 5 ships out on the longest expeditions I have access too, and they will bring me back around a million or so credits once a day.

Last week I think, I added 5 more ships to the fleet, bring the number of ships up to 10.

I like this game. More than I thought I would. I don’t have it on the easiest setting or the hardest. It’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of brain power to expend on it. It relaxes me as well.
