Fallout: London is just as I expected it to be. No, seriously. I'm just trying out the Vibrant Weather mod. The fog is no joke, but it did get rid of these constant radiation storms at least. And it looks kind of nice when the weather is nice.

This might be worth my remaning Arx (since FDev have stopped posting here, I will no longer buy more Arx). That mining truck wasn't really what I wanted anyway. So, I guess this is the ship that makes the Vette obsolete? Pity, I remember the chore it was to get the rank required to unlock the Vette.

Curious. Apparently the brahmin helps defending my settlements. Didn't see that one coming. Of all embarrassing ways to kick the bucket in the wasteland, being mauled by a mutated cow must be one of the worst, eh?

I didn't use shotguns much on my previous playthrough of FO4. So I just now realised how absurdly OP they are with the "wounding" legendary effect (making enemies take damage after being hit). My guess is that it's per pellet, that's why they bleed out so fast. (4 shots to down a Mama-lurk.)

Just checking in to make sure that everything is in order. Oh, need more Trit I guess. Let's go mining for a bit. #EliteDangerous

While waiting for something more interesting than mining to come along in ED, I'll do a new playthrough of Fallout 4. After all these years, it still looks gorgeous. I decided to get a set of gills early on, to be able to move around the Commonwealth without being bothered by critters and low-lifes.
It's Dog... Just "Dog" so far. I haven't learned his true name yet. Such an adorable pooch, eh?Second settlement. I just build. No storyline, no chasing after my son. (Or perhaps my maker, you know.)I'm glad the map works underwater. It can be a bit difficult to find my way, even with clear water.And sadly water won't protect from these constant radiation storms. There's too many of them, methinks.

Quite a nice looking frigate we've ordered. WIth some customisations, though. An extra 40mm Bofors gun, more VLS cells and larger engines, I reckon.

So, have @frontierdev.bsky.social stopped posting here? That would be a shame, since I refuse to buy Arx from a studio that have decided to ghost those players who prefer to stay away from platforms run my fascists. In fact, I would consider such a decision a very clear statement about their values.

Some people got together to march for the climate today. In retrospect, I do regret not joining them. (But nothing short of a natural disaster can make me leave home on a Sunday, though.) But at least it's nice to see that this is an important issue to quite a few people.

What I want for the T-11 isn't a mining vehicle nor a fighter. I'd really like another mk2 mining limpet controller to double the no of collector limpets. The bottleneck isn't the mining itself, but the collection. (But I could learn to love a mining Plipper with 2x repeaters and 50 limpets. 😁)

One or maybe two more jumps, then it's time to park Bernie for a while before eventually heading "south" to the Centre. Currently 48,259 ly from Sol. Jumping back will be quite a chore, I assume. #EliteDangerous

Haven't been out exploring for a while. Let's find something to scan. Or sample. Or both. I think I'll head over to the Formorian Frontier and have my carrier follow. Then it's time to turn back towards the centre. #EliteDangerous

With nothing to do in my regular dimension except mining and waiting, I think it's time for some old school FPS! Must admit that the shamblers look kind of goofy though.

This is why I'm so disappointed with Disney Star Wars. They had a synopsis for an interesting new storyline, instead they opted to essentially do a remake of the original trilogy, only terrible. Read up on "legends" (or what many SW fans consider to be canon) if you're interested.

This has been a good anchorage, but it's time to move on. I'll scout out a new system for Bernie. One where I can replenish the Tritium used to get there, roughly 2,000 ly away. #EliteDangerous

On my way home after four successful CGs. I should bring all those racks over to it, and then head over to my small carrier that's parked in Newton's Vault. I think I should have a couple of the racks shipped over there, to boost the capacity of my T11. #EliteDangerous

This will be fun. I suppose I'll change the build for my Caspians again, no need to lug that SRV hangar around if I can use a size 6 SLV hangar for a Nomad and this thing. (The wheely thingies are needed for mat gathering and nothing else now.)

It seems like we're about to hit around 76% of the total amount of stuff delivered over all four CGs in Colonia. If that sentient toaster complains about a "partial success", we should all start working to bring down his influence in the systems around Colonia. #EliteDangerous

"Come haul with me, let's haul, let's haul away. If you can use some exotic boost there's a pad in far..." Well, I'm still here. Will do a few more trips tonight after all. But dear god, am I tired of hauling to cover up for all drop-1t-mooches. #EliteDangerous

Let's go! After a detour to Carcosa in order to complete that CG and have an advanced docking computer installed. It's quite convenient to be able to set a new destination while the ship takes care of the take-off by itself, don't you think. #EliteDangerous

Carcosa is coming along nicely, but we need to keep hauling. And if you have time, please give The Nameless a hand in the war. The Colonia region need this system to remain an anarchy, because it means more outfitting options and gadgets available at Pioneer Supplies. #EliteDangerous

More hauling tonight. Those laybouts who come out here just to drop 1t of packages at each CG station to get into the CGs should thank those who work to complete these CGs. One needs 100% completion, the other around 40%. Or there will be no rewards. #EliteDangerous

Another day of hauling. But Randgnid will be done tonight. On our way out I noted that the docking computer seem to ignore ships that are in the way if they're small enough. (Poor Cobra Mkv5.) #EliteDangerous

More #EliteDangerous maths: - The total amount to deliver is the same as what we collected previously, 115 million units. - 10% to Asura - Done. - 20% to Randgnid - Can be done if we focus on it. - 30% to Carcosa - Will be very hard. - 40% to Einheiriar - Impossible, even to just reach tier 1.

The first CG finished while I was pass... I mean asleep (and not in the bar). Good, let's head over to Jaques and continue hauling for the next one. We might get two racks at least. I just wish more people would understand how CGs actually work. No tier reached = failed, no rewards. #EliteDangerous
