My Daughter- "Hey, they're following us" Me - "Of course they are, we just stole their shit." Them chasing us meant more than the open reaper's chest we stole to keep them from griefing the outpost - it tells me they actually cared and we ruined their prank. 😜

I can't believe No Man's Sky is 10 years old and they are STILL putting out free updates. I'd say they've more than redeemed themselves at this point.

Regular game group dropped Diablo IV freeing up enough space for me to get back on the seas. Good to be back on the deck of the Vixen's Wager again with my little girl at my side. 💕

4 TB HD (which contained SoT) bricked itself yesterday, so I was down to just my 1 TB SSD. Only thing I have to replace that drive that still works is an old 250 GB SATA SSD. After reinstalling what I must have, no room for SoT - and no replacement soon because inflation. Fuck this timeline.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I want to log into SoT... but every time I start thinking about it, some other game throws out a big update that catches my attention. 😆 Dammit Helldivers 2, why'd you have to drop such a good update on me like that?

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

It sure felt good hearing Warpath underscored with the sounds of Cannonfire blaring in my headset again today. I may take a break from time to time, but the seas will always call me back.

Due to an unfortunate combination of my doctor retiring, my health insurance plan being run by cronies who don't like it when I don't use their pharmacy, and general US health system being shit. I've been without my ADHD meds a week now, and it mi- SQUIRREL! I'm sorry, what was I talking about?

When SoT and Helldivers 2 sawnothing but negativity - this guy jumps and is doing something so cool, I can't help but be excited to play the game again. Not that I needed an excuse to smash bots to bits. Nice to be reminded that not everything game related is bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOeb...

DRG: Rogue Core has potential, the part I like most is their new Promotion system they've renamed "Ascension" Previous game, these only occurred in single player - but this game, you can Ascend with friends witnessing. First one I attended made me tear up. It goes HARD

I usually give SoT a break during the summer as the seas generally get hotter than I like with School Summer Break active. So Daughter and I have been jumping around other games for a bit. I have to admit though, I'm kind of missing it already.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

School's out, which means I usually check out of SoT for a couple months - usually. Already kind of miss it after taking a one week break. Outlook really changes when you have a regular crewmate, doesn't it?

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Last ship standing indeed is fun . Lasted until the final circle shrinking with 5 ships left - and the chaos was indeed glorious. But the sensory overload is real, and we needed a break after that long round were we but we will def try again another time!

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

My sloop was just me for so many hours. But now, it's full of joy and laughter as a father and daughter spend time together. She keeps me sailing in the right direction, we laugh in the face of misfortune and let the game sweep us up emotionally with it's presentation.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

As sterile as it is, the corpo response is probably the best we're going to get. Canceling the Boatswains given it's obviously compromised is not terribly surprising either. But still - can't help but feel the cold hand of Microsoft all over this right now.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Bit of dark humor, but.... Maybe over a year ago and threw my hat in the ring when Bruno was looking for people to sale with for a project he was working on. He acknowledged my interest so I know he got the message. I heard nothing after that. ..... I guess I was too old to be his type? 😅

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Started to fire up the game and while waiting, I noted something in my YouTube feed about a certain creep we all know about now. It's always the ones that project friendly vibe the hardest, isn't it? Fucking wolves in sheeps clothing.

So I had my daughter roll up her first voyage of luck during our Wednesday sail and uh, we'll just say she had a really good draw. 😆 Few tier V flags in it too. Can't help but notice this looks very similar to the loot that we snagged from a Brig that JR blew up with reaper's rowboat. 🤔

A treasure map with lots of X's and the other picture are 3 high-value pieces of loot which include a chest of wonders, chest of fortune, and

So I dove head-first into the sweat soaked seas of Sloop Hourglass and lost every single fight. But.... at least I didn't give up after the first one. Lasted almost an hour of straight losses before my little girl and I gave up for the night. Small victory, but I'll take it.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Started my day off with some randoms in Helldivers 2, then ended up in a cheater lobby that filled up my resources so now I have to fill out a support ticket to get myself reset. I guess I'm not doing random lobbies in that game anymore...

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Helluva sail tonight, and I have @presjr88.bsky.social to thank for it. We took my daughter into the High Seas on the deck of Lilith's Fury, my Brig that is pledged to "For All Eternity". And together, we finally let her sink her fangs into other ships while her captain learned to fight.

131

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Asking my daughter to sail with me consistently has been good. And now wanting to be able to be in High Seas with her more has brought me to finally ask while my meds are strong and I'm feelin' brave Who was it who offered to teach me hourglass?

Found out today that a former manager that I was still in contact with finally succumbed to his fight with Cancer. It been... years long. I genuinely liked the guy, even if we weren't close. But all I feel about it just angry. Why did it take such a good man from us, but tyrants are still living?

I am FUCKING TIRED of being aggroed by Skelly Galleon's when I'm on an island NOWHERE NEAR THEM and having black powder barrels exactly where I'm trying to firebomb their deck to get some breathing space. I don't even WANT to fight these things because they are full of JUNK I don't want.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

For the first time ever, I didn't spoil myself ahead of time when trying new content and took a certain young lady along in her first adventure out into the High Seas. My girl and I had a grand old time. We weren't expecting the loot pile we got at the end there Swabbie's first Reaper loot 😄

050

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Just rowed from Molten Sands all the way to Morrows peak to sell loot and a Molten Sands key. We'll just say a random Skelly Galleon, a firebomb, and a black powder barrel were involved and leave it at that. Goddammit... the one time I try the content... hahaha

The depths of Hoxxes has pulled me back. And I haven't missed a step. It didn't take even a minute, and the muscle memory kicked in. Soon this graybeard was squashing bugs, knocking over minerals, and speaking laser pointer like he never left. Deep Rock Galactic is truly the best coop game ever.

Youngters, I have a bit of advice for you and please heed it. Don't let yourself get out of shape. Don't be like me and get lazy after you get that easy job. 20 minutes of light physical work and I'm beat. Hard to believe I used to carry furniture all over the place in my younger days.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Meant to post this yesterday, but work got busy in the middle of my flurry of posts. I did finally collect my Lucky Hand Shipset. And with it done, it was time to finally rechristen my trusty old Sloop as the name "Mani" just didn't fit anymore. Took me weeks to come up with the name. 😅

That awkward moment when you think you logged in the wrong account - then I remembered I was showing off the glitterbeard to my daughter. (Thanks again, Honamar) Then I was like - Huh, Sidney actually looks pretty handsome with a beard. I am almost tempted to keep it.

Food - bought Gas tank - filled A good amount of wood purchased and ready to go for my fireplace. May go silent starting tonight for a few days - ice storms here in the south generally mean no power for a while. I believe I'll be okay, but don't expect to hear anything for a bit.

I did not sail alone tonight. Tonight, I was teaching a swabbie in Safer Seas And that swabbie was my daughter. My heart is so full right now and I couldn't be happier. 💕

On the seas again - trying not to think too hard about the fact that my counties schools are on a security lockdown due to serious threats made. Directionless, just wandering from island to island, trying to keep sane.

Got surprised by a pirate just as I opened a vault. So of course, I opened fire and he folded fast. Followed up by putting holes in his ship to force him to flee. Guy was probably new, but FFS, don't sneak up on a pirate with loot. They tend to shoot first ask questions later. 😅

So... my current hyper fixation is The Outlast Trials. If you don't get it, that's fine, but just in case one of you plays it occasionally, have a laugh. :)

A television screen with a shadowy figure in the background. Overlaying the figure is "Survive The Christmas Dinner". The chat bubbles clockwise are as follows "This is not a celebration", "This is a dinner with problematic family members you hate", and finally "Survive the Forced Proximity, and we will let you go."

This format is actually a parady of the introductions given to players during "The Outlast Trials". The Outlast Trials is a CooP horror game. The introductions this mimics is played for the player before each trial, the contents and title differing depending on the title and objectives of the trial.
