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.

The crushing of creativity is the worst thing any parent can do to their offspring. Even if they don't stick with it, every kid should be allowed to at least get a chance to explore creative pursuits for no other reason than to find out if it's for them or not.

This is disturbingly relatable.

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?

Diving kept me on the seas longer because if I didn't like the server I was on, I would just hop with a dive. If I don't like a server I'm on without diving, I'm more likely to just log off rather than deal with it.

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 Pirate Life has only just begun, and I'm not letting some low period with the game, a pedo, and all these click vultures take that away from me. If the game is to die, so be it. But I'm going to make as many memories as I can with the best daughter any father can ask for until it does.

020

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 · 19/05/2026

I've messed with Abiotic Factor and enjoyed it for a bit. Definitely plan on returning to it eventually. Sons pulled me back into Helldivers 2 and The Outlast Trials just had a huge update, and Rogue Core EA is releasing soon - so my plate is full as it is.

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.

And I can tell you from watching loved ones experience it the damage can take literally years mend. All you can do is you have a loved one involved is be there for them. Drive them to their appointments, be their shoulder and ear. Do whatever it takes. But expect to be there for the long haul.

In the meantime, know you are always welcome to drop in on any game you see me in - you are always welcome in my lobbies, no matter the universe.

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

I think you've been subconsciously looking for an offramp on this game for awhile now. I think a part of you still has love for what this game gave you which makes it hard, but you've been burned out for a long time and unwilling to let go. I think this will be healthy for you.

110

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 · 14/05/2026

Oh, I can go on a huge "old-man-shouts-at-clouds" rant about engagement vultures right now. But I'll save that for another day as the focus should be on accountability and the victims right now.

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

You know your mind better than anybody, so definitely do what's best for you. I know your heart is always in the right place, even when you are frustrated. While I feel the seas would be lessoned without you, you still have to do what's best for you and we all should respect that.

010

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 apparently deeply offended the skeleton overlords today.

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

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

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

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

Dealing with cheaters is an arms race, I don't get mad unless it becomes rampant. And it hasn't been rampant in my experience. I will, however, call them jokes for making the squids the fun police, especially the artillery overseers, fuck those guys.

010

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...

120

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

There was more, but I can already hear the burning question. "Sidney, you said that you let her sink her fangs into other ships, did you mean your brig or your daughter?" Answer - YES

110

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

A few Hourglass fights were done - but I feel like we gave out as much as we took. I then discovered by brig looks badass with the Reaper's Flames active on it. Is it me, or does the green part look like a mouth and the red bit of flame above look like eyes?

110

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

Won a few, lost a few, had a few laughs, JR talked us into jumping on a Brig we saw a Devil's Ridge which landed us a "bit of plunder". - A handful of varied Tier V Emmy flags including an OOS - A Chest of Fortune - The pictured chest below Yes, they chased after us - it didn't end well for them

A funny black box with a bit of rope and blowing skeleton runes. I "Wonder" what secrets it holds?

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

Also, my daughter has expressed interest in learning to fight as well - and is interested in getting the curses (and refuses to spoil herself with the videos on them - so I kinda want to see her reaction to getting them) So... which one of you was it, I honestly can't remember.

100

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?

120

Sidney @frenziedroach.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

LOL, she was certainly excited. Carried it all the way to the ship, then all the way to the tent. Insisted on being the one to sell it. All while surrounded by hourglass battles popping off around us.
