I've been keeping a journal for a while and today the dashboard is heh-heh nice.

A screenshot showing a line from my journal's statistics, it reads: "361 entries over 518 days, between 2025-01-01 and 2026-06-02 (69.69%)"

Freyja finds a big stick. She’s 19 weeks old.

a German shepherd puppy carries a very large stick. She is trotting toward the camera and wearing a red harness.

Small life update: we have a dog now. She’s called Freyja, she’s four months old and the best thing ever.

Finished my first hand-drawn #2d6dungeon floor; I don’t think Dyson Logos has anything to worry about just yet… One mistake made, there’s two copies of a unique room which I didn’t notice until later. I also continued exploring after placing the stairs down, which I’m not sure is allowed RAW.

played my first dungeon floor in "2D6 Dungeons" using the demo version over the last two evenings and it was great; definitely going to pick up the full book. Mapped it using dungeonscrawl.com but I'm going to go analogue next time :) #rpg #solorpg #ttrpg #2d6dungeon

Aronofsky? The guy who made pi? The movie about an unfortunate guy with mental health issues who builds a giant computer that spits out probably random junk but he frantically imbues it with meaning until he has a breakdown? That Aronofsky?

With alt text, because this is important. Via www.theguardian.com/law/live/202... Seems to me somewhat disingenuous of the judges as if this was the case, there was no need for this judgement, was there? Fight on 🏳️‍⚧️

Ruling does not diminish transgender women's protections against direct discrimination, says Supreme Court

The ruling by the supreme court that "woman" in the Equality Act (EA) 2010 refers to biological women does not diminish transgender women's protections against direct discrimination, the judges have said.

In their judgment, Lord Reed, Lord Hodge, Lady Rose and Lady Simler said:

“A man who identifies as a woman who is treated less favourably because of the protected characteristic of gender reassignment will be able to claim on that basis.

A man who identifies as a woman who is treated less favourably not because of being trans (the protected characteristic of gender reassignment) but because of being perceived as being a woman will be able to claim for direct sex discrimination on that basis.”

Been on a bit of an @aptshadow.bsky.social kick the last few days; finished Alien Clay and Dogs of War, started Bear Head last night. All excellent. Read the Children of Time series last year and loved it, so I knew I’d be in safe hands.

#NoMansSky Planets Part II. Sean has been cooking.

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 29/01/2025

New #NoMansSky update, Planets Part II. JUST LOOK AT THIS MISSION OBJECTIVE. The kind of sci-fi NMS delivers is just right up my alley.

Finished another playthrough of #NoMansSky to unlock the “deny the Atlas” endings, and gain the hardcore/permadeath achievements on PS5. Totally worth it. (After denying the Atlas, you have to make your own way to the centre for the achievement. I used portal glyphs.)

~650 hours on Steam and ~100 on PS4/5 and this still isn't really true. I've been digging through my stats and milestones and there's still *a lot* of stories and lore to uncover. #NoMansSky

A glowing red sphere -- a construct of the Atlas. It is captioned, "I stand before the Atlas once again. I have travelled thousands of light-years. I have seen all it has asked me to see, every memory."

My #NoMansSky inventory was getting unweildy and disorganised. I decided to build myself a depot with access to all the storage containers, sort and categorise everything. The build could have been just a few prefab boxes, but I got into it. I did the organising too! I can find things easily now!

Arrived in Iyodaw-Paeu VI. By chance, it's a black hole system. Using them is against my rules, but it's tempting for two reasons: - It would be quicker, and manually warping at this pace is very tedious - Going through a black hole damages your ship, which would force me to do some actual gameplay

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 01/12/2024

This is what the entire run looks like, now. I have so many warp cells stockpiled and stashed away safely in my manufacturing base. I've kind of engineered all the survival out of this survival playthrough...

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 30/11/2024

Really glad I did this with my main save gek guy, he looks awesome now. Still have one reward left to claim -- I need the Hungering Egg from community research stage 3, which is underway now. Hopefully people chip in and get it done this weekend :) #NoMansSky #nms #OmegaExpedition

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 30/11/2024

A little more exploring, and the expedition is done. The objectives were a pretty nice mix of activities and the main rewards -- atlas themed staff, jetpack, the ship -- are really great, but I didn't think the lore/story was the best. But that's okay. #NoMansSky #nms #OmegaExpedition

One objective required a photo from three different types of planet airless, scorching and freezing; so here they are:

#NoMansSky Expedition 12 Redux: OMEGA thread Started in (and almost finished, tbh) the #nms Omega expedition. A few firsts for me: first time using my main save character in an expedition, first time flying a solar ship, first time doing any smuggling beyond the basic outlaw tutorial mission.

A gek traveller on a temperate planet observes a distress beacon. It displays:

Emergency Log Recording
Pilot signature: [Restored]
Erroneous logs: [Deleted]
Welcome back [LETO]

A glowing jellyfish swims through space.

Creatures II: Torture Trouble, surely

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 07/11/2024

Finished installing all the hyperdrive modules and a set of S-class upgrades. Still on the lookout for better S- or X- class upgrades, but the Radiant Pillar is about as good at jumping between the stars as it's going to get. Here's a nice planet I visited while searching for some Emeril.

rumorsmatrix @rumorsmatrix.com · 05/11/2024

A little more refining this evening, but I also tracked down a crashed ship, which when salvaged gave me 2 Storage Augmentations. I converted those into Radiant Pillar tech slots; filling those with hyperdrive upgrades got me to 771.7 range. That makes the centre of the galaxy about 900 jumps away.
