He/Him. Treat others with respect, but do not tolerate fools.

I play computer games, current favourites are Pokemon Go, Elder Scrolls Online and Kerbal Space Program.

I also like driving fast cars slowly.

Goodnight world!

Here's the view of the sunset from my outpost on Serpentis IV. Everyone's here, where are you?

3h of Elite Dangerous just driving around this planet looking for bacteria colonies. Then I headed out on foot and found three in half an hour. "Night vision" in the Scarab didn't help. Just walking around with the scanner in my hand pinging for a signal every 50m or so is what it took.

On some planets bacteria colonies area easily visible. On this planet, far from its local star, everything is black on black on black. Might look like night to you but this is midday.

This to me was one of my greatest successes in my ~50h #EliteDangerous play to date. Successfully getting "first footfall" bonus for scanning bacteria colonies on a world that had already recorded a first footfall, but that previous visitor had not scanned the bacteria colonies (they had scanned the other plants then given up).

My heart broke.

Outer Wilds has some amazing moments.

Still enjoying playing it, no idea where I am in terms of "completion". I've explored a bunch of planets, found a lot of the story from the text messages left behind.

Portrait of Professor Dorothy Hill, President of the Australian Academy of Science 1970. First woman to be president of the Academy.
I am in a sacred place today. Well sacred to Australian scientists at least.

What you don't see in this beautiful scene are the "pack click beetles". You don't see them because they're invisible. They're also extremely aggressive. I hired the best security and they struggle to keep the click beetles under control. I routinely have to visit this outpost just to repair broken security robots.

Random #Starfield for today.

This is what peak industry looks like.

My box-like spacecraft. It's the result of wanting to do everything at once: haul 6000 cargo, fit on a small landing pad (maximum length or width 40m) and be able to take on Crimson Fleet Wight III, and be able to do hostage rescue missions.

My favourite all-rounder. I have much lighter craft that are more fun, but this one doesn't require endless inventory management.
