Did my first skydive from the edges of my planet’s atmosphere down to my base, “Edge Bonga”.
Planet Divided
Found a wonderful radiation planet with a distant planet ahead.
First pirate freighter destroyed
After about five encounters in the past couple of weeks, I finally managed to destroy the pirate freighter attacking the civilian fleet.
Lightning striking twice
I managed to catch the photo mode pause just as a bunch of lightning bolts came down during a storm on the planet.
Love the vibes.
Blood Moon
The moons always look great in No Man’s Sky. But something with the birds flying in front of this one made me want to capture it.
In the fire and the flames
I’m super proud of this one.
Taken at the village in the north of the map – I’ll update the post when I find out the name again.
The fire used to save progress was used to almost show her walking through the flames.
Gliding down to the Tallneck
Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck.
I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter on site — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less.
I should add that I’m playing on ultra hard mode (not new game plus). So I’m essentially naked at this point in the game. :S
Climbing Post
I’ve been trying to get some PlayStation time in again.
It’s been a while with two small children about.
I took this shot of Aloy just after the battle at the Forbidden West gates near the start of Horizon: Forbidden West.
Capturing the stories
I have an internet friend who was also once my boss.
He writes a lot over on his blog — he writes blogging tips, short stories, cyberpunk, funny/quirky tales.
I find it inspiring for myself wanting to create short stories too.
Not short stories in books — just blog-length ones.
I tend to get little ideas of “what ifs” pop in my head now and again, but most end up getting forgotten.
I need to start using my notebook again.
As I write this, the tap is dripping, and I am thinking “Maybe a story about the frustrations of a dripping tap”.
We’ll see.
This post is one of those thoughts too: the thought that I should start to just write the ideas that I have.
No filter.
No excuses.
Let’s see how this goes.

Born This Way by Lady Gaga
Not a huge Lady Gaga fan but this album has some bangers on it.
Probably one of the better albums of 2010s pop, based on my limited experience.
I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight by Richard and Linda Thompson
I’ve been a fan of Richard and Linda Thompson for many years.
However, I have somehow never listened to this album — at least I can’t recall hearing it before.
“pour down like silver” and “hokey pokey” I have heard a few times though.
This album did not disappoint.
Really love their idiosyncratic sound.
Continuum by John Mayer
First time listening to John Mayer.
Nice album.
Quite relaxing whilst programming with songs that have nice messages.
