So the game has pretty shitty tutorialization. This guide is a pretty comprehensive overview of a lot of the mechanics in ED.

Elite Dangerous is still super pretty. Also those rings aren't just a sprite; if you fly close you drop out of warp and they're an actual endless expanse of rock/ice chunks. https://awoo.space/media/IG1Z9Y463BgG7q5A9Dk

Usually when I leave soap in my hair, I notice *before* I get dressed.

Oh well.

Wish I had a space girlfriend to sit in the copilot seat.

Really though it's kind of lonely to see that chair always empty, especially on long-range missions.

As a sidenote here, while discussing myths in terms of cultural/socialization utility (i.e. hey we have a myth to teach a lesson about how to behave) is sometimes an interesting lens, I find it *painfully* limiting when it's the only lens used. It's even worse when myths are framed as *only* existing for cultural utility.

Podcast recommendation: Spirits.
Two women share and discuss myths, usually while drinking.

I really like the way they come at mythology. They treat myths as living, and tend to center cultural and personal subjectivities.

Apparently I somehow completely missed the black hole when I visited Maia :( :(

Heh, zeta puppis isn't on that list though :p

Me: "hmm, I kind of have a hankering to fly out to Zeta Puppis and see the nearest class-O star."

"hmm, I wonder if there's an list of interesting exploration destinations?"

Internet: "I got you covered!"

Gosh though I'm so glad people are actually thinking talking about this. This is a _really hard topic_ and there's no easy out-of-the-box solutions that actually address the complexities of real human interaction. Let's work on this together!

Astroglide is terrible lube, y'all. It's not very slippery and irritates skin for a lot of people.

The first time I came in I was vectored to Pad 43, which had a Dolphin already parked in it just happy as a clam. I had to exit and re-request docking.

A couple minutes later I saw an AI vessel furiously grinding itself against the Dolphin, hopelessly attempting to land.

Showing up in the Nu Tauri system for the community goal like hey uhhh so I have an order for explosives with a side of beryllium, is this the right address?
