Wishing my Vanguard family some rest and excitement ahead of the expansion releasing this week!

My Space Engineers Destiny Darkness Pyramid (Named Nezarec) had its maiden voyage into space tonight. It’s so ominous! It’s underpowered for atmos and gravity flight but is good enough for space. Engines are at a minimum to focus on the spooky interior aesthetic.

Once I finish the interior I’ll record a tour and put it up on Youtube.

What does one call a group of Destiny Ghosts?

Twinkles (little lights) (of Ghosts)?
A haunt (of Ghosts)?
A rise (of Ghosts)?
A conscientious objection (of Ghosts)?
A brood (of Ghosts)?

How it started, how it's going. πŸ•Ήβ€οΈ

Collecting a few portable mini arcade devices is a dream come true for my child self who in 1983 or so saw mini LED arcade games in the SEARS Wish Book and went bananas haha.

Hey kid-me, just wait 40 years, k?

But I've since learned how to make something not jack-of-all-trades and to be light and zippy for dedicated use cases.

"Ferret" was born. It's perfect for quick manual mining runs while I work on a proper mining ship.

So the fleet has begun in earnest...

There were program reminiscent incidents during initial design and flight tests...

The first shot for the moon failed and I fell back to earth sideways because of the gravity.

My first ship is so derpy! I didn't know anything yet and over-engineered it, but it's a genuine lifeboat capable of anything and everything. I can survive for 20 days in space with it haha!

2x O2/H2 generators for H2 tank and cockpit.
4x batteries.
Too many atmos engines because it heavy.
Too many H2 engines because it heavy.
Cargo box for the ice conversion.
2x H2 to Electricity generators for the batteries.

Since it's so derpy, I named it DERP of course!

I've become hooked on and got a dedicated server going. I started a base on Earth, my first ship made it to the moon to visit a friend who started a base there, and then I flew home.

His base is more advanced now with the help I provided, but I'm back home and building up my own! Made a fun walkway up a mountain to my windmill farm recently. They were below and too close to my base making it too difficult to park and take-off with my now 2 ships.

Some recent pics:

Reminder: is satisfying "wish my phone was a desktop computer" fulfillment. 😍

After hours in the Last Wish raid getting 2,000 kills with an event gun, the last step of Dawning gilding is done!

I'm a Star Baker. 🌟πŸͺ

@britt I visited your list, added a game from the list to my shopping cart, selected buy as a gift, but then how do I gift it to you? Steam asks for a friend name or account number. I can't seem to buy a gift for someone not already in my friends list?

Should we encourage people to expand their friend lists first?

I don't like Elon, won't use the bird site and won't buy Tesla anything (stock, car etc.)

But the Tesla stock doesn't necessarily show direct correlation. It's also following 2022 trends.

Much of the tech market tanked in 2022:

Spotify: -158,67 (-67,05Β %)
Apple: -44,05 (-24,99Β %)

Microsoft: -96,50 (-28,83Β %)
AMD: -82,28 (-56,30Β %)
Amazon: -87,28 (-51,02Β %)

Nasdaq composite:

Tech ETFs too.
