Vindaloo supposed to last five days, already eaten half of it. :D
Turns out the extra hot chilli powder was mediocre. Tipped the full pot in and a full bag of bird eye chilli's for good measure.🌶🌶🌶🌶

Bit disappointed with the 'reveal', but that's on me for expecting too much. Looking at the forum I can see its done it's job.
Very much looking forward to Odyssey.

My Xmas present has turned up, 8 string uke. Tune it, play 3 chords, tune it, play 3 chords, tune it... I hate new strings.:ROFLMAO:
It's very good, sadly it was nigh on unplayable on opening, still got more fettling to do.

CG proceeding nicely, plenty cash.
Unbelievably, the carrier has sold out of stock yet again, so I'm gonna have to squeeze in a few missions with the right rewards to restock. Might get some more meta alloys too, they always shift even at max price, madness!🤑

Are the bog rolls in the fridge?

I'm looking at Odyssey too but I'm struggling to find a) system requirements and b) where to find a preorder link if I don't use Steam.

It is indeed!

However, I was interested this thing:

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey – Deluxe Alpha Expansion Pack option
£39.99/$54.99/46.99EUR
Will include:

  • The Odyssey Expansion
  • Official Digital soundtrack
  • Exclusive 'Pioneer' suit skin
  • Alpha access - more details to follow in the new year


I know I'm being extremely dense but in my defense it's quite late and alcohol isn't helping. Much.

My aging rig could struggle. Looking at the reveal, some of those graphics looks like ray tracing is in effect and my GPU is a million generations behin that.

In the meantime, I did find this:

You'll be at triple Elite before me I think! It's only taken me, oh, two and half years to reach 34% "dangerous" :ROFLMAO: Getting much further ain't going to happen anytime time soon.

I'm going back to the bubble. Again. I seem to be bouncing around with no clear goal at the moment. Maybe I'll try some more combat. Or look at how bad missions are now. I'd actually really like to take off into the black on an epic but given how tritium so long to get a decent amount of, I feel reluctant. I suppose I could ditch the carrier and do just that... Ah well...

On a more positive note, Expanse series 5 starts next week!

Well there are a pair of CGs just started here, Ellis Gateway | BD+05 1146 one is hauling goods the other bounty hunting mostly in adjacent systems with Compromised Nav Beacons or Hazardous RES.

Actually that is a more negative note for me, I was watching the Expanse around at friends but we hadn't started season 4 when lockdown happened so now going to be two seasons behind. 😞

You can always try the free trial of Amazon Prime and watch it yourself. (Assuming you have a free trial available.) I pay an annual sub for Prime and I basically get my money's worth easily via streaming music and video - delivery etc on buying stuff is incidental (but well used).

Prime is great, but I feel I'm being ripped off when they want more money for certain series/films. Gits.

On another note, I 've looked around the interwebs for Odyssey system requirements and it seems I should be OK. So, I'll be off to the store later.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've just folded space from Ix and arrived back at Diaguandri. Time to see what's what back in t'bubble

re system specs just be mindful that FDev have stating the blanket "nothing to share at this time" when asked so whatever is out there will either be current requirements or guesstimates
I have a feeling (ooooooowooooooo) that requirements are gonna bump up a bit otherwise why wouldn't they just state it?

I had a trial of Prime at the start of lockdown and used it to finish off Picard the series we were watching together at that time I suppose I should have watched Expanse 4 then but I just felt that it was something to do as a group.

Ix was my first base back when I got rich enough to buy ships for cash without part exchanging the old one.

Wait... what? Ix is a base? I hear there's "many machines on Ix, new machines" to quote a 3rd stage Guild navigator. I need to go there! What system is it in?

Found it :)

Now I need to find Arrakis, LV 426 and Fiorina 161 :D
