So, you know that mirror text thing I mentioned on the bottom of the Cobra V....

Yeah - sorry about that.

....Are you enjoying your new Panther?

This misprint is on the underside of your Cobra V
I'm sorry to bring this to your attention because you won't be able to unsee this now
This may make your OCD twitch a little

Thank God #EliteDangerous is so rich and deep that it's almost impossible to run out of ideas for animations and funny pictures to welcome new patrons.
Thank you, @moonshade-gaming.bsky.social ! Please accept this picture "Lunch Break" as a token of my appreciation for your support o7

That question: ‘Tonto, what would you like for Christmas this year?’

[Tonto dream sequence: conveyor belt full of expensive #tech #gadget things Tonto dreams of.
Tonto then considers the vast expense of each item…]

‘Um, agh, don’t fuss over me, just get me some socks.. ooh #elitedangerous Arx?!’

Some people, including family, think #EliteDangerous is just a ‘Computer Game’

Pfft!

Yes, there are ‘computer games’, but then there are ‘alternate second life simulations’ (ASLS?)

[might need to work on that]

To them I’m ‘Dad’ and ‘husband’

But I’m also Cmdr Virtual Tonto (plus an alt or two)

I was slightly surprised to find our #EliteDangerous Titan, hokey-cokey-Joe, hovering somewhere over the US this morning.

I had expected to find coke-break-joe hanging menacingly over a certain office complex at the Cambridge Science Park in Cambridge UK 🤷🏻‍♂️😜

#EliteDangerous confessional

I didn’t get up early to witness cockle-shell Joe explode this morning

Worse than that

I didn’t go to bed

The 8yr old portion of my 50yr old self was too giddy to sleep.

Stayed up talking about Elite and D&D and character development with my son

Quality insomnia o7

#EliteDangerous Fans Unite for Thargoid Titan Explosion

Streets eerily quiet
Public transport empty - ghost rides
Coffee queues suspiciously short
Dogs, puppy eyed, What about my walk?
Cats in passive-aggressive protests - demand meals

Authorities say 'It’s just a game'
Not a real alien invasion

Played #Elite-1984 when I was a kid and dreamed of being a space adventurer when I grew up.

Now I get to be a space adventurer in #EliteDangerous

I ditched the option to be a grown-up and chose to just be a slightly bigger kid instead.

Also ditched a decent head of hair too!

Ah #EliteDangerous Thargoid overlord

I see you already have an ‘Earth brochure’ from the agent/realtor

Yes, its around 4.5 billion years old

100 to 117 billion previous occupants

A Planet Coaster?
I suppose maybe
(salt in the wounds?)

A Planet Zoo?
For the human race?
I mean, yeah, you could..

Cocijo (pronounced ‘Cocky Joe’) is a Thargoid rock music band currently performing a ‘whistle-stop music tour’ of the bubble in #EliteDangerous

Note to humans - shows can only be enjoyed by humans or other Thargoids who are connected to the hive mind.

🤘🎸

Happy #eliteversary Commanders

Thank you @algo-fodder.bsky.social for sharing @tocoso.bsky.social 's #EliteDangerous music with me.

Tocosco - how did I not know about this already?!
Cracking depth of talent in ED community - never ceases to impress me. Love it.

I have talents too.. [Tonto pats his head and rubs his tummy]

Does anyone know of a marriage support group for partners of #EliteDangerous players?

I’m (cough) just asking for a friend.

I’ve heard some people describe #EliteDangerous as miles wide and an inch deep.

Pfft… No. The depth can be found in the friends you make in the games awesome player community.

10 years in the game and still no less inspired to be ‘paying it forward’ to help new players like others have helped me

You have nothing worth posting.

Everyone else’s content is awesome.

Your #EliteDangerous stuff is boring.

Nobody will be interested.

[The little voice in my head when I open up social media in general]

Imposter Syndrome? or maybe Afraid Poster syndrome?! 😁

Okay, welcome everyone to this Elite Dangerous System Auction, I see many of you are looking forward to buying and colonising your very own system.

Just a quick check before we proceed - are there any Thargoids here?

‘No, no, no - no - clack-clack - no, no’

With the recent announcement of player system 'colonisation' coming to #EliteDangerous , I thought it might be worth doing some window shopping.

All those systems, so much choice...
Which system will you choose to make your home?
