Thought we could maybe do with cheering up, so I refracted some sunlight through billions of suspended water droplets.
Hope you like it - I can never remember what order to put the colours in and always end up having to sing that damned song...

Allowed my son to select my next destination in #NoMansSky.
The planet he selected was strangely inhabited by sentient lightning, so apparently I have a pet energy being now.
I suspect he may be a glitch, but I hope he sticks around.

I blame this on the new Majuular video covering Serpents Isle, and the fact that Hitman VR is now good.

May have become a little obsessed with No Mans Sky. Was never a fan of the tiny starships the game gave you, and now they've gone and added 'build-your-own' corvettes.
Wish I could have an NPC crew though...

I...have never heard of Silksong.
Good luck to them though - sounds like a massive success.
If anyone needs me, I'll be probably playing something released in around 1993.

The Return of the Martians
They’re coming back.
It’s been two years since the events chronicled in “The War of the Worlds”. Humanity has moved on, the rebuilding efforts continue, and no-one really wants to think about Martians...
