Mostly here for cat pics and guitar effects pedals. I like playing Space Haven. There will be random thoughts and reposts.

If you see this, I implore you to post a pic from your device without context
A dark room that is only illuminated by a tv flatscreen, which has a childlike, sightly garish but rather charming painting of farmyard animals in a bright yellowy green field. At the top of the photo is the twilight silhouette of a rooftop with a chimney.

Probably not the most common shot of Norwich Cathedral spire, but it’s there.
Wintery December sunshine reflects off of an old brick road alleyway. Backs of houses with their yards are to the left and right. They are mostly in shadow. In the distance is a telegraph pole and just to the right of that, further into the distance, the spire of Norwich Cathedral peaks out into the sky. I suspect it’s a rarely seen (or rather photographed) view of the spire. It is 6 Celsius outside and I am walking downhill along the brick alleyway.

Hurrah, Im rather excited about the latest Space Haven (unstable branch) update! Spent a couple of hours having a quick look at it. No major spoilers (yet + I haven't got that far), but here's a new starting ship design.
What will I be doing over Christmas? This. @spacehaven.bsky.social #indiegames
A screenshot from the game Space Haven. To the left is a small starting ship design, the outline of which sort of looks like a bat- there's a bit of poetic license with that description though! We can see inside the ship and its various starting facilities - 2 engines, a smaller shuttle, a large storage area, kitchen area and a couple of consoles. It's all pretty basic starting out stuff really. It's day 1 of a new adventure and my ship needs a lot of work! But I'll get there, eventually.

Encountered this cat on my travels. Was happy for a few strokes but wasn’t going to move away from its spot on the garden wall. Entirely reasonable really.
A sandy coloured cat sits on a waste high wall. The cats eyes are a very dark green, and it has a pink nose. There are some lighter, almost white, parts to the cats fur. It’s like a piece of bread that’s been toasted under the grill, but heat hasn’t reached to some parts of the bread, or in this case, a cat. The top part of the wall, which the cat sits on, is a dark brick which runs diagonally. In the background is the bright white of a plastic pvc front door and porch.

If anyone here plays #SpaceHaven then do say hi. Happy to follow you back and chat about the game.

Also, pro tip, don't try to shoot a flamethrower through a small gap in a wall, over a console, as things will get rather toasty.

(Nothing pro about that. I am an idiot.)

Image is a screenshot of the computer game Space Haven. On an alien infested space ship, one of my crew, Kathlene, has attempted a misguised skill shot with a flamethrower. It has gone badly, missing its intended target and setting the corridor which some of her crewmates are in ablaze. It does look spectacular though, but sadly the alien nest hasn't really been effected by it at all. We've all made mistakes, but don't worry, their spacesuits are pretty hardy.

Playing some Space Haven. This character's attritubes seem pretty on point. #indiegames
Screenshot from the game Space Haven, where a civillian character called Ame Aziere is standing in a retro, but futuristic looking spaceship. On the left hand side of the image, the game is telling us about Ame's personality. It reads: "Occupation before the apocalyse: telemarketer Traits revealed after the apocalyse: bloodlust." Don't mess with telesales people!

A clear, just above freezing, midday November blue sky for bluesky. Hope you are having a good one out there!
A gloriously clear blue sky with shifting shades of blue, much deeper at the top of the image and way lighter towards the bottom. In the foreground, at the bottom right, is a grey street light which stretches up into the blue. From the bottom right to the middle runs the back of a row of British terrace houses, which are bathed in wintery sunshine. The houses run into the distance, their view obscured by two trees at the bottom left.

Met a random cat on my travels today. It didn’t want to interact with me at all so it climbed up this metal fence and then looked at more interesting things across the street than me. (I like to think it was purposely posing for the photo though.) #cats
A black and white cat sits on top of a high metal fence and glares at something way more interesting than me across the street. The sky is blue, which is rare as it’s been really continually grey here for ages. There’s a wintery looking tree in the background and in between the square gaps of the metal fence you can see an old building. The cat has black parts either side of its face, where it’s eyes are, but it’s nose snd mouth has white fur around it.
