I was farming the 'Dairy Milk' mission, and I don't know if anything has changed, but I also had two travellers land within a few minutes - landing on the pads. I don't remember when it happened before.

The second image, at night during feeding our animals (how they got on the island we don't know), with my Corvette ship on the left, and a traveller having arrived with their ship on the landing pad too the right. The stars are out with some patchy clouds. The third image during the early morning, looking back from in front of the Corvette, to a landing traveller's ship.

No Man's Sky really is beautiful on the PS5.

Last night I got emotional looking at this, my island resort planet.

If the 'end of the world' or more likely I know I'm dying soon, I'll just play this, crying alone at what we could have had, and am about to lose.

The three images I took for the three planet types on the expedition task. Disappointed that I couldn't get the embers to show up on the scorched planet one though.

#NoMansSky #HelloGames #PS5 #gaming
The first of the three required planet type images - the frozen planet. Snow is falling on to a fully snow-covered floor, with many trees in the background, some of which are without leaf. The rings of a nearby planet are in the sky. The second planet - the airless planet - with a barren floor, but for sporadic rocks, although there is a rocky hill in the background of the shot. The colours of space are in the sky beyond. The final planet I reached - the scorched planet. Standing in front of a number of solanium trees standing on a rocky hill. The ground is dusty brown, with the sky pink with dark grey clouds.

Completed Expedition 2 for the third time, though I think I only did twice with that 'find new systems' task a big time sink.

A bit disappointed with the choice of finishing planet too, as the 'big reveal' moment wasn't so aesthetically pleasing.

I look forward to driving this thing when it returns in Spec III. I don't think I ever did when it was in GT2.

I do wonder how a Japanese company can get this (and the Avantime and Kangoo before), yet a company 500 miles away can't, or be bothered to.

The tweet from the Matra Museum (Musée Matra) confirming as it appeared in the Yas Marina Circuit trailer, that the Renault Espace F1 which last appeared in Gran Turismo 2, will be in the Spec III update for Gran Turismo 7 in December.

This is my Custom Show car this week that won't be winning Platinum.

I thought using the LBWK M4 was perfect to stance and camber, and I as usual put on some other vanities.

But I like many also have the common glitch right now where I can't see this car in the show.

Does anyone really believe Bradford are a 22% better club this season? And improved twice as much as a club that won three trophies?

Also it shows the Championship (Grand Final) is completely meaningless.

Wakefield would have been in losing in 2024, and Toulouse...

'dies'

The famously Hamas supporting The Times of Israel the source, btw.
From Sky News: "Palestinian girl, 12, 'dies' after suffering from malnutrition for months Huda lost half her bodyweight in a matter of months, forcing her to be admitted to hospital. In July, she said she knew she looked unwell and that the war in Gaza had "changed" her."

What's even more remarkable is we were told for two fucking years that there was no way that an American president could tell and get Israel to stop what they were doing, and also to shut the fuck up about demanding it's done.
From Sky News's Mark Stone: (Trump) "Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it's far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East." This was a remarkable statement and represents a huge moment. Neither Mr Trump, nor Joe Biden before him, has ever asked this of Israel before. The American president was telling Israel to stop; to stand its military down and to bring this war to an end. Extraordinary.

So I got my 2nd Summit car, and 6th Platinum in 7 (the other I didn't try for), but it was fucking tense.

I had to use automatic gears, and got an extra 50k points. Even then nearly 1.3 million got me only exactly 14,000th place, so I needed those additional 5k slots too.

#TheCrewMotorfest #gaming
A screenshot of the Summit Contest Overview for last week's 'Autogeist Germany's Fastest' event, where although I scored 1,286,330 points, it was only good enough for exactly 14,000th place. That was tight, but with the additional 5,000 spots available, I still got the reward car - the Porsche 919 Clubsport. A screenshot near the Festival site in The Crew Motorfest, with the Porsche 919 Clubsport that I now own after last week's Platinum Summit. The car is similar to the Le Mans Hypercar, with the default livery red, black and white, with the number 01 in black on the front.

Seeing Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve get announced for Gran Turismo 7 makes me sad we didn't get it in Forza Motorsport.

It would have been something very different to the other tracks in the game.

Oh well, I guess that's not going to happen now.

Come on, man, what the fuck are we doing here?

Along with all the irregularities with the official Kirk event timeline, and shooter, I'm thinking these are an inside job.
From 'FBI Director Kash Patel' on Twitter: "This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming. These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead the these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice. Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased." An image of the supposed unspent bullets from the shooter, with one of the five having 'ANTI-ICE' in blue ink written on it.

Now Forza Horizon 5 added both the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato and Porsche 911 Rallye (Dakar), it's got to be worth bringing back this also modified road car for offroading, to join them in the next game.

For my next 'FH4 cars I want back in the next Forza' list video, I didn't realise how much of a vibe this shot is.

Next week we may know about 'FH6', but we need back some lobbies for meet-ups and cruising out of convoy. Horizon Arcade doesn't come close to Forzathon Live.

I'll probably do some more days of seeing if anyone wants a ride before the expedition ends, but now it's over with, I'm wondering about my Corvette.

Should I keep this oddball, or deconstruct it and take the parts back?

Also, hopefully the window bug gets fixed.

The front view of my odd-looking Corvette ship from the 19th expedition in No Man's Sky, coloured in black and gold, with windows (albeit glitched) at the front of both habs, and defensive systems on both sides as well as the top. The rear view of the same Corvette ship in a space station, with another craft in front of it. Here you can see the reactor engines as well as the opening. It also has two pairs of landing systems, one under each of the habs.

It's worth noting though that Keighley Cougars have just been 'promoted' up one level despite finishing, and spending "an awful lot of money" to finish there, 9th of 10 clubs, and only ahead of a club that could hardly score any points all season.

It's done.

Got 4000u with one player before I got booted, then this one with another traveller got the rest of the distance.

Got to hear 'Supermoon' 3 times this expedition. It was worth it all.

Also, this was the Corvette traveller 'Doutrinador' took us home in.

I never even knew of this car before, but as soon as I saw it in #ForzaHorizon4, I immediately loved the way it looks.

We got odd classic VWs, the Thing and SP-2 added for the first time in Horizon 5, but I'd love in the "next Forza" for the Karmann Ghia (Type 14) to return to join them.
