In my first 2,800 of gameplay, I had zero random black hole encounters. I’ve had two in the past three days.
I’ve been playing exclusively in the expedition. Ran out of room for ships so decided to start a new save in the expedition. Had one spawn in each save.
Would be interesting if it’s related to the expedition. But I think it’s just a coincidence.
I go to the gym over lunch during the workweek. It's not as busy as after work, but still pretty crowded.
They only have two butterfly machines. The other day, one was taken by a group of four guys that were taking forever and the other had a sweatshirt draped over the back of the machine.
No one had used it in about ten minute when I was done with everything else. So I asked everyone close to it if they knew if anyone was using it. They all said they didn't.
I used it for about ten minutes and was about to do my last set when a guy came over and said, "Excuse me, this is my machine. I have all my stuff here."
I had seen him on the cable pull machine and asked if he was doing a circuit. He relied, "I'm doing a power set."
I said, " Ok, I'm on my last set and it's all yours."
That apparently pissed him off and he replied, "You can't just take someone's machine, that's bad gym etiquette. But judging by your physique, you have no idea what that means."
I replied, "It's bad gym etiquette to use more than one machine when it's busy. That's why the sign says 'one machine per workout.' It's been 20 minutes since anyone used it."
He then said, "I'm a body builder and saw one of the judges. I was just saying hi."
"Ok, so you're taking up multiple machines while standing around talking at one of the busiest times of the day and you want to talk about etiquette?"
He huffed and stormed off. I finished my last set. Which took less time than he spent arguing. As I was walking out, I saw him at the front desk complaining. The guy just shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
As I passed him, he said "Hope you have a nice day, asshole." I replied, "You too, munchkin." For context, I'm 6'1". He's maybe 5'3".
I'm looking for a smoker and am a little overwhelmed with all the options out there. I'd like to stay around $500. Could spend more if it's worth it.
Only cooking for a family of three, so doesn't need to be huge. Will probably cook for an occasional party, but that's not a big consideration.
I have a Weber gas grill so don't necessarily need it to get blazing hot.
Live in the desert Southwest if that matters. It'll be under a covered patio. Not much rain or snow. My grill is still good as new after 11 years without covering it.
Most expeditions, you’re in and out. Collect your awards and it’s over. This one is going to take a while so I decided to unlock the portals so I could collect some of my ships.
Some of you probably know this. Some of you might not. But you can unlock glyphs by talking to travelers at space stations. They’re the weird NPCs that glow.
Talk to them twice and they give you the location of their grave. Visit the grave and you get a glyph. Get all 16 and you can use portals.
I had read that Korvax systems have a higher spawn rate for travelers so I decided to test it. I started by going to random systems. I was getting a traveler in maybe 1/10-1/20 systems.
Then I tried Korvax only. I was getting them about 1/5. At one point, they were at four stations in a row with one having two.
If you find two in one station, talk to one and visit their grave then go back and do the other one.
I verified the portals work afterwards. One note, there’s no way to unlock purple systems because you can’t trigger the quest. So you can’t visit those.
Found this during the expedition. It’s in the rear cabinet at the space station. Starts as C class.
Think I found where pirates dump their spacejacked freighters. Jumped into this system in the expedition and they’re everywhere.
Found this just in time for the update. Whatever that turns out to 🐝.
