AprilPvd in VR:

No Man’s Sky

Wednesday

Went crazy looking for these multi tools

Thursday

While I was multitool hunting, I found a really cute sentinel ship but April Pvd‘s inventory is full for vehicles so I’m going to give E one of her ships because neither of the other three have done the living ship quest. But when I logged into E she had not ended the expedition, which is funny because now I remember, I left her in the game so she could share stuff with April Pvd, but I forgot, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the expedition was still open as it were so she went in and closed it out and now she’s gonna meet up with April Pvd to get that ship. I love this game so much.

Friday

Took Epril back to her freighter to check out her vehicles because April Pvd had found a vehicle looking for a particular staff from using autophage

How to Get Magic Staff Multi Tool in No Man's Sky Aquarius

The whole concept is so intriguing that you can make different staffs based on a different locations. You are now I wasn’t really clear at first what was going on but the more I tried it at this particular place it was intriguing. I’m not a big staff person but I really do like the way they look. So now I’m going to have to figure out a way to run my other characters through this quest line so they can get the staff as well.

Saturday
I got caught up on a video about living frigate and realize that he needed some more so I started trying to get some from her. Of course my problem is that only April Pvd has portal and all the gifts so I’ve been summoning my other characters two get them where they need to go. I found this one ship that I really liked.

Sunday

Still trying to get the Living Frigates on Epril and Sebastian but only got it on AprilPvd. Found out a Aprillian had not closed out the expedition. Didn’t realize I could still close it out even though she hadn’t finished all the missions. Didn’t realize that I didn’t really need anything from the missions that she hadn’t completed. At least by closing it out, she got some units and some nites. Then I decided to go around all of my characters and send them out on missions with organic frigates so they could possibly get some spawning sacks. I thought I had some spawning sacks, but I couldn’t find any and I wanted to increase the inventory of some of the living ships I have

Monday

Just decided to try one more time with Epril to get the living frigate in the system that April Pvd had gotten hers and I did it on the flat screen because I was watching some YouTube and checking my blood pressure. I was very happy that it worked. So next, I’m checking it on Sebastian. I don’t know if it’s a timer or if it’s just random or you just have to keep going, but this one is so beautiful that it was worth it.

Tuesday

I was trying to explain to one of my sisters about how fortunate I am to have virtual reality because I can work out in my home and she said what is the difference between that and using YouTube to work out. It really sparks something in me so I’m going to try to do some videos on the difference. There’s so many advantages to working out virtual reality. Now I know it’s not for everyone because I have been in VR so long that I hardly noticed the headset when I’m working out I’m so into the movement and getting my goal. My “fun thing“ to do now is to try to get a perfect streak when I’m boxing. Now and this is a perfect example of the biggest difference between YouTube and virtual reality. When I’m doing the boxing in YouTube I’m hitting and getting haptic feedback on the spots that I’m punching on. You could not get that on YouTube plus all of the apps I use keep track of my activity so I can go in and see what I’ve done and see my progress.
