No Man’s Sky
Wednesday
At the anomaly with egg sequencer
I have a conundrum and that I have 29 pets but I just saw another pet. I wanna get plus their pets that Oceanus gives. I’m gonna have to cull. I’ll make some eggs first the ones I may cull both crabs, and Reggie is gonna go.
I have to stop watching this guy’s videos.

NMS Scottish Rod
I thought I was doing well with my 29 pets and one slot open for egg checking but I just saw four more pets that he has so I’m gonna have to put some pets into “storage”. Which means I might have to wait a day or two to make sure I have enough copies of their eggs. Of course, if I give them to one of my alts, they could always make a copy for me so that might work as well.
Look at these gorgeous pets. And they’re all SSS. I spent over an hour trying to get the floating elephant, head, stingray pet. I finally gave up after jumping and moving my Corvette and doing all sorts of things, including building a base on the side of the hill.
Thursday
Saw a post on Facebook and someone else was trying to get that same pet. I was talking about camera angles so I actually got on flatscreen and I was able to get the pet on Aprillian along with a couple of other SSS pets. One of the pets that I got yesterday was able to drop an egg today and I gave it to April Pvd and she got its traits up and then gave the pet back. April Pvd got 20 of her pets up to 30 and got the horror pet. When you get your pet from Oceanus it’s an egg form so April Pvd took him over to the egg sequencer and I don’t know if it’s normal but what I did was to try to change the color using chromatic metal but when it was hatched, it was also teeny tiny!
TRAITS
Playfulness
100% (Whimsical)
Aggression
100% (Ferocious)
Independence
100% (Adventurous)
Making progress in the arena league. I got two out of five pets so far.
Friday
So this is crazy. You can only carry 14 eggs and I had given Aprillian some eggs to hold from April Pvd to be distributed, but then I went to get an egg from the elephant racing thing and realize that she had to hatch one of the eggs she had in the inventory to be able to take another egg, but I couldn’t remember, which was which that she already had because I was renaming the pets to something else so now I have to make sure the name matches or I won’t know what I already have hatched. It matters for two reasons one and so that I’m not catching a duplicate, but it also matters to find where they can have another egg if I wanted to.
I got one really cute pet that has a huge head and I call it a Scottish head from my married axe murderer, the Michael Myers movie and like the horror one I use chromatic metal to change the color, but it shrunk it down to real real teeny.
Saturday
I took Aprillian out to Battle, but her highest pet was only five. Someone was complaining about the slowness of leveling on Facebook and I wrote about the fact that if you have pets that are all the same level they’re gonna level slow, but if you bring in a “ringer“ at a higher level, your low level pets will probably die, but once the game is over if your ringer is good enough to win the battle, they’ll get a whole bunch of levels like up to 18 or 19 the first time around, but after that it’s gonna be slower to level. I even fooled around with not gene editing and they ended up getting four levels so up to 22 but again they die really quickly so you might as well go ahead and edit their jeans. I hatched my most recent modified pets. Although one wasn’t all 100% with its traits so I had to restore my Save and pop over to the anomaly and increase the independence and then hatchet. I found a really lovely planet that had this gorgeous beaches and I made a base there called beautiful beach.
I got my elephant Ray animal up to 100% and I think I put platinum in for the day and it came out this gorgeous red.
Sunday
Hopped on Epril and April Pvd gave her some eggs. Which she hatched and they were all 100%. But the problem is when you don’t have any major pets then they level really slow. Of course I can do the duplicating glitch and just feed them those gene pallets, but it’s kind of neat to watch them fight from the bottom and see how they use their moves. I’ve become obsessed with ElephRay
Monday
Monday, Thursday and Saturdays are workout days for me and while I’m working out, I always get brilliant ideas sometimes game related but most times not. April Pvd has gone crazy hatching all of her aids, but there’s a limit to how many eggs you can hold. You can only have 18 eggs across all of your storage your ship everything. I thought about when I found out that I could look for those pets in my other saves that I’ve gotten from expedition rewards and I realize that I could store eggs on my other saves. So that’s what I’m doing today.

I watched another video by this guy and this time he was talking about reloading. I wish I had thought about this before because I hatched most of the expedition eggs in my other saves. So at first, I was gonna start another save and then save that one for reloading and I actually went to the whole trouble of landing on a planet and repairing my ship, but then I remembered that I did have one other save that I don’t think I claimed the eggs in because they were in a Corvette witches a little bit further out at the anomaly. So I logged in on that save, but she was broke and all she had was a Corvette not even a Second radiant ship so she must’ve been a save from an expedition. I had her join Sebastian and then he gave her some things to sell and then she went back to her safe so those things landed on a space station and bought a regular ship. So now she’s in the process of running back-and-forth between her ship and the Quicksilver guy hatching an egg right now. It’s the mechanical mouse one and then checking it and then restoring. I’m gonna keep doing this until I get in 3S on that pet. It’s a lot of trouble to go through, but it’ll be cool if it works out.
Pvd did do some pet battles and she’s learning a lot about her pets. There is a skill and a planning that makes things go so much better. I’m really learning how to use the the stun on one which one coupled with something that takes a couple of turns it really comes in handy. Then there’s another pet that has remove positive buffs, which is really handy.
Tuesday
So I have trying at least a dozen times or more with the account that I had from the expedition, which by the way, I totally forgot I could’ve just gotten the living ship from the expedition instead of going out to buy a ship, I accidentally forgot to restore when I logged off. So now I’m going to work on the one I started. If we become obsessed with getting this mechanical pet with 3S. I need help! I also forgot that that was the account that I brought back that rectangular sparkly pet that I quickly deleted after I found a 3S version from a YouTube video. But I’m having fun so that’s all that matters.
I can’t believe I did it. I did have to use a fresh save and go through the whole process of getting off the planet and being contacted by Artemis, but I did have Aprillian visit me and give me some supplies along with some salvage data so that really helped. So after a few restores, I got my triple S mechanical worm and it is so cute. Then I logged off to my main save to go to a mechanical planet so that I could prepare to have an egg from the triple S. And then I summoned a brilliant again and then logged off of my main save back to the one that had the triple S mechanical Dog, and left her there because it’s gonna take 24 hours for her to be able to lay an egg. But just to make sure I logged in on Sebastian who has the pet hatched and was able to confirm that that pet could indeed lay egg on that planet. It was a lot of fun and worth it so now April Pvd is going to take that egg make it 100% traits, but that also means he needs to get rid of one of her pets.

Aprillian made a base on the Mech planet yesterday and I had her teleport to it. Then I got on April Pvd and the New save and at first, I just had her join Aprillian but since we had like 10 minutes left before the 3S mechanical worm could lay an egg. I had her put a base down as well. Because she’s gonna have to come back again every 24 hours to lay an egg. While I was doing other things waiting for the timer to go down the tutorial actually popped up an information thing saying your pet can now lay an egg. That was convenient. So she laid the egg and I had just watched a video where a YouTuber had picked up an egg, but his inventory was full in his his ship and his freighter and then his egg disappeared. So I made sure I had room which was important because this was a new save and she didn’t have a full inventory. Then I gave the egg to a brilliant and then logged off of April Pvd on the new save and logged into April Pvd on my 700 hours save. She got the egg from a brilliant and then gave her some of the eggs she had. But of course now I have to wait another 24 hours before I can hatch that egg but I left April Pvd at the anomaly so tomorrow she can up the traits.

I’m so happy I did it. I got my triple S class mechanical worm dog. And it has 100% traits. I’m excited because it says that it’s mature which means that in 24 hours I should be able to have it lay an egg.
I also went to a planet suggested by a YouTuber to get another anomalous pet. But April Pvd’s pet allotment is full so I went there using the portal and then had Aprillian join me and she got the pet. I am really loving this game.
Friday
Well, some battles with my new Robo dog worm. My goal is to do as many regular battles until I get the championship token and then go to the space station so that I can use the portal to summon Aprillian to some more 3S pets.
I also did some flat screening while I was watching interstellar. I also took my mechanical 3S dog mouse to have another egg. I’m gonna be doing that every 24 hours. Maybe we are handsome out to nice people.
Saturday
There was a lot of buzz about a new car for VR and it was put out by the people who do flat 2 VR
FlatOut VR Releasing Officially May 7, 2026! Wishlist Now
I was curious about other games that might have been converted and I went down a UEVR rabbit hole. So I decided to try it. I installed it and originally tried it with grand theft auto and Wallet worked reasonably well in a top down way I just could not the inherent violence of the game. I really just wanted to drive around and have a home and stuff like that but the storyline you have to follow was just too much. so I got the spreadsheet of all the games that work with you EVR and went down the list and of course most of it is basically fighting games but you know a lot of games are fighting games. Then I noticed that Medieval Dynasty was on it. Now it’s kind of confusing because there is a Medieval Dynasty New Settlement that is VR and it’s really good but the one on the flatscreen is more intricate and there are more things you can interact with plus your workers can get married and there’s a whole whole Nother level in that version. So I spent $35 I shouldn’t have it got the game. It’s funny cause I bought it before and was trying to play it using the headset and virtual desktop as a big screen. I just could not get used to using a game pad but this time the UEVR actually gave you some control, but it wasn’t perfect. I contacted a guy on YouTube through his Patreon after paying three dollars to get a profile that would help me use the game better but he said he had to get back to me. So then I decided I didn’t wanna go ahead and play it but this time I was using a keyboard and mouse. Thinking about setting it up like I did with star citizen. I was thinking I would get a little bit further in so that when I got the profile I would be pretty set up. I was motivated by the fact that when I did use the UEVR it was pretty much perfect as far as a VR game. I was immersed in the forest or in the village and it was really nice. But I ended up going back to No Man’s Sky.

Spent the day battling pets and taking April Pvd around to make eggs. I really wanna get more copies of that 3S mechanical pet. So I actually had.Aprillian build a base for April Pvd’s second save or rather save that I was using to get the pet in the first place. I mean, she doesn’t have the pet with 100% trait, but it’s still nice to have the triple S pet. Although I may eventually give her one since she’s on that planet.

I’m running out of room for eggs. I don’t understand why they would give us the ability to have more pets but not the ability to hold more eggs. I want an egg for every one of my 30 pets but I can only hold 14.
So this means I have to find other saves to hold my eggs. And then I saw another pet that I wanted, but April Pvd has no more room so I was able to bring a brilliant over this time. Yesterday I saw that I wanted, but I think it’s in a purple system and I don’t think a brilliant can go into the purple system so I had to delete a pet after I made sure I had the egg and then have April Pvd get that pack. It’s becoming a really big obsession, but I can’t help myself.
Tuesday
I’ve been getting an egg from The save where I managed to produce the 3S mechanical worm. I figured why not the egg is gonna hatch but then I realized I could take that thing and make it a 100% and then hatch eggs from that one so I spent the day doing that. But I also had some other eggs that she had and now I’m gonna spend some time converting those eggs. It’s so crazy but it’s fun.

Good day all!
I haven’t been playing too much over the last couple of weeks.. just been busy with IRL stuff!
I did however, manage to get two nice Mount drops, Mollie (the Llama mount) and the Ashenvale Chimaera. I also got the Stormhide Salamander and the Dune Scavenger. Other than visiting the Darkmoon Faire, some Delves and levelling some characters, I have not done too much more on Warcraft!
With the release of Diablo 4: the Lord of Hatred, I became more and more interested and drawn in by the new expansion.. I took the plunge and dived in! I haven’t had too much time to play, but I am working my way through the campaign and really enjoying the story. It’s taken a while to get to grips with the mechanics of the game. There are similarities between D4 and WoW, however there are obviously a lot of differences. Some of the armour sets are absolutely amazing, stunning and insane looking!
I started with a Barbarian, probably due to watching Bhajeera’s live streams. I’ve also learn some great tips from him too.
Also a big shout out to Big G for all his help 👍🏻
Anyway.. hope you are all well and enjoying your games?
Take care all..
