Lately my nights have been: - scan the sky 🔭 - record and decrypt signals 💾 - listen the signals 🎧🙉 - have a coffe ☕️ - waits what’s that noise 🫣 - let me quickly check outs… OH FUCK - hide and cower - clean the base and make the rooms pretty ✨ - sleep when the sun comes out 🌅 #VoicesOfTheVoid

Does anyone in #astronomy #astrophotography have any recommendations for a solid transport case for a telescope? I have a Celestron NextStar 130slt and I currently have a soft bag to bring it around, but I’ll need to transport it via plane soon.

I finished watching #AlienEarth and I wish they would have removed a couple of episodes before the season finale and added some after it. The entire series felt slow, painfully so, with not enough time to even enjoy events unfolding. I would love to like it. But *sigh* I’m so torn.

It’s incredible how you just need to mute a couple of words to make your feed a better place 😌

What’s the most memorable character you ever seen in a boardgame? To me it’s the Janitor in Nemesis:Lockdown. While the others are barely surviving the aliens, he is like ehhhh I got the keys of the station, cigarette in mouth. And his special weapon? A pressure washer that SHOO away the aliens. 🤯

Gonna miss these little guys #humminbird

Friday night #DeltaGreen session. First time I played online with Roll20, I was worried the group would not “focus” on the game like in real life but it went really well! I also had a real scare jump at a certain point 😱 #TTRPG

Went through the BLACKSAT scenario in #DeltaGreen. Didn’t end very well 😅 but a really fun story!

I’ve been COMPLETELY binge playing #VoicesOfTheVoid these weeks ✅ process signals from deep space ✅ horror an existential dread ✅ “figure all of it out” gameplay ✅ had one of the biggest scare jumps of my life ✅ actually pretty relaxing cleaning and organising the base game mrdrnose.itch.io/votv

I’m so sad I have to relocate to another city and lose the group of people I have been playing #TTTRPG with. I really started to enjoy their company and experience had became a pillar for keeping me grounded to reality.

The Abstract x Random quadrant contains children’s games and games primarily used for gambling. It also includes games that exist as a way to facilitate socializing like bunco (“a fun dice game with no skill required”)... Read the whole thing: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/randomness...

Received a little present bought from past myself that made me smile today #TTRPG

Another amazing session of #DeltaGreen. This is an investigation of a “mysterious rescue” of a missing person in a remote natural park. Didn’t finish it yet but it’s already spooky as hell.

Spent the day playing “The Altimer” . Pretty great story, but some design elements that threw me aloof a bit as player. The book is asking to record and track things that are never used in the book at all or in the same paragraph of a game over. I have se sequel so maybe they are needed there? 🤔

🧵 Sept. 1-2, 1859: The Carrington Event, during the solar cycle 10. On 1 Sept. 1859, English astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson noticed a sudden brightening on the Sun's surface like they'd never seen before— the first record of a solar flare... 1/5 🔭 🧪 #stellarastro #histsci

This, the Eastern Veil Nebula, is the other half of the supernova remnant that I posted yesterday. The debris expanding over the past 15K years or so, giving the current very large structure. Both are particularly beautiful due to the amount of oxygen (blue). Click ALT for more info #astronomy

A solar storm is on the way and may cause a moderate or even strong geomagnetic storm on Monday or Tuesday. Impact is predicted for around 20 UT on September 1, and auroras may be seen further equatorward than usual on Monday and Tuesday night. Here's what you need to know... #heliophysics #aurora

Zoinks! by @lorelock.co is a fun pick up and play #TTRPG that flips the script on Scooby-Doo by having the players play as the villains. Read my full review here:

Had a great weekend playing #DeltaGreen and #CyberpunkRed . In cyberpunk, we survived an eco terrorist attack that released a toxic fog across the city, closing ourselves in a bar. In Delta Green we were supposed to do an easy job cleaning up documents from an old operative… #TTRPG

🌕 Surprise in Uranus’ sky! Astronomers have just spotted a new moon in images taken by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Check it out alongside 13 of the 28 other known moons orbiting the planet. Read more about S/2025 U1 👉 esawebb.org/images/uranu... 🔭🧪

Look what arrived in the mailbox today 😁 #DeltaGreen #TTRPG

I’ve been waiting for 20 years for this! Can’t wait! #VtM

Just finished up Nightshift! Really cool game book, but in fairness I started to enjoy it much more after I downloaded the optional map to better understand how to move around. I underestimated the amount of notes I had to take, so I died a lot 😂 #Solorpg #ttrpg

What's your best ways to "read it later" a webpage AND REMEMBER about it? I tried multiple tools, browser features, but I always forget to read what I have saved 😭

the one page rpg jam is ending this weekend #1pRPGjam so today I'm going to go through some random entries in this thread and share them with you! itch.io/jam/one-page...

Tonight’s reminder

And another small haul for today. Some solo adventure books I can’t wait to try! I’m orbiting around horror and sci-fi so if you have any recommendations let me know! #TTRPG

New arrival today! I must say I’m very happy about how the shipping was managed (I ordered directly from @chaosium.bsky.social ‘s store) and can’t wait to try the introductory solo adventure! Very well put together product 👌 #TTRPG

Bought a little something #TTRPG

Tonite we played Dread. Fantastic system. I played "uncle Earl", world war 1 vet with a "sweet tooth" for alcohol and gambling. The story was an inheritance meeting in an old mansion turned supernatural. Managed to escape to leave another year 🤣 I love #TTRPG

My self esteem and motivation every time I try to take on a project 🥲

I love 80's 90's electro and neo electro, but all fake police car sirens sounds make me panic when I drive 😭

Mood every time I walk around Santa Monica 😌 youtu.be/VuXD3jTDqqU?...

Had an amazing night doing #astrophotography in Sardinia. These are short exposure shots with the Seestar S50.

Porto Flavia in Sardinia looks like it came out of a Lara Croft game. Incredible piece of history

Pretty happy about this pic of the Dumbbell Nebula. I'm travelling so I just did the stacks directly on my Seestar, but planning to play around with the single shots when I go back home with @siril.org So happy about doing #astrophotography with a clear dark sky 🥹

Red panda things in Parco Natura Viva. #redpanda

Drowning my feeling with booster packs 😂

Lessons learned these days. It’s not important the amount of effort, sacrifice you put into relationships with friends and family, if on the other side there is no appreciation of it. Sometimes, the only language people understand is “fuck off” and silence. It’s sad, but I need to defend myself.

Finally some good weather in Italy up the mountains. Did some #astrophotography with my Seestar. Captured well the full moon and M4

Families are hard

Pretty chill day up the mountains

Opening some #alteredtcg packs tonite with a friend 😆
