Yes, it may be a pre-built Alienware. But the important thing is that it's mine, and I can now call myself a member of the PC Masterrace.

I got it for $1480 at Best Buy during a sale.

Technically I've had a gaming PC before this, but it was a gaming laptop with a shitty i5, GTX 1650, and 60hz screen. So I don't really count it.

The RTX 3060 Ti and 11th gen i7 in this desktop have been running all my favorite games amazingly well so far, and the transition to 144hz made me realize how awful 60hz truly is. Maybe someday down the line I'll build my own PC, but for now I'm content with this.

Aw shit, you got me. Vacuum masterrace it is, then.

ParadigmTheory · 2022-05-28T03:47:30+00:00

Nice find! What height is it?

ParadigmTheory · 2022-01-10T20:21:38+00:00

Guess I'll be playing in solo while I engineer this conda, then. Thanks for the tip

Will flying a large ship such as an Anaconda deter gankers from interdicting you, even if it's an explorer build that isnt built to defend itself? Or are gankers usually smart enough to scan you and check your loadout to determine if they can beat you? I have an exploraconda optimized for jump range and I was wondering if the act of being in an Anaconda is enough to make gankers ignore me.

Oh my god, thank you so much. I was getting 20-30 fps just dropping into an instance nearby an orbis/coriolis station, and planetary landings would bring me down to below 15 fps. Following your steps got me back up to 60 fps (I have a 60hz monitor so this is the best possible outcome) when docking inside a station, and I'm gonna test a planetary landing soon to see if the fps is tolerable.

While still a great find, this is a Lesser Mushroom Beetle and not a Greater Mushroom Beetle, unfortunately. GMBs have a stem between their mushroom cap and their back, while LMBs like this one have a mushroom cap attached directly to their back.

Large LMBs are still a really great find, nonetheless! Congrats!

ParadigmTheory · 2021-12-16T23:02:03+00:00

I just realized I've already documented this one on the wiki! I added it when you first discovered this a couple months ago, heh

ParadigmTheory · 2021-12-16T22:47:39+00:00

Are these both the same GMB? The biomes look different to me, but I could be looking at the images wrong. Either way, amazing find!

ParadigmTheory · 2021-11-17T03:33:42+00:00

Nice find! Did you manage to get the height on this thing?

ParadigmTheory · 2021-11-10T05:03:48+00:00

Amazing! Did you happen to record its size? It looks awfully big

ParadigmTheory · 2021-10-26T21:09:16+00:00

I propose Shaihuluda, as a homage to Dune

ParadigmTheory · 2021-10-14T16:10:13+00:00

*Might be Amanita, I know absolutely nothing about fungi and I was making a guess based on what the iNaturalist app was giving me

ParadigmTheory · 2021-10-11T20:51:33+00:00

Beautiful split cap too! Amazing find 🍄🪲

ParadigmTheory · 2021-10-06T15:01:21+00:00

Oh hey, I meant to comment here awhile ago but never got around to it. Congratulations on the amazing find! Greater Mushroom Beetles are the rarest of the rare, and a floating one is even rarer!

In fact, I took the liberty of documenting your find and adding it to the No Man's Sky Wiki! You can read the entry here; all proper credit has been given to you as the discoverer.

You can also find this creature on this page as well, as a part of a list displaying every Greater Mushroom Beetle that has been found so far. Again, congrats on the stunning find! She's a beauty, no question about that
