Day 17
After a routine of glute stretching, ibuprofen and a hot water bottle my Sciatica pain has been reduced to near nil. Pins and needles but tolerable and I can move around unaided for the most part.
Back in Stride again…again
Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart
Very pertinent lyrics as I struggle to recover from chronic Sciatica pain probably caused by 250+ hours on No Man’s Sky and too much computer desk time. A few weeks ago, I could not spell Sciatica and now, because of clean access to knowledge banks, human medical experts and Artificial Intelligence, I know that this extreme pain is nothing special and I should just deal with it.
For me, the inability to walk unaided and the constant pain is something that is hitting me emotionally as well as physically. I feel abandoned and ignored as disingenuous comments are floated my way.
I did not see this coming and had no incident response plan for being incapacitated.
So, during this rehab phase I will queue up a decent plan for next time as this body heads towards end-of-life I need to look at that reality.
Follow your Heart:
Meanwhile, all in-person appointments have been cancelled and I’m on very light duty at work and feeding on Isobutylphenylpropionic Acid aka Ibuprofen. My PS5 has been taken out of service during the rehabilitation stage.

May 2026 NIST Special Publication 800-172r3After a decade of avoiding No Man’s Sky I finally jumping in this absolutely massive computer-generated sandbox. My In-game economics were rough as I skipped through planets totally broke and after an unknown mission I hit the jackpot and got bumped up to 120,000,000 Units (aka in-game cash)…no use of AI, just one known exploit used and over 100 hours game play.
So what’s next after you wake up sitting on a bed of cash?
Where to find motivation once you reach a high achievement? Peak to Peak Principe? I’ve uninstalled and pre-ordered GTA 6…back to IRL for now.

Today in the UK: There are no known, clearly identifiable UK criminal prosecutions, outside deepfake and images creation involving minors, where AI was the central offending mechanism. Does this mean there are no other threats?

Didn’t wait in Vain
Dare I say it, deepfakes have triggered an era of human questioning the actual reality of things right in front of your face. I am curious about folk you are truly off-grid i.e. no smartphone, no internet connection and purely using cash for stuff. Making one’s life inconvenience hardly seems worth the effort, but I still long for a Faraday Jacket.
