Great, thanks, lovely, pick it up and bin it for them. Check out the cute trailer below!
Lightyear Frontier won’t have a full town like Stardew Valley, but you can befriend its NPCs
It takes a particular type of farming game to really hook me in these days, but Lightyear Frontier‘s crop-planting mechs might just be the thing I’ve been looking for. Everything I’ve seen of Frame Break’s futuristic life sim looks delightful so far, and in a recent ID@Xbox showcase, the developers told us a bit more about how it’s going to operate, and whether those Stardew Valley comparisons are on the money.
When asked whether players would be able to befriend NPCs like other Stardew-likes, Frame Break’s CEO Joakim Hedström told us: “In short, yes. We don’t have a full town like Stardew, but the characters that are there, you’ll be able to get to know better and learn their stories.”

Pennsylvania Couple Recently Observes BIGFOOT on Ghost Town Trails, PA
A Pennsylvania couple had a credible sighting of a Bigfoot in October 2022 while biking on the Ghost Town Trails, Cambria County. The BFRO has classified this as a Class A sighting.
I received the following account from the eyewitness:
“On October 5, 2022, my boyfriend and I were biking on the Ghost Town Trails near Ebensburg, PA. As we came around a bend, we were looking straight ahead when we saw a huge dark figure on the right side of the trail. We looked at it, it was looking straight at us. It turned and stepped into the woods.
We couldn’t see the face clearly because of the distance. My boyfriend is 6”5 and it was much bigger than him. As it stepped off the trail there was a huge distance between his legs.
We finally stopped down the trail and were saying we couldn’t believe what we saw. We were biking fast. We went back to look for tracks, etc. but didn’t see any as there were so many leaves at that time.
We bike there every day and look for more tracks and signs. There were no sounds or smells. That was the coolest thing we ever experienced.
We went to a Stan Gordon talk a couple of weeks ago, very interesting. We live in Pennsylvania so our bike riding will be on hold because of cold and snow.” FB
NOTE: The sighting was reported to the BFRO (Class A) and the witnesses were interviewed by Matt Moneymaker. The full report is at the link. Lon

For a moment, the sinister-looking funnel of water seemed to be headed towards the Mudeford Sandbank — home to the most expensive beach huts in Britain.
The sea vortex ended up drifting away to the Needles on the Isle of Wight, then disappeared.
Witness William Evans said: “It looked like a big water funnel.
“I had gone up to see if I could get some shots of sunrise, but obviously there wasn’t much sun at all.
“You could see the spirals from a mile off and that was the intention of the picture, to show the scene with it being so windy.
“It was a really isolated downpour which swept across the bay towards the Isle of Wight before eventually dispersing near the Needles”.

Inside creepy abandoned ghost town where locals left their homes… and never returned
THIS is the ghost town locals left but never returned to.
The eerie village of Imber, on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, has stood empty for almost 80 years.

An abandoned church, homes and town hall are all that remain of a once bustling village – locked securely behind metal gates.
But it had its heart and soul ripped out at the start of WW2 when residents were told to collect their belongings and leave.
It followed orders that the area was to be turned into a military training ground for the British Army ahead of the Allied invasion of mainland Europe.
Residents were dispersed to nearby towns and villages, understanding the evacuation would be temporary.
But even when the war ended, they were not allowed to return.
Ever since then, Imber, once home to 150 people, has stood empty bar visits by soldiers and the occasional tour.
That is until an exceptionally rare ceremony granted a fascinating glimpse into life inside the ghost town.
Raymond Nash’s remains were returned to the tiny settlement on Thursday for his funeral.
The great-grandfather and former mechanic, who died at the age of 87 last month, moved with his mother from his first home in December 1943, when he was just a baby.
He left Imber after his father died aged just 31 but always hoped to be buried alongside his father at St Giles Church in the village.
To be buried in Imber a person needs to have been born in or to have lived in the village.
Following special permission from the Ministry of Defence, Raymond’s funeral went ahead, the first of its kind since 2012.
Around 110 mourners attended Thursday’s service at St Giles Church to pay their respects.
Kelvin Nash, Raymond’s 63 year old son, said the family have only been able to visit the village on select, restricted-access visiting days run by the MoD.
Addressing mourners , Mr Nash – a councillor who lives in Devizes – said: “He told us all about his village life, nearly getting run down by the army trucks.
“It can’t have been easy growing up without a Dad but he made the most of life.
“Wherever his journey took him, he made new friends and always managed to lend a helping hand.”
There are still two or three people alive who were born in Imber who could qualify to be buried in the ghost town.
It means Raymond’s funeral could be the last ever to be held at St Giles Church.
