I’m so surprised by No Man’s Sky on the Switch. It’s playable and not really all that limited. If, as Hello Games teased, multiplayer could get added, it would be an even more amazing feat.

Will I be sticking with Switch as the main driver for NMS? I’m not sure. It’s very serviceable though.

But, as I was looking into inspirations for No Man’s Sky today, I came across Elite. I had no idea, but Elite was ported to the NES. They had to do some work around in the cartridge. I know the OG Elite isn’t the same as games like Elite: Dangerous or No Man’s Sky…but man seeing 3D graphics on an NES (drawn wire frames) is interesting..and the game is still open ended and large in scope. It probably blew people’s minds!

I’m really happy Hello Games did port to the Switch. It’s a very nice way to dip my toes into this amazing, amazing game.

A massage to the guy who wanted to gift me suff so bad he chased me in the Anomaly:

I bought the game in 2017, picked it up a few times after the big Next update and stopped. I started to play again a little bit over a month ago and I’m amazed. I am fascinated by a lot of mechanics that to me are completely new. Living ships definitely take the first place for me, I want to earn one so bad. Anyways, I managed to complete a few quests, get a decent amount of units, but it looks like the amount of things to do in this Universe is incredibly abundant. I was playing with a friend of mine a couple hours ago, whom was also amazed by this game and bought it instantly after watchig me playing with the PS Share Play for hours, and I helped him to get to the Anomaly. While I was waiting for him to talk with the various npc’s, a guy gave me maps to exosouit upgrade pods. They’re fairly easy to get, so I emoted a “thank you” and “no”, to try and let him know that I’m not that new, and that I didn’t need anything. While I was trying to walk away he literally CHASED ME to give me stuff. He gave me a void egg, which as far as I know, is hard enough to obtain and fairly expensive in quicksilver. We started to CHASE EACH OTHER, because I felt guilty and wanted to give him back the stuff! It was absolutely surreal, and it’s also weird how video game community change that much. Kids wishing you terminal diseases on Rainbow Six Siege, people dying to give you their items on No Man’s Sky. In the end, he managed to sneak a void egg in my inventory. I’m the type of guy who finds satisfaction in obtaining things by himself, I feel that by not going through the regular process, I am missing parts of the game. You won, though, and to honor such victory, I shall keep the sacred egg, fellow traveller. I can’t ramember your username, I think it was something along the lines of “Black Tainted/Painted”, perhaps with a couple of underscores. Thank you, and thank you everybody for making such a community
