Maybe a bit of a strange question. My friends and I know this guy and he’s basically a stalker.

That’s the long and short of it.

I played around 100 hours of No Man’s sky and they decided to start playing it again and my friends have been looking for another game to play multiplayer with so we all joined and started playing.

Within one day of playing, and me streaming it once, this guy who basically is stalking me and my friends, saw in my stream and immediately showed up while my friend was playing last night and started harassing her, messing with her base, he built a base next to her, and now she wants to leave and go make another base somewhere else and not be found. She told me he was bringing sentinels into her bace, she doesn’t know how to really play super well yet and fight, and he started building around her stuff, trying to chat her up and it was making her uncomfortable. He kept requesting that she go to voice chat and she kept refusing and trying to hint she wasn’t interested. He then friended her in game but she refused to friend him back.. I know all this because she called me in the middle of night on discord complaining about it to me.

Unfortunately this guy used to be my friend so he does know where some of my stuff is but if we all were to move, and go somewhere else, what’s the stop him from following us again and keep trying to build bases near us and harass people?

I don’t think there’s a block feature, I’m just wondering if there’s some ways I could use to avoid him? And at the same time are there things I can do in the game to make him have a very uncomfortable experience anytime he’s around us so that he stops wanting to harass me and my friends?

I don’t know why no man’s sky doesn’t have a block player feature. This guy definitely keeps trying to bring drama in with me and my friends when when he’s gone no one has any problems with one another.

My friends are enjoying this game immensely, and this is a mother and her child and some of her family including now her father might want to play, but now this development has sort of put a dampener on things and I would like everybody to enjoy the game experience as much as possible without this guy mucking everything up, which he definitely will try to do knowing him. Everyone already tried telling him in the past they were not interested in talking to him anymore and even stopped communicating so showing up at my friends base and trying to force an interaction and basically move next store was definitely creepster level.

I didn’t expect the plot of this game to capture my attention as it did, but it touches upon one of my favourite phylosophical topics. This game is very hard of phylosophy of existentialism and Nietzchean nihilism. It quite literally tackless the idea of death of god. But if Nietzche meant it in metaphorical way, on a sense of how one can find meaning in life where there’s no god, but No Man’s Sky takes a more literal approach. God is quite literally dying and you are faced with the idea of your own mortality and finality of the universe. Also, we find out that Altals is an AI that simulates the world, thus mirroring Nietzschean idea of ‘dead god’. We are not some beings created by a divine master with a plan, we are here just because we happened to be here. But in the case of Travellers, they were actually created by a diety with a plan, but their existance in the end is meaningless in a similiar way, because they’re nothing more than simulations in the mind of a dying machine. Here’s where the idea of Nietzschean ‘overhuman’ and nihilism comes in. The core idea of nihilism is belief in no god and the finality of your existance, it’s directed towards accepting the fact that you won’t be here for an eternity and that you should make peace with nothing that may come after. The ‘overhuman’ of Nietzsche is an individual that is capable of setting their own goals and morals, deciding for themselves what they should do with their life in the face of absense of a higher divine purpose. The main question of phylosophy of overhuman is how can one be happy in the world where there’s no higher purpose and no life after death? How one can fight against existential terror that comes with understanding of you own mortality? Even Atlas faces their own finality and are terrified of it. This is the core idea of No Man’s Sky and it is fascinating!
