I don’t know why I feel the need to share this, I’m just in a weird head space today I guess.

Just wanted to say Thank You to Hello Games for this wonderful game and universe. Discovering new planets and systems is the coolest shit especially when you come across one already discovered and named by someone else, despite the odds in this gigantic universe.

This game has helped me so much with closure for ones I have lost. The past few years have taken a lot from me, I’ve always struggled with coping with losing someone. But NMS gave me an outlet and allowed me to find somewhere beautiful that I can name in honor of lost loved ones. I always look for a new Paradise planet with lots of life. Just somewhere nice.

I don’t know why I spend hours looking for the right planet and leave them forever after naming it. Maybe just to make myself feel better, maybe to leave some form of them, maybe another traveller will stumble across the system and think about them. Either way it helps me. I just think about them still existing in some form out there and it makes me happy.

They’ve probably been wiped in some update by now or something and that’s okay. Nothing is forever.

I have named two systems in honor of two friends who left us prematurely, i hope someone came across their systems because they were both such incredibly nice people.

My dog passed away unexpectedly this summer and it hit me hard. I was in the middle of a NMS spout and idk i must of spent an hour or two alone just looking for the perfect planet and i eventually found it. A green paradise planet with lots of animals and beautiful water. The kind you would find and say “oh yeah this is my next base”.

I haven’t been able to get back on since. My character is still on that planet and I’m honestly scared to go back on. I will eventually but idk.

Anyway sorry for the rant.

Dont feel like posting this now that I’ve written it all out haha

If by the very off chance you come across a system named Devyn, Vince, or Toby I hope it helps you on your journey.
