I am IN LOVE with the low-orbit frigates flying over top of me. It never ceases to stop me in my tracks and jumping into my ship and flying next to one just makes me happy. It makes me feel like there’s an actual “world” going on around me, like the game is more “alive”. That addition brings me back to when the visuals for weather changed to being able to see a storm growing over us as we hear the “Warning: Incoming storm” and the first time I saw clouds building up I just stopped and watched it happen.

So. What other relativley small changes could Hello Games add to make our beloved space sim feel more Alive?

I’ll try to keep this short, but last week, my cat got really sick, really quickly and unexpectedly. We took him to the vet, and found out he had the cat version of diverticulitis (I can’t remember what it was called)

We were not ready to let him go, he was a wonderful cat, but I was being selfish with that type of thinking. He was in so much pain, and already had to be so strong and brave, I couldn’t ask him to suffer anymore. We decided to help him pass on.

It made me think of the Artemis choice, whether to force them to live or let them die.

My next playthrough, I’m gonna let them go.

I love you all, thanks for reading.
