I preordered NMS back in the day, and like a lot of you, was hugely let down. I hadn’t touched this game since launch, until about two months ago.

And I’ve finally completed my journey!

Well I thought so, at least. Finally taking in the sheer scale of this game, I found that my journey has really only just started.

In the 49 hours it took me to get here, I battled the elements, took to the skies, settled down and gained full financial independence. Even took a solid week IRL just exploring and being a space archeologist. I spent so much of the journey just taking up hobbies and seeing what they led to, getting immersed and lost in the world(s).

And I now feel, staring at the core of our home galaxy, that I’m prepared for whatever the universe could possibly throw at me.

I love this game more than I can put into words.

Thank you Hello Games, for turning me around from the pits of (probably self imposed) disappointment, to a lifelong lover of the adventure you created for us. And also thank you to this sub, it was an absolute goldmine of knowledge and little tips!
