The Artemis Irony is not Lost on Me
After the arduous decision of what to do with Artemis, let them die or insert into a single system simulation where they cannot travel, I find myself…in a very similar situation. DAMN YOU NMS! I’ve been powering through, made my way through Euclid and stories (though I still have a lot of missions to undertake and conclude). However, I have reached a point in my gameplay experience, where I have largely been ignoring bases, planetary exploration, etc. I don’t even have an exocraft yet. And now I find myself, after traveling for so long, at a point that I actually long for a singular undiscovered system to call my own, to create a home. To craft my own little “Slice of Life”. After some initial research, I’ve settled on the Isdoraijung galaxy, for lushness and likely fewer players, therefore more systems to discover. Found a featured base at the Anomaly Portal that was in that galaxy and warped on over. And thus my search began. Ideally, I’m after a 6 planet/moon peaceful or gentle system with a paradise, exotic, or viridescent planet to situate myself at home. And begin to experience some of the other things NMS has to offer.
And all this, now makes me just regret my decision to let Artemis die. After contemplating the decision for so long, thinking it is not what they would want, to be unable to travel, to traverse the stars, I find myself in a situation, where, as a traveler, that is exactly what I now want. A place to call my own. To settle down, and to explore what a planet and a single system have to offer, while building, expanding, and making it my own. I let Artemis die because I did not think they would want this, I did not want this at the time of the decision. And now here I am, and this is exactly what I want. (Albeit, some differences in that I’ll still be able to travel the stars as needed to create my own little existence in this simulation) But the irony, and now, the second wave of guilt for that fateful decision…as I traverse the universe, in search of that singular system that I can start to call home…
