No Man's Sky

Retreat! Retreat! Is a fantastic piece of music.

They're excellent live, well worth checking out if you get the chance.

There's a few websites out there who will put whatever you want onto a poster. And some sites which do the aluminum posters, and those NMS ones would look amazing on them I reckon.

Its out now :)

I wonder is HG ever going to stop with NMS updates... Might have to install this again to see what it's like with the new update (again!).

Have the ever solved the ridiculous texture pop in problems? I run it on full graphics and when it's loaded, it's nice looking but pop in is horrendous.

It's a bit all over the place, but (on computer) click on your profile in the top right, then click your username to get to you profile page. Scroll down and you'll see all the threads you've "bookmarked" (previously followed). Untick the ones that you don't want updates on (the change basically reset the last notification time, so you got them all again). Then, if you want to follow a thread, up the top right is the little bookmark icon. I unbookmarked loads, because boards now automatically bookmarks threads once you reply.

Feck it, decided to bite the bullet and get it on PSN, currently on sale for 25, but I keep getting an error. Bank said they can't see any request coming through from PS and PS say they don't know. Maybe it's a sign to not get the game :)

Was watching a playthrough from 2021 but it was a permadeath run and he was avoiding his starting ship for some reason so didn't watch much but it definitely has me interested.

Yeah, don't be expecting the tight perfection that comes from Subnautica, but very few games will give you the same scale, and I thoroughly enjoyed the multiple "play throughs" (I never "finished" the game, just the black orb story). It did give me just as many wow moments as Subnautica did, and some of the planets are genuinely interesting or bleak. It's a total relaxing game, with no real push towards an end, which is why Subnautica is better overall, but NMS is its own thing too. I think you'll get your monies worth out of it at the very least. And I haven't played since Beyond either, but still think it was worth the launch price I paid.

I think you can customize your character at space stations

Yeah, if I was you Zero, I'd spend a bit of time flying around exploring and not settling too early. You'll nearly always find a better planet, but at least go for one that doesn't try to kill you every few in game hours! But explore first and upgrade your ship, I was verrrrry lucky in finding a crashed fighter that was B class and had more storage than most other ships! Once you upgrade to the third hyperjump (the one for going between star systems), that's when I started to settle.
