You ever get, like, 50+ hours into a game and realize you accidentally skipped most of the tutorial?

Yeah, I made it as far as the Anomaly in the Artemis quest line for No Man’s Sky, then went, “Meh - I don’t want to do plot. I’m going to go explore random planets and space stations instead.” So I ran off and system hopped and took dozens of guild quests and started my own fleet. And now I’m coming back to the Artemis quest line (because I wouldn’t mind a little plot direction now), and the game is like, “Let me explain learning alien languages and faction standings,” when I’m maxed out on my language milestones, I’ve achieved exalted rank with the merchant’s guild, and my reputation with the Gek and Vy’keen is as high as it can go.

…oops.

The Korvax entity I had to talk to for the quest line was like, “Go away - I’m not talking to you until you improve your reputation with my people!” And I just stared at them, because I unlocked the title of “Savior” with the Korvax hours ago.

During my trip into the Anomaly today, I came back to another player sitting on top of my ship. I waved at them because, hey! That’s my ship - what are you doing up there? They hopped off, so I jumped up to sit on the roof of my ship. Then the other player hopped up onto the ship across from mine, sat down facing me, and we just shared a quiet moment.

Since there’s no chat outside emotes, sitting down together and sharing silence seems to be a popular pastime among players in the Anomaly. It was… strangely nice to share this space of quiet contemplation with a total stranger.

I didn’t stay too long (because the ADHD is strong with this one), but I transferred some bread to my fellow Traveler and used the “thank you” emote at them at them before I left. (If there’s a “goodbye” emote, I haven’t unlocked it, yet.)

I have no idea who you are, abstractn, but you made my evening. I hope you enjoyed the company and the random bread.

#where’d i park that spaceship? #I’m a gifter by nature #so just being able to run into the anomaly and through resources at other players makes me happy #brain chemicals go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr #this was such a nice moment #thank you again abstractn wherever you are #no man's sky #screenshots

I was trying to get a screenshot on my freighter, and it ended up being the dramatic opening scene of a space opera.

Could you please move, Walnut? It’s very hard to dig up buried technology when you’re standing in the middle of the excavation site.

Sometimes you just have to sit down and contemplate the vastness of space and the excellent lighting choices of the local space station.

I had no eggs today, so when I went into the Anomaly, I found a player who still had the starter ship and transferred ten panes of glass (a crafting item) to them. Then a totally different player slipped pulse engine fuel into my backpack!

I didn’t even see them! ‘Twas brilliant! This might be my new favorite thing to do in this game.

I have decided to be the chaos I want to see in the world.

My fiancé and I discovered that when you’re in the Anomaly/Nexus of No Man’s Sky (aka the online multiplayer area) you can transfer items to any other player who happens to be close enough even if you aren’t partied up with them. You can also get your pets to lay eggs. So now I’m running around the Anomaly playing Easter Bunny and hiding adorable critter eggs in other people’s backpacks.

Why? Because right now someone out there is looking at their inventory and going, “Where the fuck did this egg come from?!” And that makes me happy.

#it made my evening #where’d i park that spaceship? #no man's sky

I’m a little worried about my freighter crew.

You, um… you okay there, buddy?

Yeah? Okay, then. Carry on.

#where’d i park that spaceship? #oh game - you so janky #the gek are my favorite #no man's sky #screenshots #game glitch

[fullbattleregalia]

This is Glitch, who hasn’t quite decided whether to be a dragon or a moth but is going to be damn fancy about it in the meantime.

Glitch used to be named “Luna” until they somehow accidentally turned into an entire-screen strobe effect for a good five seconds and messed up my audio so badly that I had to shutdown the game completely and reboot. (NMS is kinda janky at times but in bizarrely humorous and endearing way.) After that, the name Luna was deemed too dignified for them.

This is my new child, Walnut.

Walnut is 70% legs, 20% tails, 10% head and 0% arms. Their favorite thing to do is to skitter off to “scout ahead” and disappear into any knee-high foliage. Walnut also believes that the mission agent should be their friend and feed them snacks.

I disagree, but Walnut doesn’t believe in the words “no” or “down.”

Walnut does believe the power of puppy dog eyes, though.

I missed out giving you actual boops on the 1st so have this sentiment: Enough boops to help Kakashi knead biscuits.

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

#I had been booped! #well and proper boop! #❤️❤️❤️

Aaaaaaaaand it turns out there’s a customized pithy quote for every type of death.

This time gravity got me on a planet that was basically all obnoxiously steep mountains while I was trying to get back to my ship.

Died for the first time in No Man’s Sky today. Got eaten by a tentacle monster. And then the game quoted Lovecraft at me.

@greentrickster told me that’s what I got for wearing my Cthulhu shirt today. 🤣

Our quest to be the galaxy’s ultimate chaos power couple continues. I accidentally became the captain of a freighter while playing Amazon delivery driver for the merchants’ guild. My fiancé nearly jumpstarted his villain arc when a trade ship decided to fly between him and the asteroids he was mining.

I’m also really enjoying being the tall one for once. Ha! Who can reach the top shelf now?!

(…Both of us. We have jet packs. Everyone can reach the top shelf.)

In the continuing adventures of Psuedo-Mando and Chaos Chameleon, I keep getting distracted from what I’m doing any time there’s a Knowledge Stone within ten miles of my location and also jumped by pirates. My fiancé, on the other hand, keeps getting chased by sentinels for robbing various buildings and is very annoyed that the pirates aren’t jumping him, because they drop good loot.

I also parked my spaceship on a floating rock, jumped off it, and realized far too late that my thrusters didn’t have enough fuel to recall my ship to my current location. And the floating rock was higher than my jet pack could fly. At least I had some nice scenery to look at while I panicked.

Living my best life as a Mandalorian linguist.

At this point, I know just enough Vy’keen to tell that I’m probably being insulted.

#where’d i park that spaceship? #no man's sky #searching for knowledge stones is my favorite thing right now

[fullbattleregalia]

My fiancé and I started playing No Man’s Sky together tonight. I, naturally, had to do all the loving fiancée things, like dancing on the nose of his spaceship and shooting him in the back with my mining laser to see what would happen.

He named the new planet he found “This Land.” I named our base on This Land “Your Grave.”

🦕🦖 That’s how you can tell it’s love.
