Today’s game is No Man’s Sky (Also the first repeat game). This is my Ship that is stuck on fire. No clue why. It was damaged, and after I repaired it the fire wouldn’t go out. It works fine and all systems are operating perfectly. So I guess I just have a ship that’s on fire now

I have a ship that is also perma on fire.

I also somehow managed to get a ship externally normal and internally an alien ship. Unsure how, but it was just after the custom ship update (I didn’t customise the ship, it just spawned like it)

It’s really cool. I hope my ship never gets fixed because it’s cool having a Ship that’s 24/7 on fire. it’s been about a year but I think mine happened after it crashed. I fixed all the rusted parts and damaged systems. And now it’s just stuck like this

NMS is a buggy mess, got it.

a single bug from a new update? guess you never play bethesda games

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And yeah, i avoid AAA and cloud games.

Congrats on being the new ghost rider

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I just need to figure out where earth went and I can get to work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I mean, Cosmic Ghost Rider is also a thing. Although he's actually the Punisher with the power of the Ghost Rider and also the power of a herald of Galactus.

You have an unusual burning flames ship :O

Hey, good job getting to day 11. This has been fun!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are playing so many games at once. Are you finishing some of the ones you've posted or are you playing a different game every day, except for the occassional duplicate game?

I can barely handle playing the 3 games I'm currently playing, I feel like I'm never gonna finish them. I commend you for your streak.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I have a Steam collection of about 30 games of “games I’m currently playing” that I go through depending on what kind of mood I’m in. I try to avoid starting anything new personally until I get the list down to 29 (exceptions made for multiplayer games)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did you made a deal with Death?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I had to find the new floating islands somehow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I wish I could get into no man's sky but it just bores me. Similar to everyone else who don't like it, I quickly got tired of everything being so similar everywhere. But I guess it's good for people who like seeing random animals.

NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren't going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.

Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.

I have over 1k hours in NMS, and I totally agree. Also, planets need more biomes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It could totally use new biomes. I have some genuinely cool ones. But for every cool one there is another 10 that is just “Rocky with Odd Trees and some sort of environmental hazard”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

More biomes don't fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.

Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn't get tiring.

I think part of it is that it’s very easy for me to get immersed in the game. Like right now I’m playing as a merchant with my cargo ship I bought. Which is fun to roleplaying, especially when I have friends playing with me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Man i should really try out this game. I think it has everything i want fron a game, but i just sits there...waiting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

When it first came out, I pretty much hated it, but I came back to it a couple years ago and had fun. Even though I didn‘t interact much with the basebuilding aspect, the exploration, story, and combat were fun enough for 60ish hours. I think it positively surprises nowadays.
