Two days ago, I started playing No Man’s Sky again. It’s my first time since early March.
For most of you, this would be no big deal. For me, it’s a significant milestone. For months now, I have had neither the energy, nor the enthusiasm, nor the concentration, for games. Now it seems the Mojo is returning.
Great to hear from you Polyphemus and great to see you reached this milestone. I’m excited for you to see all that’s been added during your time in recovery and I hope the Worlds update was kind to your base planets <3
Had you been keeping up with the updates at all while out of the game or did you return with the bliss of ignorance?
Pretty much, yes. I’ve been so washed out and tired I really haven’t felt able to keep up with anything other than day-to-day necessities. So I’ve missed the last few expeditions, and there’s a lot that’s new and confusing.
Still, it makes things interesting and a bit challenging.
Welcome back! Great timing too! The water is so beautiful and calming. Find yourself a calm weather planet with beaches and dip your toes in.
Welcome back! There’s lots to see so take your time easing your way back into the game.
“C’mon in, the water’s fine!”
All these comments about how inviting the water is seem kind of concerning given NMS lore… 
Exactly! I just keep staring at the water. People everywhere are building bases on the water. You can even land your ship on the water. Water. Water. Must…get in…the water…
Poly must think we’ve all been compromised by the world of glass. There’s enough Koolaid for everyone!
Yeah. (I wish we had a good term for a body of liquid that is not H2O).
I can’t work out whether that’s a reference to Ken Keysey or Jim Jones. One would be risky but amusing, the other would just be terrifying.
It’s both. And when you drink it you are granted visions of Ken Jones, the actor. None of this sounds appealing I know… Unless you were really into Porridge
