I finished the Our Journey Continues expedition in No Man's Sky yesterday. I'm actually glad I pushed through the horribleness that was playing in first person in the early stages as this expedition was such a love letter to the long time player base. It had me all nostalgic, even for things I don't enjoy (no spoilers). It is a walk through the game from release to current time. And hearing Sean Murray himself talking on the communicator at each milestone, talking about the development process was a unique treat. I even got sucked back in to the game itself, as the expedition had us touch on each of the updates and I'd never done the pet battles or the latest update which involves becoming a space station owner. Last night I spent quite a bit of time grinding reputation so I can take over the space station in my favorite base, located in the 256th galaxy, Odyalutai. I have a base in every one of the 256 galaxies but hang out most at the end of the line. No Man's Sky is a delight. The studio is awesome, the devs clearly love their player base. This old harridan is having some fond and mushy feelings about the game on waking today. #Gaming #VideoGames #NoMansSky #HelloGames

Here are some images I took playing recently. I got some nice storm shots on a planet I was doing industrial waste salvage on. Then when I warped back to my resort home, I found my Corvette was floating above me and the hotel (and still was after reloading the game). Finally, a strange smoke stack rising next to a Planetary Archive I went to playing some Arena League. #NoMansSky #HelloGames #gaming

So I've played three matches in Holo-Arena - in the local space station, the Space Anomaly to start the quest-line, and the first Arena League challenger, and it's quite fun for now. Matches seem quite easy, but I'm guessing the opponents will get tougher. #NoMansSky #HelloGames #PS5 #gaming

"They Are Here." A few nights ago I continued with the clean-up mission on a new planet, after the one it sent me to originally seemed too hilly - only to find this one is as bad. It is a dissonant with these anomalous flyers though. #NoMansSky #HelloGames #PS5 #gaming

And since I am here, how about an inside tour? Ha ha.

Okay so...

This is inside of my house... base... whatever okay? You get to see the changes I made through the whole place.

Stuff I am proud of:

• My bug lights. I rly thought I did good with that idea; Vul says it feels "paper lantern" and I agree!

• The expanded kitchen. I opened up the roof and made it feel more open, I am really happy with how it came out.

• The adventurer lounge. I love the planets floating in there, and (eventually) I will make a new tune that suits it.

• The treasure room. OH YISS.

• Mostly all of it. Ha ha ha. I love my house.

Okay so, here are the outside views of my No Man's Sky house (okay, BASE, shut up Steve) after I remodeled, updated, and added a lot of stuffs. I think I did a pretty good job; what do you think?

Notes:

• No mods; I did this all on the PS5.
• Used the resize and recolor tricks a lot
• Trees are actually multiple trees smooshed together using the free placement and resize options; it makes them less generic
• I'm a TSOT (I didn't say the notes were relevant!)

The end. As I said, I ended up enjoying this expedition a lot, and am glad I decided to start and then keep going. After reaching the last processor I had just two tasks left. The Sentinel rearranging one I realised you can do that to the same one again and again, but the one I had struggles with was getting two more toxic containers. Because I went to three separate heaps, and they had none of any special type between them. I eventually found three of them in the open together. I've taken 20 screenshots in total, and I may post more on another day, but here are some sights on the final run. #NoMansSky #HelloGames #PS5 #gaming

I totally forgot about #Twitch Drops over the weekend playing this expedition, but I remembered in time to make sure to get the one I wanted - the Robo-Warden Companion - on today. I didn't do/finish the expedition it was in, so it can go with Laylaps now. #NoMansSky #HelloGames #gaming

After saying I wouldn't play this expedition - and then quit after getting stuck in a cave the first time - I was wrong. It's a great change of pace, and the Colossus refit has given it a purpose. I probably won't do, but I could see myself playing it again after my operation as perfect to take my mind off the recovery. I've also taken an inordinate amount of screenshots with the 'land octopus' in them... 😳 #NoMansSky #HelloGames #gaming

Look, this all looks great for sure. The new stuff will no doubt be fun to play with. As for the expedition, it seems it's more designed for co-operative play, so I may just skip this one as I don't have PS+. And with my operation I'd only have three weeks to finish it anyway. Plus with it being on a sand planet, you already know it's going to have my hated titanworm. https://www.nomanssky.com/remnant-update/ #NoMansSky #HelloGames #gaming
