Don’t worry, they’ll be releasing the expansion soon. The factory must grow.

It’s no big deal. You just play until you realize you made some critical mistake at the beginning, and decide to just yeet a 140 hour campaign so you can fix the problem on the next go around…

I’m okay… I swear…help

I’m playing Fallout New Vegas properly for the first time. Started not too long after Starfield released and I’ve been really enjoying myself

Excellent choice! I wish I could experience FNV for the first time all over again, it’s so good. Got any idea which factions you want to align with?

So I already got the chip to Mr House. I put up with NCR I suppose. But I do enjoy the Boomers

Sadly the boomers are a minor faction, but if they did have an ending, it would be entertaining.

Been on parental leave, for a couple of days. I hooked up the PC to the living room TV and I’ve been casually playing No Man’s Sky. It’s utterly cathartic to fly around space with a 5 day old sleeping, his chest on my belly.

Thanks! It’s my second, the other is 6yo now. It brings me back to my first parental leave - I played through The Witcher III with my first sleeping on my belly in a similar manner haha

Congratulations to you and the mom!

Nice! How do you like No Man’s Sky? I’ve heard it’s much better now than when it was released

Can’t speak for your interests obviously, but good enough for me spending a good chunk of 10h on it in the last 2 days. I’m a huge space nerd though, so the interstellar travel alone is worth it for me. The storyline is mostly a pretense for exploring, trade, mining stuff, which I don’t mind at all given how pretty it can be. I also really like playing alone lol. I don’t know how long it’ll stick, but it’s scratching an itch for the time being!

It lost its appeal for me… Every world is similar, or was when I was playing. There was no point exploring.

Same minerals everywhere, so no point going looking for something interesting either.

I guess I was hoping it would be more of a “explore and find really rare things, trade them with others at high prices” kind of a thing.

Really wished this got a sequel. Awesome take on the universe and I miss squad based single player games like that.
