Hi everyone. I am brand new to the world of No Man’s Sky. Y’all got any advice for first timers? My console of choice is Switch 2.

I’ve been considering getting No Man’s Sky. It looks like a cool game to hop in for a while, stop then periodically come back to. I want to get the Switch 2 version particularly because I’ve let my online subscriptions for the PS run out when it doubled the cost last year without doubling its value and I’ve never cared about Game Pass. How have you guys enjoyed No Man’s Sky?

I’m a huge fan of Stephen Fry’s narration and think I’ve made my choice to get his Odessey from his Mythos series but wanted some feedback to see if Claire Danes version was good before I make my choice in the sale going on right now.

I was wondering for you guys with the news of Sony going all digital with their games in 2028 does that matter to you? I’ll buy a digital game on sale or or if it’s a game like No Man’s Sky which is better suited for digital but sometimes physical has better sales like I just grabbed Red Dead 1 on 360 and popped it into my Series X and ran fine. What are your thoughts on all digital?

This year I listened to Project Hail Mary. I was blown away by the book, the narration, and the movie. This story cooked on all burners. I went back to The Martian. I’m barely an hour into the book and it’s already super good. I remember seeing the movie 10 years ago. Haven’t finished the book yet but Will Wheaton’s narration and Andy Weir’s humor are just too notch. Crazy how just 2 books (not even) makes you into a super fan.

I typically have a main game that’s story based (right now GTA4 in Oreos for GTA6) then I have a couple “mindless” secondary games for a shakeup from my primary like Lumines or Splatoon 3 on Switch. Have you found focusing on fewer games allows for deeper enjoyment or does multitasking work better for you?

Just because a game is well loved, doesn’t necessarily mean YOU will love it. I personally do not care about Elden Ring of Baldur’s Gate 3. Lately I’ve been playing older games. Have you guys ever fed a list of your favorite games or the ones you’ve finished multiple times to Claude or Chat and asked it to recommend you games? Recently I have been trying to figure out if Triangle Strategy is worth the pickup. I hear it’s great. I THOUGHT I’d be into Octopath Traveller but I get stuck on bosses and have given up on it. So I was nervous about Triangle Strategy. I love the heck out of the GBA Fire Emblem and Clause said given that, there are difficulty setting that make TS accessible so I would be good to go. Have you ever tried this with games you are interested in?

I gotta say when I first bought this game it wasn’t for me. Didn’t want to take the time to get good. Will say now that I’ve sunk a few hours in and play with the silver rapid fire splatter I’ve found my groove. This game is seriously fun!
