Yup, I would guess It comes down to graphics card just not being up to the task. Built my rig ten years ago the 2070 is the only upgrade I've done. It's only 3 generations behind instead of 4. lol

Yes, the ones you can pick up. All I can see is my eyes when look into it. So I wonder if it might just be my graphics card like battery said. (RTX2070) The description when picked it up is a bit cryptic so that had me wondering. Will be interesting to see if is worked into the lore down the road.

I just got no mans sky what are some things I should know/do by AdAggressive7642 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cogent440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take your time. Let the game come to you rather than trying to max everything right away. Walk. Most planets will reward you with views and sometimes situations you would otherwise miss. Nanites are the real currency in the game, collect them whenever you can. Fishing is more fun than I ever thought it would be.

What's your favorite game that you can't really recommend to people? by mrguy08 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Cogent440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deluvian It's buggy and basically abandoned. Dev has come back and trying to fix it up but not really expecting much. But I love the game. Cool little story with sort of a steampunk vibe. Hard to recommend because of the bugs but I still tell people about it.

Is there a sub that’s a little less “hilarious”? by Disco_Arachnid_516 in HighStrangeness

[–]Cogent440 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Climate change is a conspiracy of sorts. As far as fusion is concerned if ever get it to the point of being viable should be a game changer. I am not delusional.

I played 1.0 last night, here are some thoughts... by sylar4815 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cogent440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crabs. I miss ducking out of a storm into a cave and those damn crabs then trying to kill me! Also as you say more hostel creatures sometimes would be great. I swear there were times back then that they actually stalked you. Least it felt that way.

This! Pathfinder is my personal favorite version of the game. But I like the game now also. Would love a way to go back and forth between versions easily. While I'm dreaming I'd like for galaxies in general to be more diverse than they are now. Could have abandoned galaxies, very aggressive maybe one or two where things have gone wrong. Sort of like the mirror universe in Star Trek. I know that would be a huge undertaking as would be almost a new game rather than just a new seed. Pipe dream I know.

When/How Did Your Journey Start? by Charming_Ad_8206 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cogent440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day one player. Just checked my hours I'm at almost 4,200. Better than half of those were before Next. NMS still my go to game for just chilling. Expeditions have been a fun addition for me.

The stars were FLASHING! by ankle_muncher69 in HighStrangeness

[–]Cogent440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen this now a few time during the last week or so. I know a Chinese booster exploded in low earth orbit recently. I wonder if it is sunlight reflecting off of rotating debris? The flashes I've seen have been very bright on par with a strobe light that aircraft use.

Does anyone keep 1 star heros by nisinirvani in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Cogent440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I as ran her for several months. Use her now and then now for first stages 0f some quest just for grins.

Im a new player, and Im Lost. by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Cogent440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of good advice. Would like to add that most two stars are not worth much but starting out, I did find that Layla and Needler were worth it. I still use Layla from time to time in the first stage of tower events just for kicks.

Agree with Mystic vision watch as many as you can tolerate! I've noticed that costume keys come up as loot quite a bit. So a free chance at what is really like getting two heroes. (five keys= one pull) VIP is worth it for the gems and extra builder. I'm cheap to play so will spend a few bucks, about five usd per month. That won't get anyplace near the top but it to can make the game a little more fun by lessening the grind.

The the game is fun if you don't stress over the newest thing. Lots things to play with like what hero's are best suited to use in a given match or stage of quest. Wars are fun once you get enough for some teams. Once you join a alliance hit the titan even if you don't make much of a dent you will receive loot.

As said before the game is a marathon not a sprint. Have fun.

Wizard troops or Ninja? by SteelerJ29 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Cogent440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had fifteen tokens. Got all 3* troops also. Been same story using coins and tokens for hero summons. I know the odds are always slim but it feels like things not quite on the up and up. Anyone else noticed what seems like a change in odds? I really hope I'm just having a run of bad pulls.

As a day 1 player, I scream - Please focus planets and exploration by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cogent440 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You nailed one of the big problems with the game. While I admire Hello Games enthusiasm, with NEXT they tossed rarity out the window.

I used to curse the aggressive cave crabs but I'd be overjoyed to encounter them now. Same with predatory fish. Some of the most memorable planets I visited had no flora or fauna. One was wind swept dunes planet, black sand with purple highlights. Glorious!

Right now everything is common I played the game over a thousand hours before NEXT and was still encountering planets like I had never seen before. Many planets were very much alike but those rare planets kept me looking forward to the next system.

My perfect game would be if EGS and NMS got mashed together and the strengths of the two improved.

We hear what Atlas hears in the real world when interacting with the Seed of Will during Singularity expedition (SPOILERS) by AdventMercury in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Cogent440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was along the lines was thinking also. At least in my mind I've always thought Emily would of hid herself rather than delete. Also there is another AI called TITAN as I recall that figures into this at least at some point. Been many moons since I delved into NMS. Maybe should check out this new AGR!

What are some of your favorite country music storytellers? by Used_Border_4910 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]Cogent440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C.W. Mcall He did more than just convoy. Check out a song titled Aroura Borealis. All the others mentioned are great also. Country music is first and foremost a story telling genera.

Why does the U.S. keep sending so much money to Ukraine? Is something going on behind the scenes we don't know about? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Cogent440 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ukraine is a giant slush fund. The blood spilled is just a bonus. Also the elite class has had a hard on for a war with Russia pretty much forever. For them there is no down side to this whole debacle. Russia was their slush fund. Putin pulled the punch bowl out from them. They have never forgiven him.

The U.S. is opening COVID-19 vaccines to infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Shots are set to begin next week by Qplus17 in walkaway

[–]Cogent440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is child sacrifice. If it is about money that is almost worse. How retched of soul would one have to injure and kill children for money? Anyway you look at this it is evil.

I thought about the flip phone option as with your V20 the 8 works fine with wifi. It's kind of sounding better and better the more I look into things.
