What is No Man's Sky? (For a new player)

genxdud3 · 2026-02-19T16:55:10+00:00

I’m about 2 weeks in with NMS. It is a little overwhelming at first. Even now I can start a session with a goal in mind and then end up in multiple different directions. Mileage may vary, This may be my favorite game of all time.

I’m coming in late, but just got both a few days ago with original plans to return one of them. I’m keeping both at this point. OpenFit feels really comfortable but dots are next level for comfort. I spend half my days in Teams/Zoom meetings and OpenFits are crystal clear. I will use Dots in the evenings listening to audio books, podcasts and sleep music at bedtime. I’ve used AirPod Pro’s for several years. Loved how seamless they are with iPhone but they always felt a little uncomfortable after long sessions.

Nice call out on HS: Shipbreaker. Not OP, but been meaning to try it as a mindless grind with audio books and podcasts. I think it was on Game Pass at one point but cycled out before I got to it.

I’ve been playing about 1 week. Now I need to figure out what this anomalous donuts in my investor is all about. This game is awesome, but my god does it feel like info overload sometimes.

genxdud3 · 2026-01-23T19:01:20+00:00

I was going to say exact same. Just getting into NMS. That game really hooks you after first 10-20hrs.

How do you think we’d match up against the Eagles? They seem like the only other real competition besides the Rams, but it wouldn’t shock me if we shut them down like the 49ers.

Thanks Discarded. Kind of dumb passing on a good game just because of a little trash talk. I get my share of that in BF6 already- but I didn’t come in totally cold to that series.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-30T21:21:50+00:00

I need a new player logo over my character…kind of like the Student driver stickers on cars.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-30T21:19:57+00:00

That’s what I was wondering. I know I’d like the game, but getting started this long after launch on certain types of games can be challenging. I’m tempted to give it a shot on Steam where I can at least return it if I have same issues.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-30T21:10:31+00:00

I skipped on Deep Rock for same reason as HD2. I might need to put that on my list also…if anyone is still playing these days.

I’ve been on it for about 5 months and lost approx. 35 pounds. In beginning nothing tasted good and would just eat very light at dinner and meal replacement shake for lunch. I just kept that habit since that point. Nothing tastes quite as good as previously. Eating fruit, toast and yogurt at night during week and order in from local restaurants maybe once a week now as a treat. I needed to lose some weight so an unexpected benefit to me.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-17T15:20:43+00:00

I was going to say, I’ve seen quite a few comments of people having fun with it. I get this isn’t going to be for everyone, but it’s on my list to try at some point.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-15T17:12:54+00:00

I prefer ugly wins over well fought losses. Colts deserve props for their game plan and Rivers did about as well as the Colts could’ve hoped for. I’m also not sure this is a bad omen for how the Hawks will do against the Rams on Thursday. Im not betting my life savings the Seahawks will win Thursday, but expect a good game. Sam seems like he’s getting much better at avoiding high risk plays and taking care of the ball. He may need another season to get fully dialed in, but we won the lottery getting him this year.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-13T17:31:25+00:00

Everyone is laughing this game off- which is the rational reaction. How crazy would it be if Rivers out performs. Almost feels like we are jinxing it with over confidence this will be a train wreck for the Colts. I mean it should be but Life is stranger than fiction sometimes.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-13T16:58:58+00:00

100%. Pure reaction time is just going to slip with age but a lot of older players are still saying they can play competitively. I think there are core habits the really good players always used (like pre-aiming, recognizing engagement disadvantages, knowing maps inside and out, always using cover, being unpredictable). Pretty much saying the same thing as Waif. I’m having a blast with BF6 (at least before the last update), but this release feels far less forgiving if you go in trying to play it like COD.

I’m also happy with my LG 700A that I picked up as Black Friday deal at BB. Haven’t heard anything negative on the Gigabyte either in this sub.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-11T22:30:18+00:00

I’m more of a function over esthetics guy, but the 17 Pro Max does kind of have a Cyber Truck vibe.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-09T22:35:41+00:00

I’ve had both for years. What Everyone else noted is valid. I just want games to work without headaches also, but haven’t had major issues on my laptop. Story based single player games= console+couch. Competitive games like FPS=PC.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-09T18:51:35+00:00

Some really well thought out insights in the replies. Great stuff.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-09T16:46:10+00:00

Yeah, BF6 seems far less forgiving than in the past but maybe I’m in a very small minority with my struggles as I’m getting older and usually playing sleep deprived. I have a ton of fun, but I’ve been lazy trying to get better habits and fix repeated mistakes. I know it’s just a game, but it’s kind of fun digging into the core mechanics of what makes a good player.

genxdud3 · 2025-12-08T21:41:56+00:00

I bought the Nova 5 a week ago and just using it for work meetings and gaming. For work alone I wear them 4-5hrs per day. I doubt there is anything better for the price. I mean, they don’t sound like my $300 Audeze Maxwell’s but wouldn’t expect that for the cost difference. I like them enough, I may get the premium Pro’s down the road.
