After the first session of playing No Man’s Sky on stream, I had a lot of fun and decided it was worth doing again. In the second episode, I did a lot more digging for supplies, building bases, and even headed out to a space station in this area. Unfortunately, the developers released an update the day I played on stream the second time. For whatever reason, it did not impact me until I started doing some space flights. When I started traveling between planets and things, the controller core functions blew up and caused many issues where I couldn’t land; I couldn’t travel beyond the worlds I was in, etc.

Thankfully, I opened a support ticket after the stream, and that helped me control things well enough to finally land my ship on my home planet and do some mining and building. For the majority of this stream, you guys will see fun stuff, but right near the end when the issues started happening, I decided to end the stream early. Here is the video if you want to watch the second episode:

I put a post across my socials for what game I should play on the stream next, and the overwhelming results favored the space-exploring game – No Man’s Sky. The game is beautifully rendered, wherein when you start a new game, an entire universe is generated from over 10 Quadrillion potential combinations of plants, animals, biomes, etc. Once you start, it will feel like a mix of Minecraft (collecting items, refining them, building new things from ingredients, etc.) and a Star Wars or Space Opera kind of game (fighting space pirates, delivering cargo, trying to understand the reason for the universe, etc.).

On this stream, my buddy Starnum joined me via chat, and he and I began creating random names for the plants, animals, and planets. The game works once you start the game and you find an animal, plant, planet, etc. you can rename these things with whatever name you want. It will be updated on the master records for the game, so if someone finds your area of the universe (very difficult unless you get close to the center of the universe), they will see the names of these planets and creatures.
