NMS came out on macOS around the same time I got my M2 Air. Being a huge 65daysofstatic fan, I played it for a bit when it first came out, but I didn't have my own PC, so it was on my wife's, meaning I couldn't play that much.

Anyway, I was stoked to finally be able to play it on my own computer and put hours and hours into it. But the thing I could never really shake is just how lonely it feels. I get that that's part of the point, but after a while it begins to feel really quite oppressive.

  • Honestly I think the loneliness is what really got me into it. Recently I've lost touch with my usual gaming group due to scheduling conflicts and it makes it hard to play a multiplayer game knowing what could have been. Nms feels like it gets that and the whole story basically centers around that feeling. It's kind of cathartic.
