Elite Dangerous! It’s been one of the main reasons, other than work and cat, that I’ve not been on Lemmy as much. Out in deep deep deep deep space doing some exploration runs. It’s like Star Citizen lite but ‘finished’. Massive galaxy that will never be able to be explored. Every star in the milky way is represented, or at least the general number is. Can also be accurately described as space trucker simulator if you’re doing trade runs, rescue runs or passenger runs
I’m not GPU-equipped enough to play it, but it’s on sale 70% off until 7/11. Gonna go ahead and snag that and worry about being able to actually run it later (which is how the admiral populates his Steam library 😆)
It’s also on console if you have a Playstation or Xbox. Granted the console version is much more limited since they split the shared galaxy. Fewer options available for some stuff and less global activity both in playerbase and galaxy news. The game does have a story that is continuously going as well as galactic powers you can pledge yourself to and work for to push their influence. Aliens invading. All kinds of shit. But the story is stagnant on console now and isn’t updating. It’s just a status quo. Aliens aren’t invading as an example. They are out there and you can engage them but on PC they’re actively invading systems and needing a coordinated pushback.
Don’t bother with the console. I got started there and got hooked before I realized that they were going to kill it off. No updates, none of the “where to find it” database stuff works becuase of the split and generally almost no people now.
Just get it on Steam for PC if you are inclined to play. It’s a fun game. I stopped about a year and a half ago (just looked the other day whilst perusing Steam Sale) for many reasons, but I’m sure I’ll be back to visit some day!
I know the cat is the focus of the post, lol, but what game is that?

Sorry. I’m stoned. My knee hurted.
I don’t. The “newest” console I have is XB 360 lol.
The Deluxe edition is now safely in my Steam library, lol, so I’m all set for when I eventually upgrade.
Well, let me be the very first (and hopefully not the last) person to say…
o7 CMDR.
