No Man's Sky ~ Adrift upon an Expedition
@thegoliath is making me write a post, as I have been incredibly slack over the past year so far and have barely written a thing at all. What better way than to write a little something about No Man's Sky, especially since a new Expedition has recently released!
I've never really touched the No Man's Sky Expeditions before. I always hop in when a new expansion is released, but I've always ignored the expeditions... not this time. This time I was intrigued enough to have a looksie and join in.
Awakening upon a dead world, bereft of plantlife and inhabited only by giant worms, I set forth to find my space ship, repair it, and stay alive while doing so.
Thankfully there are rocks with minute traces of oxygen in them and so that's how I keep the life-support running. Through the kindness of rocks.
Mining rocks and staring in awe at the constant ground-shuddering appearance of the space-worms... I suddenly hear Discord bing and realise that someone has joined my party. It's none other than TheGoliath himself.
I notice that my speaker icon is beside my name, screaming at me that I'm transmitting. My partner's yelling at Apex Legends, my son is harrassing our pet cats and demanding copious food for a dinner I'm not yet ready to cook, I'm slightly insane... and most definitely not interested in voice chatting.
Welcome to the madhouse, TheGoliath. Welcome to the madhouse.
He leaves just as I figure out how to turn off my mic in the settings. Buggers me why the developers didn't put the microphone settings in AUDIO like normal people, but it is what it is.
Sorry, buddy. XD
He missed out on hearing my squeal of terror as a hundred odd giant space-worms descended upon me. Woe.
Somehow, I outrun these creatures and survive.
Scanning my surroundings, I descend down into the depths of the underworld and discover the few remains of plantlife that exist on this otherwise barren planet. They're as hazardous as my unattended open mic. I take care of them before they can take care of me. They harbour precious oxygen. Delicious oxygen. Life-giving oxygen.
No giant space-worms descend upon me whilst I cave-dive, at least, so I take the time to investigate my inventory and multi-tool and see what needs to be done. I have enough resources to upgrade my mining laser to an advanced mining laser, which allows me to learn how to make my own personal refiner, thanks to the Expedition Milestones!
I also kill a few more plants, which allows me a milestone that gives me more starship inventory space. WOO!
I'm actually finding this Expedition quite fun, which surprises me. I tried playing No Man's Sky just a month or so ago and I couldn't get into it... but this Expedition definitely is a unique way to play.
It's rather spiffy having the No Man's Sky gameplay and universe while having proper objectives and whatnot to complete. Not just a pure sandbox experience with strange Atlas story woven within it. It's pretty cool.
I'm definitely going to keep playing this 😁 it should keep my attention well enough whilst I wait for other things. Like the next Destiny 2 expansion! 😆
Let's see what the future milestones will hold! 😁
Until next time! 🎮🔫🔥
I actually thought you left because it had gone silent on your end, maybe the connection just dropped or we were booted to separate lobbies. 😂
But I am glad you are enjoying the expedition so far and I am as well, curious to see just what else is out there, beyond this planet and I have never done an expedition either!
The game probably couldn't handle the noise either. XD
It's definitely interesting! Looking forward to getting all these milestones done and getting some goodies.
Had enough noise from the worms alone. XD
Just got to remember 2 months to get them done, should be fine though just smash it out and get them done!

Quick question? This game is free to play on Xbox game pass right?
Also did you just start with this series? I've been meaning to try it out for quite sometime now but I just keep forgetting about it!
I'm not sure - it might be! I bought it yeeeears ago on release, so not sure if it's on Game Pass.
I've played it before. :) This is my first time trying out one of the game's expeditions though.
It is on Game Pass!!!! FUCK YEAH!!! Time to gather some stuff on distant rocks!! 🤣🤣🤣
It has a lot to the main game now as well, they keep bringing out big updates and it is well worth playing!
Definitely check if it's on Game Pass and if so, play it. Once you get used to what you are doing it sees you exploring and trying different things and if you happen to have VR, well the game is quite good and fun in VR. 😁
Noooooo ohhh nooo the only VR I will get is RR (Real Reality!) Laughs, I will definitely be giving it a shot.
I saw the game many moons ago but back then I kind of lost the gaming vibe, seeing it now again well it makes me think. I mean who doesn't love a good exploration and adventure!
I see that you also had the opportunity to acquire this incredible video game, it looks very fun, I have seen other brothers play it and it has incredible graphics.
Oh, it is! It's a beautiful game!!
This seem like out of the planet gaming world. Aliens on the sky its nice
Hi, @kaelci, lovely to read from you!
I bought this game recently too but I am too afraid to start the expedition right now. I need to learn a lot of things and I am having fun exploring new planets and traveling to new system.
Your planets look tough, very barren. Good luck
Ohhh yes. I definitely wouldn't recommend the expedition unless you're a little more experienced in the game! :) I haven't played for ages and I forgot a few things and ended up having to google basics, haha!!
That first world in the expedition is very barren and it really is a fair effort getting yourself sorted so you can start exploring the galaxy. I'm coming across some much nicer planets now!!! :D
Hope you're enjoying the game!
