I've been driving trains, learning how to build a medieval town and killing a bunch of zombies in Bel Air. How about you?

Outer Wilds has completely absorbed me. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the game and am so glad I did!

    Once you finish the standard game and DLC, check out the mods. There have been annual game jams that do add some stories.

    Didn't knew about the mods, that might be a rabbit hole to dig into.

    Quantum space buddies is good if you want to play coop. That's how I played the DLC

    Suitlog allows access to the computer from your suit

    Scout stream makes the scout a video stream instead of a snapshot

    As for story DLC, I've played "the vision" and "The stranger". I liked the stranger much better, but it's nice to have any new content.

    I wish my computer could run this game. On my short list of games I know I'll love.

    I also went into the game blind, but the anxiety inducing loop I did not enjoy at all. I may give it another try some day.

    At first the loop also made me feel like I had to hurry a lot. But the more I played the more I found calm in it. You can get to anywhere pretty quickly, and you find plenty of shortcuts if you look for them. And what you don't have time for in this loop, you have time for in the next. Slow down, enjoy the journey.

    For me it was when I was in another planet, doing some kind of progress, and then boom. When I spent most of my time just getting to, and landing on, the planet, just to get "blipped" again 5 minutes into solving a puzzle, was frustrating.

    And, to me, it seemed like it happened at random. Trying to stay with the "playing blind" idea, I didn't look into the actual timing of the booms. It was a constant dread when I was doing something, thinking it may pop at any time.
