No Mans Sky Archives – Time to Loot

September had the same number of days in it as any other month. More or less. But to me, it feels a lifetime ago. I barely remember the beginning of the month or writing the last journal at the end of the last. We’ve been in a stay-at-home...

A Blaugust Diversion

by Naithin | Sep 2, 2021 | No Man's Sky, Other Games | 2

Oh boy, it’s all happening right now. I rather intentionally inserted a day’s gap between the end of the posting challenge of Blaugust and this, the next post, to give myself a bit of a break. But now I regret it! I regret everything!...

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2021

by Naithin | Aug 31, 2021 | Journal | 2

Blaugust hasn’t quite come to a close, but the challenge component of it has. For those who either love to write like Bhagpuss or who appreciate looking back at a completed challenge in the rearview like I do, the ‘requirement’ (I...

Scattered to the Wind

by Naithin | Aug 22, 2021 | Gaming, Other Games | 4

Not too long ago, I mentioned that the plans I had been setting for myself, slowly adding layer upon layer, had started to chafe somewhat. It appears to have gone beyond that now and into a fully open flood-gate mode where everything sounds like a...

Sand Worms Are All the Rage at the Moment

by Naithin | Sep 24, 2020 | No Man's Sky | 0

First the Dune trailer. Now in a No Man’s Sky update: Origins. I heard that the Origins update was coming last week, but Hello Games were still being rather tight-lipped on what exactly it would entail. I was not entirely clear on whether it...

Time to Loot Journal: July 2020

by Naithin | Aug 1, 2020 | Cities: Skylines, Civilisation, Journal, No Man's Sky, Other Games | 0

July is over. August is here! Normally — it would be the time of Blaugust. And it still is, in a manner of speaking, but we also did classic Blaugust earlier in the year as Blapril. So rather than a repeat, Blaugust this year is a...

Eclectic Gaming Days Continued

by Naithin | Jul 22, 2020 | Gaming, No Man's Sky, Other Games | 4

Look who’s back! Back again! Back from outta space! Wait- no, mixing my songs there. In any case — I survived the holiday. I might even go so far as to say I had some fun. It was nice to get away for a while even if only a short one. It...

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2019

by Naithin | Aug 31, 2019 | Journal, Lost Ark, No Man's Sky, Other Games, Warframe, WoW | 4

Wowser, eh? What. A. Ride. August was a month that started with hype halfway through July. The mission: Post every day throughout the month of August (or as near to as you can manage). I have no doubt Belghast will do a round-up when the timezones...

No Man’s Sky Added

by Naithin | Aug 22, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Ark, No Man's Sky | 3

My gaming preferences are mysterious and ever shifting. Like a leaf upon the wind, one can never be too sure where they may land. … Which is to say, I’m very fickle and typically struggle to settle into any one title for any reasonable...

It’s a Bit of a Fixer-Upper

by Naithin | Aug 19, 2019 | No Man's Sky | 4

Before the Beyond update, the last time I played No Man’s Sky was at launch. Back then finding a spaceship wreck on another planet was a fairly common occurrence. But also an experience lacking any kind of excitement. They were always the...

Hello Games

by Naithin | Aug 18, 2019 | No Man's Sky | 2

So begins Week Three of Blaugust 2019. Developer Appreciation week. The title isn’t giving greeting to Games in general. Rather it is indicating that we’ll be talking about the developer behind the once much maligned No Man’s Sky....
