    Space games really aren’t that much fun.

    For you maybe, but I’ve got over 4k hours in Elite Dangerous and have enjoyed every last minute of fun, especially in VR with a proper HOTAS.

      Elite is one of those ungodly good games, but it appeals to a very specific type of person. It’s like a bottle of a very good alcohol with a very acquired taste. And something that requires thought, not something you get stuck into at 3pm for a handful of minutes.

      It’s how I met the love of my life, haha. I’ve put well over a thousand hours into it, but remembering the controls and wondering what happened to my carrier gives me anxiety xD

      Still…it’s one of those games I still dream about sometimes. It gives me a deep longing to see Sirus, or Canis Majoris, or the core once again, with all the stars overhead. Sometimes, we still talk about it between talks about getting engaged soon. :)

      God, maybe I should give it a go again. I fucking love that game.
