Weekly Round-up of my favorite NMS-related content

Beautiful fungi on MrSunnyMem’s Community Build Planet

We’re inching closer to the 5th Anniversary of the No Man’s Sky release date, and while there hasn’t been any new news (or cryptic emojis) from the Hello Games camp, the NMS community has been busy creating content. Here’s a wrap-up of my favorite finds this week. Share in the comments if there is something that I have missed…

YouTube

I’m loving all the challenges that have been popping up on YouTube over the last couple of weeks: Normal mode, no starter ship; Permadeath, no multitool, no starter ship, etc. Imagine my delight when a new challenge popped up: Who can die the fastest in Permadeath?

• As of this writing, Beeblebum is the defending champion with 7.99 seconds! Way to die…quickly. 😂

• I like to play chill videos in the afternoons while I’m working, and Thranxes’ channel is perfect, His soft commentary, paired with beautiful landscapes, is just the pick-me-up I need when 5pm seems ages away.

• I’ve really enjoyed the shots on @croft_onyox’s Instagram account. A fairly new account, everything that has been posted has been magnificent. I’m only slightly jealous.

• And to satisfy my own vanity, @NMSspot_wanderer expertly hunted down my newest base and shared on his feed.

• A fantastic micro build by @Edvintage1. I’ve always loved tiny builds. When I start a new base, I always think that this time I’m going to go compact. Halfway through, though, it looks like a sprawling hamster house. Someday…

Twitch

There are two channels that I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found:

• MrSunnyMem - streams US mornings

• Lianerras - streams US afternoons

Both variety streamers, but with a special focus on No Man’s Sky (and there is an intersection between both communities - as well as a new Community Build happening in Euclid). If you’re looking for something new to watch, as well as active Discords - check them out. They’re the most lovely people. ❤️
