I was so pissed off by the lies around the launch of this game and subsequently being refused a refund that I never went back to it.

They really turned it around. You should check it out.
But yeah, super crappy launch.

10 years. I still have the game in my Steam library, waiting for me to try it.
I guess I will never try it, once you hit your 40s, games lose their appeal anyway.

you say this as if it is a law of nature, but into my 60s, i still quite enjoy relaxing with a good game. no mans sky is one of them!

No Man's Sky is great, but it does feel a bit too relaxed for the kind of experience I'm typically looking for in a game these days.
What kind of games did you play before and how do you enjoy spending your time now?

The scary thing about this article is how quickly ten years can pass—especially if you are in a video game world for many of those ten years.

"The Galactic Hub" is the best. Very active community, ongoing ambitious projects (many completed), it's really so much fun. It's also easy to get in to it. They have a "taxi service" on discord where a user gets on the mic and coordinates with you to bring you to the hub worlds so you don't have to do it manually.
If you're remotely considering it, join up. I hop on every month or two and it's a treat.

One of the most interesting talks on the math behind procedural generation:
That presentation was foundational for me personally wrt quite a few things.

If you add civilizations and intelligence to procedural generation- you get really fast into foundation prime radiant territory- where you generalize from huts to radioactive ruins or substrate (matrices) - the rise and fall of civilization from first principles. To put that into deterministic math- is fascinating - but then to add the players input and have the fate diverge..

The issue with procedural generation isn’t how to do it, the issue is how to keep it from being boring.
