Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.

Anyways, i just wanted to make sure everything worked, yknow? So i just loaded up a creative save and made a little base for 40 Minutes. The one above is the “Bedroom” i made. I’m a big fan of water and so i put lots of windows in.

I also built a observation sphere to just watch from. The screenshot doesn’t really capture it, but the view was gorgeous. Almost pitch blackness with glowing things in the sea, it was really pretty. I like seeing the pretty side of this game highlighted. I always hear from friends about how scary this game is, but also sometimes i feel it can be beautiful.

I also built this central living quarters with a fish tank. I had trouble getting the fish in until i realized i had to actually build a door to get in, so that was an embarrassing struggle.

By the point i was finished it was already getting late, so i decided to relax before my new years plans (Wii Sports, as is my tradition). I just sat in the dome and chilled, while listening to the soundtrack and other music. It was a chill experience. It’s a shame i won’t get to experience it with the sequel.

I don’t want to end off on a sour note about something negative, so i just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It’s been crazy to think I’ve made it this far in my screenshots. Even if this isn’t the Second Year mark, i’m thankful to have gotten to do these, it’s a blast getting to play these games and sharing them with others.

    I wish my wife could play subnautica with me, as she likes swimming around and stuff but isn’t really “good” at video games, since she never played one until adulthood.

    In Minecraft it’s mostly me doing the work while she does farming stuff. I once came back from a deep mining trip to see a once-empty field filled to the maximum with cows. We had a nice library afterward though.

    I still haven’t beaten subnautica without cheating or taking shortcuts. Heck when I first downloaded it, it didn’t even have an ending yet.

    9.3/10, it’s fun

      That’s how my girlfriend is too lol. I’m kind of the one handling all the mechanical stuff when we play while she handles everything non too mechanical. I think she could figure it out if she set her mind to it, but I’m more than happy to help her out.

      For beating the game, I’m not sure I could beat it to begin with. I think I’d get sidetracked and lose track of the story, even though I have a feeling it’s not too long

      Well she’s too busy taking care of young Molly to be able to make the time. Maybe have Worf babysit?
