The Butcher, Baker, and Candle Maker in Spaaace

Let's talk about this new Interceptor update. We have had some time to digest it and here is our takes. We have the easy way or the hard way to get the new ships and multitools. Most of all just having fun. I think Gary2 will be able to stop panhandling in space stations now.

Hungry from hopping galaxies? Stop by the flying food truck for some Monstrous Donuts. Baker is serving up only the tastiest treats in Eissentam. Gary2 is alive and well. We check in on his progress. The Expedition is done now but we had some final thoughts.

You may want to consider this the next time you are scrapping a crashed ship. What is the status of Gary2 and what else do you do after a 9 hour walk across the desert?

We are back and getting caught up. Permadeath, Fractals, and reaching Utopia. Good times.

I doubt despite the name that the Utopia update will make it any easier to make money in Permadeath mode. We talk about our best strategies for scraping together an existence in the harsh economy worlds. Good thing we didn't make any prediction for the new update because other than the VR improvements we were not close. 

Permadeath runs rampant. Thirty Organic Frigates. Tales of Garys gone by. 

Sometimes your Organic Frigates can be really picky eaters. Becoming a chef is a necessity. Baker unlocks a fancy cape and Pantagruelia begins a run to the center of the galaxy in Permadeath. 

Piracy has become a way of life. Could I even play the game without it now? Have I converted Baker and Pantagruelia? More Derelict talk and what is the mystery Quicksilver mission. 

We are back and have been enjoying the Holiday Expedition Redux[s]. Stocking up on reward modules and running Derelict Freighters. As the Polestar expedition wraps up it is time for Emoji watch. 

Going on the hunt for Organic Frigates and trying to avoid Terrors to collect Larval Cores. Plus the beginning of the Redux. We unravel the mysteries of the universe.  

Freighters, Pirates, and Derelicts keeping us busy ahead of the Redux. 

Playing with the harsh economy can be quite challenging. Especially when things start breaking. Dames hanging out in space, and running derelicts for freighter upgrades. Surviving in space is a lot of work. 

We Continue to dig in to the latest features. Exploration is the hallmark of No Man's Sky and they continue to make it fun and interesting. 

Hello Games quickly addressed issues brought up with Update 4.0. We have had time to get better acquainted with the new modes. Join us as we dive in to these wild changes. Baker sending unsolicited deck pics? 

The Waypoints update has made some waves in the community. Adds some great new features but at a cost. We cover our initial impressions. 

Short on game time? try Permadeath. You too can be dead in a few short minutes. So many ways to die until you get off the planet. Testing the not so challenging challenge run. 

Why can you never find the item you are looking for in space? Feeding finicky frigates can be a challenge. Speaking of challenges, still trying to find an end goal for a No Planet challenge stream. May have convinced Baker to join me on the dark side. Yo Ho! 

Learning to cook for the organic frigates. Who knew they would be pickier than the space Ramsey in the Anomaly. Living ships and quicksilver. What a week. 

I need a damn Storm Crystal to make a Warp Core. Is that too much to ask? Finishing Expedition on Xbox. Jen improving her Anomaly panhandling. Baker is in Creative mode. I'm not sure any of us will be moving back down to a planet any time soon. Live in Spaaace!

Nice! With the Expedition completed by all, we talk about the excitement along the way. What plans we have after and gathering Organic Frigate. Since we recorded patch 3.99 has fixed the rather annoying notification window. Good on ya Hello Games. 

With the Expedition in full swing what's next. How do you find more Living Frigates to go along with the Leviathan. How many times do you need to see a message. All this and more on this episode. 

Episode is dedicated to the memory of Nichelle Nichols.  The contrast in this Expedition and last couldn't be greater. Learn all the new freighter parts and live the space RV life. Give it a try if you haven't yet.  Jen let us know later it was MLK that talked to Nichelle about staying on the TV series. Her contribution to all minority communities cannot be understated. 

I know it's a bit of a personal question but hey, the latest update is out and we are in to it. Do you want to build a 15 story city on top of your freighter? of course you do. Jump in and check it out. 

The Pirate life is too easy. Where's the danger and thrill of death.  We discuss the ins and outs of the Outlaw mechanics. Plus, thanks to the last update Jen is now a devotee of Permadeath. She has tasted the adrenaline and likes it. 

In the waning days of Expedition 7 we share our experiences. It wasn't hard enough for Baker so he made up his own rules.
