I love NMS, and I think it's a better game than Starfield overall. But they're extremely different.

All of your criticisms are spot on. The only thing is disagree with is the story. I thought it was alright. Some of the side quests were great, but there weren't a lot of those.
I really enjoyed the ship building, but it was extremely limited and unbalanced.
I will say the loading screens didn't bother me, though.
Point is don't buy Nvidia.
There are other options at that price point that aren't Nvidia.
There aren't other comparable options to say the 5090, which no one needs.
That was my point. I was speaking generally, not about the 5060.
Stop buying Nvidia products. You don't need the top of the line video card.
Despite getting ragged on for it, I really enjoyed the game. It wasn't spectacular, but I found it fun.
I've always been a mid-range gamer. When I was younger, that's just what I could afford. As I've grown older, I didn't see the point of spending more for high end. Mid-range already feels too expensive. But luckily, the parts last for 5 years easily.
The last one should be something like, "I can fit any technology with enough practice and patience."
When I was 5 or 6, my grandmother got a NES and three games. One was Crystalis.
Me and my two cousins played the game in turns, and we eventually got to the first boss, which was quite an achievement because there are puzzle elements to the game.
We could not beat this boss. Several years later, I have my own NES and I borrow Crystalis. I'm pretty sure I got to that boss again and realized something. Hitting him produced a sound that no other monster had. It sounded like hitting solid glass. I finally intuited that I wasn't strong enough and leveled up to level 3, and wouldn't you know it, I beat the boss.
It's one of my all time favorite retro games. It was so ahead of its time. Worth playing if you've never tried it.
Linux is still not ready for mainstream consumers
Jorge Castro of Universal Blue likes to say that the average person doesn't install operating systems, and I fully agree with him.
People rock what comes installed on their computer. Anyone who installs an OS them self is not an average user.
I think we'll see the average user start to choose Linux as more and more manufacturers ditch the Windows tax and ship computers with Linux.
Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it's magic.
