Hello Games announced the release of the Aquarius Patch 5.12 for No Man’s Sky this morning. NMS still tops the list for one of my favorite games! (Technically speaking, NMS is generally my favorite game, but lately I’ve had this calling for Outward Definitive Edition.) I might actually be loading it up for a bit of play time after the work day and chores come to a close later this evening. Qvaid is heading back over to my sister’s house for some crafting sessions, and SoSirius and I might be loading up NMS on a new start for a bit of some space adventures! Should you have an interest, you can take a gander at the official patch message on their Website, here.
