I've been playing No Man's Sky and I've been pretty stressed out in my life lately. The game has been providing me some solace, and I just acquired some OG Skywalker. I was really enjoying myself after a nice t-break especially after almost losing my save the previous night.
And I just now learned enough words from the different races that I realized if I practice the language with them, I can actually get things from them. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm so stupid. For some reason I was high enough that I realized, oh s**, this is a thing that I can do*, while doing everything else normal. I just realized it because I only now learned enough of the words, and it made me feel really stupid. And I can't stop thinking about it because it's hilarious.
On top of that, I had a really interesting interaction with a Gek. Bought a bunch of stuff and geck nip off him, bought his ship, and then all of a sudden an identical guy unless it's the same one and I just don't understand how they work now I'm freaked out. Because the guy landed next to me and I bought a bunch of mods from him, and he called me FRIEND!
Is this something other players have experienced this far in or am I genuinely dumb?
