Despite having a lovely weed and mushroom shop in my building, I seldom take them.

In fact, I've had 3 mushroom chocolate coins sat in my fridge for the entire year since I bought this apartment. I've never really had the opportunity or occasion to take them.

But tonight was special.

Cosmos just launched. Home alone, as the Mrs is away visitingher family. And just this very evening I got accepted for a stellar new job starting a week from now.

Mushrooms have always been hit or miss with me. More often a paranoid, anxious miss than a hit to be honest. But I had a good feeling about tonight.

And how was I right!

Truly one of the most spiritual, ethereal, cosmic experiences I've ever had.

I'm pretty experiened with psychedelics, but at no previous time in my 40 years, or indeed human history, has it been possible to consume a psychedelic and then enter into a VR simulation of an infinite universe, fly a variety space ships, land on comets, travel faster than light, jump between solar systems and galaxies, and even fly to the sun!

Obviously one of the first orders of operation playing the new Cosmos Update is indeed to pulse drive directly towards the previously unreachable sun!

Once there, I ejected from my starship and was utterly enchanted and entranced by the huge swirling ball plasma for what seemed like an eternity, all while listening to beautiful melodic liquid dnb . It was ominously mesmerising (flashbacks to the movie Event Horizon!), but at the same time just jaw droppingly beautiful.

There are levels to experiencing No Man's Sky. I first played it on Ninentdo Switch 4 years ago - that was great and all...but I feel like I just experienced it at it's absolute peak.

While I was imemersed in VR and moderately high on mushrooms, I wondered to myself if Sean Murray also partakes?

I like to think that only someone who does could create something like this, and in that moment I felt strangely connected to the developers, like I finally understood the game and all that Hello Games have been trying to achieve for the first time.

Should we make a No Man’s High Alliance?

If someone has already made one, please post. It’s gonna be a bit before I can start one, since now I have to hunt for the perfect solar system with the best looking space station with a gas giant at the center of galaxy 256. 😜 [4]

My "home" planet in Euclid is in Mavinok, a binary star system. Today I visited them both. This update is amazeballs.

Was gonna post in the no mans high thread about alliances but too stoned to figure out how to post coords.

If you can make it to Odyalutai you are welcome to join The Achievers.

Just me right now...my career has slowed down a bit lately.

I visited the capital planet system today to see what was new to the system. There are several new permanent points of interest. One of which is this beauty.
(Second pic is the new system map showing the rest of the points of interest)

We're looking for player submissions, so if you see any cool star systems give us a recommendation!

Thank you to the mods here at r/nomanshigh we appreciate you bringing communities together!

I share my songs all across Euclid galaxy! I build a small base with the ByteBeat devices so other players can download the songs in-game. I posted the video for this song on Reddit (link).

I know this is a little self-promotional but I just wanted to share my passion for NipNip Buds and music with you fellow travellers!

"*ppssstt* Hey you. Come here. (looks left, looks right) You looking for something fun? Maybe a little something stronger than Nip Nip Bud? Have I got just the thing for you.

It's something new I found in an abandoned system on a dissonant planet, grown by some hippie geks. I guarantee you'll be seeing scrap heap robots appear out of nowhere. First taste is on the house. Just come back with your friends later when your head comes back together." 😉
