Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm not saying the game isn't good now. They've done a fantastic job getting it to where it is now and everyone should definitely give it a second chance. But Rockband (I'm a huge RB nerd btw, my friends and I definitely skipped a few too many school days to play it all day instead) and Minecraft gets poked fun of because they really are just digital Lego and hitting plastic together, but they are still among the best games ever. The closest equivalent I can think of for NMS was that the game had a very shallow game loop of collecting resources and upgrade your ship, which is what it was when it first launched.
I don't see much hate for NMS anymore, either people forgot it exists or they are praising how good it has become.
