At no point have I suggested that the pit limiter shouldn't be used. I'm simply stating, over and over again, that a change in circumstances can make a person forget a procedure. Following a safety car might just be the kind of thing that makes you forget, or feel like the usual procedure doesn't need to be followed.

There's no real argument against what I'm saying. Humans are fallible, we make mistakes in unusual circumstances.

I'm saying that before any radio messages occurred, I might be entering the pits, behind the safety car, assuming that I'm not going to be speeding, and therefore may not think to press the speed limiter button.

By the time someone tells me it was too late it's already too late.

Imagine you're following a police officer on a road, they're slowing down traffic for some problem up ahead, and then they pull you over for speeding.

This is very cool!

Is there a list for slightly longer stories? I don't mind a short story now and then, but I feel like a 6-minute story barely scratches the itch for me most of the time.

Edit to say that I mean longer than an hour, too. I filtered this list by length and they're all very short, which is the point, obviously.

I guess I'm looking for a novella, or something like 4 hours in length, perhaps.

If anything I think that causes confusion.

I can certainly imagine myself thinking "we're behind the safety car, surely we're not speeding through the pits"

I think it's more a case of Stroll doing Stroll things.

How long can it possibly take to choose what to do?

There's dangerous debris on the track, you've put yellow flags on the only DRS zone, and you leave it like that until it gets hit by someone several minutes later, then you leave it with scattered debris for another minute. In the mean time two people get their races ruined or made worse, and you also hand out a HUGE penalty for a driver missing a flag that should have been a VSC minimum from the start. So stupid.

This is part of what's going to make Light No Fire so cool. I'm sure that some of the tech now being added to NMS is being added as a way of testing or proving hypotheses for LNF. I hope we do see more of the LNF mechanics (like multiple biomes on one planet) be backported, like I suspect the improved water, and fishing mechanism may have been.

I wonder if Facebook and other apps will add/push education elements in order to become exempt.

I doubt it, and if they do, they'll classify a whole bunch of nonsense as educational content in order to do so, e.g. religious content as science.

Sneaking the old "this is why people want remote work" in there certainly makes this feel like something big tech created to push RTO.

Is there anything to get here? I feel like either I'm missing something, or this comic is literally just about someone having a nap instead of playing a game.

Fine if that's the case, but I keep thinking there's some sort of joke I'm missing.

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

It's just a screenshot showing Light No Fire is on a lot of wishlists.

Perhaps this is the beginning of the run up to a release date announcement.

With all the stuff being added to No Man's Sky I'm wondering what will make Light No Fire distinct.

What can LNF add to differentiate it from NMS?

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man's Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he's also used the "world" emoji in posts about Light No Fire's open world.

Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

I just want some news, ideally a release date!

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.
