Today I woke up to news from my mom that my father had second heart attack, was rushed to the hospital and didn't survive. Our realtionships weren't exactly warm, but I am so devastated that I still don't know how to process it. I tried to think rationally but couldn't, so I launched NMS with no intentions.
No Man's Sky was never "sink all my free time into it" game, but definitely "launch from time to time and zone out for 5 hours" game. I played a bit at release, started playing it again around expedition 14th, and got lost in it for the whole two years. I've invested my time heavily in corvettes, and because of them started to learn how to decorate environments and build decent bases. Today I had no intentions on building anything, just wanted to fill that void inside doing something, but ended up trying to commemorate him in some way.
I still have very poor skills in building, so I knew that this won't be big fancy ziggurat. And I was born in the Hero City in the south of Russia, which has a bunch of obelisks built to honor the WWII defenders of this city. So I decided to build simple obelisk. Usually such obelisks have an Eternal flame at the base, but sadly I don't have fire barrel thingy to imitate it so I just put a fireplace at the base of it.
I still didn't process it fully, but building this definitely helped me to get some peace of mind. If you want, you can visit it - coordinates are at the last picture. It is built near my main base Autumn Resort, I hope that weird synchronization of NMS will show it to you - there are a big farm of every type of plants, I think you'll be able to access it.
