If you’re up for a potential new addiction, Elite: Dangerous is a massive space sim game, and space trucking in single player mode is one of my favorite ways to relax. Pop on some Youtube, Netflix, or a podcast. Check in every 15 minutes or so to decel from warp and handle orbit amd landing manually (you can use auto-modules to do it but lose ~25% of warp speed due to “safety protocols”, and the auto lander can get stuck in high traffic situations). It’s an MMO, but you can choose to just get the econ, politics, and other sim stuff without risking other players ganking you.
If you really want to see neat stuff in it though, you can save up, kit out an exploration ship, and go discover crazy stuff in the unexplored areas of the galaxy. That’s kind of mid-late game stuff though, the best ship modules for it involve a shit ton of grinding, and you have to go pretty far outside the core to find undiscovered areas. I want to get into it, but don’t have the time.
That would be my biggest complaint with the game: almost all the community guides are made to get you the best, and the best usually involves 10+ hours of grinding. Give me the second or third best, thanks.
