#built like a loony tunes alien pet

You know? I just had that very thought? Cause imagine? Like 50 hours in... you're building your Sweet Base on this planet when?

The fuck? There is another player? But you're not ON multi-player right now? But he's cool. Super excited by your base. Really helpful. His Player ID looks funny but whatever.

You have a great time.

Post a picture of you and your New Temporary Buddy (cause the friend menu was Hella glitched, it said you were on single player). There is no way your ever gonna be able to find each other again. But? Best couple hours of play you've had in a while! Dude was awesome!

And?

The internet blows up? You get called a faker? The fuck? Others say you're super lucky? The FUCK?

You have no idea what's happening.

Then you find out?? It wasn't a player. Or it IS but might be a dev. No one knows. You met some sort of cryptid. And they memed with you. Built your sweet base together. You watched them try to pet an alien wolf, fail, get chased... then fall off a foot tall ledge into a lake. It was some loony tunes shit.

And? The same guy? Shows up EVERYWHERE? But only in space games... and I quote "if they're good".

There are forums that apparently try to track where he shows up. They wanna know if they can use your photo. Sure?

Game developers are trying to insert the dude into their games as an Easter egg. But he got "ripped out" of the latest cash grab, loot box simulator so hard it crashed the servers for a week? They tried to patch him back IN but somehow he got ripped out AGAIN. Replaced with a sign that read "No."

No one can figure out if it was publicity stunt or not.

And it's just? One of those "you lay awake at night and want to shake people and show them your conspiracy board like a crazy person, but also both EVERYONE and NO ONE has apparently heard about it???" Mysteries? No one KNOWS what's going on. It's gonna HAUNT ya. We move on an lol at some memes.

Honestly? I would LOVE it, if Danny never realizes he's just? RUINING the mental health of these poor souls with his lack of closure. He literally ghosts them. Only to show up, somehow in a DIFFERENT game by DIFFERENT developers, who have absolutely no crossover to the last guys. And there is never a reveal.

No YouTube channel plug. No "check out my upcoming movie or game!". No viral advertising ANYTHING. He just shows up, fucks around, has fun, and bounces. Breaking the rules and how the game FUNCTIONS the entire time.

You watch him eat an apple. Knowing damn well those are set dressing and non-interactable. Then he waves, walks past the invisible wall you can't go past, and just? Vanishes. You make a noise that concerns those who love you.

HOW!?

As I played No Man's Sky... It HIT Me.

My third eye is opened and I have reached a stage of enlightenment that's leaving me GIDDY. Holy fuckin shit.

Danny own SPACE GAMES~☆🎇✨️🌠

"Yeah, obviously?" you say, a little confused.

But stop an THINK about it. He can go INTO games! Doomed is a glitchy, limited, online mmo. Not some single player triple A. There are Space Simulators.

Sandbox games where you explore the galaxy.

Literally NOTHING stopping HIM from becoming a game developer. Hiring tech ghosts. Alien ghosts. Alien TECH ghosts. And producing an underground hit.

Sitting in the virtual, on an alien planet, in his space suit and just... listening to the wind. The pattern of toxic rain against the habitat.

The sense of PEACE he must feel? Just turn on creative mode or pick a peaceful sandbox game and just? Get to work. Terraform a planet. Built a settlement. Farm in a habitat on Mars. Slip into some VR game and just? Hang out on the orbital space station.

I can't even put it into words? How emotional I am kinda getting? Just imagining him step through a screen and onto alien grass. Just a big old peaceful field of alien flora, beneath an alien sky. No responsibilities. Just Space.

Getting to explore the cosmos and still come home. Not having to choose between Amity and the stars. Making some little habitat with knickknacks and a bunk, that he can just go hang out in. Listen to the sounds of an alien world. Sleep in a far off galaxy and be home for breakfast.

God he would GLOW. His joy would overflow.

The only thing I'd honestly worry about is his Obsession and the Fenton Family Fixation Tendency kicking in. Getting addicted to serene, seretonin-producing Fantasy, over stressful, anxiety-producing Reality. It would be understandable. And something to look out for.

Because it wouldn't even be insidious or malicious action. Just the nature of "this one is calming and feels nice" vs "this one is stressful" would do it. Who WOULD want to leave? But... you gotta balance. Because you aren't just ghost. You can't just wrap yourself in Space like a safety blanket. No matter HOW soothing and awesome it is.

But good God is he gonna have SO much practice for his eventual lair. Bet his virtual Bases are IMMACULATE.
