Well, I have a ???? story to share - weird, funny, sad? idk.

After I told my friend about the game, in 2023, he got excited to check it out, and in January 2024, he messaged me in the morning saying he had managedto get it for free on Epic and had completely forgotten about it. I went over to his place and taught him the basics of how to start and trading and mining. He played for a few weeks - we even did some activities together - but then he stopped.

Then, I invited him again, and after a lot of convincing, he finally agreed to join me because of this bounty, haha. I went to his house, and... this happened:

I waited him for more than an hour!!! I even wrote a poem (translation ahead) while waiting for him to wake up in the building's parking lot (a neighbor I know let me in, but he was completely out—I was actually a bit worried since it was the middle of the afternoon, but he just sleeps really deeply):

My poem:

In the first hour, I opened a beer. An IPA tall can is more than enough for one man, a man who is chained by the shackles of modern society's walls and boundaries, with its semi-shared housing buildings. Art, however, sets us free. Whether on a good sound system or in headphones, as it is for me, music - the most versatile and ancient of arts - soothes and excites, gives and takes. Amen to Music god.

That day, I went home with empty hands and heart. But I got over it!

The next day, he invited me again, and this time it was for real:

This time he was awake.

He reinstalled the game, and now I was teaching him how to exploreto and engineers mechanics. He didn't make it through the grind. As soon as he realized it would take over 10 runs to fill just 2/3 of a single material stack, he was out - but we played for like 3/4 hours.

Unfortunatelly, I didn't even think to capture the moment somehow - I should have taken a picture. I won't lie, I brought the IPAs I hadn’t drunk - since he was asleep anyway - and was just so happy to see someone else besides me playing one of my favorite games that I forgot about everything else, lol - to this day, I haven't met anyone else in my city who plays ED. Maybe it's just too specific, as everyone around here seems to only like sports games or FPS.

Well, that’s it. I hope it didn’t come out too confusing... it was all confusing even for me haha

I took a mate of mine out to do some mountain scaling on foot as he hadn't done much exploring outside the usual visit to a settlement. He was a bit green to climbing in Elite, so I shared some wisdom I received from a random guy at the system bar. We had a lot of fun during this session, but I don't think he needed my help climbing after all!

Not one of the most recent but still valid, I've helped one of my friend get into Elite, he's new to this game and had problems with the controls so I have explained to him the basics of the movement and what he can do for the start. I've explained him different types of activities and helped him get on a station and choose courier missions.

I know he's not playing this game quite often now but I'm still sending him messages about new content with a little explanation so maybe he'll get involved in this game 😅

From what he says, it was too difficult to start and unfortunately I have to agree, Elite is quite hard game to understand from the outsiders but maybe one day I'll get him into it 😁

Took CMDR Aelina along for a ride through a surface CZ. I am proud to report that they followed up with me while I was editing to say that they were able to go out on their own and win another CZ.

Here's me lettimg my boy loose with my Elite commander, a thing he's avoided up till now. It concerns me (after ten years of playing) that he's pretty much got it down by the end of his first session. Is it me? am I just rubbish at games? hahaha
