    If anyone hasn’t played it, Endless Sky is a lot of fun, a top-down space trading simulator/shooter. In particular the “fun value” on low-end hardware is really good, and it handles casual session play pretty well as long as you don’t get involved in a long run or big battle when you can’t spare a few minutes.

      I second the recommendation! I’ve sunk a lot of hours into the game, and the plugins add even more variety and replay value if you finish all the content that’s already there.

      I’m still on the starter ship so no combat yet.
      I once managed to find a missile launcher that would fit into its specs, but for some reason, was unable to shoot it, so no idea if it was me not understanding the controls or that I missed some parameter (I had replaced the battery with supercapacitors to make space for the launcher), but again, no combat.
      That was my first session. I played ~9hrs.

      In my second session, I opened the main screen and instead of starting the game, I kept on staring at the compass icon for a while, imagining stuff. Then I quit the game and made this.
      ~12 hrs (I’m not regular at blender, so had to re-look for all UI stuff)
