(Part 2) Top products from r/NoMansSkyTheGame

Sean's favorite book is Dune and this is HG's list of favorites from the community. My favorites are the Hyperion Cantos and pretty much anything by Asimov, Heinlein, and Bradbury.

No, the price of something shouldn't change whether you like something or not. However, the game being at a lower price could allow some people that couldn't before to buy it.

Because not everyone earns the same amount of money and has the same amount of responsibilities. Money isn't infinite, people have to make choices as to how they spend it.

You might have $60 on your wallet, and you might like No Man's Sky, but that doesn't mean you can buy it. There's a lot of other things you could do with that money, and some are more important. And so you find yourself having to make a choice, for example: Should I buy No Man's Sky or buy my ill mother's medicine?

An extreme example, of course, not everyone has to take care of ill relatives. But it illustrates my point: having the money to buy something doesn't mean that you can actually buy it, as that money might belong somewhere else we consider more important.

Back with my example: assuming your ill mother's medicine is worth $35 rather than your whole $60 savings, you still can't get No Man's Sky at full price. But if it were to be discounted to $25, and assuming that the game is second on your imaginary self-imposed priority list, then you could actually get it.

Well, that's how life works, but on a far bigger scale; we only have so much money, but a long list of things we want, some being very important, some not so much.

This is, of course, an overly simplified version of the actual Law of Supply and Demand. Which I highly encourage you to read upon. Learning Economics is something I would recommend to just about anyone.

I had a look at what else approx. $36 will buy you, I hope this helps.

Thanks for that; I wasn't aware of Roko's Basilisk but found a breezey explainer (on Slate ). It is interesting; the survey questions made me think about a 2011 Brian Greene book which runs through a bunch of theories of multiple or simultaneous universes.

Prehistoric Life (link is to Amazon listing for the book). A lot of interesting things about prehistoric life, evolution and the way the atmosphere (and entire planet) has changed over the millennia.

This is just stuff I came up with off the top of my head. The books alone will keep you busy for at least a couple months if you're a prodigious reader. There's pretty much no way you could possibly finish this entire list before September.

Star Diaries by Stanislaw Lem.

You must have been at the tail end of the Tonkas. They started making them in the 70s or earlier.

You can get remakes now, but they have more plastic than the originals did:
