Fan video reveals the truth of No Man’s Sky: Everything will have silly names

No Man's Sky has a lot to live up to. The game has a functionally infinite galaxy sandbox on offer, but even after developer Hello Games detailed the economy behind the exploration, players are wondering what they'll be doing in the sandbox. Are we digging motes or making castles?

The game will see players upgrade their equipment and ship, harvest resources, fend off an omnipresent alien threat, and of course take to the skies to find new locations. At the center of this exploration is the game's oft-touted naming feature, which allows discoverers—of planets, creatures, plants, etc.—to leave their mark on their findings with a unique name.

Unfortunately, as YouTuber Weebl's Stuff pointed out in a recent video, No Man's Sky will be played by human beings. The same human beings who launch unsuspecting guests to their doom in Roller Coaster Tycoon, fill Spore with creatures straight out of nightmarish renditions of sex-ed textbooks, and subject countless Sims to everything from solitary confinement to spontaneous combustion. Indeed, parts of No Man's Sky will inevitably look something like this:
