Elite is one of those ungodly good games, but it appeals to a very specific type of person. It's like a bottle of a very good alcohol with a very acquired taste. And something that requires thought, not something you get stuck into at 3pm for a handful of minutes.

It's how I met the love of my life, haha. I've put well over a thousand hours into it, but remembering the controls and wondering what happened to my carrier gives me anxiety xD

Still...it's one of those games I still dream about sometimes. It gives me a deep longing to see Sirus, or Canis Majoris, or the core once again, with all the stars overhead. Sometimes, we still talk about it between talks about getting engaged soon. :)

God, maybe I should give it a go again. I fucking love that game.
