The No Man's Sky Card 

An argument ending excuse to be used when one genuinely enjoys something that is widely disliked, or discouraged, and feels they should not have to validate their enjoyment of it; but one's friends give them unending shit about liking said thing or activity.

"Bro I can't believe you listen to Nickelback, their music is so trash"

"Hey man, I just like their music, I'm pulling the No Man's Sky card"
"Ugh, fine"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why do you play video games on console? PC is better in every way!"
"I'm pulling the No Man's Sky Card, it's just what I like"
"Okay, whatever"
