You realize there are quite a lot of reasons why you wouldn’t want all mails uploaded to zkills right? I’m sure you can figure it out bruv 😃 Also back in the day I was quite lazy to upload and I def enjoyed the ski mask way more. Liquid is easier to deal with than modules yennoe? But talk to me more about hole control. I mean, can you go longer than 72 hrs? Asking for a friend 😃 ---

Ahh I see you’ve ceded the field and given up 😃 Thankee. I’m sad honestly. I was genuinely curious if you could go longer than 72 hrs with that hole control. I’d venture a guess you couldn’t hm? I’m betting others must have better hole control than you. Hopefully they’ll teach me 😃 ---

Mass-market appeal kills IPs. It does not save them. The “wider audience” is a myth. Games are healthier when they cater heavily to a niche audience that will remain loyal, rather than catering very lightly to a wide audience that will move on to the next new thing. ---

Sigh. I mean I get you think you’re doing something, but its pretty apparent you got no retorts left. I mean… I dunno if I could go 72 hrs of hole control but I def can do this all day 😃 I do day trip a lot tho. Maybe one day I’ll find your hole 😃 ---

I’ve made a bunch of friends in this community. People that as a group, we don’t just play EVE together, but other games and socialise out of game. I can’t remember ever having an experience in the community other than positive ones personally; and I genuinely think that as a group, we are all just out to have fun ourselves; and in this game, there are multiple ways to have fun, many of which are in direct competition to each other. So I don’t think Schadenfreude is the right way to express it. We all just find fun in different ways, but I’ve never seen someone that has been genuinely out to harm someone else - the Erotica1 stupidity was the closest to that in my view and the glee that one forum member at the time showed at the potential of direct physical harm to the player behind Erotica1. ---

Very true. I also feel EVE is one the last games that can evoke an actual emotive response because the stakes can actually mean something. I mean OP is case in point. He’s spreading more salt over the forums than that dude from Home Alone. That could only have come from a truly good or bad experience in game 😃 ---

Well salt often comes because we’ve become invested due to the good experiences. You can’t truly hate something or someone unless you loved it first yennoe?
