Time to go to sleep, late but tomorrow we have a national holiday… nighties lovelies!
The solution is unknown, because we ourselves do not solve it. Its always a lot of things going on. We can predict, but in the end we will be just cogwheels, even those who think they are pulling the levers. Thats my observation.
I had to buy a MicroTransaction to get the Highest graphics settings!
Glasses!
(It wasn’t very MICRO)
Oh goodness!
I read that as “MicroAgression” and had take a double take. Gave myself a chuckle!
Timezone!
I had shared openly about something I felt I needed to share such to now I had to remove what was typed.
My eyewear is by far the most expensive thing I wear on my body… each lens was in the 200-250 € range 13 years ago and last time I checked (before being diagnosed with cataracts) the estimate was of about 300 € per lens depending on the maker and subject to the availabilty of the cylinder size fit for my graduation. My three latest sets I splurged on high refractive index glass, my current ones are 1.7 glass because back then 1.8 glass was only available through Zeiss and was horribly expensive. Next ones wil be 1.8 or maybe 1.9 but first I’ll have to do something with my cataracts and so far I’m still not distressed enough to have surgery…
And now i’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!
This is my last post in this forum. I don’t see the point of it now. Don’t need it when all the important info are on some other websites, CCP devs and ISD don’t care about what players post in here and most of the threads are rehash of other earlier threads where, like them, members only bicker for nothing but their ego. Don’t need that negativity in my quiet life.
This thread, The like and Get Likes, is the best I read on this forum and that’s saying a lot.
So, to @Yiole_Gionglao, @Nana_Skalski, @LordOdysseus, @Ax_l_Thorne, @Alice_Saki, @Wadiest_Yong, @Miiral, @Takeda_Sanjo, @Iceacid_Frostpacker and @Altara_Zemara… thank you!
Hope to see you in New Eden.
I advise you get that surgery done as soon as possible before it gets too advanced.
I’m going to miss you.
Hit me up anytime. I don’t hide behind alts. Ax’l Thorne here, Ax’l Thorne in game, so anytime you want to chat, share your adventures, just send a message in game!
But you will visit us?
Also, a hedgehog running his daily routine:
Let’s talk about the enshittification of internet platforms… (it’s a long read but 110% worth it)
https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys
(…)
This is enshittification: surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they’re locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they’re locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of sh*t. From mobile app stores to Steam, from Facebook to Twitter, this is the enshittification lifecycle.
(…)
Yes, I’m aware of it, but I’m 49 and since intraocular lenses might cause issues and need replacement anytime between 5 to 20 years, I’m not exactly sold on the chance of having my eyes operated again at 70…
…losing the abbility to read books will kick me into surgery, though, and I’m already struggling with what so far is “lack of enough light”.
Are we as the Capsuleers keeping up with pc hardware technology?
My pc is Broadwell-E June 2016
My in Noname ~2014-2021.
Basically upgraded with some things as the time goes by. Still plays EVE at 60 fps.
Now i don’t remember my PC build but with the exception of a Toshiba HDD which went kaputt my current computer is the same I ordered as a custom build back in 2015. The screen was changed because the original one had a very unfortunate encounter with a wall and i’m on the third mouse, but everything else is almost 8 years old (assembled in november) and still runs the games I expect it to run. And lets me shitepost here, which is of course why I bought the computer two years before I won EVE and EVE went F2P in a completely unrelated event.
Nighties lovelies!
I like building a new computer every 2 to 3 years
RTX 4070
Ryzen 7 5800X3D (I got before I found out about the issue this has with certain MBs)
