Everyone knows I’m full of ■■■■ and come from a bygone era. I’m just here to remind players need to make some effort, even in a free game.
A thought/question that occurred to me today is do alpha accts have too much influence on how you play the game? It seems you can do a lot of things that should not be available to a new player who is just supposed to learn, then go omega? Not a new thought nor mine.
It took me a long time and a lot of effort to get where I got “back then.” I support the changes needed for new players to get ahead even if it broke all promises from CCP. Now new players expect a trophy for just showing up. I could say that CCP could change the rules again, but that timeframe and demographic audience is now lost, never to be recovered.
I got to be on the winning side of the 1st Burn Jita. Player made content now long gone. I lost a hulk in the 1st hulkaggedon, complained to support about it. Was told I f’ed up and why. I apologized because I started the game as a hunter and should have know better. Got “all” my stuff back! I love support because they always treated me fairly. So has the ISD! And trust me, I push their buttons as hard as I can. A lot of thd’s over the yrs have ended with my last post. Yeah, surprised me as well.
While I don’t seem to be serving a purpose because I don’t play much anymore, I’m here as a reminder to those who want to try, basically no one anymore, but now can’t support them anymore because I’ve run outta pocket change.
Theres rumors of a good flight sim coming out it the future. Give me a triplane and I will be gone from eve forever.
That’s literally my life. I don’t need to exercise because I am already in perfect health.
i am convinced a lot of mental and emotional issues these days, also health issues, are due to people working on 2-3 jobs; not quitting a job when it causes stress; and generally just hanging around people (mostly colleagues and other random people you happen upon, not choose into your life) with whom they have no connection or desire to spend time with. 95% of guys I’ve met are like that. Once they’re out of college, it’s 2-3 jobs or 1 main job and a number of temporary ones; no time for friends; no talking about their issues because men are supposed to be ‘‘unfeeling and not expressing their emotions, not even having emotions’’. I am not surprised that with that kind of lifestyle guys will crack sooner or later.
Photograph caption: “Tina Louise showing off her bowling form to baseball star Mickey Mantle, 1959”.
Is that some kind of standard baseball position called “bowling”? Is she holding a baseball as if it was a bowling ball? And who are they, never heard their names before?
That’s the only good thing that happened when I moved back north. Besides keeping my mom outta a home for over a decade, I got to hook up with some dear old friends. Hence the Camaro restoration.
I had a job that was so much fun, we would take turns going across the street for beer each day and go right back to work with our service manager and yard man! The whole crew. Yes, I was lucky.
Ok, I think we all fail on that one.
I’ll give that quest a pass while I’m on the forums…
It seems to me that young people just don’t want to push their limits? While I was young, I pushed as hard as I could. Meh…
I can’t speak for anybody else, but pushing for what exactly? What’s that gonna give me? A better pay? – Don’t care.
My approach to life has always been quality over quantity. I do what I want to do, I will live where I want to live, and be with people I like. That’s it. I don’t need to push anything, i already know who I am and I am familiar with where my limits are. The most important thing is to make another man happy. To give him love, to protect him, and take care of him. If I succeed with that I will die a completely happy man.
I find it amazing when you look at the quality of Soviet maps. They managed to accurately depict the world before the era of satellites and the internet. This is an excerpt from a top secret Soviet Army map in the early 70’s as part of their anti-fascist strategy to strike the heart of capitalism. It’s so detailed that they even have individual utility poles marked and how much weight each bridge can support in case they needed to move a column of tanks. They had to have sent out cartographers and trained geometers to get it this detailed.
Photograph: a candid photograph shot through a experimental buttonhole camera by German amateur photographer Carl Stormer, 1888
Remember, this is a candid shot, just how this man readied to greet the photographer without knowing he had a camera hidden behind his coat and shooting through a buttonhole, activated by a string and spring system inside his pocket.
Sorry I missed this one.
