My guy, you’re here the same as me 😃

Hm. You seem a bit sensitive lad. Maybe Stardew is better for you? It has better safe spaces 😃

Well, that’s been the only posts dev’s have commented on in forever.

It does tend to smack of favoritism 😃

Again

All you do is insult and attack people, then you get happy because “you won”.  
You just don’t see it.

We are not here to “win” argument’s by pushing other people down, that is just childish and shows a lack of confidence.

Go out in the real world and “win” without being a dick, it will be good for you.

How so? Its true innit? You see posts all the time, this one included, where people cannot even avoid a simple gank. People can’t fit ships right, use F10, use local, use d-scan, or use the myriad of tools, both in game and meta to stay alive.

It’s facts bro 😃

Oh? But it’s true bruv. Mm no, not a vet and I def don’t confuse vidya games with real life 😃 You’re looking for Razorback on that one.

I have however, played a plethora of MMOs/MUDs since 1995 😃

How is that an insult? I believe them to be lying 😃

ROFL. See this is what just makes me straight ROFL for real, for real.

This assumption that in-game or forum behavior has any bearing on how you act in real life. Your condescending attitude makes me LOL 😃

I’m plenty confident bruv, hence why space pixels don’t make me mad 😃

Also, let me share with you a story. There used to be a PK on GL back in the day. Ruthless killer. Absolute beast in PvP. He’d kill a day 1 noob or a 3 year vet with equal impunity. Dry loot, every single time. No quarter asked, none given.

Well, some people organized a real life meet up in the area. People were asked to show up wearing a name tag with their char name. When the dude showed up, people could not believe it.

Upstanding pillar of the community he was. Super chill guy, amazing father and businessman. Did community service all the time. Gave back to his church and his community. Bought everyone a round on him, just lamented he couldn’t use in-game gold to pay for it.

The lesson? He was playing a vidya game bruv. His in game persona has no bearing on who he is in real life.

The only thing that really makes me scratch my head, is how you and your fellows keep getting that wire crossed. Don’t get me wrong, your opinion isn’t new. I’ve encountered it since 1996 and in every open world PvP game 😃

Just boggles my mind tho. Yennoe why I’m a staunch defender of Aiko’s playstyle, despite barely utilizing it myself? Because it represents the freedom of what EVE is.

_Also_ she would not catch as much flak if she were male, and that is chip truth. Not only is she the leading ganker in all of EVE, raking in billions weekly, sometimes daily, but she is a woman to boot.

And I know how much that rankles for some of you, although you’d never admit it here out loud 😃

You wanna know what proves my point? Kusion. He’s worshipped, even by AGers. Why is that? He does the same thing Aiko does. So does Hawk.

Anyways, continue with your armchair psych, which is a no no actually :D, meanwhile I’ll be here. Enjoying the forum. Enjoying the game. And yennoe what gives me more enjoyment?

Knowing you don’t 😃

Who talked about “performance issues” here besides _you_?  
Now I get it. You have a problem getting it up. Otherwise you wouldn’t have brought the subject to attention. It came from your mind, my friend, and you had to polute the forum with your problem.  
Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do to help you. Try to see a Lady or a therapist, I hear they’re good at solving erectile disfunction.
