good thing there's no real in-game economy due to the lack of a public auction house and the spectacular shittiness of the "guild store" concept.

if they replaced "bullies" with "police" they could distribute this as a guide on how to avoid being arrested/tased/beaten for no valid reason.

I don't really mind if people have loud sex at like 11pm because I'm probably still awake and can just go in the other room and put some music on, but if they're like my previous upstairs neighbors who regularly woke me up at 3am on weekdays with hours-long fuck sessions, they need to shut the hell up and let me sleep.

everyone always says "stick with it, it gets easier" but there's only so much pain and frustration I'm willing to put up with, and contacts are way the fuck over the line.

I have something like a -8 prescription with astigmatism, and I was able to get soft contacts.

players will complain no matter what - an AI that intelligently flanks is teleport hacking, an AI that aggressively attacks the player even when it's clearly an ambush is dumb and predictable, an AI that recognizes an ambush and waits outside is passive and broken, etc

fyi there is a Tutorials button in the main menu

all four volumes of Goonfleet: The Comic Book will be free until June when the hardcover version comes out.

I have the same body type and buying pants always sucks. I went to Target the other day and there was ONE pair in the entire men's section that fit properly on my waist and wasn't too tight, too long, or "vintage" style which apparently means "we added all this brown dye so your pants look super dirty all the time"

stir-fry broccoli is great

new players would be better off in Brave Newbies or Red vs Blue anyway, they'll take anyone and spend all their time doing stuff that's actually fun instead of shooting structures unopposed for hours on end.

one of the PL dudes said they lost like 25% of their active titan fleet. they still have a lot left, but over the past few months they've been relying entirely on their capital/supercap blob to win fights because they're terrible with subcapitals and thought CFC was unwilling to commit to a full capital engagement.

the decision to spend real money to get in-game money is a simple cost/benefit calculation. if you make $12/hour working in a call center or some other low-end desk job and aren't living paycheck to paycheck, converting an hour and a half of RL work to isk via PLEX is far more time-efficient than spending dozens of…

the last battle resulted in the loss of a Russian dreadnought fleet (CFC dreads were unable to jump in because of extreme lag) but this fight was an order of magnitude larger than that one.

Dark Horse is doing a 4-part comic book about the BoB/goons war, the first one is coming out next month.

"they knew what they signed up for" doesn't mean the employer can get away with paying less than minimum wage with no overtime, making them work over 8 hours with no meal breaks, paying them less than twice a month, etc.

who cares if the password's not secure when you gave them fake personal info and an email address that's only used for registering on shitty websites?

dreadnoughts are strategic-level assets of no real use to an individual player, and as such are typically either replaced using alliance funds when lost on official alliance operations, or owned by the alliance and loaned out to capable pilots when needed. CFC lost 49 dreads in that fight, all of which were reimbursed…

also works great on stuck car locks. I bought a car where the trunk wouldn't lock because the previous owners left it unlocked in their garage for the past 15 years, but a good squirt of WD-40 fixed it.

a 75-year-old would be on Medicare (not Medicaid, that's the program for poor people who either live in a state that accepted the federal Medicaid expansion funding or meet various state-defined requirements like "having no assets whatsoever and under $5k/year income" or "being a pregnant woman or child")
