Good into to peaty malts. If you want a cask strength sherry malt, the ablerlour a'bunadh is the poo poo. If you want to go a little more expensive, I just got the old pulteney 17 and it's a very compete and complex single malt..

Hey, don't feel too bad. I made my own space JPEGs for a game that doesn't even exist. Another goon is taking said space JPEG and putting it in an actual game. He has planned it out and everything (take note, CIG), and it sounds like it will be hilarious.

We all go to ridiculous lengths for comedy sometimes. Just be thankful that you didn't spend thousands of dollars making us laugh. Real people have done this.

Think about that.

You see this Eve narrative over on Reddit all the time. You know it, you've seen it before - Goons ruined Eve. I don't get it. Can somebody explain it to me?

Like I get the gist. Goonswarm was a huge, cheap fleet that could lock down entire sectors and destroy important convoys. But I feel like without the adversity none of the really clever stories you hear about Eve even beyond this forum would have ever happened. I feel like it would have been a lot of spergs trying to push top tier ships for its own sake - presumably for Eve's absolutely riveting PvE?

Eve is a game that benefited from its scale and it's wild-west atmosphere. Without those things it would have been a mastubatory exercise and I'll never understand why people still curse goons for making a lackluster game relevant.

The best part of this is the thread starter was Cobbler, who wrote a very lengthy farming post which included procedural prey.

I think Goonswarm was/is just an easy scapegoat for people who get too frustrated at the concept of loss and competition in videogames. The people that complain the most about EVE are the people who invest far too much into the game emotionally. They're the spoiled types that throw tantrums when things don't go exactly their way. No doubt EVE benefits from adversity, it is a sandbox, where everything is driven by players.

Yeah I quickly gave up on that, it told me all the pads were full. They weren't even close to full (unless the other ones aren't active yet). I just camped the pads that seemed to be spawning ships and stole the first thing I could clip through.

Come to think of it, the game of actually getting a ship might be the only game there is right now. It's like a drunk race as you awkwardly lumber through the space station due to the heavy motion blur and unoptimized engine running so poorly you have noticeable input lag. Then if you're unfamiliar with whatever space plane you find you get to poke at the ship to see which non-descript body panel the ladder or whatever is going to telescope out of Jetsons style.

Once you get a ship there is approximately poo poo-all to do so you just crash it and punch the autism chariot slot machine again and see what you get.

Dreams.

no, they buy ship, they gift to him, he melts and rebuys said ship with LTI (as he was an early backer and had access to LTI after the cut off date) and regifts to the backer, but he got a discount and pocketed the difference.


eg, give him 100 dollar ship, he melts, buys 85 dollar ship with LTI, give it to you, he keeps 15 dollar credit for himself as a tip

I had no idea this was a thing, I'll bet it's coming right after private servers :v:

Actually, a year after Chris personally said that they would definitely have a Linux version, he had a 10ftc where he basically completely changed his stance to "We're currently focusing on dx12 (which is not compatible with Linux in any shape or form) but if somebody else gets that working on Linux then we'll do a Linux release."
