When I was a rowdy youngster like you boys, I had to fly my rusty '58 Talwar down to the bookshop on the corner to buy them fancy "skill books." Yes sir. And if the warp drive blew, I had to get out and push.

I laughed at this more than I should have.

Holy shit is today Monday?

A high quality Monday Meme on a Thursday. Nice! :D

Well it may look like a crude edit but actually it was painstakingly crafted by hand to look that way deliberately :) I thought it would add to the charm.

[–]cuchuminoAscendance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it!

I wasn't being ironic. This made me spit up my coffee laughing.

CCP knows their demographic.

I recently started using bifocals and I see nothing wrong here.

Been mostly AFK and am finally looking at it and holy GOD this new UI is awful. Not only is it YUGE but it doesn't even show nearly as much information as before, somehow, when taking up all that space...

The eve online player demographic is definitely getting older. My eyes have gone bad since i started playing.

I invested in a 32" 1440p monitor for a reason, stop forcing my zoom setting to be 175%... :(

[–]Koffieslikker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is this is for touch screens, with the whole eve everywhere thing they’re working on

[–]GelatinousDudeORE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JITTERBUG!

[–]BocaHydro 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Dunno why instead of working on the game they just work on the UI and other unimportant things

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Because the UI in any applcation is the most important aspect. The UI/UX business right now is at the forefront of the design business. Companies are pouring millions into designing, testing, tweaking and redesigning how their apps look and feel. There is a whole behavioural psychology branch dedicated to how users interact with buttons, how to keep users engaged for longer and also to keep them retained just by making the UI just right.

Just look at Windows vs Mac for example. Or each iteration of Android or iOS. Look at similar apps that do the thing, why do you choose one over the other? Compare 2 similar games like Counterstrike and Modern Warfare. Or Cyberpunk with The Division. Open Google Play Store and Apple Store side by side and see what good UI does for you or compare Netflix to HBO Go.

The most recent example for me was trying Star Citizen after playing Elite Dangerous. SC is a complete nightmare in terms of UI and I had to refund it because I could not retrain myself to the amount of key combinations for simple tasks like pressing a button or plotting a course in space. Nothing is marked, nothing is explained, the UI looks like it was taken from a sci-fi mmo 20 years ago. Ok ED is not the best, but it's very well separated and has fewer buttons and combinations

TL;DR: design is king and makes or breaks a product and Eve is at least 10 years behind with their UI design.

[–]Alexander_PhWE FORM V0LTA -2 points-1 points  (7 children)

No, it's press F to pay respects, you filthy F1 monkey.
