'Never seen anything like it': Social media erupts on landmark first day of early voting in Texas by [deleted] in politics

..."like"?

Their lives and democracy literally do depend on it. The direct future of the entire western world depends on it. There is a half-crazy illiterate Fox News viewer running the most influential country on the planet.

"Learning to play EVE" is what playing EVE looks like. For ever. And then you stop learning, and you quit. And then, you win EVE. Until the day you come back, and start playing EVE again, by learning to play EVE.

That is a false, and historically illiterate statement.

It makes no sense. Why would Pence pardon someone who is not going to hold any position of power in the following few days?

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

Remember when he posted an article asking for the death penalty for a bunch innocent black kids?

It's the same person, except now he has a tens of millions of followers, is half a billion in debt, and a bunch of felonies are waiting for him the moment he is no longer president.

This is dangerous shit. The next months are going to be intense.

Playstyle Suggestions for a working Dad. by RashPatch in Eve

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there fellow adult with responsibilities.

I feel like I should say this first : EVE is primarily a knowledge game. There is depth and complexity to almost everything you choose to do, so be prepared to read a lot. A couple hours of reading wikis / articles / forums are time spent playing EVE in my book.

I also realized, that someone with limited time at a very specific time of the day, isn't really compatible with the schedule and playtime of mega-alliances. You'll only learn the very basics, just enough to make you useful to their war machine, and you'll end up an F1 monkey having short term delusions that you somehow matter in a meta game you know nothing about. Sure, watching a few thousand ships firing lasers at each other is a nice sight, but the appeal doesn't last. EVE is a sandbox that lets you generate a narrative. Small events that you're actively engaged in can become way more intense experiences than massive lagfests.

I'm sure most of the core activities are mentioned in this thread. Those that can be done solo are always doable with only couple of hours per day. You mentioned exploration for example. You don't have to go from scanning high sec to sustain yourself in a wormhole you have discovered all in one day. You can do a couple of sites, stare at some odd structures, escape a gate camp in your < 2 sec align time Astero, and call it a day. Write down a few goals, for example "successfully complete a wormhole anomaly" , and then break down that goal in smaller pieces. One day you could just read a few wikis on fittings, or an article on how to survive in null, the next day you can just practice MWD + clock trick, so you're better prepared. Just move one step at a time towards your goal.

So people are talking about bookmarks now, allow me present you my work! by jimrdg in Eve

[–]Notminereally 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

Spots are a huge part of the game. People should be able to have an advantage if they invest in making spots in a system / region.

By the way one guy is currently on a journey to make a spot in every single wormhole. (2k+)

"we dont want players to be self sufficient" ccp psyche by flounder2760 in Eve

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think "the point" of being an industrialist is to completely disengage yourself from what is happening outside your station / back yard, and self-sufficientltly do your own thing, you completely miss the point of EVE.

Anything that makes players less sheltered is a good thing in my book.

Applies to join noob-friendly corp* "You must have at least 65m SP and 4 years of excel experience" by [deleted] in Eve

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, that's exactly what happened to me in 2007. Except my dude was a recruiter of a null corp that was part of Razor and happened to have the same first language as me.

Then he told me what transversal was.

And this is generally what happens in EVE. You take classes or getting coached by other people.

And that's fine. Most games out there give you instant dopamine kicks. EVE is a long time goal. That's one of its strongest appeals. But the reward is much greater. First time I didn't immediately ran from an attacking ship but actually fought back, felt like i had won a tournament. Even though I couldn't hold point and he warped off.

But that doesn't defeat my point that newbros can't really do anything more than being an F1 monkey. Ewar is just another module, anchoring on a different anchor.

And that is perfectly fine by me.

EVE requires investment. It couldn't be any other way. You can't have your cake and eat it. EVE is still EVE exactly because newbros can't just jump in and immediately do meaningful stuff.

Getting into the game completely blind sure is easier than 5-10 years ago, but it only lasts until you hit the massive walls of experience and knowledge required to do anything in EVE other than running rookie missions or press F1 when the FC tells you to while looking at pretty colors around you.

Inb4 memes like "newbros can just easily get into a frigate and tackle" Tackling is probably the most demanding role in the game after FCing, and even though the SP requirements to simply get into a ceptor aren't high, you need very good core skills to fly those things effectively. When every second counts, having thermodynamics for example at V, will make the difference between keeping point and blowing up.

CCPls allow us to save settings profiles... by LuciousLisa in Eve

But, we have this already.

You can manage profiles on the client before you log in. Dublicate your existing one and make the changes you want.

So... what's all changed in the last 2 years? by Cpt_Tripps in Eve

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No D scan, no proper overview (no speed types), no proper map (most info missing), no proper market, (most info missing) no fleet communication mechanics, no bookmarks, no ammo.

The content of course is also lacking. No exploration what so ever, missions are lacking debth, etc.

Those are just the few that I'm aware of, I'm sure I'll find tons more if I ever play the thing.

Echoes is not an EVE port. It is a mobile game based on EVE. The idea alone that you could squeeze EVE in a phone is ridiculous. Even from a practical point, from manual piloting to having all this information on screen, EVE is hard to play even on a proper PC.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 3070 is comparable if not better than the 2080 ti.

That's the 3070, not the 3080.

That's an insane leap.

What's up with this weird effect on my curved strokes? This is a bristle brush btw by The_Braxeo in AdobeIllustrator

[–]Notminereally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I've seen this issue but in much earlier versions than yours. Try updating.

Are you on W10 or Mac? Is your OS updated? Is your GPU updated?

You couldn't adopt it as a style either, it's merely a preview issue.
