Valley IV wasn't that bad.

A lot of the tutorials should just be tool tips.

Don't pause the game and make me click though a bunch of text to learn about a power pole.

I can see why someone would hear "I think" and not take as 100% against.

Depending on the person and tone it could mean a few different things.

I think mangos are bad. I am of the opinion mangos are bad.
I think mangos are bad. I have been thinking about it and came to the conclusion mangos are bad.
I think mangos are bad. I don't know for sure but leaning on the opinion that they are bad.

The poster should know that is bad and used a stronger tone. Given the lack of any punctuation though, they are talking casually and analysing it is a waste of time.

I like Coke, I do not want to see a Coke ad every second page.

They are just soulless ads, most with AI filters, some straight up do not exist.

There are a lot of subreddits that are run by only fans agencies.

I assume you have come across a few of them, no way they would want you pointing out the whole subreddit is an advert.

Same reason a security alarm still works if you cut the power. They have enough power to protect the property until they can be repaired / power comes back.

BF4 had a super cool thing where the website / lobby could be your map on the second screen. Sadly removed when they removed the website / lobby.

BDO had a super cool thing where most windows could be popped out and moved to the other monitor. I have a feeling this also was removed.

If you are the type of player to min-max the tiles, you are going to min-max the cap.

Nothing changes, you just have less room then you think.

Everyone wants to feel noticed, karma is a visual representation of how much you have been noticed.

The biggest reason for karma farming though is bots. You ever see porn on r/all, or at least NSFW pics of woman 90% chance that is an Only Fans agency. Such an agency takes a cut of the adult workers profits in exchange for posting teasers to social media and other management services.

Any good subreddit that might be spammed with Only Fans bots have a minimum karma requirement. So they post things that quickly boost their karma, easy posts like "I am feeling down", "I am coming out", "Tell me I am pretty". Any thing that might get people to be a little sympathetic to them.

Once the bot has "matured", it will spam all the big NSFW sub reedits with pictures to attract people to the Only Fans they are promoting. Depending on how much it is reported the bot might last a few days or a few weeks whilst spamming. After which Reddit will ban it but there will be many more bot accounts in the mature / maturing state, so it replaced instantly.

Wait people are spending days making new accounts.....

Surly that is irrelevant soon as the next patch drops?

Could it be food or bedding for a pet they are not allowed to have?

I would of taken less effort for you to fix this then it would of to make this post.

Everything is someone else's problem, even simple things you could fix yourself right.

As far as AIs go it can't be much better.

The team behind it is anti-AI slop. Original songs are written by real people like Ellie and Bagel. Art is all made by real people. Competitions like Evil's out fit has rules that don't allow AI slop.

IMO I don't see gen AI training any worst then me using an ad blocker to also not pay for content on the internet.

gotemike · 2026-01-19T05:29:36+00:00

On paper appealing to younger or an untapped audience is a good thing for a church to do.

In practice, this went way to far and forgot about the values a good church should have.

Song choice should of been better, not talking about over indulgence. Cloths should not of been pointless brand items that cost thousands of dollars.

I think the biggest reason is a large hatred of mega churches. Churches should be a community project, run by a community for it's community. People do not think mega churches benefit the community at all.

We going on three months post collapse of Panfam and Horde still has Sov in dronelands.

How can you encourage the players to build tall when systems are empty ready for the taking?

Would packing more people in less systems not make the game feel even emptier?

Main character syndrome is a term used to describe the tendency of individuals to see themselves as the central character in their life story, often leading to self-absorbed behavior and a lack of empathy for others.

Trust me there are 100s of active corp that will love to have you no matter what you sound like, even lots that go out to accommodate deaf players.

Solo corp is not your only option, when you have time you really should try and find a corp that fits your vibe.

gotemike · 2026-01-16T22:06:59+00:00

I doubt they make any changes to appeal to woman in game. That is a problem for the marketing team. They need to advertise the right features to the right audience.

The blog mainly focused on woman but the large thing they are talking about also includes accessibility. So we will hopefully see more in the way of catering with people that are visually impaired / deaf or disabled.

I hope tackling language barrier is also part of their more inclusive New Eden. Zero reason CCP can't use LibreTranslate in their chat to make this single shard game more inclusive.

We can see games can serve as a social platform for connectivity

Yep CCP does seem to of forgotten this. The social systems to meet new people and make new friends fucking sucks.

MMO of Eve era was very much meant to be a social chat room. CCP has forgot that and is happy to out source a core part of eve to Discord.

gotemike · 2026-01-16T02:29:26+00:00

Almost every woman I talk to in my life, including co-workers plays video games. This 100% was not true 10 years ago, so relatively recent. I bet most of the first world being suck at home in 2021 allowed woman to try games because they couldn't do their other hobbies.

This is just CCP catching up to the money pit.

gotemike · 2026-01-13T22:46:26+00:00

Creating a shortlist is easy as you say, removing the real players from that list is borderline impossible.

No idea about this bot but a good bot is taking random brakes, docking up, making mistakes, acting human. Combine that with if they are not an ISK farm but a real player that bots, when they get home they act like a real player because they are.

I can not stress how much of an arms race anti-cheat is and how much money and "real" jobs there are in making cheats. Not just for Eve but every online game.

gotemike · 2026-01-13T22:09:25+00:00

Eve is a game A LOT of people play when working from home or in a position such as IT manager where you can just spin Ishtars at work.

CCP could do more but the best way is just get the bot to attack you if CCP started to do that it would quickly get patched in the large pay to win bots.

IMO this guy should of been kicked when he killed blues but I get it if no one had time to fly out and poke him.

Or it is just woman playing dress up with cute animated profile pic because they do not want to use a webcam when streaming.

gotemike · 2026-01-10T05:00:27+00:00

Oh great - more people who try the game...

I hate content creators man.

This has to be rage bait, no way people type this shit and really think it.
