  • I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).

    I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.

    Hello, Y2K called, this is literally what caused it. Years stored in 2-digits had to be fixed on every computer on the planet before the calendar rolled to 2000. (People thought nukes would fly, glitches would crash the stock market and the world was going to end)

    This is exactly what happened for my favorite tech support call of all time was. Worked support for a biotech firm and the site director and his EA went to some conference out of state. Went out of my way to make sure nothing would expire and they could use the VPN, usual due diligence and such. Get a very paniced call on the last day and they say there is nothing wrong, but the EA was freaking out as a ton of nerds in costume just showed up. I did some digging about the venue and found out it was the same con I attended in high school.

    Spent the next while explaining what anime and anime conventions were to a very eastern-european middle-aged woman and her boss. Oh the tales of tech support.







  • I call mine “The Magic Murder bag” in reference to venture bros.

    It contains mostly tools, a towel, emergency rations, many power adapters, and personal tech. Noone else is allowed to touch it and its never more than 15 feet away from my person.

    Ive also had several bags attempt to fill its role, but its only gotten heavier and only holds up to the weight for a few years. This version is a heavy duty messanger/laptop bag with a seatbelt (and buckle) as the strap.
