EVE General Discussion

Edit: Adding reading guide quote.



I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.

Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary.
I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done.
I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment.
I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction.
People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.

So what is next?
I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.

Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?

Sound advice. I had my own operation in a group of entrepreneurs. In hind sight, I should have delegated more, however, it was utter drudgery. I need to find something that interests me before I try to make a business around it, again.

Thanks, started with JKA Karate as a child, did Okinawa Karate-do, Jujitsu, then moved on to Thai Kick-boxing, Kenjitsu and Rei-Thai-Chi. I find they put me in the "right" frame of mind when I do 30 minutes practice or kata in the mornings.

I say if you are going to stick with eve get out and join some random corp/alliance in null, just go for it, who cares right? have fun, see the verse, then decide.

OP: You have the advanced stages of Hipsteritis. There's no real cure once the disease progresses to this stage except join the army and get involved in a war. Then you will see how precious your life is and stop wasting it on retrospectives.

Join the marines go to iraq, if that doesnt get the blood pumping you are already dead hehe.

Poor little rich kid, maybe try charity work or something that helps others.

I live in England, what alternative community are you talking about?

Failing that bleat on the forums.

BJJ / Muaythai is the end game of Martial Arts, but I guess you don't need the end game if you are just using it to beat up unarmed elderly civilians and children across the border....

Also why edit out your HATE of SEX from the OP?

Is your Narcissism so strong that you had to remove that comment from the opening because it was tarnishing the image you were trying to portray?

I thought some one on your intellectual plane, would be above the thoughts and opinions of others and stick with there values and statements....

I guess you was just trying to stretch your EPEEN out?

Careful, I think your inferiority complex is starting to show through.

South Africa is a dangerous place. I have gambled with my life and although the adrenalin rush did make me feel alive, I stopped when I threw someone off a balcony. Shook me that I could have killed them and the fact I lost control to that extent.

Thanks for the laugh.

I have worked with deaf children in one place. It was hilarious the one time to see a government appointed teacher yelling at them louder and louder, while they are talking to each other in sign language saying from what I could gather that they didn't understand what this person was doing, they are confused and they think the teacher is crazy. I also helped at a school for the physically and mentally handicapped from poor backgrounds, they had to be all three to be admitted there.

I found that I didn't care. I also realised that we believe in evolution, yet we make such efforts to keep the dim and the feeble alive and breeding.

I do take RSPCA dogs for a walk and found that my time at the Oceanarium was better than dealing with the handicapped, even if most of the time was spent cleaning out the penguin cages. At least with animals, they [hmm.. not sure how to put it] don't have the same control of the situation / parents aren't in some way responsible / there are less of them / they aren't as "sentient"

As for the alternative community, that is easy enough to work out from the context of those posts.

What a strange and overly long ragequit post. And your boredom of topical debate and sharing social interests says more about you than it does about them
