EVE General Discussion

Hey buddy. Have you ever played spaceships...

Have you ever played spaceships WHILE HIGH ON WEED?!

I bow to the weedlord some crackhead stole my copy of that movie. It was in my X-box.

IRONIC ISN'T IT?

They make a booth for that.

lol I haven't seen Half Baked in years, thanks for reminding me.

This just in. I lost my left hand...

If this guy was gonna make a thread about masturbation while playing EVE, I can safely say I will no longer be in that particular demographic. Thank you, Captain Safety!

Buy high sell sober

people are risk adverse so having something that lowers ones inhibitions is a good thing for pvp...

Depends what your idea of metal depravity is, what you consider to be incoherent or nonsensical, and too which anomalous brain function you are referring I suppose.

I'm not trying to be Captain Safety here. I'm just wondering if it's really that common among EVE players in general.

I know a lot of people I've been introduced to--in one fashion or another--in this game while playing have either been fully disclosing of their particular habits while 'managing' them, (not sure how else to put that), or been obviously under the influence of something, (not necessarily alcohol or 'just' alcohol), and unafraid to admit it.

Plenty just disclose that they are drunk or drinking, while others indicate they are doing something more, and still others blatantly state that they are going to "-------". Fill in the blank with whatever. Still others act like it's the cool thing to do, (drinking primarily), and of course the Fanfest, EVE Vegas, and various other conventions, meetings, and the like are celebrated for the excessive consumption of alcohol that occurs during them with various peers and such.

Not saying it's bad to have fun and drink a bit here and there, or to go out and have a good time. I do take note of when a good time turns into something else, (as it often does), though. The problem I see, is it often does and there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent that from occurring--short of not drinking--for some people.

Is it really a good idea to promote the idea of being completely plattered?

Whatever, I drink too; just not as much as some of you and probably a lot less than most even when I drink more than I should. I generally tend to avoid more than minor consumption in public, and that's going back quite a few years since the last time I actually drank much more than I should anywhere.


edit: ..it isn't just EVE; it seems like social activities in general seem to involve a particular amount of alcohol consumption these days. Even when I was young I guess, for family, parents, neighbours, etc.. it was probably the same, and I imagine nothing has changed going back a 1000 years or more, but I still question.

I grew up with an alcoholic, so you might understand my unwillingness to give in too much to the drink. Not hereditar I think, but still potentially habit forming if you let it. Also, there is consideration for using it as a crutch to avoid whatever things are bothering you or whatever.

I'd rather face life full on.

..even when I don't like it so much.

I usually smoke a lil' weed now and then but that's because mining is so intense I need something relaxing sometimes when I'm doing it.

I enjoy Eve, I enjoy beer... I can multitask and enjoy them at the same time...
I don't see why anyone should be able to tell me that it is wrong or immoral...

Or question why I do it. I do it cause I enjoy it.

If you can't stand the way other people behave then maybe the biggest sandbox of them all isn't for you...

Only just about every day my good friend. Just like the back of a twenty dollar bill, brother, there is some crazy **** there.
