For years players have struggled to reconcile how slow Eves development is against the Devs claims to be working hard. Finally CCP Foxfour explains that CCP Devs do work very hard and demonstrates why it takes so long to produce features

Soooooo yea.... please don't get your hopes up. I really have no idea what I am doing. Mostly just smashing my face on the keyboard and some things are coming out.
Once there is at least some confirmation that things are happening I will give you guys some more details. Until now... chill. :)
Love you all! :D


CCP for some crazy Icelandic reason decided using their hands to type was too easy, they now try to code with their faces. Can we please all get back to shooting the statue until they agree to type with their hands again.

This could also explain why CCP is in such a poor financial state. We have all been blaming Dust and WoD development. It turns out the cost of replacing keyboards after being smashed by employee heads is driving the company under.

Smashing their faces against the keyboard and hoping for the best...

Perfectly explains EVEs legacy coding...

Dude. Typing with your hands is for wusses. Hardcore devs always type with their faces. Sometimes whilst punching themselves in the crotch.

What's even more hardcore is typing with someone else's face.

This might explain one or two of the new deployables.

Its seems as if half the posters on this forum use their face to type, so why not use the same tactic in the coding and development process?



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

And the puke goes in the bucket they placed between their feet.

At least now we know *why* they're banging their heads on their keyboards...

I smash my head against the keyboard when I write forum posts (and code) too, and I'm pretty fast. I use a mechanical keyboard though. Maybe Foxfour should look into that! More expensive to replace, but far more work done.

CCP smashing their faces against the keyboard certainly explains the current sov system.

The current sov system is too heavily reliant on the defender saving systems by stuffing as many people as possible into the system for the final timer, instead of incentivizing attacking (and defending) multiple systems at the same time by splitting their forces into multiple fleets and using actual intelligence/strategy. This must change.

Hm, I wonder if falcon would be willing to explain to me the finer points of this technique. It sounds useful for my work. I tried it for two minutes, but my program keeps giving me compile time errors about semi colons not being present at the end of the line. Perhaps I should switch to whitespace?
