Is it? Maybe I'll give it a shot. I have a hard time playing games where I'm forced to play as a female protagonist. Not out of any "anti-woke" stuff or anything like that, I just prefer to be able to create a character and it sort of takes me out of the game when they force me to play a female char.

eve online always fascinated me

never played it, but heard about some battles that consumed literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of resources

very unique game

Im about halfway through, it's incredibly well made. The graphics are crazy good.

The woke stuff, is not, not there. Like I definitely was like, "is there going to be any male characters in this game??"

Eventually you meet one though.

The AI is terrible and easy to defeat like, it's not a hard game at all. Im getting a little board of running errands and finding data pads over and over.

On PC the controls are like playing everquest.

Would make a great everquest style SW game if you could delete all the story and just make it open world loot hunter.

it's not a very "fun" game but it's without a doubt the most insane social experiment in the history of the internet.

the actual interesting part of the dumb fuck sandbox game is the spycraft elements that were on the levels akin to the cold war.

just one example, an important dude got hacked in rl and his sexuality was used as blackmail to effect ingame politics and help in an ingame war, the community's response to this dude being forced out of the closest was a play on "no I'm Spartus"

another is, you remember Benghazi? a very famous guy ingame got killed that night to give you an idea of the types of people playing Eve

edit:


edit 2: only trailer that kinda shows what eve is actually like

Eve is a very slow pace until it isn't. It's mostly afk time though from what I remember mining rocks and hauling.

you ever fight in any of the wars? I used to just spectate from highsec rooting against the goons, unwilling to go through the rectal examination to join a nullsec corp.

then the meta of weaponizing newbros came to be i joined Pandemic Horde with the lack recruitment standards and no monthly kill minimums to participate.

was a lot of fun the shitposting on reddit and war propaganda, podcasts, the Alliance Tournament..etc that's what i enjoyed it was like Top guild drama here on p99 but with 50,000 fucking people


this shit meant more to me than any Superbowl or political election.

Those comms ARE absolutely fantastic.

those dudes used to do a podcast. i'd to listen to it while mining rocks as a newb in eve. it's fucking hilarious. i knew i made it in Eve when i got invited to OG(Other Games) mumble where they hung out and recorded the episodes
