I liked the capsule hotel I stayed at when I was in Kyoto Would definitely be down for doing that again instead of shelling out for a proper hotel room, at least for a few nights
Personally I'd definitely prefer it to be less... cloudbased, though I'd rather have all that data on my own private box or something But then they can't sell me a subscription, i guess

>>1103057 maybe it can uplink anno some better firmware upgrade.
S C
700 bucks for the whole thing is absurdly cheap though I thought at least double that would be the starting price
I mean the ads are less of an issue than the idea of having literally all the shit this thing uses to provide its services be shunted onto some corporation's servers Like oh yeah if you want it to be able to search through your messages for the password to this thing, that necessarily means this corporation has that password and that's Good
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah there will have to be some open source clones of this with a dedicated home box
S C
I really do like the idea of it, but I don't want one if it's not local storage They can ship me ads if they want, but I don't want to give them my search and message history
S C
hell why can't it just connect to my phone directly? why does it gotta be an alternative to my phone when it can just be connected to my phone? I'll be carrying my phone anyway because phones do a LOT more than be phones now
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
theres a lot of people out there who want to cut the cord and not be tempted every moment to look at youtube or instagram if this thing could call ubers and provide directions it'd be a solid replacement
I dunno the voice-based interface has to be absurdly robust for it to even begin to replace a phone entirely anyone who's ever tried using google voice or cortana or something knows damn well voice-only interfacing with tech is an insane hassle for anything at all precise
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah the last gen voice assistants are pure ass but i chat to chatgpt sometimes and it's pretty good like, being able to ask for just the info you wanted without opening the phone and navigating around to find it is the idea
>>1103068 Yeah and I mean that's good and all But I want it to use my phone for that, so I can sometimes just... open my phone if the thing isn't doing what I want Like "call me an uber from here to <place>" and the fucking thing keeps hearing that place as somewhere else that sounds similar, so now you're fighting your machine assistant and can't win because there's no direct interface, you just gotta keep trying until it recognizes what you say correctly
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
right right yeah if the voice recognition isn't on point then the product is worthless
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i've used meta's Whisper model, on my server, it's really good it recognizes not only slurred speech, but it also outputs stuff like [background music] or [clattering]
that and while I'm sure some people do wanna cut out their phone from their life, that is not me I like having my phone, I would carry my phone anyway because the stuff other people wanna ditch it for, I actually like and then I don't gotta upload my whole digital history onto a corporate server and hope it won't get hacked (which it will because that's an enormous treasure trove of data just waiting for whoever wants it)
yeah i wouldn't buy this product for the same reasons but maybe 3 or 5 years down the line i'll be using some open source version and carry around a book if i really want something to look at much better than my current distracted life of doomscrolling on X every hour
S C
if they provide a alternative product that just uses your phone or local server or something, I'd consider it Cause it is fucking cool
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

I'm gonna make myself a proper Mothership that isn't abhorrently large, but more reasonably sized, kitted out with like 8 triple mortars on top It won't be the kind of ship that goes to war on its own, but it can hang out in the back and just melt shit at 30KM range While smaller combat ships get in the shit and actually deal with the moment to moment combat
it's pretty cool how when you set a ship to do work like mining or salvaging in an area in Avorion, they don't just despawn and generate stuff under the hood They're actually in the universe still, so sometimes they'll pop in when you're around
of course the AI isn't entirely perfect so they interpret this as you monitoring them when I'm just chilling in my home sector and this guy showed up doing his job Bro I'm just out here wasting time as my econ ticks away, I'm not monitoring you

well, astrox got boring real fast I dunno if there's really like, anything to do beyond simply make money forever in it which is fine for an early access game I guess, but it just sorta... doesn't seem I have any real reason to go beyond a handful of very safe, very profitable trade routes
Even pirates have only been an issue when I've directly engaged them, and as long as I run the afterburners I can go anywhere I want without worries Just kinda hollow
S C
I guess that is an issue a lot of sandbox games end up having, but like, the interface is clunky enough that it ends up feeling a bit of a hassle
So you've got a combination of there not being a real reason to go beyond a very thin slice of the game, and even if you do for the hell of it, you have to actively try to be punished for it danger wise Weh

well it's unwritten part of your job, probably anyway this guy was such a manlet and my friend is slightly above average height that he had to jump and still completely miss the target also he had rings on which is super lame
>>1103369 Yeah but explain to me why they couldn't just charge him with something like 'assault causing grievous bodily harm' which can carry like a 25 year sentence
I'm just sayin the mechanisms were already there to charge people without special laws pushed through by politicians in response to a media panic.
and it's not necessarily the role of law to be hastily adapted based on the whims of MPs that want to be seen to be taking action for the sake of their own public image.
>>1103372 >Yeah but explain to me why they couldn't just charge him with something like 'assault causing grievous bodily harm' which can carry like a 25 year sentence if I were to hazard a guess your average joe when presented with murder/manslaughter like they've been lead to believe or grevious bodily harm would probably pick the harsher sentence

not even good tomorrow I will need to venture to the shop and get a buncha food I don't like having to leave the house, so I prefer stocking up a lot at once Both because that way I don't have to leave to buy more in a while, and also because sometimes, like lately, I have these long-lasting real bad mental episodes where I REALLY don't wanna leave the house So I just start digging through my reserves I mean for food today I just fried up some stuff I'm pretty sure is supposed to be like, accompanying a more complete meal
Just bad tastes like it wasn't cooked kinda texture's alright, all things considered, but I'm not eating 'em
Anno
yeha that's a writeoff hope you got a backup meal for today at least

I already ate enough to make it fine I'll give the cold ones a try when they finish thawing entirely just to see if they just got screwed up by the reheating, but it's not like I'm super hungry But I'm also out of food now, so I'll have to go get some Probably just a lotta frozen stuff, again so I can weather these episodes of prolonged asocial mood

bro there's even GAMBA in EVE Playermade fucking lotteries It's RAFFLES ALL OVER AGAIN BABY
Anno
Never doubt the human capacity to lust for gambling
S C
Some of these gambas have BIG payouts too Sure the chances of winning are slim, but I mean, a 1/500 chance of generating 1/5th of the cost of a month of Omega for a single trading run's worth of ISK is a really easy sell
Anno
1/500 are pretty good gambling odds to my gacha-rotted brain
yeah I mean it's actually not all that bad It's a player-made gamba market too, so the return is kinda forced to be in a good spot for what a ticket costs Cause when you make a gamba, you do want to sell all the tickets I think it happens either way, so if it's a stinky return and only like 10 people buy tickets but you set it at 500 max tickets, it still rolls with those 10 and you just get those 10 tickets' worth of money
there are some newer ESP32s that use RISC-V but i think the ones i'm getting are the old versions with xtensa chips

I wonder if they're ever adding player-made stargates to EVE That'd be wild shit Corporate owned stargates connecting systems that were previously close in space but distant in terms of jumps
My corporation's boss, which really is just like... basically one of the other 8 members of the corporation but who cares right, anyway one of the ways he's keeping the wheels turning in the corporation is he'll buy whatever ore we've got, from wherever, at Jita's buy order price, which is ALMOST the same as the sell order price cause it's like the number one trade hub in the game And I think I might be able to get some yield there without even mining by just putting up massive buy orders in places far from the central hubs, and when they get filled out, I sell it on to the boss man Sure I COULD obviously just go and haul that shit back to jita to sell myself, but that takes a lotta time and is a pain in the ass I'm gonna look into the margins on that tomorrow You can usually buy stuff for a fair bit cheaper out in the boonies because well, it's a pain to haul it back and when you're only gonna be making a few additional percentages on it, it's often just better money per hour to sell it off and get back to mining, just cause the round trip eats into time you could spend mining far more than those few percentages Could be a good gig I don't have too much capital right now, but it's worth looking into stuff like this Even better, compressed ore, while identical in all ways except volume, comes at a markup on the market, for reasons I can't exactly say I understand You'd think it'd be the same So if I buy it uncompressed, and then compress it before selling it on, I can make even fatter stacks
EVE Online really tickles the little capitalist goblin in my brain

The main things I gotta look into is obviously just the possible flat margin on that shit, it's gotta cover the broker fee for the contract at bare minimum, and also the cost of compression, if there is a cost to compress If compression costs ISK, that has to be factored in And if it's too much, it'll have to wait until I get a ship that can compress on its own, and I'll just use that The fact that's possible makes me think there is no cost to compression though

that and they're good places to make some connections One guy in this fleet is gonna need some haulers in not too too long, so I'm on the list of people he'll contact when that time comes, that oughta be a good payout I'm speccing into that kinda stuff either way, yknow, so

so drenched in gravy or something? what makes them even different from loaded fries anyway, fries are potats

The sauce on loaded fries would probably be more like a burger secret sauce, or something more in that line If you made loaded fries with gravy you'd be closer to the Canadian poutine, you'd just be missing the cheese curds

the US is very impressive because it has both a meth crisis AND an obesity crisis at the same time You'd think those cancelled out

Chartered a boat out side the bay, took the grandfather fishing. Was a great experiance. We caught a lilte toss back shark. Little* We owuld have enjoted it more had more of of our family been there, I would have like that.
>>1103769 Look, mate. If you had been keeping up with the Marsh-chan lore, you would know I have been off work the past couple of days sick. Its been a rollercoaster full of twists and turns.
anyway in other news Did some back of the envelope maths, and if I do 4.5hrs of kernite mining for a month, I can pay for a month of omega and mining is very chill Of course, some time is inevitably added by getting ganked and there's some time used in transporting it to a system where the CEO will buy it off me
What's fucked up is resource-wise, Hemorphite is actually worth more, but he uses Jita prices which means specifically baseline Kernite, uncompressed, is the best money\time If I compress it I lose like 60% of the value or something, but with veldspar it ADDS 10% But veldspar is highsec shit, not worth it
S C
of course I get my procurer license in like 2-3 days, so things will go faster then but I'll only get to keep it for like 2 days so I really gotta grind at that point
Eve's slow period is in the morning for me too, which is very helpful Peak players is around 30K, but it's at like 10K in the mornings for me Which is good cause less players is less gankers
besides there are so many systems in EVE, even at 30K players it's very little chance your particular mining site will be targeted And you can usually get out before problems arrive if you're paying attention
If I but hemorphite at Dodixie and haul it to Jita, I can make some serious bank it turns out It's a commodity that moves like crazy, so selling and buying it isn't a big issue, and the margins are like 15% to like, 40ish % depending on whether I compress it No compression, higher margin for whatever reason, but obviously hauling takes longer that way But on the other hand, I can contract out the hauling, which while it eats into my total profits will let me get shit moving faster
S C
in any case, I put down the buy order so now I just gotta wait for someone to fill it
I'm steadily learning new EVE skills For example, I can drastically cut down the time it takes me to enter warp by toggling afterburners on and off, because warp engages when you're at 75% max speed, which afterburners increase when they're engaged, but they also engage way faster So if your ship takes longer to reach that speed than the afterburner takes to cycle, you can really cut it down
My hauling ship uses like, 12 seconds or something to achieve that speed normally, but the afterburners cycle in 8.5s, so I cut off nearly a third that way Helpful both for just moving faster and saving time, and for getting out of a sticky situation
S C
I'm also learning that I can further increase my safety by scattering warp points in key locations where I'll be traveling A warp point on top of the stargate, on top of the station I'm docking at, 200KM out from the stargate for faster alignment, that sorta stuff It's not super relevant at the current stage since my cargo's rarely worth more than like 25m, but I like this hauling stuff so I'm probably gonna be speccing into that alongside mining, unless pvp\guard duty is more up my alley besides, being competent at hauling is always gonna be a good thing in an economy-focused game like EVE
I am pretty curious about the pvp stuff though Honestly it might be more my speed to protect the mining fleet and just get paid ISK outright for my time than actually doing the mining No need to worry about keeping stuff targeted and mining the best ore, just point and shoot if someone shows up to bother us PvP also just seems fun, and it would allow me to get into some piracy of my own I can be the rat bastard who destroys a hauler and grabs all the money, rather than the hauler

>>1103858 Still not quite right, fumo is more of a "foo" Pho is like, the sound at the start of "fuck", just clipped real quick It's a very short sound
S C
I already suggested a system for compensating the guard dogs to the CEO and he seemed to like it, so all that needs to be done is finding a good rate Which mostly comes down to tweaking buy in costs for the fleet members, though with corporate fleets, probably the corporation itself can foot the bill using the profits the fleets generate for the corporation

Maybe the pills are working It feels so up and down Sometimes I feel more resilient, other times more fragile But I keep taking them

Antidepressants usually heighten all emotions, not just the good or comforting ones Part of the treatment for depression involves therapy for this purpose, as you adjust to experiencing this broader emotional range, therapy is supposed to help you handle these moments that you might've forgotten how to healthily process over the course of struggling with depression
S C
I thought they eere only supposed to do that initially If this wild swinging is gonna be the norm I don't wanna It's so up wnd down
Sometimes I handle things better, sometimes I handle things way worse And I feel i obsess more about being abnormal after starting with these things

found a GOOD profit margin opportunity, gonna crank that for what it's got Buy Hemorphite in Amarr (roughly 15-19M per haul) Sell to CEO for ~25M per haul, or go all the way to Jita for even more, like 31M Depends which is faster

are you busting out the excel spreadsheets yet
S C
not yet I don't have the money for that to be worthwhile yet, but I'll probably become a spreadsheet enjoyer sooner or later Not that I know how to work a spreadsheet
S C
I'm gonna basically abuse this jita price thing the CEO has going on for massive profits I think his intent is for the corp employees to MINE it, but uuuuh fuck that cause buying it is faster and I think at least at my current state it's better money per timetick Way safer too
S C
it sends me through a lot of lowsec, but I'm just gonna take my chances, probably set up a good route Which basically involves scoping out the whole path between the two points and putting down waypoints I can jump to without having to align

...I just don't understand the eve market Kernite and Compressed Kernite are equal in ALL ways They give the same matierals when reprocessed per unit, which really is all you use those things for BUT Compressed Kernite goes for like half what Kernite does I mean yeah I get it's because it's easier to haul cause it's 1% of the volume, but why do people buy the uncompressed stuff then
I'm gonna have to take the financial reigns on this corporation or we're gonna bleed money
S C
Like it's fine if we're bleeding money to other members, that's just good for morale But we can't be bleeding money out to random non-members, we're just gonna eat ourselves alive that way
people who rename jpgs to have the pbg extension should be drawn and quartered but also maybe people who write software that throws an error when hit with one of these renamed files should he *be punished too
I have acquired additional knowledge EVERY ship has a directional scanner, it's not a piece of equipment Which means I can always keep an eye on my surroundings while mining, significantly improving my survival chances
S C
this system has most of the mining fields less than the scanners range from the stargates, too, so basically I can just scan when someone pops off, and if it's a dangerous ship, I can start getting antsy But until then, no worries They can't hop into a different ship in this system either, there are no stations
drinking all good, but it can cause more probs then it's worth at times. Theres a variety of good good drinks thoe, commercial bottled spirits are just not the same qauility as they used to be.
I am And I probably will become a spreadsheet enjoyer I'm trying to work my way into the position of accountant for this corporation, get the wheels to turn smoothly and make passive income that way
You could say I'm winning, I just massively cut down on how much mining I'll have to do per day
Once the corp makes good bank, being the accountant will give me a lot of options managing prices we pay for stuff, what we sell stuff for, how much employees get as a bonus, giving myself and the CEO a salary, lotta good stuff
S C
damn this procurer really harvest ore super fast making way more than before
S C
though, the potential of losing it is now way more nerve wrecking damn thing costs 70m, and that's nearly what I need to make per day in a month
it's also very expensive It's very scary to use this thing to mine in lowsec, but I gotta make bank

Oh now I remember It wasn't even a question, I just wanted to gush about how they brought back a track from Initial D in the latest MF Ghost episode God they're handling this show so well
I have assumed direct control of the company finances I will make this fucking thing produce profit so help me god Younger me would just extract the money currently in the wallet and run Current me knows better For one, I actually want this thing to succeed, but perhaps more importantly is I just know more, such as "There's no shot all the available funds are in the wallet immediately after I'm handed control"
S C
it's a change in both knowledge and mindset I don't want to just take the money and run, but also I know if I were gonna do that, now would not be the ideal moment
we're positioned in a sector with a lotta veldspar, and frequent mining fleets (some run by the CEO himself) And since we own the station, we can undercut the price for it to buy it below market rate >>1104034 Well yes But I used to take more enjoyment in the thrill of the kill than the actual benefit I got Scamming people in video games was a game unto itself, I didn't even necessarily care that much how much I got out of it
I'd say that sort of thing has taught me some people skills, which it might, but let's be real, I wouldn't acknowledge those if you put a gun to my head

One annoying thing is that now that I have actually become the corporation, defrauding the corporation is no longer a meaningful way to make my money

By the time you're done with your EVE hyperfixation you might as well put accounting on your resumé You're probably getting more practical experience than anyone going to school for it gets
S C
well not yet I'm not, but I mean, I'm gonna have to put in work to make sure we're green Because if we're not green, we can't pay the accountant, and that's not good cause the accountant is me
Anno
Then you'll get to slap business management on those applicable skills list too!
S C
well I mean ultimately this is a video game, and while it has the vocabulary and aesthetics of business, it is ultimately like calling a WoW guild a business
S C
the main thing setting eve apart I think is the economy is a lot more mature, owing to basically every aspect of the game being centered around it, you' re not doing stuff in EVE for EXP or some other junk like that, other than occasional dailies for some slight amount of skill points You're doing it for ISK, or stuff you can sell for ISK If you're buying something, anything except a handful of useless items, someone else in the game made that shit, someone mined the materials to make it

>>1104043 You say that, but I've heard testimony from people who put stuff like MMO guild management on their resumé or talk about it in interviews Because the social management and administration skills -do- transfer over You might need to sell it a bit harder than a more traditional "unemployed" practical experience of management like running a school club or something along those lines, but as long as you don't make it sound like you're a video game addict who will endanger their work quality being unable to tear yourself away from gaming, there are definitely employers who could appreciate those skills
S C
I guess so I dunno though, it seems like the kinda stuff that's just like, easy enough to do, it's just unfun for most people Managing raid groups and stuff, that's hard, but just making sure we're not spending more than we take in is just a matter of running numbers
>>1104047 Most jobs are just the easy things which are unfun for most people to do So those who can enjoy them get paid to do them, or at least tolerate them
S C
I dunno if that's true but maybe It's not really like I have the rest of the qualifications that'd go with a job where any of this would be relevant though My formal education is about none and my informal education is none so But I'm not playing eve to get a job anywho, that'd be stupid
The head monk at my temple invited me to an interfaith community meeting. I went wearing robes. When I got there, I called the head monk and got no answer. Three times. So I figured I'd wait inside. They go, "oh, clergy goes over there" so I thought all the religious leaders in the community were just going to chat and network there. I get over there and someone is like "get ready to go on stage!" and before i can figure out whats going on, we're all walking out into the sanctuary. Next thing I know, I'm on a stage in front of 500 strangers. Everyone obviously knows what's going on except for me. Everything has been rehearsed. Everyone is singing, and I'm the only one on stage that doesn't know the lyrics. There's even a song in Hebrew that people know the lyrics to. People keep going up to the podium to give speeches and I'm sitting there, terrified that they're going to call on me to speak. I have no idea what's going on. I'm like, obviously not supposed to be there and this is a case of mistaken identity. They do this thing where we all stand up to light candles and I knock one over because I'm freaking it It's fine but like still Finally it fucking ends after an hour of this. Everyone on stage spoke except for me. I rush off the stage when people start to walk off and I see someone pointing. I thank them, but it turns out they're actually a sign language interpreter.
All of it was filmed and in front of the religious leaders of our county.
A cop came up to me and asked me what I was representing (referring to my robes) and I was like, "i'm a buddhist monk, what about you" asking about his religion because this is an interfaith thing and he like looked me up and down suspiciously and said "i'm a police officer"
the corp needs members dangit but I'm no good at recruiting, and my activities aren't ones that make it easy to recruit, so I gotta rely on the CEO for that he did just juice the wallet so it turns out we've got a lot of funds to play with and we're gonna be setting up a market in our station, which should allow us to start printing a little money by undercutting the nearby trade hub
What's important is making money per time tick, not necessarily per transaction, so as long as we're green we can cut the price down quite a bit

like who cares if you cranked out another million ISK on this one item, if it took you twice as long to sell it for 9M than it would to sell for 8M, and you're making 5M profit either way? You gotta move it so you can reinvest that capital, can't be chasing max margins unless you're already hilariously rich, and by then you don't have a reason to chase max margins, and you've gotten into a rhythm anyway

chat server has been real unstable ever since last maintenance
S C
which overall isn't a massive issue, it's MMO chat, not the most used feature But local chat is crucial because it tells you who and how many are in the system with you So when chat isn't updating, you could get ganked randomly by people who shouldn't even be in the sector
