EVE Online: Perma Boost Raven
by Cabal on Jul.29, 2009, under General Bitching
This is sort of addendum to my previous post, I had a lot of negative feedback on using capacitor flux coils on the setup. I think most of the confusion revolved around flux coils being confused with capacitor power relays. Both modules have bonuses to to capacitor recharge, but relays have a shield boost drawback, which is counter productive on a active shield tank. Flux coils have a maximum capacitor capacity drawback, which is offset with positive gain to peak capacitor regeneration rate.
EVE Online: Module Requirement Weirdness

What The Fuck is this shit?
What kind of idiot do they think will buy and fit a more expensive, less effective, top named T1 module over the more readily available and effective T2 part if the skill prerequisites are the same? Srsly, wtf?
Another Brick in the (Facebook) Wall
by Cabal on Jul.24, 2009, under General Bitching
Some interesting goings on in Facebook land today. My wife is telling me that an ongoing semi humorous, semi serious conversation about whether animals have souls or not; that was taking place on a friends wall, has all but been deleted. It’s all a little to suspicious to be a random (and ongoing) technical glitch, that specifically affected a post with religious overtones.
Of course everyone piled on the wall in question to make comments on any potential censorship, and those comments have disappeared as well.
Naturally I told my wife to post on her wall wondering when the SS were going to come round her up for her dissident thinking. I am nothing if not vitriolic and predictable.
Do they like all the negative media attention over there? I just have to wonder when all the fuck ups will stop. I’ll write more later if there is anything more to tell.
EVE Mineral Rustling
by Cabal on Jul.23, 2009, under General Bitching
Don’t you love Jet Can tippers? I know I do. They always have shiny expensive ships and nothing better to do then waste everyone’s time. I had a run in with one today. He warped in on the belt I mining in, and proceeded to approach me. I immediately filled my Retriever’s hold, and docked with the station I was aligned on.
Upon coming back to the same spot in my hauler, my can had been replaced by his, and he was sitting there in a Nano Curse, orbiting the can at 8KM.
After waiting him out for 10 minutes, I decided that if he pops my hauler I don’t care, I want my fucking ore back. So I found an asteroid on a straight line drawn from a station, and his can. I approached that rock and when ready, aligned to station to “keep the motor running” as it were. As soon as I hit 1500 meters from the can, I opened it, took the ore (and his place holder he used to create said can, more on this in a bit), immediately selected the aligned station, and mashed the dock button.
I was instantly at warp and safely away before he could activate webs on me.
I did feel bad about stealing his place holder, so I did up a contract so that he could get it back…
Lol, I’m such a stubborn dick.
EVE Online: Targeted Marketing

No it’s not a new skill or certification, apparantly, Tim Hortons thinks they have something unique to offer the Pod Pilots of New Eden. Check it out.
I wonder if CCP or Tim Hortons is looking for a marketing liason…

Road Rage
by Cabal on Jul.21, 2009, under General Bitching
I like to think I am a pretty decent driver. I don’t run into stuff, I don’t kill people, and I mind other people using the road along with me. That said, I can be an angry, angry driver. Mostly this is because a large number of other drivers in this city embody none of the things I just mentioned.
Case in point there was a younger guy in an orange Pontiac G6 (this should almost be enough commentary on the quality of driver) on the way to work this morning. While his driving was acceptable, he gets negative 3 hojillion in the “Not a Douche Bag Fuck Face” category. This is due to his insistence that the world, is in fact, his fucking ashtray. Yes, god forbid you sully your Pontiac G-fucking-6 with your filthy habit.
On to the ranty bit, guess what Mr. Bag did with his ashes and butt? Flicked them out the window of course… Where they impacted the hood and windshield of my newly washed 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. After the 3rd full cigarette butt hit my windshield, I dropped the car into 4 and pulled along side, rolled my window down, and let him know that:
HEY! Bitch tits! If I see you throw one more of those fucking things out your window, you’re DONE.
Not having anything intelligent to say to defend himself (or in general for that matter), he wisely said nothing, rolled up his window, and slid back in traffic.
Don’t want butts and ash in your car? Here is an idea; DON’T SMOKE IN IT THEN! Nobody else wants to deal with your habit.

This is from a few Christmases back, when I could still own a tree. And yes, that is my cat. *long suffering sigh*
