Ahh, greetings once more! Lurm the Slurm is here now and all is as it should be once more. This old Slurm attended the 2025 Frigate Free For All in Omomoko and made their presence known to everyone as often as was possible.

The end result? A period of time to be remembered fondly by all that attended, and missed sorely by those that did not.

Witness below, if you will, the recapitulation of said event in all its glorious details.

I've included all the tags on both X and YouTube. Thanks once more for all that you guys here at Just do, and enjoy! <3

Pochven is by far my favourite part of space in New Eden so I had to do a timelapse of it! There are so many beautiful anomalies, celestials, and obviously wrecks, watch my video to see just a few of them in motion!

I've tagged Just on both YouTube and X as well.

It is no secret that Pochven is more than likely my favourite place in New Eden, and it also produces some of the best screenshots by far. The Pochven wormhome designs are just so damn cool, basically nothing comes close. The Astero is also more than likely my favourite ship right now, so that's a win-win :D

Ahhh, greetings fellow citizens of this space! I am Lurm the Slurm and I am here to tell you that your communication windows should be sized to at least half your HUD space at a minimum. The real game is, after all, played in local chat!

Seriously, though, local chat and player run chat channels are in my mind the lifeblood of the game and one of the main reasons the game feels as live as it does. This includes the local chat box itself, and then the players in the chat and their names and portraits. It truly is at the heart of all things in EVE. The feeling of jumping into a system on your way to rob its ESS and seeing no one. The quickening of the pulse when you see a name pop up in wormhole space or Pochven. The pride and joy that comes from the 'gf' given to you by someone you've just managed to defeat in honorable, or dishonorable combat. The deal or deed you've been hunting for being requested or posted in Jita 4-4. That private communication or mail from an old friend inviting you to join them on their glorious adventure once more.

There's nothing else like it and there's no way anyone would be able to convince me it is merely a 'tool for gathering intelligence'. While I believe that is true, I also believe it is just so much more to so many people. I was SHOCKED to hear that some people have local chat minimized, or have portraits hidden, or have it so small that they can't even see a single sentence in it...

...I just cannot believe it.

The real game is played in local chat!

I am going to take my chance and shout myself out because the more eyes I can get on roleplaying in EVE Online the better.

Soon after I started playing, a few months ago as I am still relatively new, I took to the local chat of Ahbazon to try and keep myself alive. Despite all the odds being stacked against me I managed to sweet talk my way into the good books of the locals and 2 billion ISK.

It remains to this day one of my fondest memories of my time playing and I love that it proves that EVE Online really is the ultimate sandbox game. Anything is possible, even making ISK per hour beyond your wildest dreams using nothing but your words.

Get out there, my dudes, undock those ships and interact with your fellow pilots in any way, shape, or form that you can! <3

The true end boss is fought before the game even begins.

Honestly the SKINR system is pretty fantastic. I did not expect the randomiser to actually deliver good and usable skins!
