Pest-ilence of jewel tone beetle(-borg IYKYK). The Succubus is a cute little frigate and I thought it is perfect for this challenge!

Design movements from the past tend to be my most favorite, so I love the late Mid Century aethetic of the Nestor. Very much reminds me of the space ship in 2001: a Space Odyssey especially with the rotating wheel!

one of the variations of Mordunium is Plum which is the pun as intended. Truly thought I was going to bring in 100s of millions of ISK according to the in game estimated price, but sadly the price value in Jita was a tiny fraction and it was high sell low buy so I got stuck with 85% of Jita split (average between buy and sell) for my corps buyback (saving my other Mordunium variant so I can compress and move to Jita).

One of my favorite shots I’ve taken so far in Eve.

This is more my role in the EVE universe and I find it immensely fun and engaging. I get to be a finance bro, while working in public health and trying to save the world during the day. I am on a sort of summer break, it seems (real life always takes priority) so haven't updated the blog in about a month and a half. But excited for a new project, so perhaps I'll be back earlier.

Philip Glass is one of those classical composers that really blends into New Eden well given his work with the synthesizer that lends a futuristic feel of his work for films like Koyaanisqatsi and his radical Einstein on the Beach opera, really pushing the boundaries about the future of classical music and composition. Also the EVE bgm is also very similar to his work (and perhaps provided the musical grammar for electronic music in general (though it would be remiss of me to not include Wendy Carlos in the conversation about electronic music and imagining the “future” )). Sorry for the long lecture but Glass continues to be one of my favorites 15 years later after first hearing them.

Do note this is in fact the same image as the one I submitted for the screenshot contest, but the station was similar to the building on the cover of the film

Remember the evil clowns of 2016?

Lol I’m quite partial to clowns as I wanted to go to Clown College when I was a kid, but sadly it closed when I was 9

I don’t love PvP and really need to learn. So when and if I PvP outside of getting ganked while mining, exploring, and hacking, I, of course want Flight of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now but really it’s going to be more Benny Hill than anything.

Say it with me: 👏Keep👏your👏eyes👏and👏ears👏on👏D-Scan👏

Skyscrapers in space? Most definitely. As I said, the Jita station looks like something I would find in my neck of the woods and it definitely gives me all the cozy vibes.

Caught this picture as I was trying to dock into Jita to replace some ships and well... I hit that stop button as quickly as possible when the perfect screenshot opportunity showed itself.
