I've been chewed up and shit out by EVE so many times... I just can't care anymore. If you love it, good on ya, but damn, the universe is a brutal, unforgiving hellscape.

Spreadsheets in space. I dunno, I never got into the combat, but I did like role playing a solo miner and sold to many corps the raw materials needed for their nonsense. Once I could pay for my sub with ISK I was done. It became a second job and definitely not fun any more.
