Eternal Friday
Today is Friday: end of the work week, heralding a few days of relaxation, recuperation, and recreation.
And today marks the beginning of an eternal Friday for me in EVE Online. From here on out, I will once again treat this game like I should: as a hobby to recharge myself and escape a little bit from the harsh reality that is meatspace.
Resolved: never to do anything in EVE that feels like work.
This means not slaving away to log in and check production jobs or planetary production networks, even though I may still engage in S&I. It means I do what I want to do, when I want to do it, with folks I like. It means I won’t feel obligated to do anything other than play by the rules.
No more treating EVE as a second job. No more feeling awkward as I have to choose between what I want to do and what I feel like I should do.
Time to relax.

I desire for every pilot in New Eden to have this revelation. I started having way more fun when I became aware of my slave status. I would have even more fun if those in my chosen alliance achieved enlightenment.

Amen brother. I also came to this revelation after Eve started beating me about the head and face, since then it has been much better. And more fun. Enjoy the continuing path to enlightenment and pixel peace.
