> returning to / relearning such heavyweights as Elite Dangerous and Eve Online
I just moved house and finally dug out my thrustmaster for a bit of E:D action, though I do find it a wee bit "grindy". I've also been toying with re-activating my paid-for Eve accounts and seeking out my old corp. The problem with Eve though is that it becomes all consuming. One minute it's 6pm on a Friday evening, in a flash it's suddenly 9am on a Sunday morning.

- mcv 8y agoE:D grindy? I got to Dangerous or Deadly on the original Elite. That's grindy. But we loved it anyway because there was nothing like it. I did play Eve around the time of the Beta and for a while after release. Set it to train a skill while I was sleeping, set it to another skill in the morning, and then played a couple of hours when I got home from work. Then I realised I already had a job.
