The EVE Online XKCD connection is a fun intersection of two communities known for their depth, complexity, and sometimes absurd humor. Here are a few notable references and connections: XKCD #277: "EVE Online" (2007) - Comic: xkcd.com/277 - Context: This classic comic depicts an EVE Online player explaining the game to a friend, culminating in the infamous line: "Im a spaceship captain." "Like Han Solo?" "No, more like a spreadsheet." - Why Its Famous: It perfectly captures EVEs reputation for complexity, spreadsheets, and the contrast between its sci-fi fantasy and its corporate/economic simulator reality. XKCD #386: "Duty Calls" (2008) - Comic: xkcd.com/386 - Connection: While not directly about EVE, this comic (featuring the "someone is wrong on the internet" meme) resonates with EVEs famously argumentative and passionate community, especially in forums like r/eve or the in-game "Local" chat. XKCD #953: "Study" (2011) - Comic: xkcd.com/953 - EVE Tie-In: The comic jokes about studying for a test by playing EVE Online instead, referencing the games steep learning curve and time-sink nature. EVE Players & XKCD Fans Overlap - Both EVE and XKCD attract analytical, technical, and often nerdy audiences. Many EVE players appreciate XKCDs humor, and vice versa. - EVEs emergent storytelling (wars, scams, politics) often feels like an XKCD comic come to lifeabsurd yet weirdly logical. Real-World Influence - The "spreadsheets in space" joke from XKCD #277 became a defining meme for EVE, even embraced by CCP Games (the developers) in marketing. - EVEs infamous "This is EVE" trailer (2014) leans into the same dualityepic space battles vs. mundane logistics. Bonus: XKCD-Style EVE Stories - EVEs history is full of XKCD-worthy moments, like: - The 300,000 "Bloodbath of B-R5RB" battle. - The "World War Bee" war fueled by in-game propaganda and memes. - The "Burn Jita" event where players blockaded a trade hub. Conclusion XKCDs humor and EVE Onlines culture are a match made in nerd heaven. If you love one, theres a good chance youll appreciate the other! P.S. If youre an EVE player, you might also enjoy XKCDs "Time" (a long-form interactive comic) or "Click and Drag"both feel as vast and explorable as EVEs universe. Would you like deeper dives into any of these?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
