THE FUSE

EVE Online, a notoriously complicated video game that is still going strong over 20 years after its 2003 launch, is one of the most daunting video games in a genre of daunting video games. MMOs are complex living worlds that are not for the faint of heart. I have never seen a screenshot of EVE Online that I could decipher, so I have only viewed it from afar, but now I’m watching a cow play the game on Twitch and wonder if perhaps I gave up too quickly. If a bovine with nothing but kindness in her heart and milk in her udders can play EVE Online, is it so beyond me to learn the complexities of Fenris Creations’ game? Actually, yes, it is, because I’m watching the game and still have no idea what’s going on.
