The Safe Spot — Episode 11: Summer Rules

No guest this week — just Rixx and me catching up, comparing notes, and accidentally wandering into one of those bigger EVE conversations: what actually makes the game work after all these years. A little summer lull, a little corp movement, a little real-life desk tinkering, and then straight into the rules beneath the rules.

The Safe Spot — Episode 5: "Bad Patch"

In this episode, recorded back on March 24th, Rixx and I dive into what happens when CCP pulls the rug out from under your favorite ship mid-stride. Rixx has been on a PvP tear, stacking up fights and cracking the mystery of his disappearing video recordings, while I'm still reeling from the Catalyst major update that basically nerfed my entire gameplay loop. 

We get into patch notes philosophy, Pochven lore, blockade runners, abyssal arenas, and why the best advice in EVE often comes from the guy who just blew you up.

The Safe Spot — Episode 3: "More Questions"

Episode 3 of The Safe Spot is here! This one was all about me bringing my "dumb newbro questions" to Rixx and getting real, practical answers from a veteran pirate who's been living the lowsec life for almost two decades now. 

I spent the weekend of February 14-15th not actually playing EVE but doing the metagame — researching skills, reorganizing assets, and realizing my stuff is scattered across New Eden like a space hoarder. 

So naturally, I came to the show with a list of things I needed to figure out, from picking a home system to knowing when I'm actually ready for PvP.

Here's what we got into.

The Safe Spot — Episode 2: "The Depths of Eve Online"

Since you can't call it a podcast series without a few episodes, here's Episode 2 of The Safe Spot! In this episode, Rixx and I went deep — maybe a little too deep. We barely touched the agenda (again, I know!), but what we did cover was worth every detour. 

I'm still peeling back layers of New Eden, Rixx shared the full story of how he became one of lowsec's most notorious pirates, and we somehow ended up talking ship skins, Pochven, and the philosophy behind why EVE hooks us the way it does. Oh, and I introduced Rixx to end the show. Yeah, go figure!

Here's what we got into.
