Specialization is for insects.
Here in Ann Arbor there's mac and cheese at Zingerman's with pulled chicken, corn, and green chilies. It is insanely good.

For sure! Specifically it's at Zingerman's Roadhouse, which is separate from the Deli that has the best $18 sandwich you'll ever have. There's actually a bunch of good food spots in a2 right now.

Gotta have the right mushrooms. I hated mushrooms as a kid because the poo poo my parents gave us was always some variation of 'button mushrooms' that literally bounce.
Your food shouldn't loving bounce.

I then had thin-sliced garlic mushrooms on an English breakfast somewhere and they were amazing. I've never looked back.
Also you can BBQ portabello mushrooms which works much better than you'd imagine.

Button, crimini, and portobello are all the same mushroom, amazingly enough. Just different morphs/age.

BBQ portos with stuffed with goat cheese on a nice loaf of bread is the best poo poo

I have no idea where to start in this game. I hear super conflicting stories like solo pvp is good/bad. Combat is profitable/unprofitable. Ratting is good/bad.

Its hard to figure out what do do when everything is so nebulous

Solo pvp is tremendously fun but has a pretty steep learning curve and can be very frustrating at times when things don't go your way; if you don't make the effort to get over the learning curve, the frustrations are almost guaranteed to overwhelm the positives. Combat can be very profitable if you choose your engagements carefully and minimise risk, although that tends to be a less fun way of playing the game in my opinion. Ratting is straight up dreadful but some other forms of pve can be mildly engaging. There are a lot of things you can potentially do, and since it's a sandbox game, you kind of have to define goals for yourself if you want to get much out of it. As a new player, your best bet will be to join a corporation that is geared towards newbies and can offer guidance and explain the game mechanics. Goonwaffe or Karmafleet would normally be a good choice, although they're in a sticky spot at the moment. Pandemic Horde, Eve University, Dreddit, and Brave Newbies are also good new player friendly corps, although if you join Horde or Dreddit you'll be at war with most goons who currently play.

The main way I made money in eve was by selling chars and scamming, and occasionally doing some market stuff. It was convenient for the PvP life but I wasn't able to do this until I had been playing the game for around 2 years or so, and it cost a bit of money per month since I had to keep an extra sub up

Solo pvp is about understanding a few game mechanics, but mostly about picking your fights. If you're good at choosing fights you'll win a lot more than you'll lose.

yeah but in lowsec you generally have about 10 people per system max, and that's pushing it, if a few are from the same corp and are not docked up I'd suggest avoiding fights

there are ok fights in FW plexes (usually some guys in t1 frigs farming them), and sometimes you'll get lucky and catch a cruiser belt ratting

Corp CEOs can decide whether or not to allow friendly fire. If it's allowed, corp members can attack each other in highsec without CONCORD intervening. If it's not allowed, attacking a corpmate will cause CONCORD to come and blow you up.

You could do solo pvp by going into C1s and C2s and hitting the miners trying to ninja stuff out of there.

I had an alt that spent weeks doing that without ever returning to K-Space.

well kinda? It'll be less useful across the north where people tank against kin/therm for ratting, but if you want to afk cloak 23/7 you could probably end up with some kills

probably not as effective as camping a pipe gate with a sabre
