InAbsentia

You've got to cast that shit out my man. Bitterness is a poison and will only turn you on yourself or others. I'm not in that situation but you have to look at things as if you haven't met the right one yet. I won't tell you to lower your standards but maybe consider trying to find the beauty of a person in a different light. Their intelligence, humor, mannerisms, there's so many aspects of people to hate and appreciate.

Look at it this way, it's hard to meet people these days. You go to parties, and find people that go to parties. You get on any dating sites? Chat rooms?

Bro is just now getting around to critical thinking? MANY people were of this mindset 8 years ago...

Bruh, this 'journalist' is fucking struggling with the point of his work.

Seems like it.

This will probably get buried but I got a few of em for ya.

Syndicate Wars: Game was mind blowing for the time it was released.

Black and White 1/2: I know, more Peter Molyneaux. Everything else has been mentioned.

Jade Cocoon 1: Not 2. One was extremely unique and you won't find another game like it. It's the coolest monster merging game I've seen and has an endless dungeon.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup: It's old but not old. Went open source and has been developed over some time by the community. It's much more newbie friendly these days.

Warlords Battlecry 3: Holy cow the races, persistent hero progression in an RTS. It's age shows though.

That's all I can pull of the top of my head right now that I haven't seen mentioned, though I didn't skim every single comment.

Edit: Just remembered Tyrian existed. Oldschool Schmup that had a good SP campaign and multiplayer.

You're young but that's not much of an excuse. At no point did you not think hey, I should be supportive to her? You messed up bro and you owe her a hella apology. Perhaps if you start treating her like a person instead of a piece of meat you can salvage that relationship. In every situation, a good rule of thumb is walk a mile in their shoes.

Appeal to Extremes.

Complicated answer. I love RTS games, grew up with command and conquer. At some point RTS games hit a peak and never quite got back there. In that time, turn-based strategy games continued to grow and evolve and innovate.

But they bore me to fucking tears. I prefer RTS games, but I just don't play them anymore. None of my friends play them. I can't get them into it either. So I play turn-based very occasionally.

Also Zero-K has held my attention a bit but it got old after awhile. I miss Westwood.

Mr. Twatters seems like a poster child for post-covid brain fog.

People can barely afford what is considered essential these days. Jobs are hard to find, but no one wants to work. Layoffs happening in every large business to cut costs. Profit margins and infinite growth have become congressional priority. Owning your own home is a dream becoming more and more intangible. They make these articles every so often and they're often disconnected with the struggles of the lower and middle classes, asking a question with obvious answers. Most people without kids are a few paychecks away from bankruptcy and you want them to be excited about parenthood?

It's all about attitude and confidence baby. I started losing my hair at 15, had a BALD spot by 18 and by 20 the hair on top was little scraggles. I owned it. People gave me shit for it but that's typical when you're abnormal. You learn to joke back and you'll eventually realize it's a minor issue and it won't stop you from being you, which will be the most attractive part to anyone worth your time.

Well that is one way to get that dude's name in the trending search results.
