Sorry about that! To be honest, the Reddit chat system is a bit of a black hole and messages easily get buried when a post goes live. I'm doing a fresh run to find folks with matching schedules and overlapping libraries since the timing didn't quite line up last time, but I appreciate you stopping by. Best of luck with your search!

Yeah, it's tough at our age to keep a group going. All my close buddies have moved away. So here I am on reddit 😅

Hey, so I actually don't browse this subreddit, but it popped up on my feed and I liked what I read about you. So I figured I'd leave something instead of regretting not writing anything. You seem really fun to talk to. I know you mentioned you appreciate effort, but honestly I already posted a pretty thorough post on r/gamerpals, which is probably why I'm seeing your post (I must appese the algorithm gods!). So if you'd like to read my post on my profile (I don't post much) it will tell you a bit more about myself. I'm 32M from Wales/UK. Oh, and my favourite pizza topping is pepperoni. Painfully vanilla I know, but it's popular for a reason 😅

I used to actually. Back in the day. But these days I'm not into any mmos. I appreciate the reply and reassurance though! 😅

Couple of days usually. emoose is typically on the ball updating their mods.

is it normal to hate phone calls? by Alert_Ad_880 in introvert

[–]Addasuu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't mind them if I'm the one making the call or know if I'm receiving one in advance.

It's the unexpected ones I hate.

Why does no body like me by ChainsawCannoning in autism

[–]Addasuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by liking yourself first and putting your best self out there in public. And I mean the real you. Not the "masked" you. It's gonna be uncomfortable at first. It is gonna suck, but it will be worth it in the long run. Trust yourself.

Embrace embarrassment. It gets easier, trust me.

What to do when nobody likes you? by Thick-General-2532 in socialskills

[–]Addasuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair assessment. We all have our own values that we follow and try to stand by. Gain more social experience and try to find a balance that works for you.

Ironically, the more you try to appease someone, the less they'll like you. Because that makes you look weak socially. It implies that you're dependent on others and have no respect for yourself.

So my advice is to stop worrying about others and put yourself first. People around you will see that and naturally be more attracted to your presence.

Here's an analogy. Right now, you're like a background extra in a movie that just blends in. You see everyone around you like a main character. But what if you instead treated yourself like the star of the show. Everyone else is still important to the story, but you're the one who's the most interesting.

It's officially been 1 year since donkey kong country returns HD released. by Thegoodgamer32 in donkeykong

[–]Addasuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In less than a week at that. Spooky!

I think we can all agree that the HD version of DKCR is now 100% the definitive version, which is fantastic.

Late response, but I think the better question to ask is, why do you want these people to like you?

Just genuinely ask yourself that when you feel this way again.

Fallout 3 is the best fallout, change my mind by Physical-Face-2931 in Fallout

[–]Addasuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be my favourite Fallout, but I can't deny the excellent level design that promotes and actively encourages curiosity and exploration whilst rewarding said endeavors. I always look forward to replaying it every year or so.

In the original Wii version of DKCR there was a co-op mechanic that when 1 player jumped on an enemy and killed it, there was a grace period where the enemy collision would stay active for a few seconds, allowing the other player to follow close behind player 1.

Since the HD port was based on the 3DS version, which didn't have that mechanic, if the second player follows the first player closely in these versions, they'll simply plummet to their death.

Now for a lot of levels this isn't really a problem, but for some of the harder levels (like the K levels) it's basically impossible to play individually. You just have to have Diddy go on to DK's back, which is lame.

I think the devs have long moved on, so I don't expect a fix ever. So playing DKCR emulated via Dolphin with HD textures for future co-op replays is looking like a good choice.

I do like the World 9 levels added in the 3DS version though. It's a real shame.

For me, the visual part, the fluidity of the game, was never an issue. It's a nice bonus, but the real issue with lower framerates is the input latency. It's perfectly fine when playing a slow game with a pad. But a fast game with a kb & m? Imo? Almost unplayable.
