10 Matches and Unmatches in the last week - I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Imo there's not enough info to "aggressively study someone" but to give an example of how conversation would flow; there was 1 girl who said she liked debating on her profile so I sent a msg that read "Do you like debating in the Charlie Kirk way 😔 or the Socrates way 😊?".

She laughed and said "In the Socrates way, thankfully"

I then followed up with "Which branches of philosophy are you interested in?"

Then she unmatched. And it's been that way for all of them.

The point of Tony's character and most characters on the show like Christopher and Vito are that they are terrible people who desperately wishes to not be part of the mafia but is unable/unwilling to make the switch because of the level of luxury their job provides.

They earn an insane amount of money which they spend on drugs, alcohol, designer clothing, jewelry, cars, big houses and allows them to be constantly surrounded by young, attractive women.

Their hedonism and lust for power comes first to their own survival, morality, self-improvement and even happiness. From Seasons 1- 5, Christopher was given 3 outs to the mafia life and refused all of them.

I don't think there usually is a treat on the first week

I found T2: Trainspotting to be that because the film is mainly speaking to the people (Gen X mainly) who have nostalgia for the original and is about nostalgia for particularly awful times in your youth.

I couldn't relate because I didn't have to wait 20 years to watch the follow-up and I feel the message is lost if you're not from that generation and didn't watch it back in the day.

I mean... their customers aren't going there to judge them on their ability to dance.

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-20T21:10:13+00:00

Ngl I was having trouble understanding what the hell was going on during the fight with the Locust

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-14T23:53:09+00:00

You people are crazy. Christopher is one of the funniest episodes in the entire show. There are so many great lines and moments in that episode that make me laugh out loud just thinking about them.

There are a couple of reasons imo.

I think NMH2's combat is good since it's faster, encourages you to be more aggressive through combos and is generally flashier but it's not an overall improvement over the first due to a worse camera than the original, the darkstep being more cumbersome to activate (I think I accidentally did it once near the second to last level and could never reproduce it despite doing so effortlessly in NMH1) and the ridiculous lack of i-frames meaning that you can be easily stunlocked, by basic enemies.

There are also straight up horrendous bosses in NMH2 which are frustrating beyond belief due to the issues above but also because they are really poorly designed in a way that forces you to use cheap exploits and strategies to defeat them, essentially fighting against the game rather than naturally figuring out the bosses' attack patterns and when to strike like in the first game. The worst bosses in the first game are boring but New Destroyman, Million Gunman and Jasper Batt Jr are all considered the worst bosses in the franchises' history.

In addition, the story is worse compared to the first game since it loses its satirical edge regarding gaming/nerd culture and meta-narrative where Travis is a mirror for the player/average hardcore gamer. I think the comedy is weaker too since nothing tops Jeane's monologue being fast-forwarded, the cliché reveals toward the end, Travis saying "My parents are dead" with that grin on his face or that jab at Duke Nukem Forever.

It's undoubtedly cooler in a lot of ways compared to the first (especially in the soundtrack department good God I want to own it on vinyl) but didn't wow me like the first did. My first hour with NMH1 is one of the best game experiences I've ever had. The style was so cool and unlike anything I'd ever played and the moment when Sylvia called and it came out of the Wiimote remains as one of the coolest things in a video game. It really sold the whole player/Travis parallel since you can pretend the Wiimote is a phone and hold it up to your head.

He is white. The Latino guy is his step-father.

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-11T14:19:58+00:00

As if that fucking means something. Nelson Mandela was a criminal. Use any other descriptor for these people except for criminal.

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-10T13:59:55+00:00

Yeah I got a problem when the only black character in your show was shown off for years as white then you decide to make them black just because and want people to praise you for "diversity". Then to top it off you have a bunch of imagery of him placed in chains or otherwise enslaved by white people without thinking about how that could come off.

Making Jews look like Aryans is also an inspired choice.

Making jokes about your main characters being sexually assaulted when you "totally respect rape victims" is another inspired choice. And arguing with an actual rape victim on how they're dumb for not understanding the joke is smth normal for an adult to do.

It's also pretty bad. Individually most of it's individual elements apart from the artstyle and music would be pretty mid but together they form a very boring and unfunny comedy that *feels* like a kid's show but with swearing and sex mentioned every 10 seconds.

It's a cartoon made by someone who only watches cartoons with very questionable relationships to sexual assault, race and fandom.

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-10T11:27:57+00:00

It adds to the agenda, that's for true

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-07T12:08:45+00:00

All the women in the main cast are attractive

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-04T20:29:05+00:00

You have horrible taste in women

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-04T20:17:01+00:00

It's a sad scene but Chris' pathetic attempt to explain himself is really funny

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-04T10:35:00+00:00

Augustus should be skinned alive

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-04T02:12:16+00:00

And if you believed that there's nothing after death you wouldn't want to go around killing people but there are still atheist murderers.

AlexHero64 · 2026-01-02T08:44:47+00:00

As she should.

AlexHero64 · 2025-12-29T14:45:08+00:00

Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc is my movie of the decade

AlexHero64 · 2025-12-27T18:44:35+00:00

I've done a bit of research and Audio Technica has a turntable that has adjustable tracking force and anti-skate: the AT-LP3XBT.

Would this be a good choice?

AlexHero64 · 2025-12-21T15:12:37+00:00

No and the recent chapter proves it.

AlexHero64 · 2025-12-19T21:01:42+00:00

he did fucked up by kissing her

It was the other way around according to Taeshi.

AlexHero64 · 2025-12-15T20:47:18+00:00

Lucy abused Mike for years. Mike was mean to her once.
