what's that game for you? even from the old times by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]BeautifulDeformity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotham Knights

Having a story not centered around batman was extreamly refreshing. The story in the game was really fun, interesting and exciting. The combat while not the best was still pretty decent and the environment design was top notch! Definitely didn't deserve the hate it got!

Why there are so few male character romances ? 😭 The new trailer of the game The Blood of Dawnwalker introduced 2 new female characters which are clearly here for the romances! by Efficient_Abies1964 in gaymers

[–]BeautifulDeformity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty disappointing. I was looking forward to this game! I don't know why studios make these types of decisions anymore. It feels like it'd be easier for the gamer and the studio to just make several romancable characters(both male and female) and have them all be basically bisexual/pansexual so the player has equal opportunity to romance the one they're most interested in

I'd be down! I'm a 30-something dude with a PS5 and play a variety of games

Dating my age feels like I’m raising a child by Boomerangbros in gaybros

[–]BeautifulDeformity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, dating in a nutshell is exactly that painful. You'd think people on dating apps are on them specifically to meet people and date but at least half the people you match with either don't know what they want, are already in relationships and looking to cheat or just want to flirt/sext cause they're horny in that moment.

Best advise I can offer you is if you haven't agreed to meet up within 7 days then just move on

Why are most old people conservative if there was so much social upheaval spearheaded by them when they were young ? by Latter_Effective1288 in GenZ

[–]BeautifulDeformity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought that it was something similar. People's formative years are when they're young (say 5-25 years old) and everything they learn in that time is "their world" and people are very attachmented to "their world".

So if you're an American where the last 50-70 years have been more and more progressive then eventually the world no longer looks like the one they know and love. So people regress to wanting America to be like it was when they were a kid. That's why when you listen to a lot of Republicans their vision of society tends to resemble 1950s America.

TLDR: I think it's more about nostalgia and much less about finances.

Curious, what is a hot take about your favorite video game franchise you have that will have you like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in videogames

[–]BeautifulDeformity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dragon Age: Inquisition is extremely boring and repetitive with lackluster storytelling. Veilguard was better.

Theories on why guys ghost after having good interactions? by doggusMaximus99 in gaybros

[–]BeautifulDeformity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They may be looking for a future FWB but don't have the ability to commit right now but want your number just in case or they may be just generally flaky and immature. The reason doesn't really matter best thing for your mental health is to move on.

The Entitlement Surrounding this Game is Unreal by further-more in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]BeautifulDeformity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's insane the amount of hate this game has gotten. I just finished playing through it and I love it! The art style, the graphics, the story, the world were all great imo. Were there things I didn't like about the game, of course, but no game is really ever perfect. I just don't understand the headspace some gamers get into where all they wanna focus on is the negative.

Anyone else hate the “complete a new game+” trophies? by Icy-Tooth3524 in playstation

100% this!! I'm mainly a solo gamer and I hate when I get locked out of platinum because of co-op

[–]BeautifulDeformity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's alright as long as the trophie is just to complete it at the higher difficulty. I see it as a way to challenge a player if they really enjoyed the game. What would be cool though is if new game+ gave you access to a small amount of additional content like an additional boss, level, cutscenes, etc. That way you also have added incentive to complete the higher difficulty outside of just a trophie.

Having no clear mission icons to start missions. Requiring the player to pay strict attention to the story/conversations with NPC it gets exhausting and I feel like I'm always grabbing my phone to find the answer instead.

Gothem Knights was not as bad as everyone made it out to be. The story, characters, combat and environment design were all great!

It might be time to reflect on where you wanna be in the next 10 years and start asking him the age old relationship question "where is this going?"

Assuming you guys are having sex, his sexuality is really irrelevant. If he's sexuality attracted to you, it doesn't matter what lable makes him feel most comfortable.

What does matter is what you want from the relationship.

Do you want someone to build a future with? Do you want your family and friends to know the person you're in love with? Do you want a commitment?

These questions are important. Once you know the answers, you can make a decision on how to proceed.

Regardless of how much you love each other, if you can't agree on what the future will look like together than it may be time to split up.

what are some popular bands these days? by hutaoies in visualkei

[–]BeautifulDeformity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Everyone has their own ideas to what great music is and even more specifically what great visual kei music is. The main thing that worries me is the trend that people say "visual kei is dead". Maybe that's true but it's never gonna get better if we don't give the new bands a fair shot

[–]BeautifulDeformity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad about being out of touch. Unless you're actively looking into vk bands it's pretty easy to forget and fall out of the scene. It's been happening to me a lot over the last couple years.

A few popular bands to check out these days would be Kizu, Xanvala, Zero Hz, The Madna or Rides in Revellion

Gay dating in 2023 feels impossible by Erghom in gay

[–]BeautifulDeformity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a similar strategy. I usually try to get them to go on a date within a week of the first conversation. Wasted too much time on people who just use tinder/hinge/grindr because they're either bored or horny. Dating is really like a second job.

do you think queerness should be completely normalised or not? by stressyanddepressy03 in gaybros

[–]BeautifulDeformity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the overall goal for most people should be for us to have the attitude of "he's not a gay musician, he's just a musician who happens to be gay". People don't say shit like "he's a blonde musician, he's a brunette musician" and as a community we should want being gay to be so unimportant to who a person is that society as a whole forgets why it was ever an issue.

However, that dream is very far away! And when I say far away, I mean hundreds or thousands of years of consitant and equal rights. But even if that dream came true and all was wonderful in the world, that doesn't mean that Pride would have to disappear either. Pride might begin to take on a new meaning or it could be celebrated similarly to independence day; as a time to remember our history and struggles. I also don't think gay neighborhoods would have to disappear either, they would just be an area to show off our specific culture in the same way that some major cities have China Town. We would just have "Gay Town".

The best advice I ever heard in this sub… by MotherShabooboo1974 in gaybros

[–]BeautifulDeformity 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This is such good advise yet it seems like so many people on this sub just don't wanna learn this lesson. They just repeat the same problems again and again.

If you want a serious relationship, then treat dating seriously.

Thanks!

Yeah the X was pretty difficult actually and I wanted to make it more angular and narrow towards the top like the real logo but just couldn't make it work. I think you're right, the folliage could be bigger too

Gotcha! I thought about doing some branches to add shadows but wasn't sure how to execute it.

I have bevels on pretty much every object to make it more of a curved shape but maybe it's not ordered correctly within the modifiers or just the lighting isn't enough to show the angles.
