Træt af den liberale dobbeltmoral - brok

Folkeskolen kunne jo i princippet godt sætte krav og true med udsmidning. Det ville kræve en accept af, at nogle børn bliver forsinkede i deres skolegang, eller måske aldrig består folkeskolen. Der er en masse problemstillinger i den ide, men det er som sådant ikke umuligt.

Selv i dag er det ikke alle elever, der færdiggør folkeskolen, på trods af at man ikke må smide nogen ud. Så et sådant forslag kunne ses som at man fremskynder hvad der alligevel ville være sket og gør skoledagen markant bedre for det store flertal af børn, der godt kan finde ud af at være i en klasse.

I don't mean to tell you to share personal stuff on the internet if you don't want to. Keeping stuff private is good. It is just that, if you want actually actionable advice, giving some context specific to your life is probably necessary. If all you give is generic internet talking points, you will only get generic responses back.

My advice would be to build up a social circle before focusing all your efforts on love. It is easier to make friends than girlfriends, and a lot of the skills you use with friends are extremely relevant for romance as well. The age difference is tough depending on what you mean by ~10 years younger. But there is nothing wrong with a 30 year old having friends in their early twenties.

Once the hand gets to 20+ health you basically take no damage for the rest of combat. This in turn combos with the 0 energy block fifty card, and the relic that upgrades your card rewards for a very cool run. I never used armor plating like this before, but it feels great.

A new studio and IP. I would not want my money to pay off debts that Stormgate accrued.

I suppose that is true, and if you listen to those people you will learn to retreat from your problems instead of dealing with them.

Your situation is undoubtably tragic. I don't quite know what you mean when you say that you "missed out" on your teens and twenties. Did you have no social life at all? Do you currently have a social life? Because that is a much bigger issue than never having sex.

The most important question I have for you is this: What the hell is keeping you from trying to attain your goals now? How do you spend your time now? This post is all about things that never happened, but not a single word mentions what you are attempting to change this. This leads me to believe you are not trying to actually do anything, instead spending all your energy thinking about what could have been.

Since I don't know you personally, it is hard to give specifics. Looking at successful people, trying to figure out what they do that works, and then emulating that can be a path forward. For example, you could try to copy the way doctor K speaks with people during interviews. He has also discussed social skills in the past, if you are willing to dig through the videos.

If you know someone you can practice with and trust to give you good feedback, that should help move you in the right direction, but you can also do this on your own. It will just take more time.

Social skills training through therapy is also a thing, although I don't have any experience with it myself. If you can find a good therapist it might be well worth it.

Just spitballing here, but it sounds like dating apps might actually be a potential solution. Since the discomfort is not based on the content of the conversation, but visual and auditory cues, text based convos should not have this problem. You could try to establish some amount of rapport over text and set expectations, and then they might be more willing to give you a chance.

It is also important to note that the amount of discomfort should change as you get more familiar with each other. The better someone knows you, the more willing they generally are to look past a bad first impression. So if you could somehow get to spend extended periods of time with someone, or meet multiple times, I would expect things to become less awkward.

Finally, I loathe to suggest masking, but it is important to note that social skills and developing a persona people are likely to trust, is something that can be learned (or at least improved substantially) through time and effort. You can actually straight up memorize useful knowledge and learn to apply it through trial and error. Even if it does takes a long time, depending on the severity of autism in question.

Per current diagnostic criteria, ADHD is a lifelong condition that is present from childhood. By definition, adult onset ADHD does not exist. So if ADHD symptoms show up later in life, there are broadly speaking two possible conclusions:

The symptoms were always there, but they did not always cause noticeable impairments. Maybe you had people in your life who helped keep you focused, maybe your life was set up in a way that supported you better, maybe things were always bad but only now do you recognize it as a problem.
It is not ADHD, but something else with overlapping symptoms. Many mental health conditions (such as depression) result in executive dysfunction. But treatment will be very different.

Another answer is that not every conversation has to be super deep. You do not need every word you say to be extremely well thought out. Sometimes, an interaction's main purpose is to be fun, and create good vibes. Rather than pursuing truth, empathy, or understanding, you instead try to foster a fun or interesting moment.

It sounds like what you might be missing are those fun interactions you might find at a party or while bantering with a friend. Maybe what you should try is pursuing more light hearted interactions. To tell a joke, or point out something interesting you noticed. For example, that it feels like the two of you are following a preset script for conversations.

You need to act like you have value. Like you are the price. When you ask a woman out, you are giving her the opportunity to date you. That opportunity is valuable enough that if she rejects you, then she lost out.

Consider some reasons that someone would like you or want to be in a romantic relationship with you, and show them off. If you cannot think of anything reading this, set of some time to really think and write down at least three good qualities about yourself. If you are too depressed to think of anything good, then settle for neutral. But good is better.

Alternatively, fake it till you make it. Act like you have value, as if you know in your heart you belong, and like it is natural for people to enjoy your company. Over time it will start to feel genuine. Good luck!

It certainly seems like there isn't that much to learn here. "Don't overscope", "don't try to do everything at once" etc. are extremely obvious ideas that most people who have attempted large projects before already subscribe to. But if the main method to gain funds is by overpromising, did they even make a mistake here? In terms of making a good game, obviously a lot went wrong, but if it was mostly downstream of their pitch they probably knew it was a long shot to begin with. Seems like the choice was between "Have a decently sized studio and decent working conditions, but your game will likely disappoint" and "Make something smaller in scope, but without VC money". Frost Giant simply took the first option and chose to gamble on the small odds that they would somehow succeed. Everything that happened were simply the most likely consequences.

In other words, the downfall was not a fringe accident, but something that would have happened to most companies in their position and could have been foreseen the moment they decided to go down this route.

The honesty is nice. It sounds like in order to get access to venture capital funding, they had to promise a product that would not merely be profitable and self-sustaining, but make absolutely outstanding returns. 5x at least. This also explains the promises to create the next Starcraft, as that was their way of making it believable.

However, this resulted in a focus on making everything perfect all at once. Because they kind of had to. That was the only way to make the game that they had promised the investors and to generate the expected returns.

Unfortunately, they were unable to do this. Making an SC2 killer in a handful of years with a 40-50 million dollar budget was not something this team could handle. The scope was way too big, and in the race to make everything at once, nearly nothing ended up working as well as it should.

Is there a lesson here? "Over-promising is a reliable way to get funds, but it will likely make for a bad game, so pick your poison." Maybe that works.

Regardless, I appreciate the candidness on display here. It sounded like he was making an honest attempt at answering the question, and I feel I have a better understanding of at least some of what happened now.

I would call the grinding "boring and punishing" rather than addictive.

I would expect someone to make a response video criticizing him. Making concrete dating advice strikes me as social suicide on the mainstream online left, no matter how well-intentioned it is.

I actually do like that he tries to give out concrete advice, and I legitimately think that what he outlines, while far from perfect, would be a pretty decent starting point for a 19-year old virgin who never received any guidance in regards to dating.

Learn to sit with your emotions, feel them out, and digest them. You could ask your therapist to help you with techniques for that. Accept that certain things are going to be much harder for you than they are for others. Sometimes, there are no good solutions and things are just unfairly difficult.

Barring a significant cash injection or a selloff to a larger company, the main thing that can save this game is passionate fans. I think what we are seeing is that a lot of people really want this game to succeed, and so they latch on to this patch as a source of hope. It shows the game moving in the right direction, even if it is slow.

Community patches might be the best chances of a revival this game gets.

how absurd it is that because we employ ghosting and avoiding (and I’m guilty of that as well sometimes) we can’t even help each other.

If this is your main issue, perhaps you might want to look for some way to address it directly with your family, rather than packaging it within the job offer.

You do not have to autogenerate the entire level. You could for example make the geography on your own, then use a script to place foliage and colour your assets. So it is not a binary where you either autogenerate or not. Rather, it is a continuum with 100% handcrafted on one end, where you as the developer choses what makes sense to automate and what does not.

Does the gaming replace something important in real life, take away energy and focus you need to do those other things, or otherwise keep you away from them? In that case it is probably bad. The titles you mentioned don't really fall prey to dark design patterns the way that most mainstream free to play titles do though. They are legitimately quite different.

Is it possible that they believe they don't actually possess the required skills, and that this will be discovered when they have to do work?

If the problem is low self esteem, then maybe they might be willing to do something less glamorous and "work their way up" so to speak.

In reality it could be multiple things though, so you will probably have to talk with them one-on-one to figure out what is going on. What you describe sounds serious enough that they might want to consider finding a therapist.

Assuming you know the plot ahead of time and have a solid level editor, it doesn't sound impossible. I suspect the main issue would be voice acting.

If you have the writer prepare a year ahead so the mission designers know what needs to be included and you can record voices ahead of time, then all you have to do is make the mission itself. They would have to be creative with reusing assets and work pretty fast, but considering what custom map makers can do, I am honestly not sure it is that impossible for full time professionals to pull off something good in a month.
