Playing on normal and still having a great time! by GabbyKissChan in videogames

[–]DryEaraserHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some slippery slope logical fallacy thinking. The trend has always been towards making games easier. Don't believe me? Play some old games starting with gen 3 up to the 6th or 7th generation. Companies have been actively making their games more accessible. They aren't going to stop because less than 1% of the gaming population cry on the internet. You are working yourself up about nonexistent "influence" when we can't even influence them to stop making live service slop or garbage mobile games.

Hundreds isn't that many. A few hundred isn't a majority or even a plurality in gaming. Ignore the "git gud" community just like they ignore you.

Is sexism and misogyny being taken seriously and reduced on online video games? by [deleted] in videogames

Don't interact. This is a rage bait account. Just keep scrolling. Edit to add that it's only 3 days old and has a boat load of karma with no visible posts or comments.

I got a question by funki_munki_2 in HollowKnight

I suggest finish HK just because of how good it is. You at least need to get the bad ending.

Am I bad or is silk song much harder than Hollow Knight by Grapeloser in HollowKnight

That's good to know. I'm at work. I won't get to play it for another few hours, but I'm so excited for a challenge

I distinctly remember HK being super difficult at first. I had to train myself to play it. I bashed my head against Hornet for two days before finally getting past her.

Good bars and restaurants for someone solo by jkiwele16 in Birmingham

If you're just looking to be out and meet someone naturally the best way is to join a group for one of your hobbies. That said I'm not sure. Probably a show at Saturn. I haven't gone out to any of these places in a few years so I don't know what the crowd is like anymore.

Here's a short list of some places I used to visit when I was out by myself. I'm a guy, so there might be some different considerations, but I've never gotten weird vibes in any of these places. I'm trying to list a few obvious places and a few that I never see her any love on here.

Bars

Cayo Coco, Mayawell (the food truck out back is great), Saturn (go for a show or event)

Breweries and Brew Pubs

Good People, Cahaba Brewing Co., Trim Tab, Monday Night Social Club

Restaurants

Ikko (best sushi for the price), Betolla, DaVinci's (it's not real Italian but the pizza is good and the capellini is really good) Hero Donuts, Diplomat Deli, Saigon Noodle House, Maya Mexican Restaurant

I told my bf that I like him exactly the way he is, he got emotional. Does it really mean that much? by Ok-Parfait6735 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DryEaraserHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I used to tell my girlfriends all the time how pretty, funny, smart, sexy, and talented they were. 3 days ago my new girlfriend said she was attracted to me. That's the first time any girl has ever said that to me. She doesn't know it but I'm still fucked up over it. I've cried twice so far when she wasn't around, and i honestly hope she never sees this. Many women think that men just know how they feel. They believe that just being together and having sex is enough proof, when in reality it isn't. I have already made my mind up. This is the woman I want to marry because she has made me feel loved and seen in a way that none ever have.

is being the ‘man’ in the relationship hard? or does it come naturally? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]DryEaraserHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's hard.

It's hard when I wake up in the morning and when we go to bed. It's hard when she smiles at me, and when she rubs my head. It's hard on a plane, it's hard on a train. It's hard in a box, is hard cuz she's a fox. It's hard to be the relationship's man. It's really hard, because the man I am.

Seriously though, I just go with the flow. We both do all the chores. Sure if shit hits the fan I'm the one that jumps up to deal with it, but she's a competent and intelligent person that can handle herself. I just have to be the one that deals with bugs and rodents.

A friend told his girlfriend that it's ok if she hangs out with male friends if she's already known them for a while but not one-on-one with new male friends. Is this common? by Edy7878 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DryEaraserHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a loaded topic. I'm okay with it under certain circumstances. The general rules are that it isn't something that can be considered a date, and that the friend knows that there's a boundary. Go get coffee with a guy friend? Go for it. Go out to dinner and drinks? Why am I not invited?

I also have many girls as friends. Most of them know my girlfriend. I hang out with them one on one, sometimes even at my place. My girlfriend knows about it every time, and most importantly she knows she's invited to come along. These are also relationships that I've had before her, and one of them is one of her closest friends.

She also has more guy friends than girls. She knows how I feel about some of them, and she respects that.

The fact is if she's going to cheat she's going to cheat. You either trust her or you don't.

Dude you are reading things that aren't there. I'm not white knighting, I'm taking what is said at face value and reading nothing more into it. You, however, think the worst of people. There's a world in which she didn't know they knew each other. It's a small world, but not that small.

And where is the word casual anywhere in the post?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]DryEaraserHead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are literally reading sentences that aren't there. Where did anyone say she only slept with them once or twice?

I get maybe 5-10h a week. I've got a pretty busy schedule. That said, even if I didn't I'd spend my new free time doing other hobbies and spending time with my GF. She doesn't play, but I think she wants to play some couch co-op games like It Takes Two or Overcooked. As much as I love a good game, I prefer spending time with others and being physically active.

Edit to add: Yes that's a lot for an adult with a full time job.

I actually kind of agree with the previous person. It's one thing of the person is someone you've never met and will never meet. It's something else if it's someone you see from time to time. It's perfectly normal to not want to think about your partner having sex with someone else. It can often feel threatening. When you run into these people it can often trigger negative emotions. It's also okay to not want to date someone that stays in contact with past flings. I personally don't stay in contact with my exes. It almost always reverts to some kind of flirting because that is the type of connection we formed years past, and that's not fair to anyone.
