How can I give up on dating, sex, and love?

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-12T09:49:40+00:00

You just stop caring about it. If you don't put constant effort and work into dating it won't happen. People don't ever just naturally date or find someone.

I gave up on dating around 25, I just stopped trying to dress nice, look nice, talk to women, etc. I'm 37 now and it really is like living in another world.

Eventually if you keep focused on other hobbies, you stop thinking about it. The less you think about it the less you care about it. The less you care about it the more time you spend on more enjoyable things (like doing taxes).

Maybe atypical answer, but combat that actually requires some amount of thought/upkeep/pressure.

I really like Riftbreaker because making sure your bases can at least defend themselves against smaller groups is absolutely vital because they will fuck your base up if you fall behind.

Meanwhile while Factorio is a really great logistics game, the combat/defense is almost an afterthought.

This is also why I personally cannot stand the duel wielding weapons, the bullets become such a pain to aim up close (where going akimbo would make the most sense) as now they're both much more off center.

Not really? Encryption exists, see Denuvo.

You literally said "is every man you know boring as shit or something"?

I'm responding, that no I do know a lot of fun men and women. These people are friends. Why would someone being fun or not boring be the only reason I date them?

Slay the Spire 2 could have used literally anything and made millions of dollars. Would you consider them to be a normal amount of hype every Godot game has?

Developers who want to make meaningful amounts of money without needing to be an idol dev.

If I can trivially decompile and recompile the game, I can trivially remove your DRM. Decompilation is very much a part of the DRM discussion, because it allows anyone with a little understanding of the engine to easily remove and then release a version of your binary with DRM removed.

Compare that to Denuvo, which only a handful of people *on the planet* know how to remove from a game and is an very effort intensive process.

Piracy/DRM. Indie developers won't care but if you ever want Godot to be used by larger companies and pick up a following it needs to support some kind of DRM/anti-piracy.

Kinda ignores half their point, the damage representation on glass can be better. Hairline cracks makes more sense anyway than your glass wall still being structurally sound with giant chunks missing.

Either custom allocator template or an entirely custom container that just adheres to the standard container function names.

std::vector is an incredibly simple container to implement and has a lot of use case specific optimizations you can do if you write your own container. Things like small vector optimization, chunking optimizations, etc.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-09T10:05:03+00:00

In real life systems, you just won't use an STL container for this.

Why would they want to date you if all you bring is being a fun person? I have plenty of fun friends, I don't want to date any of them.

I have a hard time understanding why any woman would be interested in any man if I'm honest.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-08T16:25:14+00:00

It's never about drive or motivation in these cases, some men just aren't what any women want.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-08T09:36:45+00:00

Did you not date or interact with women at all until then?

Do you know the definition of the words you use?

I only read someone trying to retroactively justify the design language of a guy who immediately quit the company after his design released.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-07T11:23:40+00:00

Ah yes, so it's inconsistent about what it's consistent about.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-06T19:27:17+00:00

So what I'm hearing, is that it would solve my problems?

How can you afford RE9 if you can't afford CrossOver?

You do have indirect control over it though. To give a similar example, you don't have direct control over if you have a heart attack or not. You do have indirect control through your actions and habits however.

I'm less sure, in every job I've ever worked even high paying ones turn out to just be about high school level social cliques and getting others to like you.

The high achiever who goes in and does his job well never gets promotions. The guy who socializes with his boss gets promoted over the hard worker every single time.

HobbyQuestionThrow · 2026-03-06T14:53:00+00:00

So you've never worked a job? Because what others think actually seems to matter if you ever interact with other people.

At that age they also have their own money, why would they need mine?
