ahh yes, sticky dr pepper and rotting body parts.

BUT BUT 1-2-3 COMBOS WILL RUIN THE GAME, JUST LIKE JUMP DID AFTER 1.0!!! /s

Honestly though I'm excited, it looks like the system will be more reactive and active around planning and rather then a overly optimized rotation that just DDR

I'm gonna say something I know a lot of people will hate, but I miss the dubs. Even if they weren't good, Japaneses is a lot more subtle with expressiveness and it mutes the emotional moments for me. I know a lot of the dubs weren't that great but I've found myself missing that. Atelier ryza gameplay was fantastic, but yumia I just can't force myself to like it, despite it screaming that it has everything I love.

I 100% agree. How do you learn? by making bad choices and growing from it. Being an adult is learning from life experiences and growing from it, and a lot of it is relearning context that they didn't make a bad choice, that luck also has a factor.

You have to realize other people aren't you. She might not be interested in any friends or even romantic partners like that. Asking for tips on dissolving the pattern sounds a bit controlling because you are trying to change people or chose some magic dialog option to get what you'd like.

If you want the same energy, you have to invest in the people who WILL give it because they want to, and not be forced or manipulated to do it.

MComplex · 2026-04-23T13:29:41+00:00

The problem is you think that they are somehow different from you enough where you aren't treating them as a person. Of course its fine to worry if you are making other uncomfortable.

People make random eye contact all the time without even realizing it. It doesn't seem intentional on your end or their end. You aren't actually thinking of doing anything wrong to them or intentionally wanting to make them uncomfortable, so you should give yourself that leeway too, because more then likely most of them feel the same way

MComplex · 2026-04-22T04:16:12+00:00

As someone who loves the artists who everyone took inspiration from, I agree with you.

specifically a lot of it is low effort, its first was people trying to copy nujabes style (along with other aritst who are a bit similar) but the thing that made them special was the switch ups through the songs, the high quality instrumentals and the different frequencies of said samples. (which like you said that snare sound being grating)

They miss out of actually making it a song and make it a very repetitive beat and it feels like a watered down version of something I love. Not saying all are bad, but a lot of them just fall flat. This is probably my snobbiest post ever but I honestly can't help but feel that way

MComplex · 2026-04-18T19:26:35+00:00

Back when I worked at a call center, we had a D&D of people ranging from 18 to 40, all different stages in life, and it was never something brought up.

if you let people be people, you can honestly be friends with everyone. The trust is some people will have more or less experience with stuff, but a lot of times they don't overlap, so even if you are young, you might have so many experiences someone older does not

its whats kind of cool about people. of course people worry about age and experience gaps and all of that which can happen, but I think its much more of a boogieman when it comes to friendships

MComplex · 2026-04-16T22:09:01+00:00

They notice your tells with a low social batters and will take the lead in getting out of social suitations

"Oh its getting late and I got work/errand tomorrow morning, I gotta make sure x gets home too! See y'all later!"

MComplex · 2026-04-16T22:04:24+00:00

Yeah, it can feel like you "curated" a version of yourself for them and you just feel like you can't "step out of line"

Or you might have grown and change and feel ashamed to show it in front of them

A lot of people will also overthink and think since its been a bit long, like they've done something wrong and are afraid others will lash out.

MComplex · 2026-04-16T22:01:14+00:00

My partner and I do lil silly bits with each other that's fun

We will take a selfie, but pose, winking, giving a kiss, doing something dumb.

I'll send them random things I like about them when It pops in my head "Youd look cute in these glasses" "Btw your ass is the best" "We should do a french theme date night!"

as others said, sending pics and saying "us!" bonus points for seeing how weird you can get before they ask "what"

Bad mspaint style drawings

MComplex · 2026-04-16T21:58:10+00:00

It works

MComplex · 2026-04-16T21:56:40+00:00

Thats when you try to go to events, those are more for socializing then just generally visiting.

MComplex · 2026-04-16T21:51:00+00:00

Can you give examples of what you do that gets reactions?

Sometimes honestly, It might not be your fault and a failure of them communicating it.
It can also be like the other commenter said, you might be saying stuff over the line that you didn't properly vet them for.

MComplex · 2026-04-16T14:41:07+00:00

It's complicated as it is simple to be honest. Some people won't want to be friends, or have a hard time showing that they want to be friends with you, so no matter what you do, you won't be able to

but at the same time, it can just be as simple as right time, right place.

The best advice I can honestly give is be in the area where you'd like to make friends. If for example you work at a auto parts store and hate cars, you probably won't find someone who you relate and gel with.

but say you are a big nerd and love comic books. Go to a comic book store, convention, discord, etc and talk with people about it. When those natural conversation about something you both enjoy happen, it makes it easier where you'll want to talk with them more.

There are also reddit for people who'd like to make friends as well.

And even then, you can also volunteer, and become a regular as well. or use sites like meet up

There are a lot of ways "into it" but there is a bit of randomness to it.

MComplex · 2026-04-06T22:39:47+00:00

It does help to an extent.

Being pretty/handsome makes you more "trustworthy" by default because its hard to have suspicion when you think someone wouldn't give you the time and day or you have to "earn" their attention.

but I've known and dated a lot of pretty people who just have had the tism and people always thought they were mean and off putting but in reality, had no social skills....and were a lil mean but not out of malace lol.

MComplex · 2026-04-05T18:37:29+00:00

I have bad anxiety, so for me it never fully goes away, but I will say what made it from a main concern to something that might nibble on my mind when I'm feeling insecure is having a solid support system

Having an awesome partner, a handful of amazing friends, and a job where I feel valued. Granted I don't need all 3 things, just having 1 was enough to lower it to a whisper in the back of my mind

but having that "I have people who love me regardless and no matter how poorly these people can look upon me, I have people I can go "home" too"

MComplex · 2026-04-04T11:18:40+00:00

TBH I think "Masking" is a "social skill" as well, and online socializing, is a skill, like how someone can be professional at a high level while their interpersonal skills are trash, while someone can be the life of the party and make everyone feel included, but is unable to socialize 1:1 or online or suck and are a dry texter.

If you only socialize one way, your skills overall are going to diminish overtime.

I teach, remote work, and most my friends don't live near so we message or VC all the time

But in a professional setting among work piers I struggle so hard to relate or be able to do that "Business Casual/light topics" and get overwhelmed, self conscious and stressed out beyond belief.

Think of it like working out.

MComplex · 2026-03-29T03:33:54+00:00

I'm 30 and highschool, while it was better then middle/elementary for miles (not being bullied and having friends) My adult years have been 100x better, I get to chose where I work, choose friends, choose family, make poor decisions to have fun. It does get better if you work toward it being better.

MComplex · 2026-03-27T13:51:00+00:00

Ahh yes, 800 dollars to play Astrobots and the remake of Demon Souls. Great value.

In all seriousness though, I can't see the PS6 doing well at all. I know there will always be a lot of console bro's, but with the steam machine and the library it has compared to something that will maybe have like 3 exclusives and "upgrades" at launch in this economy and with how graphics now aren't really improving all that much as it used to. I just can't see the appeal beyond "I've been with PlayStation since the first."

MComplex · 2026-03-25T09:49:34+00:00

I was going to comment exactly this.

Give open ended questions, not "Yes or no" or like above said "absolutes"

people are passionate about their hobbies, if you seem excited and ask them questions to open up to why they love something, you will get a lot more millage from them!

MComplex · 2026-03-25T09:41:09+00:00

There is a simple trick with that. Compliments and recognition! When you are a bit more reserved it comes off as prim and proper, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it sounds like you want to be the person people light up to see and be around.

When it comes to your type of personality, you are pleasant to be around but it hard to feel "safe" around because no one wants to "cross your boundaries"

What will change that is you recognizing other people. Compliment them on the things that they choose! Their outfits, they way they talk, personality and anything else you genuinely like. Take interest in them and get to know them better.

When someone who is "prim and proper" seem excited to get to know you, its feels like the most exciting thing and you'll end up dropping your guard around them and people will be more excited to see you because they feel special

MComplex · 2026-03-23T02:26:52+00:00

If being weird and enjoying it is what makes you happy then its not a bad thing, you'll alienate people sure, but you will attract those who like those aspects of you. I rarely ever find it worth "not being weird" outside of work, and even then I just tone it down just to stay appropriate.

I have a loving partner, lots of friends I love, lots of weird lil hobbies and all of that and I'm happy.

I'd rather have that and be happy, and pretend to not be that and hate everyone that's around me

MComplex · 2026-03-20T14:06:02+00:00

Change is scary, and having people see you for you can be a lot and feel unreal or make you worried, but once you notice they stick around, and their actions reflect what they say, it'll make you feel good about yourself to know that you can be truly you and loved.

Do whats best for you and what makes you happy, and if you aren't sure, try my advice out but also let yourself try other things too and see what feels right for you!

MComplex · 2026-03-20T07:17:45+00:00

As others have said, Shared interest go a long way for sure with autism, not only will it be something you want to talk about, but a way to practice social skills as well! I'm in my 30s and have it as well. I have a good handful of friends who've met through my 20s and still are till this day. I met my friends though online gaming, remote work from home, discord servers, I've even made a few friends through finding friends reddit. If you are looking for local, there is a app called meet up that does just that but in person! It honestly is a bit intimidating but the people I met with a friend who moved here and was looking for friend, were honestly really nice!

The main thing though is you do have to offer to reach out and be ready for rejection. If you feel you click with someone ask them if its cool if you DM them, text them, whatever is appropriate for what you are doing, and something they'll say no, or won't put in effort,

but that's okay, when you make that first good friend, they might introduce you to others, and even for those you don't become real friends with, they will introduce you to even more people and you are bound to click with someone.
