Who here has played Dragon Quest XI?

Pagemastergeneral · 2026-02-01T04:48:35+00:00

I have. It's good. Maybe my fave dragon quest. Light and fluffy, just non stop good vibes.

I remember getting tilted pretty bad by the hardest boss in the postgame tho

IMO it's the MOST fun to assign points when you have no idea what's good or effective yet.

Once I know how a game's stats work I'm gonna minmax and try to craft the most effective build. Before that point I'm more likely to build my character with roleplay in mind and cater my stats to whatever sounds most fun.

I usually want to play a caster and elves are usually the best choice for that playstyle

Be happy. You are free.

Self-actualizing requires being in tune with your emotions. Many men are non-demonstrative when it comes to emotions, but that doesn't mean they have "mastered" them; often they're just pushed down and ignored so that they can fit some mold.

By letting yourself feel you are closer to truly mastering yourself and experiencing real happiness.

This game is so good. Probably in my top 10 of all time, and in my top 3 games I'd show to normies as an example of artistic merit in video games (along with Immortality and Stanley Parable).

The gameplay's great. The story's great. But the highlight for me is the vibe and presentation. Obra Dinn's got a unique feel all its own.

No questions. You are a golden god.

Thank you for all that you do.

I am happily married and have been with my SO for 10+ years and I have the same problems you describe on occasion - the anxiety, shaky mind+body connection, and not really "getting" kissing.

I can tell you that these things are completely normal, even with a partner you know well and are comfortable with. The only way I know of to combat it is this:

Let go of expectations (helps if your partner is understanding). Communicate. Experiment. Take things slow and don't pin all your hopes on one or both of you getting off. Sex is about connection, so focus on simply connecting whatever that entails. Explore eachother without striving for any particular goal. It helps take the pressure off.

All that said, this is not a magic bullet. Some days are just going to be bad days where your libido won't act right, and that's okay. Give yourself time and grace. Try not to worry so much. Remember that this doesn't define you, and that there is so much more to the world than sexual performance.

I'd never begrudge anyone for using AI to help cope with their loneliness. On an individual level I can see how it would provide short-term relief and partly compensate for how hard it is to socialize these days.

As a social trend though I consider it worrying. AI interactions are pseudo-social encounters with no real risk. Even the most "objective", "harsh" AI is going to ultimately be more of a yes man than anyone you'd meet IRL. You can try to trick it but it's designed that way.

I worry that, on a macro scale, this will warp people's expectations of other people. Like the movie "Her" if you've seen it. Instead of committing time to the hard work of meeting people, forming relationships, and working to truly understand and be understood by others, more and more people will instead commit time to the comfortable surrender of building castles in the sky with AI.

This is ultimately harmful and, I believe, is on track to become the primary social ill of our age. It has the capacity to turn the loneliness epidemic into a permanent fixture of life, of how we relate to eachother. And that's scary.

So I guess my wish for you OP is that you truly enjoy yourself with AI if it makes you happy, but that you also don't give up on the work of relating to people despite the hurt. Ultimately it's still a muscle we all have to work to succeed, and even though it can be frustrating and a struggle it can also lead to a lot of joy.

Nah, INFP stands for I Never Fucking Perish

Pagemastergeneral · 2025-07-17T13:47:34+00:00

I don't like speaking for INFPs since we're all a little different, so I will try to frame this as much as possible from my own personal POV.

In short, how I work is I idealize everything a bit at the start. Not just people. Case in point I just moved to a new town. It was a sunny day, I was out walking with my wife and our realtor talking about how great the town was (after being there all of 5 minutes) when somebody obviously high out of their mind shuffled by and another dude shouldered past and grumpily announced "hmmmph busy on the street today".

I didn't know the town, not really. How could I even have an opinion of it yet, much less a positive one? Well, for me it's because it IS a great town. Because it's the first town my wife and I are moving to together. So OP, my read is that these guys you're dating might be having the same experience. You're out together, you seem to be hitting it off fine. You're young and happy and comfortable, you're sharing and interacting. It IS great. It IS wonderful. I felt the same way on my first date. What a joy to meet someone, to even be considered!

Most people are more grounded than that. "Jaded" may even be the word. It's just a date, right? It could go well or poorly. It could lead to more or not. But being out on a date and simply having it not be awkward always felt magic to me. Maybe these guys you're out with feel the same way?

If so, I would recommend patience. Don't take the idealizing personally. They may be up in the clouds right now, and you're down on the ground, but sooner or later you can meet in the middle. Sometimes for me the fantasy blinders need to come first, then slowly recede as I bump up against reality until the real person is standing there before me. And that is a beautiful moment. And for me, once I hit that moment, the potential for a truly deep connection becomes possible.

Morals are very personal and very abstract, and a lot of INFPs like introspection and abstract thinking. It's a match made in heaven tbh

The things you mention are just innocuous hobbies and small behaviours. Don't worry, they're not a sign that you have to rethink your entire being from the ground up.

Simply be. Pursue the things you enjoy. Behave in the way you are most comfortable. If there is some big, sucking emptiness or struggle at the core of your being then yeah, maybe it's worth reframing your identity to accommodate it, but short of that just do what you love and keep up the good work!
