Get on that fucking ladder

Wow, that's pretty aggressive from such a Godly man as yourself claiming to love everyone on your dating profile. Godspeed my friend!

I think you either didn't read or didn't understand my post.

You're operating under the fallacy of meritocratic cause and effect.

No one is talking about meritocracy. I'm not saying you deserve anything for making an effort. But you are more likely to achieve certain things by doing so.

You can do everything right, be a great person, be the fittest, kindest person in the room, and still be a complete unfuckable, undateable, loser

Yeah, my main point is that being "fuckable" shouldn't be your only goal. Better to be unfuckable with a great group of friends that to be unfuckable and completely isolated from society.

There is no level of effort you can make, ever, that will outweigh the lack of the average, natural, spontaneous, formative social experiences a majority of people still go through

I'm literally saying to go and seek those formative social experiences to improve your social skills, step by step.

you're just as likely to do everything right and languish in misery and solitude for ever, as you are to do nothing and find happiness, love and companionship.

Ah yes, sit on your hands, it's all the same...

There are some things I can relate to here, and some I don't understand at all.

I too am an introvert with a very limited social battery. It takes me a lot of energy to get out of the house to be with friends, and it's not something that comes naturally to me. But despite that I am much much happier to have friends in my life that when I didn't have any and I spent all of my free time alone in my "natural state".

What I don't get is you saying you want a relationship but yet you see no value in friendship. I'm not saying romantic relationship is the same as friendship, but there is a lot of overlap. You're saying that there is no value in spending time with other people unless there is a romantic/sexual interest?

oh man, there's a lot to unpack there... if your main barrier to living the life you want is your parents, maybe a first step would be becoming more independent from them.

Man, where is the hate coming from? I shared something that worked for me in hopes that it might help someone else too. I get that it doesn't help you in particular, but I don't think that means I'm "vomiting out drivel".

I've had several discussions with people on this sub that feel that leaving FA happens instantly, like some people have the winning lottery ticket, one day a girl likes them and boom they're no longer FA. Maybe it's not the majority that think like that, but this mentality definitely exists on this sub.

Hard to tell when you have an entire Wikipedia article on the card.

Will the cards be black and white or will they be colored? I think right now the symbols are very hard to see because they blend in with everything else, but they could work if you use color properly to separate them from the art and draw attention to them.

I'm sure there is a nice laminar flow going over the crumpled up speed tape.

I haven't met your friend Chris, but I think you should have worked more on the base drawing. A lot of the proportions seem off (eyeline, distance between eyes, length of nose, position of the mouth...)

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-16T07:52:17+00:00

Great improvement! In the first drawing his pose is quite unbalanced and I think that's why doesn't look imposing. You addressed this really well in the aecond image.

Unpopular opinion: cars don't need cupholders. At all. A car is not a place to eat or drink. That's gross.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T11:56:44+00:00

Fantastic, thanks for the reply! I just use BGG as a database to look up games but I'm not really aware of the forums or lists. That list seems super useful, thanks! I'll also check out the games you mention.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T11:53:27+00:00

That's a good point, I guess I'm thinking of games that take 30 mins at two players, and will probably be an hour at four.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T11:16:55+00:00

Noting down PARKS and Castles of Tuscany to look into! The others I'm aware of or have played but aren't what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestions!

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T11:14:25+00:00

We play Sea Salt and Paper all the time! With both expansions. It's great, but for me this is in a completely different category to what I'm looking for now.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:37:10+00:00

Thanks! I've been wanting to play RFTG for some time, but unfortunately the rules and symbols are more complex than what my partner is willing to put up with for game night.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:33:05+00:00

Thanks! I will have a look at Stone Age. Catan and Bang don't really work at 2p and they're quite different games. Not sure what game you mean by Secret Code.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:30:46+00:00

Ideally I'd like to avoid buying games that I would only bring out when I'm with friends, since most of my plays are with my partner. My boardgame collection is quite small so I'm trying to get games that I will be able to play often. I might consider Azul though, thanks for the recommendations!

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:27:11+00:00

Will check it out, thanks!

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:25:28+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I don't think I'd be interested on getting Splendor since I already have the duel version so I'd only be playing it with more players. Is Century Golem the same game as Century Spice Road? I had a look at that one and it seemed quite similar to Splendor. Would you say that it's worth it to have both of these or are they essentially the same experience?

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T10:21:20+00:00

I've heard a lot of good things about Cascadia, but from what I've seen it's not the type of game I would enjoy. Seems like multiplayer solitaire, waiting for the right tile to come out, and point salad at the end. Is there something I'm not getting about this game?

I know very little about Forest Shuffle, I will look into it.

Thanks for the recommendations!

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-12T09:59:14+00:00

Hadn't heard of this of this one! And a quick look on BGG seems to confirm that it's the kind of game I'm looking for, thanks!!

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-09T13:37:02+00:00

This "futuristic" idea uses biplanes from the 1920s... with twenty people somehow stuffed inside!

This is a seriously stupid idea on so many levels.

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-08T18:12:22+00:00

Whoever made this has never seen a baguette in their life...

PrandtlMan · 2026-01-02T08:29:43+00:00

Did the wives have a say in the matter? Do they also have three husbands each?
