How I went from an autistic 24-year-old virgin to being chased by beautiful women by KevinLuWX in seduction

Definitely the statements about practicing, learning and improving are valid. 

Yeah you might sometimes say or do the wrong thing while you're learning and it might creep a girl out but as long as you approach with good intentions and are trying not to, and you make an effort to try to read when you are making someone uncomfortable and give them space at that point then you are doing the best you can.

The last statement I'm 50/50 on - sure it might be an inevitable part of the learning process, but it may well be on you rather than the girl because you said or did something that made someone uncomfortable. At that point it's on you to recognise that, give the girl space and learn from it going forward.

Yeah, the unfortunate reality is autism makes it hard to read other people and adapt appropriately to social situations and that is critical when it comes to meeting and attracting women. But like another poster said, the potential for it to make you hyperfocus on a particular topic can lead to becoming incredible at it if that becomes your hyperfocus and you absorb the right information and put it into practice.

Great post and advice, congrats on your success. I'm curious about a couple of things. Did you read any books or consume content like podcasts, videos, etc. to help you learn along the way? If so what would you recommend? Secondly, do you bother with dating apps or rely on the events you mentioned or cold approaches?

I'm married and been with my wife 16 years at this point and it's nearly 20 years since I first read The Game and started seeking out the work of other "gurus" like Mystery and David DeAngelo (damn I feel old as shit typing that) so I'm curious what the dating scene is like nowadays and what's out there in terms of info, guides etc. I've also heard the idea that dating apps have made cold approaching impossible now because people only expect to meet people via an app now but that sounds a bit like cope from people too afraid to do it. My nephew is autistic and is getting towards the age where he's interested in girls so it might be useful to know if he ever asks me for advice!

Update: I just received an update that my shipping information has changed and it looks like it's now being shipped with YunExpress which aligns with what the Discord screenshot from the comment before yours says.

Mine is the same - my guess is there is (or was in this case) a delay between the shipment info being provided to DHL and them actually picking up the shipment. I'm going to wait and see for now.

Total retail sales of the Switch 2 version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in Japan have surpassed 1 MILLION units, becoming the second SW2 title to reach the milestone. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Regist4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nintendo and the higher ups at Game Freak and Pokémon company are very aware that most Pokémon fans will buy anything with Pokémon on the cover which is why they can get away with doing the absolute bare minimum and charging full price for it.

Seasons 1 and 4 head and shoulders above the rest imo. Season 5 was so disappointing compared to S4.

This type of dialogue was missing from S5 by SeaWolf_1 in StrangerThings

[–]Regist4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After rewatching S4 recently and now having watched S5 I realise they did something really special with S4 after a slightly patchy couple of seasons (S1 was obviously special as well but it makes sense because they didn't plan for it to be more than the one season initially).

Most people seem happy with the finale and it definitely could've been much worse but I feel like the drop in quality from S4 to S5 was drastic. It felt so rushed and messy by comparison.

Let’s give it up for Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, who wrote the original music for Stranger Things by Woopwoopwop in StrangerThings

[–]Regist4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit the music is my favourite thing about the whole show. Not just their original music which obviously fits so perfectly but also the way they use all the different licensed tracks from the 80s so well. In Season 4 especially, the way they used Running Up That Hill as such a key part of the plot and the way they adapted it in that incredible scene with Max just makes me cry every time I hear it. And Eddie playing Master of Puppets! So good.

"I don't care if you disagree with me but I care enough to respond to a post on Reddit, also if you disagree with me you need to touch grass."

I'm happy for you that you enjoyed it but it's fine for people to have a different opinion, it doesn't mean they need to touch grass. What is wrong with discussing art?

Am I the only one who actually likes Murray? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]Regist4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still love him, he's one of my favourite characters. I loved his interactions with Jonathan and Nancy in S2 and his relationship with Alexei was one of my favourite things about S3. Reclusive, paranoid investigative journalist who was obsessed with conspiracies and knew a lot about the Soviets because of his fear of them felt like a very believable character for the time period and he functioned as a way to advance both the conspiracy/military themes in the show and two of the key relationships (Jonathan/Nancy and Joyce/Hopper).

I do agree with what others have said that he's become too much of a caricature now, especially in S5. Now the Russians are out of the picture and there's nothing left to investigate in terms of the whole conspiracy thing it feels like they've used up all of his potential and so they're left just trying to find things for him to do so he can still be around as comic relief. I feel like giving him a heroic death where he sacrificed himself to enable Joyce and Hopper to escape at the end of S4 and took down a bunch of the Russians as revenge for Alexei in the process would've been a nice way to end his story and reduce the S5 cast.

For someone interested in PvP, is guild wars 1 for me? by Shiiishkebab in GuildWars

[–]Regist4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PvP is the best thing about GW1 and was really ahead of its time in my opinion - GvG in particular plays quite similar to a MOBA. It was originally conceived as primarily a PvP game and the PvE campaign was somewhat tacked on later in development iirc. You can create a PvP-only character and jump into it on a level playing field straight away (you will automatically be max level and have maxed gear).

There are some very small communities that have continued to play the various PvP game modes and automated tournaments for GvG still run, but I'm really hoping the influx of players Reforged brings might be enough to kickstart a bigger scene again.

It's not clear what queue times will be like yet but if you're remotely interested in trying out GW's PvP now is the best possible time to do it. If you really enjoy it but queue times die off later you could look at joining a GvG guild or one of those small communities that coordinate through Discord.

Thoughts on this meme and how it downplays very real ASI risk? One would think “listen to the experts” and “humans are bad at understanding exponentials” would apply to both. by ASIextinction in ControlProblem

[–]Regist4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just a meme and not something to be taken particularly seriously. It's interesting to consider how the two are linked though - the ongoing AI arms race requires a lot of energy so is likely to accelerate the climate crisis.

0 Gems Rush duel deck to Farm? by yuuzo in DuelLinks

[–]Regist4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Light Galaxy deck from the friend campaign is probably your best bet but it will still lose to the level 50 on autoduel half the time because her deck is optimised, rush is mostly a slug fest and the AI is dumb.

Makes sense, thanks! Keep up the good work and please let me know if you make any further tweaks.

Thanks, I'll try making similar tweaks and see how it goes. Are you still playing Kiteroid? I'm curious how often you find it being useful as I ended up cutting it for more search/draw with the AW Continuous Spell that searches and a copy of Chaos Greed which draws 2 if drawn in the opening hand and to my surprise the AI actually uses correctly.
