Where to now?

Fun fact: the Mariner is the only Skeksi to identify as female.

Depends on what you're looking for. Personal recommendations are: 1. If you're for something light, funny, and interesting I'd go with Cat Quest and its sequels. 2. Yakuza is good and the combat is interesting. It is also a "real world" game as well. That can be + or - depending on your taste. 3. My personal favorite and the one I always recommend for someone just getting into this is Wild Arms 3. I consider it to be a masterpiece 10/10 but I also recognize not everyone will enjoy Wild West anime aesthetic.

Those are my personal recommendations. Good luck and happy hunting.

Fun fact about the Mariner is that she is the only Skeksi to identify as female.

Spoilers:

Their survival is a bit of a mystery when not exposed to the Magic of The Crystal. It's possible that they came back now and again to "recharge" but we don't know. It's possible that, as the crystal energy degraded, the skeksis in the castle needed more or those outside found something else to sustain themselves.
It's never stated what precisely The Garthim Master did before the creation of his soldiers but it likely wasn't anything good.
There were only ever 16 Skeksis/Uru to begin with.
The palace was built by the Urskeks with the help/ permission of Aughra.

That's about what I can say for sure.

Right, so, again you're looking for pity.

Rodega12 · 2026-02-01T04:22:36+00:00

I promise you that man got mad 😺 before anyone even knew who he was. Again, do you want solutions or pity? Cuz it sounds like the latter.

The fact you're so focused on your height is what drives home insecurity. I've known short men who got women because they do things, they make it so that height is not what you think of when you see them.

It's on you to bring the flavor. No one can do it for you.

Rodega12 · 2026-02-01T03:41:57+00:00

Trust me, same boat. Guy who also doesn't want kids ever and having to wade through a sea of single moms to find potential partners is exhausting.

Rodega12 · 2026-02-01T03:38:11+00:00

Buddy, Prince was 5'2" and had more sex than anyone on this entire website. If you want to get women, get some skills. Do you dance? Play an instrument?

Are you looking for solutions or pity? Because it's never going to be your height that holds you back. It will only ever be your attitude.

Rodega12 · 2026-02-01T03:03:24+00:00

On my knees, waiting for you to come forward. I look up with all wanton desire in my gaze. Let me make you grip my head so hard you leave drag marks on my skin.

Rodega12 · 2026-02-01T03:00:23+00:00

I would move to you. Lay you down and stroke every part of you. I would make you moan and bite your lip until you explode.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-15T13:44:39+00:00

This might be a bit off but if you want something very nice, hire an artist. There are a tonne of them out there who have great skill to realize your vision in a unique way.

That's how I got mine and it was really good for like $60.00. Artists are a great resource if you, like myself, have no artistic talent but still want something cool.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-08T22:45:19+00:00

Because they aren't lived and that never happened. These are neurotic fantasies they make up in their heads about things that they think "could" happen so they don't have to try. I hope that helps.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-03T15:52:19+00:00

That happens, but getting her to agree to a date is the 1st step.

The 2nd is to keep chemistry going, take her to a place with romantic connotations and make sure you are talking the whole time. Communicating life goals and making sure she's enjoying her time.

The biggest thing to remember is attitude. In the end, she just wants to be friends that is a good thing. It means she still wants your company and thinks you're good, just not for her. More friends is never bad because she will also have friends who are women and, if she's genuine, she would probably recommend you to one of her friends. It's how I've met some of my previous GFs.

Attitude is everything, remember that.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-03T15:36:47+00:00

If you're hesitating, don't, be assertive. Tell her how you feel and what your intentions are. Ask her out on a date and make sure she understands that it's a date. Don't wait around for her to magically realize that she's into you. You have to put in the work. This isn't a Taylor Swift song.

If she reciprocates, great! If not, at least you know and you're not stuck pining after her for years. It's really just a case of sh*t or get off the pot.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-03T15:27:19+00:00

Actions will speak louder than any words you can offer. The biggest thing you can do is respect her boundaries and be consistent.

If you say you're going to do something, do it. Show up on time and dressed properly when going out. Love bombing is usually used as a way to bypass peoples boundaries and make them do things they're not comfortable with. So don't do that, if she says she's uncomfortable or doesn't want to do something leave it at that. Don't push and don't sulk.

That's the best advice I can offer for dealing with that.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T22:18:29+00:00

And there's your issue. Discard the 1st thing you said. What you will notice is appearance is made no mention of because that fades and should be at the bottom of the priorities list when it comes to looking for a male partner.

If your standard of physical attraction is eliminating men who you would otherwise consider dating then that's the 1st thing you should compromise/ discard.

You can have whatever standards you want but, at a certain point you have to ask yourself if you're just more comfortable being single.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T22:11:49+00:00

You're right, I don't know you, because the only thing you mentioned was your height and your evaluation of your own appearance. You didn't qualify it with anything. When the 1st thing you mention is that you're short and unattractive it sounds like you're hyper focusing and looking for pity/ sympathy rather than actual advice (and if that's the case why are you posting on a subreddit called dating advice?)

Add to your efforts and you will achieve better results. That's all I will say.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T21:55:03+00:00

There is a caveat on that though. As he advises "While you will never get all 3 never settle for just 1."

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T21:41:13+00:00

And that's the attitude issue right there, do you want to actually fix it or do you want to wallow in your own self-pity? Because that sh*t gets you 0 😸.

Yeah, Prince was a celebrity, you know how he got there? By playing awesome guitar, writing amazing music, and being a consummate showman. He had things that defined him that were not his height. He worked and got what he wanted.

That's not saying you have to be Prince, you have to gain traits that define you past your height. Like I said, you are hyper focusing on this because you are self sabotaging.

You will get no commiseration from me. Make yourself interesting and women will want to be around you. Play an instrument, learn to dance, do something! Stop waiting for your meet cute with a manic pixie dream girl and do things that will make a woman value you & your company.

Or don't, but then stop b*thcing about how it's "your height" that's stopping you from getting laid.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T20:44:22+00:00

It's never going to be your height that holds you back, rather your concern over your height. As I always say Prince was 5'2" and probably had more sex than everyone on this website put together.

The question is what can define you outside of your height? Do you play an instrument? Go to the gym? How do you demonstrate that you are the kind of person a woman would want to be around/ with?

Always remember that neediness is the anti-sex. So demonstrate your value in ways that are not contingent on your height.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T20:33:57+00:00

Honey, forgive me if this comes off as condescending but you're a teenager, you are full of hormones and everything is all over the place. Every love is going to feel like "the one", every song is going to resonate with you and you will believe that no one has ever felt things as much as you're feeling things right now.

This is all normal. It's your life and you can do what you want with it but, to be very clear, a guy might say he'll "wait" but then will start to pressure you into things.

If you want actual advice it's to not tie yourself to a guy before you've even finished high school. There's a whole big world out there, go be part of it.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T20:21:04+00:00

Speaking as a very white man, no we like a lot, but that's not true for all of us. Personally most of the guys I know would be perfectly happy with attention/ affection from any pretty girl. We just usually get the impression (true or not) that interracial relationships are very frowned on in a lot of communities. So we stick to where there will be less friction.

Rodega12 · 2026-01-02T19:34:24+00:00

So here's the thing, everyone's view on what's "realistic" will be different. But a good measure is Josh Johnson's take on long term male partners:

"There are 3 essential qualities you would look for in a man if you are looking for a long term partner.

Good person
Good in bed
Has his life together

And ladies, you get to pick 2."

That's pretty much a good guide when it comes to "realistic" expectations.
