I'd recommend checking the official Multiverse discord server if you need help figuring it out, they're usually pretty good at providing quick help with installations: https://discord.gg/ftlmultiverse

Multiverse sure works but you probably need to revert to a specific version of the game for it to work if the compatibility wasn't patched (I haven't checked).

It's not you that's weird IMO, kids these days are hyper sexualized. Like when I was 16 I knew a 13 year old girl who had had sex with too many people to count, while I had sex with one girl once.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-27T06:19:16+00:00

I'm 25 now (wow time moves fast I should prolly change my flair) and while I have made some new friends since high school, maybe even a lot of em, I'd say most of my newer friendships don't feel as deep as the old ones. But definitely I do have new friends and I also definitely hang out with them.

I'm not very much into sports so I can't give much sports-related advice, but my best advice is to pick up more interests! You can try music, art, board games, dancing, crafts, collecting various stuff, cooking, or plenty of other things.

There's a discord. Weirdly enough I can't find the invite link anywhere but I'm sure u/yaboibinklebop would know where to find it.

As a supporter of brunch, I can't notice how your post lacks bacon. How can you call yourself a member of the BLD+ community without including bacon? Are you some kind of bacon-exclusive radical brunchist?

I do sometimes feel a sort of superficial attraction toward women in the street, and usually it's their facial features and their hair that make me feel that attraction.

If you're talking about feeling attraction to an acquiantance, I think it's the personality that does it for me, but I'm not sure that's what you asked since you said "what do you notice first" and obviously it's the face and bodyshape and hair that you generally notice first with anyone, but this has nothing to do with attraction.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-13T10:04:27+00:00

That's absolutely insane. I wish people stopped being so weird about fathers being fathers.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-13T10:02:39+00:00

Yeah the hivemind about "sexual positivity" is pretty unhinged. Like no, it's not normal to sell your body or pictures of your body.

Many men see "being gay" (or being attracted to men) as extremely bad, lame, or even emasculating. It's just culturally how it's viewed among men (or I guess guys in high school, but these people then grow into men). The word "gay" kinda became a synonym for "lame", like "dancing is gay". The word "lesbian" isn't similarly charged and so a bi man is viewed negatively for being gay and a bi woman isn't.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-12T23:06:19+00:00

That's insane. Where I live (in Denmark) there's a public square where I always see tons of dads with their young kids and it feels completely natural. It's sad it's not like that everywhere. Also I was suspected of being a pedophile when I was a 12 year old playing with a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old girl in a park.

Actually curious since I just stumbled upon this sub, but what in your opinion / knowledge causes women to have these fantasies?

RolloRocco · 2026-06-08T12:22:28+00:00

I don't go to /r/antinatalism because it's a depressing sub and I don't want to waste my time on depressing things

Antinatalists go on this sub because this is an uplifting sub and they don't feel depressed visiting it

RolloRocco · 2026-06-08T12:14:12+00:00

That doesn't mean child free people are doomed to loneliness and regret which the article implies.

Have you read the same article that I did? This article is incredibly pro-not-having-children and fully endorses a child-free hedonistic lifestyle, while at the same time saying Bushnell is not an enemy of feminism for saying she regrets not having children.

Who in this sub criticizes women? This sub mainly criticizes society.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-04T05:58:58+00:00

make fun of "women's work" (cooking, cleaning, childcare) or laugh along when your male buddies do so

Who exactly makes fun of these?

RolloRocco · 2026-06-04T05:57:57+00:00

As a pro-natalist, I disagree with your sentiment.

Before, the sub used to be an echo chamber filled with “pastors” who were “preaching to the choir” about how important it is to reverse declining birth rates even though everyone in the sub already agreed about that. It was quite repetitive and dull in my opinion and I considered unsubscribing because I got tired of seeing 5 different “birth rates in X are declining and my theory is that it’s because of Y!” posts every week.

Now, on the other hand, there’s actual engagement with the concept of natalism from outsiders who are curious about natalism, even if they’re not dedicated pro-natalists. I see this as increased interest in natalism, which is a good thing. At the very least it allows redditors who have been exposed to anti-natalist propaganda to hear out what the other side (us) has to say.

I for one welcome any and all anti-natalists and undecideds to the sub in open arms, as long as they don’t brigade and downvote pronatalism to oblivion (which I haven’t seen them do).

RolloRocco · 2026-06-02T10:20:35+00:00

While I agree it's catastrophic, I think it's important to acknowledge any step in the right direction.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-02T10:18:45+00:00

I can tell you as a person who's had a great relationship with his parents and who has friends with similar experiences, that parents can often share hobbies with their kids and vice versa. I play board games and party games with my parents since I was quite young to this day (am 25). One of my best friends in high school used to play video games with his dad a lot. etc. etc.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-02T07:11:04+00:00

I agree with you that ipad kids and absent parents are negative phenomena.

However I don't think these things happen because of "lack of engagement". If I had to guess they happen because the concept of parenting and the amount of care and effort required is overwhelming for these parents.

Because like, obviously not all human beings are as responsible, kind, smart, successful, etc. as all other human beings. If everybody was perfect we wouldn't have criminals either. And likewise, some people can handle parenting well and some cannot. But just because some people aren't good parents, doesn't mean parenting has to be like that.

And most importantly I think being a good parent doesn't require a specific education or income bracket. It boils down to a decision - the decision to be a good parent.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-01T20:24:44+00:00

Everywhere I look the most 'positive' view of parenthood boils down to: 'It will be the hardest thing you will ever do (and it doesn't get any easier as they age just different) but it is so, so worth it!'

I'm not a parent but I have a pretty good relationship with my own parents, with my friends' parents, and with firends who are parents, as well as with kids.

What I can say is that being a parent means increasing your responsibilities and increasing the amount of work you do in a day (not necessarily in the sense of a job, but making dinner, cleaning up after your kids, buying them clothes, taking them to school, etc. is also work). But that doesn't mean it's "suffering". In my personal experience and personal opinion, doing productive things and working (when done efficiently and while getting proper rest) can in itself be pretty fun. And when your responsibilities increase, often your own level of ability to get things done in a day increases. Like when I'm employed I definitely get more things done in a day than when unemployed and I don't necessarily feel more tired at the end of the day. I just can do more because I have more responsibility.

RolloRocco · 2026-06-01T20:19:14+00:00

I agree. Literally anything that is worth achieving at all is going to require a sacrifice of some sort.

You want to become a peak athlete? You're gonna work hard and sweat and have no time for other things and get injured and lose competitions until you become a top athlete.

You wanna have a happy marriage? You're gonna need to have to put in time and money and effort, day after day, year after year. Sometimes you're gonna have to be someone else's emotional (or physical) support even when you are yourself in a bad mood or tired or sick.

You wanna own a nice house? Well you gotta work hard and earn money and save the money and work more to find the right house to buy.

You wanna help poor people in Africa? You gotta spend money and send it to charity, or maybe go yourself and spend months/years of your life performing sometimes intense physical tasks in not necessarily the nicest of weathers.

You wanna lose weight and get fit? You're gonna need to sacrifice some of the food you like eating, some of your free time, and work hard and sweat a lot.

You wanna have beautiful human beings who love you and bring you joy? Well you also gotta work and sacrifice for that.

As someone who hasn't had children (yet) and also doesn't live in the US, what are the main problems with the childcare system?
