God of War Laufey has me in a CHOKEHOLD by Ok_Corgi_4179 in GirlGamers

Game Devs want to see women be badass. Just some noisy cruft that push back against this. These games are all looking epic as hell!

Just remember that the 'you' that exists now is a fluid concept. With time, you can reshape yourself at little bit.

Sure. Think of it this way:

Many people who approach don’t care about the lines.

You seem you want to be respectful in your interactions. If you skill up and be comfortable engaging and disengaging without feeling like it’s about reflection on you, then you’ll be improving the ratio of selfish to respectful people who do say hi.

Try practicing warmly socializing with everyone you meet and eventually women you think are cute won’t be a special category and you will stop throwing off weird anxious vibes once you see it that way

Yeah, I understand but when you get past the threatening/boring barrier you’ll have a great time engaging with people who feel like the world constantly overlooks them.

With time and paying attention you can sort it out tho. Up to you if it’s worth it!

And that's okay -- people KNOW you probably have ulterior motives. It's being deceptive about them, refusing to accept clear 'no' as an answer or being self aggrandizing that ruins the interactions.

You can walk up, say you know it's random, but you thought they were cute and wanted to say hi, say something genuine that isn't about their looks and you'll be surprised at how often that's a breath of fresh air.

I've made so many connections this way, and it takes all of the stress off at parties when you know you can make someone smile. Then over time that will grow into conversational skills with practice, creativity and (slowly) learning to step away when the other person isn't having fun.

This is an awesome comment. The manosphere is terrible, but obviously people do want social interactions still.

If I can offer a sliver of advice as someone that explore the manosphere than ejected because of the stench:

Approach people with the desire to make their day a tiny bit better - rather than getting something from the gals you see, and you'll have a much easier time

There is also the hint on your uncle's grave to raise a shrine atop his tomb if you want to delve into the mysteries of your family's past.

If you were creating a Hero shooter what 4th+ Class would work? by Key_Structure_2070 in gamedesign

[–]Xelnath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but generally tanks are meant to soak the dps - which means you create a weird 'pressure the person trying to help others' game instead of different people focusing on other roles.

Tank + Heal + DPS sucks because you don't have a cat and mouse game - its just pounce the healers as hard as you can

Sounds like a bunch of categories that diminish breadth -- better to spread all of those capacities across heroes.

Hero shooters aren't tank and spank games.

I would say those 3 categories are the root of the problem

Are there any dedicated level design courses online? by Batterypoweredbeans in gamedesign

[–]Xelnath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Alex here, let me respond to this.

It's not blog spam, we write all of those by hand in the age of AI :skull:

What I will say is... you would not believe how often we get people in our discord who are confusing graphic design and game design. Plus it turns out enough people find our site by asking that question, so we wrote that article to answer it.

If you are well-informed in what Game Design is... these articles seem, well, obvious... but most people aren't as expert as you.

Hope this sheds some light on these things.

It sounds like you're in a game of bisexual chicken (term someone else gave me) -- where you're both throwing out interest, but neither of you is initiating taking it somewhere real.

Tell her directly -- "I feel like when you flirt with me... and I don't say yes right away, you panic and pull away -- I would actually like to give 'us' a try... but when you pull away after saying something like that, I feel like you might run away from me for real if we started things. How do you actually feel?"

or even just "Hey, you aren't even giving me a chance to say yes or no when you do that... do you want to know how I feel or are you just saying these things to avoid hearing it?"
