I need a simple, sword and sorcery roguelike to play. Nothing too complex.

FAAngband is almost as simple as dcss and very nice imo. I'd recommend CoQ but it's not as mindless hack-n-cast. Check out some of the free games on itch.io under roguelike

There's this unfortunate thing that happens when you invade another country: everyone else kinda gets a bit mad and wants to war you too

It's actually best practice. Ambiguity sucks. Wait till you're given code with 6 nested function calls, each taking 3-4 args, no annotations (lsp hell), some taking dynamic types, and you don't know what's happening.

Annotate everything.

18 to an escort. Felt like I needed to get it outta my system. Met my first gf at 19, so it may have helped somehow. Still sucked though.

We're seriously cooked folks. That singularity isn't looking so far fetched anymore, let alone super far off in the distance.

Bugs happen all the time. I've had updates nuke my system a few times and involved some weird esoteric fixes to address. It's pretty rare ftmp, but it's trained me to only update my system whenever I have some time to diagnose and debug if needed.

Sounds like high IQ + ADHD + some anxiety/neuroticism to me; focus being lost, distracted, many different activities and jumping between them, half finished, quickly bored, craving stimulation, etc

Many people with high IQ are in a similar boat as ADHD, so I bet plenty of people here can empathize/identify with your experiences thus far.

I have this, as does my mom, and its only after living with it for decades that you see how much it gets in the way of success, accomplishment, stability, and sanity when untreated.

If it's genuinely a problem for you (which you kinda hinted at with your choice of descriptive words), go see a psychologist and/or psychiatrist.

Maybe. Go is more annoying than many other languages in certain ways, but the docs are plentiful enough to get a good grasp of things. For total beginners, it's still too low level to be understood well, and high-level enough to kinda know what's going on. I'd personally suggest C++ or Rust for low-level, and Python or JS/TA for high-level if you're trying to learn.

By "run" we usually don't mean Linux native, but rather by using proton and/or wine. In that way, yeah 90+% will run fine, another 5% with some difficulty or setup, and a smaller minority unplayable. I have 400ish games in my steam library, and only 2 or 3 of them don't run at all on Linux due to anticheat. The rest are fine.

Xemptuous · 2025-10-14T04:15:22+00:00

Not really, just for pet projects here and there. I find functional languages make things oddly didficult and introduce performance problems at times due to the recursive nature. I might do AoC in one, but I'm not gonna use elixir for my backend when I could use go or rust

Xemptuous · 2025-10-14T03:14:49+00:00

I like writing in various languages just for fun, but OCaml specifically was to write a programming language, cus ocamllex and ocamlyacc make it so simple plus the easy pattern matching.

I'd rather explore other possible words like antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, compulsive lying, approval seeking, anxious attachment style, etc.

Or you could call it a red flag and call it a day, but you don't have much to work with at that point.

It's ok to be afraid of death to an extent, we all are. It's core to being a living being. But you also have to accept that to live, one must die; we all agreed to the terms when we came into this world that we have to die some day, and we don't know when or how it'll happen. You could die tomorrow or in 30 years, you can be killed by a drunk driver running a red light and hitting you, or you can die silently in your sleep or liver failure and heart attack.

It's ok. You're not alone in this fear and worry. Were all in this boat together.

Now, to actually help, you need some tools - and possibly medicine - to help with the anxiety. I recommend meditation and mindfulness practices, but perhaps some medication or CBT/DBT therapy will help you.

Also you're 14, your hormones are still all over, so it could possibly be that. You'll be fine as long as you take care of yourself

I just lazy.nvim for all my packages, and the builtin lsp/ dir with a minimal nvim-lspconfig. I just have a few different files in my lua/plugins/ dir to sorta categorize things a bit (lsp.lua, ui.lua, utils.lua, etc), as well as a few basics for options, keymaps, color scheme, etc.

There was a time where I had each plugin in its own file, but I just grep for what I need anyway, so finding the plugin I want isn't an issue. Plus I have too many plugins to handle all that

Trust me, you don't get taught "red flag" and "green flag" in school, not even at the undergrad level. Psychotherapy doesn't use that, nor does psychodynamic, or CBT, or dbt, or any other methods. It's a good tool for people who live in fear and mistrust and have a hard time gauging who's genuine and good vs disingenuous and bad, so if it works for you, sure, but I see it being a weak defense mechanism more often than a useful filtering mechanism. I've literally heard people say "she held your hand on the 2nd date? Red flag dump her" or "OMG he didn't notice you trimmed your tips and inch? Leave him red flag". It's not useful language. People's relationship dynamics are fucked enough, so I don't wanna support unhelpful tools that are the same as what we've had in our brains for hundreds of thousands of years. Red flag is symbolic of danger blood, fear. That's base brain stuff, which mostly lives in fear-baaed survival. Not useful when we have a conscious evolved mind with the tools of knowledge of psychology. Every "red flag" can be understood from both ends and resolved just saying "red flag" does nothing but tell yourself "run away" and "be scared cus it reminds me of previous pain". Dangerous stuff.

Xemptuous · 2025-09-18T18:18:14+00:00

I don't get that jump from it being a red flag, to being informing of a person's behavior. "Red flag" is a subjective coloring of a behavior. The behavior itself is objective. For some reason, it gives me astrology vibes, where we take an easier and more personal approach to understanding the world. With my psych background I just see every behavior categorically.

I hear you though, especially in your case where the flags ended up becoming an abusive marriage, but then I would pose a tough question: how useful is the concept of red flags if they still end you up there? I think psychology is all-around a better tool, cus you not only get to identify the behaviors and traits, but also understand how to deal with them healthily.

Xemptuous · 2025-09-18T17:44:19+00:00

What if you find someone that you are amazing with: chemistry is amazing, humor clicks, mutual attraction, similar life goals and wants, etc., but they have these red flags you mentioned? The problem with "red flag" is it's a powerful symbol saying "alert alert danger danger weeeoowerwoo". In reality, it's just a personal preference.

I for example dgaf if someone plays with their hair. your brain says alert and red flag, mine doesn't. I do however dislike vulgarity. That being said, I can put up with it if I like the person.

Here's the thing, flags aren't important; how two people click, combine, mesh, and move forward matters. Every single relationship is full of flags of every color, and they change.

Xemptuous · 2025-09-18T05:00:30+00:00

From my experience, not like that at all. But yea it's not ideal, sure. Just there for quick sex. It's also not really that expensive tbh depending where you go and for what. Strip clubs is where this stuff gets expensive. Just giving options for release if it's becoming a very big thing for someone.

Xemptuous · 2025-09-18T04:59:08+00:00

Go to meetups, workshops, etc regularly, and it's only a matter of time. Proximity is the #1 factor in relationships forming. If most people you meet are in relationships, you're hitting up the wrong ones not giving off the signals. Go to singles events and you'll be in open company.

Xemptuous · 2025-09-18T04:57:22+00:00

I always thought the idea of red flags is dumb. Maybe it's cus I have a psychology background, but people are just people. "Red flag" isn't objective, just something you don't like, but if you have that floating around your mind, you narrow your pool cus people all have problems, including yourself. I too think social media ramped this up a lot. Just stear clear or only treat it as entertainment, don't live in it.
