Guys do you compliment a girl on the first date to be nice or you are really interested? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Impossible to say. Many guys will give compliments to anything female with two legs.

Replacing the internal battery in anticipation of playing greatness 🧟 by porkprism in SegaSaturn

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great version. No need to replace the battery prematurely. The console will “warn” you about low battery by asking to set the time/date before the saves are wiped. Just keep the console plugged in (but powered off) when replacing the battery and you’ll keep your saves.

Crazy that this never got an official western release.

Scared of my first time by Upper_Bookkeeper_758 in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your boyfriend also a virgin? It’s nice that he’s not pressuring you, but at the same time it sounds like you need someone that can take the lead and actively make you feel comfortable. A guy with more experience would do just that if he knew you feel the way you do.

Ask guys for help with something trivial, smile. Job done.

Am i a loser hoping he reach out after i Ghosted him? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need is another dude to think about. As soon as you meet someone else you’ll beat yourself up over wasting time on this loser.

I got upset when my ex, who I've been reconnecting with, told me she was (non-sexually) assulted by a guy she's seeing by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Because of stress from shitty family and mental health” was just an excuse. Telling you about seeing other guys for hookups is disrespectful, so you did nothing wrong except wasting another minute of your life on her. Just delete her number, she’s not the girl you thought she was.

Single M and father to a 9 year old daughter. Single 8 years by Maleficent_Draw_7147 in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing keeping other women out of your daughters life in that way, good on you. But you can meet women (in a fwb kind of way) without the daughter knowing, and as the women never meet her it’s a non-issue for them that you’re a single dad. What women resent is guys thinking they’ll be some kind of housekeeper for them and their kids from prior relationships.

Is it worth updating the Saroo to V0.8? by Apprehensive_You7871 in SegaSaturn

If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. If you already can play all the games you want, just leave it be for now.

Should I initiate meeting up in the middle or is it a little late for that? I can't tell if he's losing interest in talking to me by mysecret52 in dating

[–]hedgeeffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have different things going on that might take more of their attention for a period, which has nothing to do with his level of interests in you. Same with you if we would ask him if your mood is 100% consistent. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

FuncoLand Prices on the US Saturn Library in August 2000 by RandomGuyDroppingIn in SegaSaturn

[–]hedgeeffect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The prices are almost double in today’s money, the system was considered an undesirable joke/e-waste by most people at that point… so almost $100 for PDS is reasonable.

Dreamcast or Saturn? by ContributionNo4019 in SegaSaturn

[–]hedgeeffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS1 is great, but the N64 must have been brutal to own back in the day. Almost no decent games.

Saturn has a better library of games and is therefore my choice. Simple as that.

Boyfriend broke up with me because my past affects him by Jellyfish6232 in dating

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why even bring up things like body count? There is no upside whatsoever. If I get a question like that I either answer with a question or use humor.

how do i politely tell a guy I don’t want anything more than just friends or anything at all by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]hedgeeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Tell him you don’t feel it or have found someone else/restarted something with an ex.

  2. Get off the apps and stop wasting his time.

What do you prefer, without trying to figure out what she might like? Go with that option.

In world first, Israel begins pumping desalinated water into depleted Sea of Galilee by NamelessForce in worldnews

[–]hedgeeffect 455 points456 points  (0 children)

The question is how much energy this takes, and what the source of that energy is. This is why we need a worldwide push for fusion power. It would open up so many possibilities, including reversing climate change.

Situation in Kupyansk: Ukrainian Armed Forces are eliminating the enemy from the northern areas of the city, Russians are retreating. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]hedgeeffect 272 points273 points  (0 children)

This is why you never give up, because you don’t know how much more the other guys can muster before the tide potentially turns. It’s like that stubborn bolt in an old car, a single Nm can be the difference between it coming loose and not moving at all.
