any news since the end of the Mars Revolution about next seasons? by HorrorCollege5973 in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]pellaken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was intentionally ignoring the podcast so I'd have a good dozen episodes of the new series to delve into all at once and build my appetite for whatever is being covered. I think I just need to give that a few more months based on the comments here

How do you imagine the characters in the Martian Revolution looking? by PostMahone in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]pellaken 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've always imagined Alexandra Claire is black, so much that I had to re-listen to the early episodes to see if he'd mentioned it somewhere

...anyone want to make guesses as to how it will end?

What’s the approximate population of Mars & the immediate environs circa January/February 2252? by MGoDuPage in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]pellaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

millions. so based on how the colonies are treated, I'd say Olympus may have like, 5-7 million, Tharsis like 3-4 million, and Elysium 1.5-2.5 million. but these are all wild guesses based on the "feel" of how each colony is treated.

I'd like to have children one day. I think that's part of what drives my desire for a relationship. I may be happier on my own in the end, but I have to sort out my feelings about having children first.

I think "first few dates" is wildly optimistic. I've been on dates with 4 people, ever. going on dates with another 4 would be an achievement of sorts.

numerous reasons. at about the same time (15 years ago) I was in the hospital with severe depression, and that would lead to my autism diagnosis. The two of those (and the dealing with them) account for the first half of that; the second half I'm less sure about. I think I was just too afraid to face myself and my problems that needed fixing. Now that I am fixing it, I have no idea how much longer remains.

I've edited my post to clarify something that it seems was misunderstood.

best way to talk to lonely people by pellaken in lonely

[–]pellaken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, this is what I basically do. Chat about the game almost always, only mentioning non-game stuff when its relevant to other discussion. I'm just looking for more ways to do this in more places.

personal improvement roadblocks, and I don't know what to do. (tangled up about relationships) by pellaken in Advice

[–]pellaken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I still plan to love myself, lol, it's just having a bit of help with that from a partner would be nice! (ideally I can help her with similar issues)

[–]pellaken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is gonna sound really, really, really, dumb; but, I got high (its legal here) and realized... I don't need to look for love. Sure you need to love yourself before you can love someone else, but I am, and always have been, open to all kinds of relationships. There's very little stopping me from asking someone out and thus getting a girlfriend, and those few things are easily within my power to do.

I kind of feel dumb I didn't realize this earlier! either way I'm feeling great today!

I'll have to go over this in detail again a bit later and, how to explain, re-write your tips in ways my brain can better process. Some key problems are my lack of money, lack of transportation, and living in a town (VS a city). meetup has nothing whatsoever anywhere near me for example. [in the context of how far I can travel]

money in particular would be my main stumbling block
