Really? I haven't tried that since they revamped the sharing thing. I have three accounts, one for me, my wife, and one my kids share, and they're all linked. Most of the time my kids use my account, but I can easily change that if it'll allow simultaneous play (on different games).
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out!
Cool, the app that doesn't exist on my phone will access an account I don't have. I've never used WhatsApp and I don't plan to start now.
Yeah, and it's presumptious of them to access the WhatsApp account I don't have...
Right, and it depends on what "quite off target" means. Are we talking about greens becoming purples? Or dark greens becoming bright greens? If the image is still mostly recognizable, just with poor saturation or contrast or whatever, I think it's acceptable for older software.
Oh sure, I just read it as validating self-destructive habits of "incels," where they look for reasons to "justify" their victimhood. They jump to insane extremes, like saying, "I have to completely change everything about myself to get a GF/BF," but honestly all it really takes is a little bit of confidence (going to meetups you're interested in helps), practicing reasonable hygiene, and making yourself available.
No one deserves to partner with someone that later never showers and never leaves the house after they remove the mask of their true self.
Sure, but on the flip-side, finding someone you really care about does a lot to motivate you to change your habits to make sure they are comfortable being around you. The first step is finding someone you're compatible with, and that is unlikely to happen without making an effort.
Don’t tell people to conform to combat loneliness
Right, and that's not what I'm saying. Instead, I'm saying if you want a thing, there are certain expectations to get it. If you don't want companionship, that's totally fine. But if you do and you're not getting it, there are certain things you need to do to improve your chances, and whining about it online while locking yourself up in your home isn't it.
it would work
And that's probably enough. I don't know enough about HDR to know if it would look anything like the artist imagined, but as long as it's close enough, it's fine if it's not optimal. Having things completely break is far less than ideal.
The US and Ukraine are in very different positions...
Yup, it's probably in reverse order.
It's still okay in certain cess pools on the internet.
That sounds awesome!
I chose a bit of a different life path with different rewards and caveats. I'm glad you found something that brings you joy. :)
Exactly. I have something like 10-20 "complete" games because they either give 100% completion for rolling credits or I really enjoyed the game and ended up completing the achievements anyway. Of the rest, I've probably rolled credits on 80% of my "played" games, because sometimes I just lose interest before I reach the end, while still enjoying my time w/ it.
Games should be fun, and if they stop being fun, move on.
Well yeah, "putting yourself out there" doesn't mean doing things you hate, it means doing things you like that involve other people, but forcing yourself to try doing them with unfamiliar people. If you like board games or whatever, look for a local group at the library or something. But you're not going to meet new people to play with if you just sit at home.
Don't go to a dance club if you hate dancing, but that doesn't mean you should just stay home.
I don't think you'll ever find someone who matches you on all your interests, but hopefully you find someone who is willing to listen to you ramble on about them, and support you pursuing them. They'll have their own interests as well and expect the same from you.
My wife and I are both fairly introverted, and we met at a school dance that neither of us really wanted to attend. We awkwardly exchanged numbers, then texted for a bit before our first date, which was playing video games at my place. She beat me at a fighting game, and that's how I knew it'd have a chance at working out. Nothing is perfect, but we have enough overlap to have something to talk about, along with separate interests. We both like video games, but she prefers team games (MMOs, games like REPO, etc), while I like SP games. She likes to paint and read romantic manga, I'm more into sci fi and fantasy novels. We both like movies and road trips, and we have a similar sense of humor.
I sincerely believe you need just a bit of overlap to share common ground, with enough differences to keep things interesting.
I hope you can find more than contentment. If not romance, at least a trusting friendship. Maybe you have that, idk, or maybe you're happier than you're letting on, my point is that I believe everyone deserves to be happy, but that often requires a bit of discomfort to "put yourself out there" and make it possible to find fulfilling companionship.
Everyone is different of course, I just feel bad when I see someone blaming everyone else for their loneliness. That doesn't seem to be the case for you, I'm more referring to the OP here (and honestly, most of my comment here is in that context).
Anyway, finding a good fit is really hard, especially as you get older, since there are naturally fewer people available and everyone seems to be busy. Anyway, good luck with whatever fulfills you, and I hope something you or I wrote here helps someone.
