with the exception of two brief situationships I was in cus women suck.
This is part of the problem. You’re blaming an entire gender because you ended up in situationships.
Even if those two women are 100% at fault, you’re not just blaming women, but saying that all women “suck”.
women don’t wanna be talked to for more than small talk
This is part of the problem. Why are you talking “to” women and not “with” them? What do these two different phrases (“talking to” and “talking with”) look like? There’s a huge difference.
Plus getting out is anxiety provoking
This is part of the problem. It’s natural for some people to have anxiety. If you have the means, see if this can be treated by a specialist.

I’ve heard it’s 30%, or whatever the same as Steam is

- Comment on More Online CO-OP Games should have option to pause 3 weeks ago:
- Give all players a pause limit. A certain number of minutes per game and per pause, and a number of pauses. Players can’t pause anymore after going over their time limit or pause count limit. The game resumes after a pause’s time limit is reached.
- Pausing should happen after a delay of a certain number of seconds. So a player hits pause, countdown starts before actually pausing.
- Resuming from a pause also has a timer.
- Players’ pause stats are retained. People who take more pauses or spend more time pausing the game get matched with each other.

Most are at airports, but it’s amazing to me that number one is a shopping mall in Canada… albeit Canada’s Texas.
The other non-airports were media-related amusement parks (mostly Disney)

No wonder the last guy thought we got disconnected 30s in after I told him I was unplugging my router.
“Sir? Are you still there?”
“Oh, yes. I was just waiting with the router unplugged.”
“Oh. Well… it’s probably fine now.”
“But it’s only been like 30 seconds.”
"Oh, has it? Well…uh, ok I guess.

There was probably some peak, but I don’t think games as a whole every “just worked”.
If it wasn’t a problem with the game, it was a problem with your hardware.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 5 weeks ago:
Notice I wrote in present tense
Immediately after saying “some history is in order”.
Square Enix didn’t give us the original Final Fantasy nor the original Dragon Quest. They give us those games now. But writing as if they were always one company feels like rewriting history.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 5 weeks ago:
Some history is in order. The two most influential JRPG developers are Square Enix and Nihon Falcom. Square Enix gave us Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
Uhh… credibility lost. They’re saying history is in order and they immediately begin by rewriting history.
Squaresoft and Enix were two different companies for decades, particularly when they were giving us Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

If you mean games, yes.
If you mean consoles (like the post suggests), then what they’re saying is that your strategy won’t work…at least if you want to buy them new.

Oh, interesting! Is parental consent legally required for certain ages to date in some places?
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 months ago:
I was asking if they thought that people under 18 shouldn’t date.
15 and 16 pair work by the 1/2 + 7 rule, but not by “Anything goes 18+” rule

- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 2 months ago:
I thought bar food is tipped the same as restaurant food.
Tipping a dollar a drink is standard because
- It’s easy
… that’s really it. No thinking, no math, etc. which is important when you’re drinking.
Also, you too per drink so the bartender knows you tip right from the start.

Because they get neutered/spayed
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 months ago:
Your title says “What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time”.
You were thinking of “your”, which is possessive. “You’re” is a contraction of “you” and “are”; the apostrophe is a hint there.
- Comment on What’s the best written Pokémon game? 2 months ago:
Probably a Mystery Dungeon game. I’d go with Gen 5, having not played it on ages, for a mainline game.
Scarlet/Violet was surprisingly decent, at least in the end-game.

Haha, it wasn’t the end of the sentence, but I don’t think the rest of the sentence meaningfully changed that particular clause!

- Comment on Fan hacks Animal Crossing to make it compatible with GameCube Keyboard Controller and much more 3 months ago:
The GC didn’t have a keyboard, so it was useful for MMORPGs. Not sure if I should be pluralizing that, though. It might’ve only been PSO.
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 3 months ago:
If he’s living with you, you could try to block it at the router/firewall level.
On the machine, I’d just make it really slow rather than block it outright. Make it as unpleasant as possible to access those sites without blocking them outright. Making them slow makes it look like the sites suck. Blocking them makes it look like you did it or some conspiracy thing.
But if he lives with you, blocking them from your network is perfectly ethical imo
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 3 months ago:
I got the base game for free a few years ago.
I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition…on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)
One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 3 months ago:
“impacts” has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it’s common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.
I’m not afraid of language evolving.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 3 months ago:
If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.

Yes.
And I see that you asked a different question in your post, too.
Yes to that, too.
