In my 20s I had something of the opposite and had a number of women interested in me who were themselves in relationships, while I was not. Enough of a ratio compared to women who were single who were interested in me (which was not a high number) that I started to wonder why.

I’m not particularly outgoing either. Probably just statistics/chance, but I always wondered if there was something to it I was unconsciously contributing to.

The Grand Apparatus from Brandon Sanderson’s “Cosmere” springs to mind.

Good sex can keep a relationship going for longer than it should, but it won’t be indefinite no matter how orgasmic.

/agree, probably the closest answer to my mindset so far. (And I do love me some old school forums. RIP Portent and Waryammer.)

Heuse & Anica: Going Insane

Kuoga: Coquette

Rok Nardin: Her Gaze

Sevdaliza: Soul Syncable

There are certainly times I’d rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.

I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.

In general not a thought I’ve had aside from that. I’ve always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.

You’d have to advertise an anti-advertisement campaign. 🥲

But seriously, I think most of this concern would fall under a subsection of a comprehensive Privacy Act.

Depending on how serious you are (but maybe not “police” serious) and also your financial situation, this is the kind of stuff a Private Investigator can do.

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
• Dave the Diver
• Another Crab’s Treasure
• Cataclismo
• Black Myth: Wukong

(*note some of these were Let’s Play’s I watched instead of played as combat mechanics like Clair/Wukong don’t interest me.)

I also spent a lot of time with an old friend, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Tribes of the East.

Edit/PS: Have to include Tactical Breach Wizards. Hilarious and very different take on the “Xcom-esque” genre. Great characterization and story. Requires a very different style of thinking to master it.

This is what I came to say if it wasn’t already.

Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would’ve made a good movie. I don’t even have an alternate casting, just, “not them.”

Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?

Presumably? There might even be a fourth layer if they go battle/planet/system/interstellar.

Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?

I doubt it. Round bases man, squares are for fantasy!
But really, I assume they’ll be in a skirmish formation.
Facing is only supposed to matter to vehicles and armour, IIRC.

Which space marine is gonna be the princess?

I am! (Actually I love my 'nids so really I’d be a queen.)

My body is ready, my laptop isn’t.

I started a Let’s Play of that and liked it so much I quit early on and now it’s on a (lengthy) backlist of games I want to actually play. It looks really fun and I love the aesthetic.

Watched it near release, loved it. +1
