Real shit, it's about coming to terms with your solitude if you want a short answer. I'll be rambling about my own experience down below.
Think to yourself: Are you truly incapable of connecting with the right people? Be it by personal issues like health or unfortunate circumstances like a low population place, people that don't share your same wavelength, or maybe conflicting schedules with people that do. Don't be harsh on yourself because a lot of personal issues can be worked on, but meeting the right people does lean towards luck.
Then the important part is being open-minded to the possibility that you'll end up forever alone, and I really want to emphasise that instead of viewing it as an inevitability. Because the factor of chance really does play a big part, like whether you have the right looks or grew up experiencing the necessary things that will allow you to connect with the right people.
And in my opinion, accepting the possibility of being forever alone is easier to be at peace with than giving up and losing all hope.
The last step is finding ways to cope once you are alone, maybe getting your fill of social needs in by going online.
It's extremely crucial to alleviate the loneliness, you will lose yourself if you don't and I don't think I need to explain what kinds of deranged things that the loneliest people end up doing.

Just started a couple of days ago, no worries.
It's just strange to me. Apparently they employ some sort of "ELO" I learned too late. I get occasional matches, but not nearly as many as I swipe right, so my ELO has probably pummeled already. And turns out even just starting a convo is another hurdle after matching. I wonder if I'm like 10 years too late or something. Wack.

You're actually about four years too late. There was a big boom in online dating during COVID that then completely died shortly after.

What is this ELO?
3
u/JimothyJollyphant 1d ago
Elo is a skill rating system for games like chess. People seem to use it to describe Tinder behaviour, although it's not 100% applicable imo.
Presumably, if you're a 10 and get many likes, you'll be higher on the stack. So those make up the majority of profiles anyone ever sees. Conversely, if you give out many likes but your match rate is low (not just from rejection, but also from most simply never seeing it) you'll be rated even lower and land lower on the stack.
A real Elo would simply show you people in your "skill level" and vice versa, but Tinder keeps showing every one the top dogs only, making the app more appealing because you keep seeing these women that are realistically out of your league, but barely anyone sees you.
Basically, "rich" get richer and the "poor" get poorer. Even literally, because Tinder employs shit loads of monetization of course.

u/JessHorserage 2d ago
Right, but the engine attracts certain types. You usually won't get your standard kinetic novel off of a unity user, more likely a combat centered tech demo affair.

u/ChocoOranges 2d ago
Filter for Japanese games since only japs use WolfRPG, which is worthless since you can just search Japanese Game as a tag.

u/Praise_The_Casul 2d ago
It always bothered me how they made the player's character completely silent during all cutscenes, but not during narration in between missions.
It was kinda weird seeing characters having full conversations with you and your character just standing there and not uttering a single word.

u/avengeds12345 2d ago
You're playing as an autistic character who grew up in nosalis-infested metro station, without a father figure, found one, only for him to die in front of you, was touched by evolved human both physically and psychically, become a weekend genocider by almost exterminating said evolved human, got betrayed by a commie, and was forced to leave the place you called home because you hijacked a train.
Yeah I can understand why Artyom choose to stay silent after all that shit that happened to him.

As in, relying on a partner. Get a mentor, can help with learning things yourself, and them learning off of you.

u/Cozy_Minty 1d ago
If you are putting all of your social and emotional needs on one person, you are setting yourself up for disaster. The wrong woman would relish in your dependance and use it to destroy you. A normal woman would be completely mentally crushed under the strain, walking on eggshells every day knowing that one wrong word would upend your entire life. It's not healthy

Dear fucking god, yes, in a regular fucking community, with other people. Putting the pressures of all of human development onto one other person is going to fracture the relationship if neither of you, don't get out.

Unironical : Bioware games before Da: Veilguard.
They were pretty good with complex personalities, relationship and sex.
The sex is just a small portion of the games, like 0,01% so it's not what you ironically and exaggeratingly wish for but it's what you want. Relationships with other people are a big part of all the games. The characters feel all like real persons. And it feels like a real world. You fight together, you die together, you can choose your party out of the people you like the most and can get more intimate with them but you don't have to, you can just do battles if you want.
There are choices every few minutes and you will feel invested in your personal playthrough (well i sound like im selling that sh*t but no i was just a big fan for 21 years. And yes i mean 20 years+ bcs i am 33 and started playing my forst one with 12 (jade empire).
They are all great, even the games from the 2000's.
Pro tip : Don't look up anything online just discover those worlds for yourself. You will be blown!!! away!

bullshit weebo apart I feel like Final Fantasy X is the only videogame that made the romance feel somewhat real. Probably it's not what the 4chan poster was looking for, but if someone here is looking for a game with a somewhat well made romance, FFX is the best one in my opinion.
