Find yourself a girl who loves spending time with you but doesn't see you as anything more than a friend.

Had a girl like that recently.
I have a personal rule to be totally honest, so I told her that I was developing feelings for her.
She left me not very long afterward.

Been workshopping the common enemy for my game. Y’know, the slime or the Goomba. The kinda thing that might end up being the game’s mascot.

Finding the balance between ugly and cute is harder than it looks.

That seems intuitive, but I have much higher standards for a long term partner than I do a short term partner.
For short term, the only requirement is physical attractiveness.
For long term, I have much more reservations. They have to be emotionally nurturing, capable of raising a family, have similar interests to me, have at least a modicum of intelligence, etc.

The more standards you have are going to make finding someone like that harder. Go out. Go to a bar or a club or something. Throw money at dating services to find people to easy way. You're going to find that blatantly listing out standards like that won't get you anywhere, because you can pretty much get gatekept yourself if another person has such high standards.

Like religion. I've been interested in many religious people that wanted me to be devout to even think about dating. It's pretty common since I live smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.

You'll be surprised what you're open to once you go out and meet people without bringing a mental checklist for you to profile them on the first meet basis. Maybe look for friends in general and network that way if you're trying to date, because your description is actually you courting someone.

Ok. This is still the Social Thread.

Anyone here got any relationship advice?
My strengths are that I can sing and I'm reasonably kind.
My weakness is that I'm Autistic (literally, not in a self-deprecating way), so my social/conversational skills leave quite a bit to be desired.

Honestly it's not as hard as it sounds when you find the right one

My last relationship I found on a dating app . Literally my first text was just "howdy" and we dated for like five months

So I guess my advice is just try a dating app

I don't know why Tinder ever let me use gifs but you'd be surprised that it works more than you think it would

I once had a guy on Tinder call me a child for liking Nintendo and he told me about how he was far more mature because he was an xbox player

lol

It strikes me as odd that a crush I had a couple years ago started gaming on DS (she was 19) whereas I started gaming on SNES, and I was legally allowed to date her.
That was my first "I'm getting old," moment.

Brashly proclaiming your maturity is a definite sign of immaturity.

Nintendo (NES) is VERY mature.
And I mean the... (you know) definition of mature. As in dudes in their 40s.

Funny how that's literally the opposite for me (though replace xbox with playstation), how the more I grew up the more into Nintendo I got

Most of my life at schoo I've been really quiet, I don't think I've shared more than fifty words with most of the people in my grade. I have no idea how to go about fixing that, "hi I know we've never talked in the ten years we've gone to school together but do you want to date/be friends?" That's not how you do it, but I have so little social experience that I don't know how to. I also live in a pretty small, semi-isolated town so there's no real chance of meeting someone new.

it's almost midnight why am I venting about my tragic lack of meaningful relationships on smashboards dot com.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Anyway how are y'all doing tonight ?

House hunting is going well, if everything works out I may be outta this ****ty apartment soon.

In other news, I’ve got a great idea for a mini-rpg. Something I can use to sharpen my skill before I create my dream game.

I feel you

I was always the quietest kid in class, I found out some people didn't wanna bother talking to me because of how quiet I was, whatever that means.

 

[Zinith]

So I just ordered both of the Oracle games from eBay, aka the least beginner-friendly Zelda games ever made. Would've just gotten them on VC if it wasn't for some rings being locked out for not using a GBA and because eShop isn't working properly on my 3DS

Why can't we just trade goats for women like the good ol' days?

How'd you confuse the Oracle games with the NES games?

Oracle of Seasons was my first Zelda game and it was not a difficult game to pick up as a kid.

Social isolation is very familiar to me.

But I’m moving to a new town soon. Good opportunity to make some new friends!

And I’m sure you’ll have a similar opportunity one day too.

Mine was Wind Waker. Never been big on portable Zelda games. Nothing against them. Just never picked them up over Pokémon.
But thank God for the Wii. It let me discover Zelda 1, Zelda 2, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. Wind Waker was backwards compatible, and Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were excellent originals.
No wonder the Wii was one of my favorite consoles of all time.

I got those games as stocking stuffers the same year I got Wind Waker and the Collector's Edition. I constantly got lost in Holodrum and Subrosia (Labrynna too if I didn't lose that game pretty early on), which is something I couldn't say about the NES games.

Also, 100% completing a Zelda shouldn't be as complicated as what those games do. If GREZZO ever decides to make Switch remakes a la Link's Awakening, that should be the one thing they change. Make it so that getting all the rings takes one playthrough of each game
