New video games.

Quick tip for anyone in this situation.

Start by using search to clear everything in your inbox from a particular sender you know wont have sent anything important.

Don’t catch up by going one mail at a time, catch up going one sender at a time. You’ll be done within a day.

Holy shit you found a real one.

Super happy to see this when I revisited the thread.

What I’m about to say, isn’t necessarily true for your guy, but it is for me.

Also, just to validate your feelings a bit, nothing you’re feeling is weird or crazy. I experience some of my strongest emotions in the context of romance, but keeping a lid on them and recognizing and controlling my feelings and the potential behaviour they might lead to, is something I’ve gotten good at. I think every seemingly sane person is doing similar emotional self-management.

And, in terms of attention, you are allowed to ask for more. Or less. You are also not required to fake the good times, unless you genuinely want to do that for someone for a bit. Doing it long term, is just straight up not healthy. A partner in life is supposed to be there both for the good, and the bad.

Showing vulnerability, is never a mistake. If someone uses it against you, that’s their fault, not yours. Still, if it happens, it’ll hurt.

I don’t know of a way to avoid that eventuality, aside from luck, or giving up on relationships entirely. And that’s not a trade worth making, imo. (Though difficult not to make, if hurt before)

What helped me, was realizing, and more importantly, believing, that any half-decent person will do everything in their power to avoid hurting others. If they don’t, then I misjudged their character, and they should not be in my life. It has made it easier for me to forgive those who did not intend it, and to walk away from those that did.

Now for what I wanted to say. I like more than one type of woman. And while I’m not entirely sure that I need my relationships to be monogamous, I always assume that monogamy is expected, and default to that behavior. I would never make light of someone elses commitment to me by assuming otherwise. And I have absolutely no problem with this. I would not start a relationship without being ready to commit in this way.

Showing interest in other people, is completely normal. Physical interest is just physical interest, and you can’t be everything a person is into.

I like short women. I also like tall women.

I obviusly cannot have both. But if I date someone tall, it won’t mean I suddenly stop finding short women cute as hell. I am FULL of contradicting interests like this.

If I commit to someone, that means I give up on having whatever that person is not. And that’s fine. That’s how it should be. If a person chooses someone in that way, that means they’ve chosen them.

The problems occur with people who do not respect the fact that they cannot have the cake, and also eat it.

That said, if you don’t like something in your relationship, you’re allowed to say so. Just be careful about it. It can be hard to communicate stuff like this, without one of you feeling like they’re under attack. In a way, you already do, which means you should probably be talking about it.

A modern compound bow will fire the arrow in a straight line, directly forwards, as the bow will have a section that allows the arrow to be shot through the space that would be occupied by the stave on a traditional bow. While the bow must obviously be gripped in line with the tension, the rest of the center section is offset to allow the archer to both shoot and sight directly along the line the arrow will travel.

How much firing then causes the arrow to bend would depend entirely on the stiffness of the arrow, but the resulting total energy being imparted is not going to be different just because the acceleration curve is different. If the arrow bends, then yes, you’d lose some energy to that.

But if anything, starting off slow and then accelerating harder as you go is the gentler and more efficient acceleration curve when accounting for that.

No.

Getting sick without already being immune leaves your body trying to speed-run anti-body development, while ALSO fighting the disease using more basic physiological responses.

And even with anti-bodies, you’re not actually impervious. You can still get sick with diseases you’re “immune” to, as even deployment of disease-specific anti-bodies is a complex biological process that can go wrong, come too late, or not be enough.

Given time, a person can develop “immunity” against a lot of stuff, but that still doesn’t mean every cell in your body is then changed in a way where that pathogen just bounces off.

You see this most recently with Covid, as people who are vaccinated still get infections, but unlike with unvaccinated people, the body fights it off in a couple days, rather than a few weeks.

But it does still takes those couple days for the latent immunity to kick in, and for the body to deploy that defense.

Another person already commented on how different components of the immune system respond differently, and might even be what kills you faster than the disease.

Depends.

Compound bows are designed such that you put in a LOT of energy where your mechanical advantage is high (at the start of the draw) then less as your mechanical advantage diminishes (at the end of the draw).

This makes the bow very “light” to pull and easy to hold drawn, but the energy with which the arrow will be fired is higher than almost any other design, save some cross-bows.

For real.

Looking up how almost any potentially deadly disease attacks a human body just makes you go “how tf do you beat that”.

The answer is usually just “your immune systems kills it faster than it kills you” and that ain’t some sure-fire defense. It’s a straight up microbiological war happening inside you.

Video games as a medium, is still new. And that state of so much you could drown in it, is also new.

Just a couple decades ago you could conceivably play every game ever made, and then be left thirsting for something new.

And games are plateauing technologically, if not mechanically. New games are no longer better, just because they’re newer, with nicer graphics, bigger worlds and smoother gameplay. That stuff has been figured out.

Now you have to make games better, by making them better.

It makes sense, unfortunately.

They don’t want to compete with older games. For a time, new games would innovate technologically and qualitatively, but that isn’t always the case anymore.

There are so many amazing games to play. If you wanted to, you could cut off all future content from this day on, and still have more than enough to remain entertained for the rest of your life.

Some studios are still pushing the envelope, but others have stuck with one “as a service” game for almost a decade now. Others still are making stuff that is objectvly unworthy of being played compared to earlier games.

If you can’t make each game better than the last, people will just go back to the last game. But if you take away the last game, they’ll go to the new game simply because the same game but worse is still better than nothing.

And that’s true overrall, too. If you like games, but can’t play your favorite game anymore, you’ll probably end up trying to find something new.

Your account only exists on one “instance”. Yours is on lemmy.world, when you want to log in, you always need to go to lemmy.world.

But you can still talk to people like me, and see the posts of people like me, and browse and sub to stuff on any instance. I’m on sopuli.xyz, and you can see that if you click my username (or anyone elses).

It would have to be lemmy.world, as thats the instance the account that posted this is on.

OP, what do you mean by “from google”??
