๐Ÿ™ thank you for making this comment so I didn't have to.

Any groups or anything near where you are? Usually people make clubs or anything, even if it's something you hate you'll usually find it fun if there are good people there. Also just going to a park (if there is one) and reading, you can find some cool people who want to chat.

As for dating coworkers, you know your situation better than me, but most people won't care that much if you just say hey this coffee shop is pretty good if you want to go, gives them an easy out (I'm busy) and doesn't put too much out there.

I think lemmy self-selects for passionate (and autistic/adhd) people, so either way you end up with those kind of responses. Lemmy.world is where all the redditors ended up, so if it happens a lot I would block that instance. Other people will say "this is totally wrong!!! but here's why" which maybe I'm just used to because I have a few autistic friends lol

just now realizing everything I have done in my life in trying to contribute less plastic and waste less is not even 0.00001% compared to the environmental damage these executive orders are going to do.

Not the one you responded to but it's a couple things, generally just lungs feeling inflamed, difficulty taking a full breath, way more sensitive to air quality / air temperature, and a bit of autonomic (I have to use a cpap to fall asleep now because sometimes I just stop breathing as I'm falling asleep)

Pretty interesting question sorry all the redditors are downvoting this and giving you fantasy land looks don't matter replies. A couple comments nailed it, if they're out of your league then improve yourself until you're in their league, or lower your standards. Looks are just one aspect of attractiveness, being an interesting/funny/enjoyable person to be around has a huge impact. Just bring something else to the table to bridge that gap.

If you don't want to do that and don't want to lower your standards, you can't really expect them to go for you. Just have to put yourself in places where maybe an opportunity comes to you or you happen to click with someone ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ

I mean while most of this is true, saying looks aren't important to long term happiness is just not the reality we live in. Living life as someone that people don't like looking at grinds you down, ask anyone who is/was overweight.

You can do a lot to improve it, by wearing nice clothes being healthy etc, and you can make up for it by being the funniest one in the group, being the most interesting etc, but you're also asking this of people who will likely have the hardest time dealing with strangers. I experienced a massive difference in how people treated me after I started going to the gym, just a lot more people smiling at me and treating me well when I hadn't said a single word.

When the world is friendly to you when you do nothing, it's a lot easier to be confident and funny and happy, and vice versa. I'm not saying to be doomer "there's nothing you can do," but just don't ignore people when they tell you it DOES impact their lives negatively, even in the long term. Not trying to be negative it's just frustrating when people take it from "this is not what's holding you back from being with good people" (true) to "this has barely any effect" (false)

Have you never lived with anyone who cooks? I've had my friends say this to me and ive said this to them and I'm not their wife lol

How do you reconcile this with people wanting to be called longhand versions of their names? ex: John wants to be called Johnathan, we would respect that, but if John says their pronouns are Johnathan/ Johnithian, would you still call them John?

I can't seem to get freestyle gunz to connect. To note, the launcher downloads everything fine, and the game launches fine (I have to launch using the launcher.exe rather than gunz.exe or the game won't start), but it just gets stuck on "Connecting" and then the game says there was an error connecting to the server. I have followed this tutorial: https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?126443-Tutorial-How-to-run-Freestyle-Gunz-on-Ubuntu-with-Lutris and setting lutrus to use any proton version or wine version besides 9.21 I had the same issue of getting to the login page, entering my information, and it says "connecting... 2nd attempt.... 3rd attempt..." and then says failed to connect to server.

Only very old proton versions (<5) fail to launch the game at all. If I run wine cmd then ping google.com I get a regular response. Stable, Staging, and development 9.21 versions of Wine would not launch the game after clicking start on the launcher, and with the lutris configuration running wine 9.21 gives this error: 02bc:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000409 flags 1 addr 0x744b63, but running wine 9.21 with a new configuration and installing those libraries using winetricks hangs after these lines: 02c0:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_TABLE_INFORMATION action 0

I have tried running the game through steam's compatibility settings, going from top to bottom until the game no longer launched, and all had the same issue of not being able to connect, but everything else working fine. I also tried running the installer with proton, and had the same issue of not being able to connect. I tried using winetricks without lutris to install msxml3,4, 6, and xmlite, and had the same issue of the game not launching using 9.21 wine and the game launching but not connecting on earlier versions. I found another reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gunz/comments/1dwkgjq/how_to_run_gunz_the_duel_on_linux/ with someone who seems to have a similar issue of not being able to connect, but no solution.

Something maybe of note: winetricks complains I'm using a 64bit wine prefix and installing 32 bit libraries when I install msxml, but the launcher is 64 bit and the game itself is 32 bit and uses these 32 bit libraries.

I'm just running ethernet, only things that show up on ifconfig are enp5s0 (my ethernet) and lo

I recently watched a video about an unpolled change in old-school runescape that added the ability to change your character's pronouns, as well as have beards as female characters, and the community's reaction to it. Sadly, most of the runescape playerbase is pretty right leaning, with the expected reactions of "this is dumb why would they add this," "why add this unpolled," and "this is a medieval fantasy game not a dating simulator"

I wonder what people's thoughts on this are, as if you are a paying customer for a game, and the game has been promised to only add poll-approved changes, is this unreasonable and why? The game is "old-school runescape," the players are notoriously resistant to change, and are paying to keep the game as they like it. Can you pay to keep your uninclusive game uninclusive? I don't have a great argument against it past "this literally doesn't matter" which won't convince people who believe it does.

 

Hi all, I've been recently playing some somewhat old games and have had trouble with either crashing, or weird graphical glitches.

The list of games I've tried:

Warcraft III (a custom map, normal game seems to work fine) Quake 2 Spring engine 103 (rts engine)

Warcraft 3 has a glitched white bar following the cursor, and the map crashes with "access violation" as the only error, as did the rts engine. I managed to fix the crash by running a 64 bit version of spring engine, but it then had this weird graphical glitch: https://imgur.com/a/ij6FaWa I looked in the settings and kept changing anything I could think of, one was to set UseVBO=0 which fixed that graphical problem, but sometimes the game will still crash with "access violation" Quake 2 replaces all projectile sprites/trails with a circle: https://imgur.com/a/qtLR2To

I'm thinking this is a weird problem with my AMD card, because I have a computer with the same 64 bit OS and all of these games work fine on it, and I played quake 2 before on this computer with the only difference being I swapped the graphics card and motherboard (exact same model mobo) I've tried running warcraft 3 with djvoodoo and that didn't seem to help, I've read online amd cards can have issues with older games running openGL and directx. Those posts are pretty old, but they make me think I might be SOL with an amd card

specs: OS: windows 10 home 64 bit mobo: gigabyte z690 UD ddr4 processor: intel i7 12700kf gfx: amd radeon RX 6800 XT

Appreciate any ideas!

Edit: wc3 crash log: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xrfw98rs7yhy356gt725g/2023-07-30-12.35.02-Crash.txt?rlkey=dp9oiqcibo4kigeq8lpzk8s0o&dl=0 running spring with a 32-bit launcher gives me Error: Failed to allocate memory 100% of the time I run it with UseVBO=1, 64 bit launcher gives me the graphical problem with UseVBO=1, and both work fine with UseVBO=0 quake 2 issue seems resolved if I change the openGL version, though it did work fine with previous settings before changing the graphics card, apparently this is a known issue pending future release.
