Me, I went to a music show last night, and after finally working up the nerve to say hello to a girl we chatted for like half an hour about horror fiction and retro video game sand she gave me her number because I didn’t have an instagram account yet (I made one now so I can trade instas like she wanted to)

Psychological watershed moment for me, never really had any luck with the ladies before and I’m glad I decided to go out and take a risk, hopefully I can see more of this lady in the future and we can vibe together :sicko-fem: :sicko-flipped:

(Yes this is a bragging post now go brag about shit in your life)

EDIT: Texted concert girl asking to meet for coffee, and referencing book she recommended which fucking slaps so far, we’ll see what happens

female coworker advised me not to wait too long and joked two days was “playing hard to get,” these zoomers don’t waste any time :sicko-zoomer:

I finally started taking my hobby of game development seriously. I have made some good progress with Godot engine. Just basic platformers and some basic menu/inventory management. I have gone from zero to .0000000000001 and I’m rather proud of it.

Godot is great. I’ve only made some dinky experiments with it so far. The 4.0 update is fantastic though and I’ve been getting more into it. If you haven’t tried it yet I highly suggest it. The new tilemaps are incredible.

I spent like two hours working up the courage to talk to her because my brain was all “she wants to be left alone, she will tell you to fuck off and pepper spray and taze you for being a creep who had the audacity to speak to a woman out of turn” but no she was chill and we talked about Silent Hill and I recommended John Dies at the End to her

And even if it doesn’t work out with this person I know I can go up and talk to someone and there is a possibility they will not vomit a stream of hypersonic velocity needles at me to tear through my flesh and organs, and might instead be all “hey you also like Terminator 2 that’s neat”

yeah, people are honestly surprising with how cool they can be. i think my anxiety around social situations stemmed from spending too much time looking at a screen. it’s easy to forget that the internet draws in and amplifies the voices of the most unhinged asocial weirdos on the planet, so taking online folks at face value was basically setting myself up for failure

For me it was having no idea how to talk to/interact with people for a long time paired with the bullying that results in when you’re a kid

I’ve gotten a lot better and just haven’t been cognizant of that
