Sure. Hell, I wouldn't mind being in a relationship with a 50-year old woman. They tend to be so much more experienced, open-minded and emotionally mature compared to women in their 20s/30s.

Soul Reaver is objectively not obscure. Hell, iirc it was the most popular game in the Legacy of Kain series. Unless maybe in the sense that the series themselves have faded into obscurity

Watching my older sister play Sonic the Hedgehog.
Little 4-year old me was curious to try it too, though my sister only jokingly offered to let me play during the hard and intimidating-looking parts, like when being surrounded by lava in Marble Zone (or 'laven', as I pronounced it back then).

Also, apparently my sister thought it was pretty funny to wreck my nerves by regularly almost-drowning in Labyrinth Zone.

First game I actually played was Columns, when I was 5 or 6. A safe, easy and colorful start of what would become a string of addictions that would occasionally eat my nights away.

New Vegas is easily the best of the Bethesda Fallouts. I'd argue it's about on par with Fallout 1 and 2 in terms of raw cRPG affability.

I wouldn't exactly call NV a Bethesda game, as this one was merely published by Bethesda, but developed by Obsidian. It also involved some people who worked on the original 2 Fallout games, which is why NV certainly feels a lot more like a Fallout game in terms of lore and general attitude than the Bethesda-developed Fallouts.

Maybe if it wasn't so damn buggy.

There are quite a few performance-boosting mods and patches to fix that. A few of them are mentioned here:

The only good fallout games are non bethesda fallout games.

This. When Fallout 4 came out, they should've just called it Fallout 3 2.

I'm still playing NV right now. Thoroughly enjoying myself with all the mods that have been made so far.
I also really like how that despite the karma system, morality in this game isn't always black and white, and the characters are rarely comically good/evil (like in F3). It's really more about motivation Other RPG devs should learn from that.

Eh, they're kids. We dreamed about what it would be like to be movie stars or rock stars or whatever else that would have involved being rich and people being interested in you, YouTube success is just one of the modern day equivalents for their generation of "being famous"'

Good point. However, starting a Youtube channel and posting vids of yourself is significantly easier than starring in a band or movie.

D. There are at least people who don't identify strongly as being only male or female.

While I'm ok with people identifying themselves as whatever the hell they feel like, I sometimes think there are quite a few people who (erroneously) believe that not sharing stereotypical qualities of a gender excludes you from being that gender, i.e.: "Hmm, I don't think I'm like most men I personally know, so that must mean that on the inside I'm not really a man, right? So I guess that must make me a woman."

I find myself replaying it every year since it has a lot replay value, an vault worth of mods at nexusmods.com, and I'm simply a huge fan of the Fallout games (the REAL ones, not that Bethesda-developed crap called Fallout 3 & 4).

One thing particular I love about NV is the freedom. Even though there's an allignment system, it really doesn't matter what faction you join forces with or what you decide to do.
The game is made in such a way that there is always a way to progress the main story (even if you decide to go on a random killing rampage).

i didnt really like NV, story felt too goofy for me

Turning off Wild Wasteland and not playing Old World Blues helps to avoid most of the goofyness.
And don't forget this series takes place from the perspective of how people in the 1950s would perceive the future.

Honestly, I'm not thrilled about the idea of full retirement. I think even when I am able to afford retirement, I'd still want to work part-time, just to keep my mind on something and meeting other people on a regular basis.

I've met people who do that in their late seventies and early eighties who come off as more energetic than people in their early seventies who haven't done shit since retiring.
This only convinces me to keep my mind focused on something, even when I don't have to.

How do we correct this in the future?

Short of cutting out all the processed shit in our foods, altering our lifestyle to be less sedentary, and putting men back into positions of manual labor I don't know that there's much you can do.

One more reason for humanity to embrace itself with technology, not even kidding.
Assuming humanity keeps on surviving, adapting and developing, I think there will be a point where our slowly evolving biology cannot keep up with our relatively exponential growth of our sentience and development.
Eventually the only sustainable way for humanity to survive is unifying itself with cybernetics or even full-on AI.

I digress from the topic, but it had to be said, as I think a gradual decrease in testosterone is one of many examples of human biology degrading over time.

I say more unobtainable in the sense that although they are getting paid more and holding higher positions, they still tend to prefer to date men who are of higher status (or if on easy mode, of equal status) than them whether they deny it or not. Its most likely all subconscious.

[...]

Just makes it more harder for dudes these days that they just tend to give up. Then being demonized for simply being a dude on top of that. Tbh, dudes just kind of feel like they lost their purpose or dont know what is the correct way to be a male these days since there are some conflicting messages. One hand they are told to give up the power positions but then on the other hand that seems to be what women are subconsciously drawn to being attracted to.

This hits home a lot for me. I've come to realize how true this is lately, especially in the dating scene.
While I tend to avoid the blantantly superficial women, it's clear that the vast majority of women prefer taller men (as if that somehow defines the ability to protect someone), someone who is decisive, dominant, radiates confidence, never cries (except maybe if someone close died), and of course is financially stable.

Compare that to what men usually look for in a woman (pretty, sweet, loyal), it's often too much to ask if a man seeks similar things in a woman as what a woman seeks in a man. Basically, it almost feels like a lot of women want a man who is 'better' and 'higher up' than them, and indeed a 'provider'. I've noticed even women who sicerely seem feministic appear to prefer this.
While I may be a bit embittered about it, it's just frustrating how there seems to be no right option for men to behave, especially since (as several people itt mentioned) there seems to be little societal interest in psychological care for men in this regard.

Add that social pressure to the financial pressure that has grown heavier over the past few decades, and it becomes more clear how that combined pressure may grow to be too much for men to bear.

Personally I frequently feel a lot of rage and frustration about matters like these, especially since I have a low-paying job for which I'm overqualified. I do make ends meet (just) and apply to better jobs (for which I am academically qualified, but lack experience for). I've set up my own business, which doesn't generate a lot of income, but I hope at least this builds some form of relevant experience for future jobs.

I don't actually feel the desire to off myself, though I sometimes contemplate it as a way out if my money runs out in the future, when I consider that things like retirement and social safety nets could be down the drain in a few decades.

Just had to get that rant of my chest. Good topic, even if it is gloomy.

Anyone here have any experiences with open relationships?
My girlfriend and I are in one, and I've noticed that kind of scares women off, at least on Tinder. I know there are plenty of women out there who are open to short-term dating, but perhaps they think it's 'unladylike' to be honest about that?

Any advice on how to meet more 'open-minded' women? I'd rather not lie about it. Not mentioning it at all seems pretty difficult, seeing as at some point I'm gonna have to explain why we can't go to my place (one of the rules my gf and I set up is that we don't have sex with other people in our home).
