I feel like i see a joke or comic like this every two months.

Here's the thing, if you are unsure about the messages you're receiving and decided not to act, you did the correct thing. You were wise not to interpret uncertain signals as signs of romantic interest, no matter how clear they were in hindsight. If a woman is interested in you, the onus is on her to make that unambiguous and take the next step, because she's not the one who's advances could be mistaken as dangerous.

You did the right thing.

Huh, the commenter mentioned it really casually but its a fun fact that Peter is actually just a nickname for the apostle Simon that does essentially mean Rocky or Rocko. The original name Petros just means rock like in the word petrified.

Hey listen I'm not trying to read too far into this or anything but if op's source is actually accurate then doesn't that pretty well refute what you're saying?

Boomer Rome telling the other empires that Spain is just a phase.

You're right Rome historically loved those provinces like children. Oh man ya and those empires have all historically treated Italy so well!

Ya, and then he spent pretty much the rest of his life trying to destroy her reputation and disparage women in general. Pope was one of history's first notable incels.

"sometimes it's wildly wrong and they don't question where it comes from"

A stark difference from google results surely

Ok, but they should logically be afraid of causing it. The only reason not to be afraid of the end of the world is if you're going to the good afterlife.

I never got the chance to play Bloodborne because of Sony but I've heard its the best one. I did play through their other games after Elden Ring came out, and i wouldn't say the problem is always the player. Fromsoft does an absolutely abismal job telling new players where to go and how to play. Elden Ring especially just expects that you already have experience with the series and that you're going to have the wiki open on your second monitor to follow a basic questline. Personally i just dont understand that philosophy.

Videogames that intentionally break their difficulty curve with the intention of seeming elite and prestigious. I've suspected for a long time that games like Darksouls and Kingdom Come deliberately try to manipulate their players into getting caught in sunk cost falacies, trying to get people to blame themselves for any failure of game balancing.

Over time they've fostered communties which are so toxic that they will lash out at anyone trying to criticize the game. This then frees the developer from all fault and casts any grievance as the players lack of understanding, skill, or hardware. Eventually, any mistake the devs make becomes seen as an artistic choice and will be defended tooth and nail by the players.
