VR porn exists, but I've never sought it out and never will, because just the thought of jacking off in a sweaty isolation helmet makes me ill.

Tiggum posted:Just a thought, but maybe the people who consistently got motion sickness from VR stopped playing and aren't in VR groups? I don't know what percentage of people are affected by it, but you're not going to get that information by asking only people who don't have that problem. No I’m saying that a lot of people that did in fact get motion sickness stuck with it and many of them are the people who are still very into VR. Myself included. I would say that when I started I was actually more prone to motion sickness than the average person and now I play games like doom 2016 and wipeout at max speed and full locomotion with all of the comfort settings turned off, and it doesn’t give me any problems. I already conceded that the fact that VR can make people sick is bad for the platform and can ruin first impressions, but my point was that for most people who actually want to stick with it, it is a temporary annoyance. And it’s also something developers are generally hyper aware of and have found a lot of effective solutions to over the last couple of years. So while it’s a valid complaint, people that act like it’s some sort of death knell for VR just come off as someone who probably tried VR for 15 minutes a couple of years ago, got nauseous and decided that was the hill they were going to die on while VR continues to improve and become more accessible and popular, albeit slowly. The point is that VR will stop being such a niche thing when it’s good enough and cheap enough for just about everyone. And it’s not there yet but it’s close. And the potential is still huge even outside of the realm of video games. I don’t think it’s purpose will ever be to replace 2D games, at least not for the foreseeable future. But acting like it’s just going to completely fail and go away is ridiculous and doesn’t line up with the increasing sales and amount of money hardware manufacturers and developers are still willing to put into it.

Our aggregate porn obsession is a result of the physical act of sex being paywalled under latestage capitalism. Nevermind the implicit to explicit coercion whenever money becomes involved in anything. Maybe it's less bad in other countries that weren't started by elderly, diseased psychopaths.

Tubgoat posted:Again, I am not talking about porn being paywalled, I am talking about sex. Porn is a cheap or free replacement for sex for much of the population. Again, physical sexual activity is defacto paywalled, not porn. At least in the US there is a nigh-unlimited supply of free porn available. I am talking about human-to-human sexual activity. "i'm mad that i have to pay prostitutes" is the vibe i'm getting from this. get married. say "wanna gently caress", if the reply is "yes", then gently caress. simple, traditional, it just works.

You won't have a chance if that happens.

Can you clarify what you specifically mean by 'physical sexual activity is defacto paywalled [in a manner which is meaningfully unique to the last few decades]' The interpretation I'm getting, assuming a male perspective, is that you believe that, now more than ever, you must be wealthy to be sexually active; the inference I'm trying to avoid putting in your mouth is that you believe women, now more than ever, are gold diggers

'Cause social activities and their venues are loving expensive, nevermind the increasingly-rare occasion of meeting someone when everyone needs to spend all their time working, etc? Oh, but that's politics, just like every loving thing else on this planet that involves human civilisation in some way.

I dunno man, I feel like this is a bit of an excuse [speculating] to protect yourself from rejection, or the trauma of online dating Like, I'll grant you that poo poo's expensive these days, and taking your girl out to a romantic meal every week is less achievable for that reason; but we're all in this boat together, and we all want to bang. e: Tubgoat posted:Alright, so where do I meet women in their mid 20s to early 30s who don't value money? Ignoring the problematic nature of your premise; online dating's a start, bad as it is for everyone. You have to temper your expectations, and grow a thick skin, but it's cheap, and you can do it while you're taking a poo poo TheMaskedUgly has a new favorite as of 10:40 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Oh no, if rejection was an Olympic event, I'd be barred from competing due to already being a professional, my issue is actually meeting single persons of my preference in common social spaces of mutual interest. All the different expenses (clothes ('cause they can't have no pocket-covered motherfucker be seen at their venue), drinks (a cocktail costs twice as much as a litre of my not-killing-myself hooch, and that's before the tip), tip ('else you're not getting a second drink before you sober up completely), cover, etc) aside, gently caress clubs. Where the gently caress do I meet single ladies who love dumpster diving? "Not online" is as specific as I've found.

I think it's pretty non controversial to say that modern life is loving up people's ability to function in society in increasingly noticeable ways, and you can't divorce that from the socio economic system that defines the conditions of said people.

Imho you should probably concern yourself with seeing a mental health professional and then maybe worry about the single ladies when you are good and ready, which is clearly not right now.

Your issue is you're insecure, and constructing road-blocks for yourself so you don't have to deal with that All your cost issues (clothes, drinks) seem to relate to trying to meet the 'one night stand club hook-up' type of relationship; which is clearly not what you actually want, and you're probably getting a little old for anyway esp if you've got no friends who club already (assuming you're similar age to what you're looking for), and you're probably not attractive enough for this to be reliable anyway (sorry not sorry). Do you have any outside hobbies that involve other people generally? Are you generally sufficiently desirable to be desired by people who are 'of your preference'? I.e., do you meet your minimum-standard's minimum standard? If you're just looking to break the dry-spell, spend a few months dealing with the tinder thing, and just go coffee-shop or pub drinking. It's not the chepaest thing in the world, but you'll be getting maybe 1 match a week if you're super lucky, so it's something you can budget for. If you're already used to rejection, you've got a leg up in the online dating scene. Put in your bio some funny thing about wanting cheap dates or something, I dunno, use your wit and suave; swipe left on anyone who wants to be treated like a queen or whatever TheMaskedUgly has a new favorite as of 11:08 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Shibawanko posted:I will never understand the concept of "mac and cheese" and I've never tried it, it's the one dish I mostly strongly associate with British and American cooking and it's the one that I want to try the least. How can you eat pasta without at least adding some vegetables or olives or pine nuts or, if you're going to add cheese, at least add a real cheese? I made mac & cheese this weekend, I also smoked a pork butt and had a bean, bacon & jalapeno dish underneath to catch the drippings. It all went well together, the beans are even better than the pulled pork IMO. I used real cheese though when I made the sauce which is just normal bechamel sauce + cheese added. I also added turmeric to approximate that american color scheme though it's more yellow than orange. Then oven bake. That's how I make mac & cheese anyway. Now if you just dump some browned ground beef (+onions, garlic, salt & pepper) into the mac & cheese mix beforehand then the mac & cheese turns into a complete dish on it's own.
