Love it keep it up! My only feedback is the 3rd story is a bit long, if you make people skip your stories it lowers your engagement rate instead of making them snappy and leaving people wanting more. I was always envirous of people that can dance well, as an INTP it's my kryptonite.

Just learned a lot from watching this video on Star Citizen and the currently unfolding fiasco that this game has devolved into So the game has been in development for 15 years and is the dream game of Chris Roberts. He fell pray to scope creep and now is $1 billion dollar deep and the game looks like it's gonna collapse around this holiday season if it fails to deliver the single player campaign that it's promised for years. It's directly linked to that first video I linked in March on modular game design and how being able to ship complete products is important. Star Citizen is stuck with a massive vision of an instance less galactic world that is basically impossible to do with today's tech and now even their single player mode is full of bugs and unplayable. I do feel bad for the man but apparently he's quite toxic to work under so he has plenty of development work to keep him busy after this collapses. I asked Gemini to modelize the project and to analyze the learning lessons but I also used it to predict if the project will collapse and when it will do so. Since it only has 2 months of runway and a monthly operating cost of $100M+ I personally think they will not succeed in shipping Squadron 42(their single player campaign) and the holes in the bucket will completely cause the project to implode like Ashes of Creation. Gemini gave this outcome a 55% chance. The best case scenario is they go bankrupt and sell their assets to another studio to takeover the project and ship a more limited version of the game so that it's still playable and people that have funded the campaign through cosmetics still get their in game items. Gemini gave this outcome 30% 15% chance that single player campaign hits its promised date of Q4 2026 and everyone is happy and they get more runway to build out the full multiplayer vision. I hope this happens for them but if you watch the video and you witness the toxic work environment that they showcased as well as the lack of accountability from the team; doesn't seem likely to happen. It's interesting what we can learn from other people working on big projects, I hope that my game will end up even bigger than theirs in the end so I'm always glad that video recaps of what went right or wrong in these projects are available for us to learn from. Props to Kira the Youtuber for making this one.

Yeah literally the same thing. I don't know why she didn't learn from it and immediately pivot. They got exposed by a whistleblower on the team in December 2025 someone reported this as a flaw and they told them to keep on keeping on and not to worry about it then in January 2026 they started a series A which is where the securities fraud comes from and opens them up to getting sued by their own investors. The human ego never ceases to amaze me. Also shows poorly on Bill Gates as a father since he didn't teach his daughter value creation and she defaulted to value extraction and fraud as a business model.

Are you familiar with the differences between a complicated and complex system? A system is complicated if it has many moving parts, but its mechanics are entirely deterministic and predictable. An engine, a watch, or a piece of software code are complicated: if you disassemble the parts, analyze their functions, and reassemble them correctly, you can predict the exact outcome every single time. It operates like a machine—linear, cause-and-effect, and fully knowable through reductionism. A system is complex, by contrast, if it is made up of adaptive, interconnected agents whose interactions create emergent behavior that cannot be predicted simply by analyzing the individual components. Ecosystems, human societies, quantum mechanics, and conscious minds are complex. You cannot "solve" a complex system; you can only observe its patterns, as small inputs can lead to non-linear, unpredictable outcomes. I think to us humans life and reality are a complex system that can never be fully understood due to it's emergent properties. For God I don't see how it wouldn't just be a complicated system that he can figure out instantly, I think he can also make himself forget to enjoy the game that's what humans are but overall there aren't enough parameters to confuse a God. Even a human can predict the future to a somewhat accurate degree and works like The Bible have proven that many prophecies can be achieved accurately so I think universal consciousness was already solved a long time ago we are just leafs in the wind witnessing human history like automatons watching a movie or really universal consciousness witnessing itself.

@Someone here Got it, I'm glad we agree that it's best taken as interesting niche beliefs to study and Islam is not an accurate ideology in terms of proper living or a serious deconstruction of reality.

I think you should be careful pointing stuff as laughable if what you enjoy most from it's alternative is the musical aspect of it. We're talking about deep philosophy and politics here and the impact on mankind. Do you live in an islamic society or are you art of the muslim diaspora? I think anyone who has grown up muslim or that knows muslim people will have many stories of neglect and abuse tied to that style of upbringing. Islam is not unique in that aspect plenty of cultures also abuse their people but it's pretty consistent in that practice and rarely do I meet someone that came from that religion that hasn't experienced it.

This guy explains the concept well here He's one of the dating coaches that focuses mostly on social life and creating a high value social circle instead of relying mostly on cold approach or dating apps. https://www.instagram.com/newcitymastery/?hl=en

Why would the Bahai Holy Book be laughable? What makes the Quran a work of art and not mostly gibberish nonsense? They do a great job of PR and poetry you see how @Thought Art fell for that side of it and then they use that to make you accept the authoritarian societal control it pushes and the rigid cult like hierarchy it operates under. They are so deeply devoid of actual introspection beyond surface level virtue signalling that I've had muslim friends talk about how Andrew Tate is obviously a deep man of God since he converted to Islam lol @Joseph Maynor It matters a lot because those religions affect the world and their followers to varying degrees some in good ways and for others it oppresses them and controls them. Us having a personal relationship to God doesn't stop you from understanding how human politics operate on earth. It should elevate our perspectives and make us more thorough in our epistemology if anything.

Yes, cold reading is a good way to practice getting out of interview mode when talking to women and people as a whole. Engages emotions and "why does he think that about me?" instead of just the boring logical thought process.

If we are to rank religions on consciousness I think the Bahai Faith is much superior to Islam or the other Abrahamic religions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baháʼí_Faith They believe that divine truth was given to humanity in different stages through different prophets that came and founded the other religions. They taught unity of religion instead of group think. They have their own prophets The Bab and Baha Ullah that originated in the 19th century. They have churches all over, saw one in Toronto and looking up their history and practices they seem pretty cool.

Leo will use advanced epistemology to get them to open the Kaaba. Inside lies a Saudi prince, passed out drunk with a naked instagram model next to him. Turns out it's transparent inside and Saudi princes use it to masturbate in publicly with impunity while charging stupid tourists to come to their holy city for pilgrimage.

I'm Canadian and I love America. The first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning is the new game I'm working on which is built using Google's technology. Perhaps you need to take a walk in the park, take in the sun and touch some grass?

Keep it up! You seem to be gaining momentum, that's when the real fun happens and you start to get consistent results instead of just talking with strangers on the street.

Most guys are terrible at presenting themselves well. They don't have good pictures of themselves, they use pictures they took when drunk with friends or while on a family trip a few years ago or literal selfies in their apartment. Take the same guy with a t shirt and bad lighting and a selfie on his own balcony and put him in a well fitting dress shirt, do his hair nicely and put him in a trendy downtown rooftop having a meal and a drink with great lighting and his online SMV goes up 3-4 points. Have you downloaded Feeld yet? Feel free to post here or DM me your pictures and I can help you make a good profile. I was a dating photographer for a few years.

He's pretty good I have a buddy that worked for him for a while. He has a well known book on seduction that I've been meaning to read, the alabaster girl More of a lover boy romantic type of guy in terms of game philosophy

@zazen I think you're being a bit biased and using the good sides to takeaway from the damage and harm it's caused.

You gotta reverse engineer your goals but the simplest way to get started is by hosting your first container event. There are different types but a group dinner is the easiest format. Do it 2-3 weeks from now and invite all your friends and all the girls that you know or cold approach until then. Goal is to have ideally 8-12 people and for it to feel like an event not 4 people having dinner. The real idea is to play 10-20 events down the line what you want to accomplish. A monthly group dinner cool if you can get that going you'll have perhaps turned acquaintances into more of a friend circle type of dynamic. I do creative events so part of my container events is photoshoots, podcasts and open mics so that after 10-20 events I've built up a library of content and a full on branded community. That's how I created the creatives pages and group chats(each have 250 people) in Calgary and Toronto. https://www.instagram.com/calgary_creatives/ https://www.instagram.com/creatives_toronto/ You can do it in other niches like do a run club or a volleyball team for sports or more of a corporate type if that's more your interest. The idea is that you are creating an entity outside of you(the social circle) that also acts as a net for people in your life so you're not just a cold approach and dates kind of guy but you have a community and group that's part of your life. Depending on your life purpose and current resources you can take it different ways. Like you see I like to brand mine and scale it as I feel like it has infinite potential this way and I can create a global community out of it when I expand to the US and Europe soon. I hosted my first fashion show last year based on this idea, it was one of the most fun projects I've tried in my life so far. You can also make it more of a local hangout type of thing where you just have men and women that fit your personality and that you hangout with as a new friend circle that you created from thin air. A lot of things that we enjoy this life fit this model. Actualized.org is an online community that was distributed through a Youtube Channel. RSD was a business ecosystem that was marketed originally through local inner city group chats and free events. Dan Bilzerian hired a videographer to film his events and turn him from a dude wasting money spending cash throwing events to a global celebrity. The idea is to use leverage in your dating and social life and combine it with your business and career goals. Notice most dating coaches don't have a day job they film themselves talking to girls or talking to a camera teaching guys how to do it then they travel the world and date girls full time. Some of them do it through a social circle format but the core thing to remember and flesh out for your own personal life is leveraging your time. Getting more than 1 unit of value for 1 unit of time that you invest in your dating/social life. If you cold approach for 10 hours idk maybe you get a laid a few times if you're good but probably you just walk around the street and get a few instagrams. If you host events and shoot content then you meet the same if not more girls and build your social circle and build your media at the same time. This is how I created the The Dining Club page, I was hired to build this guy's personal brand while he was gonna renovate a marina in a small town and it turns out his main interest was really meeting hot girls so we started throwing group dinners and I filmed them and built a page around it to get social proof to get more and more girls and I ended up selling him the page and I pivoted to the creative events because they're free to host instead of spending money on the dinners. https://www.instagram.com/thedining.club This model will let you hangout with girls in a way that is win-win for the both of you without having to make it all about dating and sex. I like it because I tried making female friends the "normal way" and just inviting co-workers to lunch and I felt like I was stuck talking to them about random gossip in both our lives and wasting money on eating out all the time but since I've started doing it this way I feel like I'm making way deeper bonds that actually relate to the goals that me and these women have instead of just randomly having worked at a store together one time and now trying to keep a friendship going based off of that.

No worries. It's not my answer to everything but it's a common pitfall that people that have learned game run into. Since you learn to meet people on your own terms you're able to date outside of the organic social circles that people usually find partners in like school, work or family relations when it comes to arranged marriages. That's a phenomenal skill but the skillset that sits on top of that is creating your own social circles that you use either for dating or for business or community building purposes. A problem is usually solved in a paradigm above the one the one it was created in so it's a common solutions to a lot of game issues.

Just had a massive creative insight for the game and overall theme of the story. I'm actually gonna move it from the 15th to the 17th century and focus on a triangle between the industrialization of warfare away from medieval type weapons to gunpowder technology and also add magic into it for a high/dark fantasy feel. Then I'll be able to create all types of unique matchups both in the anime plot and for game combat mechanics that haven't really been explored before like what happens when a fire mage encounters a medieval knight? Or what happens when a samurai with wind magic faces on a garrison of Shogun troops with muskets?

Do you find this issue happening only with women or with your platonic friends as well? Sometimes introverts can have trouble consistently bonding with people because their interest lies more with intangible ideas over real life, is that your case or does that not sound like you? There are a few ways that we can flesh this out and get to the root cause, at the end of the day surely it comes down to a simple calibration issue.

@Thought Art @Majed Have you guys watched the video on Islam? I think he's too nice and poetic about it if anything and he doesn't go in depth into the origins of Islam and how it was birthed out of the bloodshed of thousands and immediately lead to many civil wars in the middle east called the Fitnas and the caliphates that grew out of it like the Umayyad Caliphate were not any more peaceful than the ones that came before the time of Muhammad.

You seem to not be comfortable with sexuality as I've already mentioned about you on in a previous post. What process have you gone through in your life to get to the root of your own shame and discomfort around it and do you have litmus tests to know if you're creating a positive experience for the women you're interacting with and or if you're reinforcing their bad behaviours? The way you talk about sexuality like it's a dangerous opioid is not healthy in my eyes but I could be wrong.

Yes it's also more fun! You create a friend group and community around your interest and you become the center of it so you have more socialization but growth in your corner. I think anyone can do decent on dating apps, you just gotta take photography seriously, dress well, know your angles and find the aesthetic locations in your city to portray the image you want. Have you ever worked with a professional photographer before?

I actually couldn't agree more. The men I know that aren't involved in business endeavours are pretty limited in their skillset and don't have a pretty core skills to life I find. I see it especially when I have some clients that come from a smaller city and certain simple things seem to overwhelm them like traffic and getting a dinner reservation at a nice restaurant. Let alone getting into more complicated social circle concepts like booking a venue, planning an event, hosting people and making sure they have a good time, planning other events, etc. A lot of life can be broken down areas of skill and the more high impact skills you have the more valuable you'll become as a man.
