Yea, the leveling in WoW is kind of boring, never amazed me. Very themepark. The only thing that caught me was endgame pvp. Which was something else. Imagine counter-strike but with spells, abilities, symbiotic teamwork, team strategies, strategic positioning etc. you needed months in order to master one class in arena.

@Natasha Tori Maru i only played PvP. I mean I don't care about how shit Blizzard management is or was, idk how they pulled it out but wotlk pvp was just artwork. The classes had such different abilities, strengths and weaknesses but still it was balanced. Not just that but you needed serious skill and Intelligence to be good at it. It was not like PvE, in PvP you are against other humans who can outsmart you all the time. Now of course I am not a game developer, I just picked the game that was in front of me like a pig eating what he finds in the trough. A game developer sees things that normies don't.

See? Here is your poof. But I still recommend getting a life than playing such games in your adulthood. In teenage it is understandable. For me, it helped me go over the hardest period of my life. I suffered from very severe social anxiety due to trauma from bullying. I am happy that I chose WoW over heroin or gambling, or suicide. I basically never met a person who did so much positive change in their life. A person like me should be dead by now or severely crippled mentally. But here I am, stable and strong, thanks to some crutches that helped for some time. 🙂

I see it as a sport. It is mindless shit that occupies your time and fulfills your basic needs. Socialization, appreciation for your skills, competition and winning, feeling of progress. I think such games help many not fall in deep depression, the same way as porn helps incels not run their cars over people maybe.

Of course it was like porn but you still watch porn. It was addictive as fk.

World of Warcraft WOTLK patch is one of the best games ever developed. The asymetric power balance between classes, the virtual world ecosystem... Even today there are WOTLK private servers full to the top with nostalgic players. And then, slowly, patch by patch the game went to shit.

This the big difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. TIER 1 sees some things as objectively bad while Tier 2 sees through this silly mental illusion.

You just described Sweden. I have a feeling that these countries are ready for a change. Mature women just have enough, they feel that something is very wrong. They have enough of utilitarian relationships and mother-boy interactions. People start to have enough of the extreme left nonsense, they start to see their flaws.

@Natasha Tori Maru yes. And when I tell this to the left mob, they call me a cockservative. I see it like this: build the sword (masculinity), then refine it (feminine side development). I was on a romanian leftist discord server, most of them don't even understand what we mean by feminine and masculine. I just cannot relate to them, this topic is so fundamental to our survival that it is completely unacceptable to no study and understand. If your relationships are shit, your life is shit.

He did not say pedophiles or whomever are "bad". Bad relative to having a healthy society maybe. From God's perspective they just ARE, they are not in a specific way. He even says everyone and everything is Good, everything is Love.

yaha... We forgot long ago how to build those men you want to see. We either have macho jerks with autistic behavior or uninspiring weak boys. This is why my favorite candidate in swedish politics is a woman. It seems like it is harder to build good men than good women. There has to be a serious step by step system that builds them up. No doubt why all those "savages" from the tribes had a rite of passage system for men.

I took 100ug once and had the same feeling. Just constant anxiety and fear. SInce then I did not dare to take a full dose, just 50 ug at a time. I think I will try mushrooms instead. I had serious problems with social anxiety in my youth, maybe this can have something to do with it.

What do you mean?

Some pro-Palestine, some anti-racism, some feminism. They already got massive backlash even from the most progressive political groups. Even the so called progressive political party called USR is a neo-liberal pro-market party. Most of the protesters were some kids who copied what they saw in American media and politics. Reasonable center-left people are virtually non-existent in Romania. I would guess 70% Stage Blue nationalists, 25% Stage Orange modern neo-liberals, and very few Green, woke-leaning youngsters. They even chanted in english, just to see the mindless conformism of Green. This will be just fuel for right propaganda.

because people do not care about Truth, they care about "how this "truth" can help me survive?"

It is more than that. it is creating an identity that fits your perosnality. Most people who are attracted to masculinity choose the woman identity because it fits their personality better. It is like having to choose between a warrior character and a priest character when you start playing WoW. There is no such thing as a woman or a man. We create these identities, social constructions, because it helps us survive better. The same way we invented money and we gave them value. These post-modern people who say these identitites do not matter and we are just writing in the sand do not understand the issue. They were given ideas that they cannot handle yet. It is like giving a shotgun to a child. Very bad idea. I saddens me alot because they paint a very bad picture of the left. This is why I don't really want to say I am a leftist, because I don't want to associate myself with such weirdos.

She was very paradigm locked into "men and women are not so different". She came with very long posts that had a lot of content but little substance.

yes you are right. We see a big difference in political views between men and women. Dating today can be a purity test. Do you have the "right opinions". If not, sorry bud. Just so I become clear. When I mention dating I mean relationship building no just hooking up. I don't get this hookup culture, I don't get too much value from sleeping with a woman 2 times then ghosting each other.

It is harder to date right now. I don't think all our grandfathers had to learn pick-up and shit, they just were part of a system that gave them opportunities to date and prepared them to date. Churches, third places, extended social circles, friends of friends who had a some cool single girlfriends etc. i don't know how it was in USA or Australia but in Romania it was easy to date 25 years ago. You did not need all these nonsense techniques and shit. Men challenged each other to be funny, masculine, interesting... They had their brotherhoods On the counter, it is possible to date today, maybe easy to date for a developed serious guy, but the bar is higher, women don't depend on men longer. If you don't come and offer some serious value you are dismissed. The standards go higher, and the candidates are worse.

@Natasha Tori Maru I get them, maybe because I am a man idk. The feeling of getting rejected my dozens of women in a row or knowing you are a virgin at an age you shouldn't feels like nothing else. It feels you are the last piece of shit in the world. You can sell anything to such people if you just empathize with them enough and call out the "external evil". Just saying they are some stupid pricks and moving on is a naive, low consciousness approach (I say it rethorically, I know you didn't). "Stupid" people usually have a sad story to tell.

@Oppositionless i should call shamans to wipe my ass too.

Yea me too. But the mature ones used to be 35 plus.

Green can be especially conformist and echochambery. I invte you to meet Scandinavian people. At least those redpill movements I can understand because it is composed mostly of frustrated sexless kids, but I have higher expectations of highly educated mature people. I hanged in many Green groups and I don't feel great there. It feels like I am walking on eggshells, you have to have the "right" opinions in order be welcomed. It depends what personality type you have. If you are very feminine and agreeable then they fit you well. But I cannot just stay an talk feelings and shit all day, not having a personality, not influencing the situation in any meaningul way, just being an emotional automaton.

Both redpill/blackpill/incel ideolgy and post-modern nonsense prevent healthy relationships. And one triggers the other. The more post-modern nonsense you'll see in society the more women hate and redpill. Both these camps prevent men from developing into serious healthy adults. Women also, but especially men. People are not so stupid, they see every day through personal experience and andecdotal evidence that men and women are different. You come and tell thme it is not true and you'll get solid backlash. In any big movement there is some truth, big movements tell some truth, otherwise they would not become so big. Even though that "truth" can sometimes be very toxic. Germans chose Hitler because it told them the "truth" of how opressed germans were at that time. I hope this idea does not get misunderstood.

I think this community is as healthy as a self-help community can be, but it still is limited by it's times. You just cannot create a healthy self-help community today. Maybe only with super-aggressive screening and paywalls, but even then you cannot be sure. You cannot create ANY healthy community focused on big stuff like spirituality/truth today, communities are about survival, ideology, power games, ego... not Truth. This is why serious philosophers do their work alone in silence, far away from the apes. For me anything that involves more than 2 people (myself included) that has a higher purpose than basic tasks like collagues doing ape work at work or some buddies playing sports, any purpose that craves openmindedness, emotional maturity, ambition form others (creating deep friendships, philosophy, self-improvement) has a high chance to piss me off, make me lose patience. Because I have a very disagreeable personality and you simply cannot gather too many serious, conscious people together because they are so rare nowadays. This retarded society we have nowadays creates braindead people not truth seekers.
