  • This is gonna sound like a #humblebrag but same. I’ve had drunken gay dudes thank me for existing because they found me that attractive. I know a decent amount of women find me attractive but it’s nowhere near the same degree.

    My wife is highly amused by it, but it’s like damn, I’d be absolutely killing it if I was at all into dudes.



  • Hmmm. I’d say if you want to try some very different gameplay, one of the “special” tribes. Cymanti or Polaris can be quite fun. Aquarion used to be fairly weak but they’re a lot better following the update, elyrion was actually pretty weakened by the update but devs know this and are working on ways to make them a bit stronger.

    If you just want good music, I like Yaddak and ai mo. Quetzali are fun as well. Lux is versatile but they’re more expensive than any other tribe just as a joke about their in game culture lol so buy them late imo. Wouldn’t recommend vengir till later also, swords are cool but can be hard to play since their econ takes time to develop.


  • Polytopia if you like strategy. You can buy tribes if you want to, but the basic 4 they give you have the “strongest” in the game, there’s no p2w. I’ve ended up buying all the tribes and am well on my way to all the skins (they only have one extra skin for some of the tribes at the moment) but that’s because I play it a ton and have for years, so it’s just to support the dev.

    Dev is active and makes improvements regularly, just released a long anticipated update that had some significant game play changes so it feels fresh, and the changes seem to make it more interesting / balanced so far.

    There’s also a very dedicated fan community on discord that sets up frequent tournaments or team games if you find you like it.








  • I have a hard time believing this mostly because of your attitude towards it. Is it stupid and that’s why you don’t like it? Or you don’t like it, and therefore it must be stupid? Seems like the latter. I’d also disagree that it’s not a useful skill, like any soft or social skill it has its place and it can be surprisingly useful in certain circumstances. For instance, is it useful to be able to impress your preferred gender of person? Or to make them laugh? Dancing can definitely help with that.

    When I was younger I thought golf was a useless “dumb” sport, I’m now kicking myself for not picking it up a decade ago because it’s extremely useful for networking and building/maintaining relationships.




  • I mean, I do think it goes along with indulging in something, bit of booze and weed, or stronger on occasion depending on the kind of party. I can do some dancing sober but it loses it’s appeal much faster.

    I do know people that love dancing sober as a bird, I just don’t think that’s gonna be everybody, or even most people. It’s like any social event, a lot of people are gonna want at least one or two drinks to let the walls come down a bit.

    Lot of people though that flat out won’t put themselves out there and I think that stinks for them, you never know what can come from getting outside of your comfort zone. For me, I never would’ve gotten together with my wife if I wasn’t willing to dance, and a few years before we met I was on the “I hate dancing” train for a while, so I know where some of that comes from.


  • I felt like an idiot for a long time when I didn’t know what I was doing. Still do, sometimes, esp if I’m fully sober (social anxiety yay). And in the beginning it wasn’t enjoyable, either, I wasn’t doing it initially to have fun, but was tired of standing on the wall or at the bar every time I went to a place or event with expected dancing (and there are LOTS of these, particularly in your 20s). It was surprising when I found myself enjoying it, now it’s surprising when I don’t.
