"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Anyone here got a Playstation 5?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Current gen consoles literally make like 1-2 good games a year at most. I haven't owned a console since an Xbox 360. Get a gaming PC and don't look back.

I do. I might have posted micro-reviews about games here. Most recently:


Would you say it got better games than the Ps4? What do you guys think? Thanks
That's a though questión. Most games are still releasing with a ps4 versión.

If you already own a ps4, you might be better off waiting a few years until the announcement of the Ps6. If the Ps6 Is confirmed to be backwards compatible, you could easily skip the ps5 and save a few hundred dólars.

If you dont own a ps4 already, then the ps5 purchase Is not half Bad. There's aré a few great games only available on ps5 (and maybe PC)

The ps5 Pro got recently announced but I dont recommend getting one. You would paying hundreds of dollars more for minimal upgrades you probably wouldnt notice unless Its a side by side comparison.

Apparently they're also removing the disc drive. Terrible decision.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Well I just don’t use it also for video games but also to connect Netflix, Hulu and Disney to my TV.
Just get a smart TV then or use your PC to use bootleg streaming services

I think Playstation and Xbox are slowly but surely pushing towards an "Only Digital" future (and my guess is Nintendo will eventually go that route as well, but less aggresive about it). This is one of the many new trends that is not very popular by consumers.

Not only do they want you to forget about physical copies and go all digital, some companies like Ubisoft even go a step further and dont event want you to own the digital version. "You should be comfortable not owning the game. Just pay my monthly subscription for the rest of your life and pray I never de-list the game form the online store".

But we know to them its all about money. They dislike physical copies of games because you can re-sell them and they dont make any money from that re-sell.

Another trend is the Games As A Service (GAAS) or "Live Service Games". Fortnite and Call Of Duty Warzone are some successfull examples and as a result every other company is trying to get a piece of that pay. But the good thing is consumers are voting with their wallets. Warner Bros / Rocksteady created a beatiful Arkham Trilogy before trying to go GAAS with "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League". They spent like 8 years doing that game and most people hated it (I didnt completely hate the main campaign but the post game is terrible). But wait, what was Warner´s most recent success in video games? Ah yes, Hogwarts Legacy. Consumers will take a good single player game over a mediocre live service game every time.

Most recent example would be Sony´s Concord. They spent 8 years and hundreds of millions of dollars on a LGBT Woke Live Service Game that nobody wanted, apparently not even the LGBT Woke community. Its like they said, "Lets combine Overwatch with Guardians of the Galaxy and make it Inclusive for a modern audience....yes, yes...This is the future of Playstation". Nobody played or bought the game and it got delisted after a couple of weeks. This is possibly the biggest flop in the history of Video Games.

Another trend is too many unnecessary remakes or remasters of new games. Remaking or remastering PlaySations 2 games, Gamecube Games, Wii games, The Oringal Xbox, or games before that time? Totally on board. But what we are seeing a lot is you have a Playstations 4 game that already looks better and runs better on ps5, and it gets remastered anyways.

The worst offender is Naughty Dog with their The Last of Us franchise. They released the first game on ps3 and later remastered it for ps4. At the time it was acceptable because ps4 is not backwards compatible with ps3. But later they made a remake for ps5 wtf? The second game released on ps4, already runs and looks better on ps5, ah but its getting a remaster for ps5. Most recent example is Horizon Zero Dawn. Game released on ps4, runs and looks better on ps5 but again, its getting a remaster for ps5.

There are many more trends we could discuss, but these ones seem to be the most annoying ones atm. Hopefully, consumers keep voting with their wallets and the future of the indsutry gets better.

Good god, Sony nowadays just want to shoot themselves in the foot. But really though, why an LGBT game?

Toxic Positivity. During the development of the game, they were not allowed to say anything bad about Woke stuff up to and including LGBT stuff.

Similar thing on other forums outside SoSuave. I was quickly banned from a Legend of Zelda community website for speaking my mind about "trans" people in their "Anything Else" section. Seems most forums outside SoSuave have at least one "trans" member, so if you post anything remotely negative you end up being banned for being "trans-phobic".

I miss the days where video games were usually the safe haven from left wing propaganda. I forget what year they've basically kickstarted that off though.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

You sure it wasn't before then? I would like to think sometime around when the PS4 first officially released here in the US.
Maybe one of Sony's walking simulators? If The Last of Us II is the pinnacle of left wing propaganda the maybe it started with The Last of Us I?

I did enjoy the gameplay of The Last of Us. The propaganda probably went over my head at the time.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

@Redwood

What consoles do you have? What kind of games are you into?
Right now I only have the PS4 original/slim. The others (PS2/Xbox 360 Elite) got lost in a flood. As far as games, I haven't thought about them specifically but I have been playing MGSV, Tekken & Sleeping Dogs alot lately.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
