I suspect, though I have no data to support this right now, that focus testing of games revealed that players were skipping tutorials and getting frustrated about things that the tutorial explained, so the solution was to make the tutorial mandatory.
There's no point in "giving someone a chance" if you already know for sure you're not attracted to them, that's usually called "leading someone on" and is generally regarded as crappy behavior.
Bullshit. The great majority of normal human being are not obsessed with judging people and labeling them as "good enough" or not. It's entirely possible to just not feel romantic attraction to someone even if they're rich and fit and interesting or whatever other traits you think make you entitled to affection.
In the USA? This is threatening, sociopath behavior.
From what I hear though, pretty normal in a lot of the rest of the world.
I've been playing a lot of old (20+ years) games lately and I definitely have a greater appreciation now for the way they did things back then. I like the Deus Ex and Tomb Raider (and many others) approach of having a separate tutorial level. The game assumes that, when you start the game proper, you have a basic idea of what's going on and the first foundational story beats of the game can occur alongside interesting and lightly challenging gameplay. Having a separate tutorial is also nice for re-acquainting yourself with the game after an absence, rather than the usual style these days where the best you get is an in-game manual telling you what the controls are but not giving you another opportunity to practice them. Lara's Home for the PS1 Tomb Raider is great, it's just a big space to run around in and practice whatever you want to practice.
I think it's time to move on. Enjoy your friendship for what it is if you can. If you can't, get some distance until you're over it. Based on what you're saying, I feel confident saying that she isn't interested and if you keep pushing you'll probably at best just poison your friendship and at worst make her want to avoid the whole friend group.
Rejection sucks, but it happens to absolutely everyone. There's probably nothing horribly wrong with you, so don't get stuck in a rut and try to just keep moving forward with your life.
As we all know, I am the best at warfare, so if those sneaky non-anglos have discovered a tactic to defeat me it must be some sort of strange unconventional form of warfare and that's the only reason it works because otherwise I would totally win.
I harbor a secret, desperate hope that the USA's nuclear arsenal is becoming equally decrepit and outdated and that, on the day when the collapse of their empire finally becomes critical and the remaining members of the death cult who are unable to imagine the end of capitalism and who see the end of the world as the only option decide in a final act of greedy desperation to launch against China, it will turn out that China has been tirelessly advancing in that field too and is able to intercept and destroy enough of the warheads to spare the rest of the world from a nuclear apocalypse.
Surprising if you haven't been paying attention I guess.
We know that if Putin is successful here, he will not stop. He will continue to take more aggressive actions in the region.
More of the same bullshit doomsaying about the asiatic horde trying to drum up support for the proxy war. Ukraine is screwed and when they're forced to accept defeat NATO isn't gonna do shit. Well except continue training Nazi terrorists to attack Russia and all the other usual stuff of course.
