Everyone starts by remixing what they learned from books, teachers, and videos. That's how you build up material at the beginning when your own experience is still limited. Leo did exactly that early on too. Just don't straight-up copy word for word and you'll be good. Over time you'll mix it with your own takes and it becomes yours naturally.

Honestly this game is actually pretty solid for breaking the usual “interview vibe” on a first date. The questions are simple on the surface, but once you start explaining why you picked a color/animal/water thing, it naturally gets a bit deeper without feeling forced. Way better than jumping straight into heavy life story stuff or awkward “so what are your intentions” type questions. I’ve seen similar stuff work best when both people don’t overthink it and just run with whatever comes up. If someone’s open to it, it kind of builds a nice playful flow, and you can always pivot into normal convo after. Only thing is - it works best when the vibe is already chill. If the chemistry is off, it can feel a bit like you’re trying to manufacture depth, but when it clicks it’s actually a really easy way to connect.

Honestly Europe is kinda stacked when it comes to game locations / dev hubs. UK still feels like one of the strongest overall (London + a bunch of studios around it), then you’ve got Sweden, Finland, France, Poland and Germany all having their own strong scenes. Poland especially has been growing fast lately, Warsaw is getting a lot of attention as a serious hub now.

Interesting post - especially the part about variance and mental stress in poker. A lot of people underestimate how tough it is emotionally when you’re making good decisions but still losing over and over.

The mistake a lot of guys make is treating IOIs like some kind of checklist or “permission system.” Like they’re waiting for 3 clear signals before they do anything. Real interactions don’t work that clean. In night game especially, everything is more chaotic - loud venue, alcohol, groups - so IOIs are often subtle or inconsistent. A girl might be interested but distracted, or just vibing in the moment without giving obvious signals. If you rely too heavily on IOIs there, you’ll hesitate and miss opportunities.

Social circle game is solid when you actually have a decent mixed group that does stuff regularly. IME it's way less draining than grinding cold approaches every weekend, and the vibe feels more natural - things can just click without forcing it.
