Probably not, I learned early on the "how" depends on the person. So asking how one gets into a relationship is like asking how one wins at cards. The cards decide. Your chances also severely change based on the environment you're in.

I'm not a programmer and I agree. Only after getting into 3d art I started hearing about it and I don't think I've ever used it, let alone understand it, it's the sort of thing the technical artists know about. Nobody ever suggested me to use it for my images or 3d models.

As a visual artist I can confirm the "image_final_final2_b_final" trope is as real as it gets

I regularly check the sites about 1 time a month. I also have a little bot the looks for WRB (scene ripper) releases as he is the one that rips those sites. I don't technically need to check the site but I just like to make sure 100% it's fully up to date. The tiny4k site is half me and the rest scene since there was a way to web-dl the videos for about a week before they fixed it.

I then post monthly packs on kleverig (usenet) to help the guys that don't want to do it themselves.

I don't think much would happen if my girlfriend or my wife had access to my files.

I have a 40tb NAS that I store most of my /home directory on, so I can share it between my desktop/laptop/steam deck. The only local files are coding projects, games, or device specific configs. My wife has access to all of it, and has never said anything.

40tb NAS for /home

It's just sub directories like ~/Documents, etc. /home is just quicker, but I guess that's moot with this explanation. And yes, I have a very large Movie/TV collection.

V2 of the NAS will have 200tb for media, as well as an nvme array with a 40gigabit connection to my desktop. Still working out the specifics though.

Probably not because girls interested in nerd stuff are still a rare minority that become even more rare with the overage. People believe that things like gaming are a common reality but then the reality fails on simple alot of casuals that's believe owning a playstation make them nerds. This ruins the relationships, not just nerdy stuff, but everything that is a religious dedication, and when this things are hobbies like games easily a casual will not understand and will blames you for how you spending your time.

So given a hypothetical scenario in which you somehow got a girlfriend, you are inclined to think you got that far in a relationship with someone and somehow don't see eye to eye on gaming and hobbies (in spite of you acknowledging women who are into the stuff do exist)?

I would think the fact you and the hypothetical girlfriend are in a relationship means there is a pretty good chance she is one of those.

This is a weird mentality and not my experience at all. Many women love and are deep into games. You just need to be a nice person and keep meeting people.. and like, actually meet new people, many struggle with that part.
