>Ship guns do minimal damage to players.
Handheld weapons and ship weapons actually use the same damage model.
If you're shooting a Panther at a player, it's only 43 alpha to start with, it's hard to land hits, and it has a knockback effect, making it even harder to land a followup.
If they're wearing heavy armor you're only doing 25 damage per panther hit, which are hard to land.
It's easy to destroy ship components with handheld ballistics.

>men don't work for prestigious degrees anymore because they just jerk off to porn instead
>men don't get high paying jobs to impress women anymore because they just jerk off to porn instead
>some men stop interacting with women entirely to jerk off to porn, other men objectify and exploit women in one-night stands treating them like pornstars instead of dating or marrying them like they're supposed to

Women campaigned for the social situation they have now. I don't say that in some he-man-woman-hater blackpilled way. I like the women I work with and see in my community. The social paradigms are just different now. Men have lost their way, haven't caught up, or maybe don't care. At any rate, there's no incentive for a lot of men to do anything but cope with porn and gaming. Modern life is tiresome. Social media teases us all with lifestyles we can't lead.

I have two degrees and a decent job. I'm over six feet tall and lift weights 5+ times a week. I don't date right now. I don't blame anyone or call myself an incel. After I get off work, I just want peace. It's not my job to entertain another adult 24/7. That's what a lot of American women want from men, who also have to be tall/attractive/rich in some cases.

>people blaming Nintendo for Rare becoming bad
I'm sure you've seen those stories of an engaged guy finding out his future wife was a giga whore, a gold digger, or some other massive negative and bailing out before they got fucked over.
That's Nintendo, he's the guy, he avoided the bullet, he swerved out the fucking way just in time. If Nintendo picked up Rare it would have been bad but in different ways.

Jump into the other timelines and take a look you'll know I'm right.

>Pooners are so based for making moids seethe.
They don't make me seethe
Being a man isn't some awe inspiring thing that would make a woman's life that much different, unless you are a Mystique tier shapeshifter
It's weirdly masochistic to see women mutilate themselves for nothing. Man made horrors beyond comprehension and all that. I have a penis. sometimes it vexes me. Your franken sausage sewn over your clit will never be a penis. Stop tying to make people call it one.

Well the other option is ritualistic courtship which relies on more formal social structures, and we don't have that anymore. Got ripped to shreds by immigration and TV, although the final bullet in the head was the smartphone. If there's a formal way for a man to politely indicate interest and a woman to politely accept or decline without anyone losing too much face, men with no confidence "game" can succeed by simply being sincere and having a good offer.

Without that, you need a confidence game. It's valuable just to realize that it's neither "confidence" nor "game" that works, it's a confidence game that works. As in a con. Everything that every seduction expert teaches matches almost 1 to 1 with how you run a confidence scam, it's all the same levers. Which is why women have so much trouble finding anything serious these days and why serious men can't seem to get anywhere.

Why do they call it a confidence game? Because you give me your confidence? No, it's because I give you mine.
