Just found out about this through this post. Went ahead and removed gmaps, then added CoMaps. It might be missing a way to add shortcut buttons on the top from the saved places. But great overall.
My two cents: Imo the question is deeply flawed. "Win a girl" and "being out of someone's league" are assumptions that prevent you from reaching a rational answer. It is like asking "which color makes me look more like a french planet?" It just does not make sense. My reasoning is that (as others pointed out) a girl is not something you win, because relationships were never a game. Nobody talks like this about friends, or how to "win" your brother's trust and friendship. It is a made up "hustler rat" mindset that has permeated through the "winner-loser" trope, and prevents people from seeing the opposite sex as a fellow human being. So then leagues are a deformation of people's personal compatibility and preferences. Someone "out of your league" could at most be interpreted as "lack of compatible lifestyle, goals, interests, and ideals". And even those factors in a person change over time as we grow and alter our interests. Sometimes we like calm people around us, sometimes we prefer someone that pulls us out of our comfort zone, or listens and is attentive, reflexive, or conscious about a topic we are also worried about, and so we relate to each other through our way of thinking. And then very often we even fall or become infatuated with the idea of someone that we built in our heads, which seems to happen far too often.
As some other commenters said, the more you interact and show interest and care for people, the more they will surprise you and the more likely you will find meaningful connections, maybe even a relationship. People make the relationship the goal and forget about the people, turning human contact into an empty experience.
Ghost of Tsushima. After completing both Horizon games because people on the internet + a friend said it was good... THEY ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AT ALL (imo). To me, Ghost is FAR better than horizon games, runs better, the story is muuuuch better, the characters are great, the gameplay is addictively fun, music is amazing, setting is beautiful (though not historically accurate), etc. If you are looking at ghost vs horizon on what to play, pick ghost a thousand times. Horizon is not a bad game, just not on the same league as people on the internet make it sound. Honestly the story and characters are bland and lacking. Idk why but it feels like people these days have a low bar when it comes to fantasy, likely because there is an insane hunger for it. Ghost is not a masterpiece at all, it is just better than Horizon. Looking forward to Ghost of Yotei.
