I’m already in despair and drowning in information, even though I don’t understand any of it; I really want to learn, but I don’t know what to do.

I finished the mooc.fi course and am currently studying CS (it provides some knowledge, but the subjects I’m actually interested in won't start for another couple of years). I don't know what to do next; roadmaps don't help much unless you have someone to explain *how* and *why* you should learn certain things. I started following a path from a post on this subreddit—learned the basics of HTML and CSS, a bit of JavaScript, and built a small static site with working buttons. I began reading up on web fundamentals (HTTP, URLs, etc.) but got completely stuck for weeks trying to figure out what to learn and how. The guide recommends moving on to servlets and Maven (I have almost no idea what they actually are), while other sources suggest jumping straight to Spring—though you still need to understand how servlets work, since Spring uses them under the hood.I finished the mooc.fi course and am currently studying CS (it provides some knowledge, but the subjects I’m actually interested in won't start for another couple of years).

I don't understand exactly what I should be studying or where to study it. Could someone help me figure out what to do and recommend resources—like the MOOC I already completed, but tailored to the topics I need right now?I don't understand exactly what I should be studying or where to study it.

I hope someone can help me, but in the meantime, I'll just work on LeetCode problems.

This is my first time playing DMC. I bought the HD Collection, the fourth, and fifth parts. I'm definitely not saying the first one is bad, but at some point, I realized I was torn between "it's not bad" and "I hate this game." So, having reached mission 17, I think I don't want to continue. I want to share what I didn't like about this part and hear other opinions, but that doesn't mean there are positive aspects.

I'm annoyed by the camera, which works well for older horror games, but here I often can't see what's going on, and I just spent more time on platforming than on combat, and most of the bosses felt pretty easy. I was also really annoyed by how slow this game is. In mission 17, I'm slowly running up a spiral staircase, then down a corridor—just to reach the next area where I’d run a bit further only to trigger a fight (which seemed challenging but interesting), then sprint through long corridors to reach a dragon, defeat it easily, and leisurely platform my way to an item, only to head back down that same corridor where the actual boss fight takes place. What I dislike most is that if I fail—which is quite likely when facing a boss for the first time—I’d have to repeat that whole "exciting" journey of running through corridors and platforming for the item all over again. I decided to skip the first two games, just watch a story recap, and pick up with the third one.

Important: we’ve been dating for six months; this is the first relationship for both of us, and neither of us has had any sexual experience yet.

I’ve always felt that simply talking things through is enough in a relationship, but her words seem to contradict her actions; that’s why I’d like to get a woman’s perspective on this—perhaps women would find it easier to understand the situation. My anxiety centers mostly on the sexual aspect, yet the situation really weighs on me because, in every other regard, she seems like the perfect partner. Even back when we first started dating, I noticed—based on her reactions to certain videos or comments—that she was, at the very least, quite guarded about this topic, and after one conversation, I decided to ask whether she might be asexual; she first wanted to hear how I would rate my own libido (I said I felt it was quite high), but at that specific moment, she sort of sidestepped the question, and I didn't want to push it. We revisited the topic later, and she assured me quite confidently that she had no issues in that regard and that she felt attracted to me. I then asked if she thought a relationship without intimacy was possible; she said that in her early teens, she had been certain she would look for a partner with whom hugging was the peak of intimacy, but that she no longer held that view.

At the same time, she either ignored or reacted with slight negativity to any Reels touching on the subject of sex; however, I was unsettled again when a joke I made—which only very lightly touched on the topic—either scared her or caused her some irritation. I don’t want to retell the joke, but it was an offhand remark and wasn't even specifically about sex; the sexual aspect was merely implied as something that had already happened. Yet, when we discussed the matter a second time, she said she simply had a lower libido than I did and once again confidently insisted that we definitely wouldn't face any difficulties stemming from this difference.

We’ve been dating for six months now, yet we haven’t even kissed once—something that worries me a little. Yesterday, she told me she had never masturbated in her life; that was somewhat expected, though it also gave me pause. How can I have a proper conversation with her about this, or should I just let it go? Could this actually lead to difficulties down the line? What should I do?

TLDR: My girlfriend is telling me that she's surely not asexual and feels attraction towards me. But every time sex is even slightly mentioned she acts weirdly. How do I learn what she really feels like and if it is really not a problem?
