i've spent all morning explaining the fediverse to a cute girl in the hopes that she starts using mastodon

this is who you fuckers have made me become

EDIT: SHE DID IT I DID IT PLEASE GO FOLLOW @annamam

@lety but then she would be a fediverse user and undateable :/
@MLE_online she's already too attractive to be with me, i must taint her with the forbidden knowledge to knock her down a few pegs

@lety oh, it's like e-negging.

i should try getting hotties into socially unacceptable hobbies. it's a good strategy

@MLE_online @lety

I don't know. D&D used to be totally freakish and now we have people paying to watch actors play / do improv.

It could backfire and bringing in cool people could improve the social standing of the weird hobby.

@alienghic @MLE_online I say this with all the love and respect for the lifestyle, but where do I find the non-freaky D&D campaigns lmao 

@lety @MLE_online

To be fair... I am a terrible judge of what's closer to mainstream....

but I was thinking of:

Hollywood's 'Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern' gets it right

'Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern' opens at Hollywood's Montalbán Theatre, bringing the tabletop RPG to life with audience participation.

@alienghic @lety yea, that's not cool lol. It's extremely uncool

@MLE_online @lety

Dang... Crushing my dreams.

I'm going to have to something pathetic like clean my desk now.

@alienghic ok, but it's also uncool to care what other people think, so if you think that looks like fun, go enjoy it. who cares if it's uncool?

@MLE_online

Ah these social rules.... they are so confusing and ever shifting ;)

I do really need to clean my desk though. One of our cats is very into pacing around right now and my undealt with mail keeps falling over.

@alienghic @MLE_online lmao letting the record show that i have dozens of hours on peertube of me playing a solo rpg campaign alone in my bedroom

we can all be uncool together

@lety @MLE_online

Well I think that's neat thing to do with your time.
