But did you offer to install linux on her laptop... either for real or in a suggestive way involving lots of eyebrow movement?

@autisticplushy so you know email, right? It's like email but also not enough like email that any normal person has ever found the comparison helpful

@lety What is email? I only know chatgpt

@lety @autisticplushy This made me laugh out loud. It's true, and I always feel unhinged trying to explain it to anyone who isn't already here, even though it seems pretty simple to me as someone who uses it. I've successfully gotten a couple of people to join, so I hope she's soon posting with all the other weird nerds.

@lety but then she would be a fediverse user and undateable :/
Show threadLety Does StuffMar 15
@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
Show threadEmily VelascoMar 15

@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.

Show threadEmily VelascoMar 15
@alienghic @lety D&D is still freakish. That people pay to watch others play it is just a sign that there are a lot of uncool people with money to waste
Show threadLety Does StuffMar 15
@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 ​
Show threadEmily VelascoMar 15

@lety @alienghic Let me know if you find one. I went to one, one time, and it was the most poorly socialized nerds with swords on their walls and glass display cases of figurines filling the house they shared.

The most interesting thing to happen that night was that their dog had an boner that it spent most of the time licking. I fell asleep at the table.

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.

Show threadEmily VelascoMar 15
@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?
Show threadDianeMar 15

@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
