@beefasil I'm a big fan of
@djsundog for music and tech and generally thoughtful words
@CaptainUnderpants because he's a good friend, and will eventually start posting pretty pictures from his recent hike.
@mrgah for good conversations and thoughtful opinions
@UberGeek more tech stuff, mostly.
and my new friend @hairylarry has also been a lot of fun. He's a musician and an archivist and a remixer, from what I've gathered.
@beefasil you might want to take a look through the #ff tag, maybe? If you're on a smaller instance, try https://retro.social/tags/ff to see all the ff posts I can see.
(or the same with most other instances to see what they can see.)
@beefasil One other tip for finding like minded folks:
When you post about something you care about, include a relevant hashtag or two. Then other folks posting about the same topic have a better chance of seeing it.
@beefasil Ooh! I remember seeing on your profile that you were a #prowrestling fan.
That's neat!
Regional or national? Do you follow any specific outfits?
When I lived in GA, I went to Robert Gibson's All Pro Championship Wrestling once a month. These days, most of my pro wrestling fix comes from #luchaunderground.
@ajroach42
I should try hitting an InspirePro show in Austin sometime; gotta fix that cash issue first.
Who's your fave in #LU?
@beefasil I'm still back in season two, because I'm watching them as they (slowly) pop back up on torrent sites, but Mil Muertes has been a Lot of fun to watch.
Of course, watching Prince Puma wrestle is always a treat, especially when he goes up against luminaries like Rey Mysterio.
I gotta say, though, my absolute favorite moments have been with Son of Havoc and company. The three way tag match when Angelico flew 30 feet sold me on that team.
@beefasil See, my best pro-wrestling story is a pretty bad one. :-\
I was in Atlanta, at the Georgia Dome, the night #WCW finally did themselves in.
The infamous Finger Poke of Death.
(And that, after a 15+ minute kickboxing match!)
so I got to see some history! But I'm not sure it was history worth seeing.
@ajroach42
Oh, man. Oi. I managed to see a live #WCW show in Atlanta with my ex, way back. First wrestling show I ever attended.
Wasn't that one. ;) Thank goodness.
@beefasil I went to every WCW show they hosted from the time I started watching wrestling.
Caught a highlight reel a few months ago, and got to see some of those matches again.
Of course, we were way up the nosebleeds, but it was fun.
@ajroach42
Same! Really, one of the only strong memories from that night in the nosebleeds was being psyched about Booker T. I don't even remember if he was out there as part of Harlem Heat.
@beefasil I repped the black and white long after that stopped being cool.
I was a huge Harlem Heat fan, too.
I was probably 22 years old before I realized that Booker T and Booker T were different people!
@beefasil I keep meaning to explore https://powerbomb.tv/ and decide if it's worth a subscription.
Actual coverage of independent wrestling would be amazing.
If APCW was involved, I'd probably have done it already, but they aren't and I haven't.
@ajroach42
In a bold, surprising move, a decent handful of feds have been moving to twitch.tv - anyone can watch their shows live, folks can subscribe to watch past events, and Prime subscribers that link their accounts result in some subscription money, too.
fite.tv of course has my #RingofHonor, where my boy Dalton Castle recently won their world championship. :D He's one of my faves.
@beefasil That's super neat to hear!
Do you know of any accounts specifically, so that I can go sign up for notifications?
