I remember when I first met my D&D group in person (we all originally met in TF2) and none of them looked how I imagined them to look based on their voices. lol

Was fun tho; we almost got kicked out the hotel for being too loud which is funny cuz we were literally just playing D&D all night. Imaging the neighbors that complained being like "I didn't get a wink of sleep last night because these fucking D&D nerds."

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Lol, I'm sure D&D nerds have to be so low on the list of things a hotel worries about showing up.

When in reality it should be at least near the top. D&D can get really loud without anything particularly big happening. Excitement can be around any corner!

I can deal with the room next door having wild sex all night, but DND is where I draw the line!

Subconsciously? Dude, I have an application process.

Do you send a Google Form?

I need a picture comparison as an example

Look up some of the old reddit meetups (when they used to be a thing).

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

I went to a reddit meetup in the early 2010s and...this is gonna sound like bullshit but it's true....I was shocked at the average attractiveness in the room. Like there were no bombshells but almost everyone was above average. Only one or two that were conventionally unattractive... So I guess no mods were there (badum tsss)

I went to one of the mod meetups they did right before COVID.

There were some attractive mother fuckers there. Also the founder of bread stapled to trees, who was simultaneously one of the oddest and nicest people I've ever met.

But yeah, there were a bunch of good looking people. Most of the /r/NFL mod crew were there and all of them were standard jocks. There were enough attractive strangers that it damn near turned into a reddit mod orgy (which is probably why I haven't heard of another mod meet up with unlimited booze)

I went to one of those and it was a lot of fun. I was surprised at how well some of those folks connected so quickly (groups of them were immediately playing board games and hanging out). I wish I had half the confidence those people have.

When I don’t, I act like I do, and the rest takes care of itself. Plus more friends plus more actual confidence.

… Baltimore 🫠

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Ah, that explains why people don't want to hang out with me then

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

You're too attractive. It's intimidating.

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 21 points 1 month ago

Wait, what do you all look like?

[-] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 month ago

Incredibly attractive.

Sorry

[-] netvor@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Why apologize?

I also look incredibly attractive.

Turns out we all do, so it's fine. (🍨🍨🍨 😭 )

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 13 points 1 month ago

I am gorgeous or I am a hag. There's no in-between.

Online apps where you can see pictures of people (eg dating sites) sort exactly the same.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Or age, or gender, or profession, etc. Meeting up with the people from the rpg forums was definitely an experience!

[-] jmj88@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Agreed. Very true.

[-] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

I guess I'm so ugly that people are aware of it online as in real life
