from my experience with Lemmy the vibes people give off are either:

depressed genderqueer ppl escaping reddit that hates capitalism,
or,
depressed dads escaping reddit that hates capitalism

both love doom 1993.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't fit either of these, but I do hate capitalism, so I think we've found the true common denominator!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

Same, but do you like Doom 93?

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I am on Lemmy and I hate communism (historical reasons) so maybe Doom is the true God.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, you are merely called to create a new post-capitalist economic system.

Get to work.

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well what socioeconomic system is used in Doom?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well after capitalism unleashed the hordes of Hell on Mars Doomguy invades their world and mines the inhabitants for resources in revenge so I'm pretty sure that's still capitalism

Maybe you could try for an economy based on revenge based killing in general though

Might I interest you in Mutualism?

As long as it isn't communism, fascism or similar.

They're in the first group.

There's definitely room for more happy people in the mix. I try my best to inject humor and whimsy here and there, while above all else trying to stay engaged with the types of topics I'm interested in (explaining things I know, asking about things I don't know, and generally keeping topics alive if they're good topics I want to continue).

I generally delete my draft comments that come off as rude, before posting them, because I'm not sure this place needs more negativity.

Latter, but the depression has been better lately despite the relentless ( ・_・)ノ ya know? Everything? Definitely hate capitalism and Reddit refugee though. Doom 93 is the absolute shit.

They tried this the next year with gene engineers and a furry convention, but it did not end well

The catgirl incident

This is exactly what happened for my favorite tech support call of all time was. Worked support for a biotech firm and the site director and his EA went to some conference out of state. Went out of my way to make sure nothing would expire and they could use the VPN, usual due diligence and such. Get a very paniced call on the last day and they say there is nothing wrong, but the EA was freaking out as a ton of nerds in costume just showed up. I did some digging about the venue and found out it was the same con I attended in high school.

Spent the next while explaining what anime and anime conventions were to a very eastern-european middle-aged woman and her boss. Oh the tales of tech support.

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

You should have told them that they had summoned those creatures due to connecting the VPN wrong

A few years ago I attended PAX Unplugged in Phily. PAX Unplugged is a tabletop gaming convention. Think your classic DND and eurogamer crowd. But there was also a marathon going on at the same time, and the marathon had their own convention in the same convention center. So you had both the tabletop gamer crowd and the marathon athletes sharing the same space and streets for several days. It was glorious.

Nobody out nerds running nerds.

I know it's hard to get a hotel room in dragon con but just once I want some one to happen to have a business meeting. They book a hotel room and are just utterly confused about all the other guests....

Mixing Amway with Shmoocon, however, was a very bad idea. Fun for the hackers and social engineers, though.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 1 year ago

I could have done anime and robot stuff in 1 trip?

[–] xwolpertinger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The real question is: Did he pass the Forbidden Fruit test?

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He failed because there weren't any questions about Starlight Knight
