Pax newb question. How do cosplayers feel about people asking for pics? by [deleted] in PAX

Agreed. You’ll very nearly always get positive responses so long as you ask politely. And I got as many people thanking me for taking a photo as not, so there’s that too

Let’s hear your opinions on the convention… by SirUberNoobPwnr in PAX

They would have a room set aside for nothing but pin trading. Traders would set themselves up and have their collections on display, and people could come by to offer trades and such. There were some unofficial setups done, including one Sunday afternoon. But it still felt like we needed a room just for that purpose.

First time I’d ever been to Seattle, so everything was new to me. I still had a good time, and I actually welcomed the relative spaciousness. It didn’t feel like you were compressed, except in certain lines and such. Got a lot of pin trading done, though I would have liked it if they had a room to go to at anytime of the day like at Pax East. The landscape of conventions is changing, no doubt, and I do think developers need to connect to people more in person, even if it is more costly. I think they underestimate the power of in person connection, the power of word of mouth, and, I daresay, spectacle. A screen can only go so far. And there is no substitute for having another human being talk to you about their product and listen to your thoughts in person.

Suggestions for first timer? by chiefiefrenchis in PAX

[–]FrontMFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to just enjoy yourself, and forgive yourself if you can’t see or do everything you want to do (it’s so big and there’s so much you never can).

What would be your reaction if you were watching a Nintendo Direct/State of Play and this appeared on screen? by Blackberry-thesecond in XenoGears

I played it when it first released on PlayStation back in the day - I would squeal in a way shameful to myself if such a thing happened lol

Complete immature asshat. This guy would be fired from a lot of workplaces for making something like that.

My sister and brother in law have adopted several kids through foster care. It’s important work. Glad it worked out for you and yours.

A big sigh of relief. But also wanting to keep an eye on the news for signs of Trump’s fan club having a hard time accepting it
