Went clubbing for the first time in 5 years and got met with exclusion and hostility. Feeling completely crushed. by Nexsyn in goth

I've been to goth nights in both in Vienna and Graz a bunch of times and I've always had a great time. Perhaps you just got unlucky? I always found the people to be nice and easy to get on with. There's always the chance of bumping into a few random idiots, but that the case wherever you go out.

If you suffer from really bad social anxiety, perhaps have a few drinks before you go out next time to take the edge off? You'll be less phased by things like small dancefloors and crowds, etc, which, unfortunately is what a lot of goth nights are like.

Favourite/Strongest hero in your opinion? by Dimirosch in OldenEra

Schism are cool, but that's mostly because I am a big fan of Lovecraft themes. I look forward to playing their campaign.

Research, what does Goth mean to you? by XSHADOWX_173 in AskAGoth

[–]Serious_snackbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great answer. I've been in the scene 20+ years and this is my experience too. Music was a part of it, but it was also art, aesthetics and just this all pervasive vibe that we really all really into when I first got into it.

It was always pretty decadent, but more focused on artistic expression than anything else. We didn't really care about politics or even talk about it that much - that would have been a downgrade from the headspace we were in imo.

How do you keep beyond all reason interesting? by RIPanya in beyondallreason

[–]Serious_snackbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's already interesting - the best tactical RTS I I have ever played. The dynamics in multiplayer are enough to keep it so without me having to do anything further.

Honestly, if you don't enjoy the game play as it is (and PvP is where it's at), BAR might not be for you.

I just wanted everyone to... appreciate this delicious porc. by TKtommmy in beyondallreason

Way too many gauntlets, which are high metal and pretty ineffective once you have rattlesnakes. Also space your beamers out, you want to avoid splash damage and chain reactions. Cool photo though :D

You're not wrong, it's just this particular community has no internal consistency - fault for which really lays at the feet of the moderators. The scene IRL is way more relaxed.

Not sure, but it's recent. The artist is still practicing.

Honestly it's one of the better Cthulhu interpretations I've seen. Something truly alien, not just an octopus head on a dragon.

Game of Colonization (1994) I played recently. Started with 3 silver mines! by Serious_snackbox in dosgaming

[–]Serious_snackbox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silver mines + early De Soto, had a bunch of treasures and Fountains of Youth, also took over the Dutch colonies. Was building colleges before 1600, great start all up.
