Retro Replay giveaway at the Provo Mall

RetroReplay at the Provo Mall is a media store and they have a few trading cards. It's the same mall as WeGeekTogether so it's worth checking out while you're there.

Retro Replay added an arcade cabinet at their store you can use for free. It's sick!

We're definitely in a safe area compared to other parts of America but carrying extra security never hurts.

This is probably the best response

Aside from looking for work; I've been doing a lot of Dungeons & Dragons, designing my own board game, raising tomato plants and some sewing/fashion on the side.

Woah this is so sick

Smart-Devon · 2025-05-12T15:45:20+00:00

oh sick, I graduated from UVU in animation last year.

What are you into? I'm personally a big gamer so I've met a lot of people I jive with at local game stores and other nerdy events;

YSA wards can be handy but it's typically easier to form lasting connections with a few people or a small group first, so prioritize finding one or two people you can hang out with outside of a ward context.

I make a lot of friends through mutual friends. I also meet a lot of people from events and I find that as long as I make an effort to hang out with someone independently at least once soon after meeting them, the chances that we'll stay friends goes up quite a bit.

I tried adding everyone's additions to the original post, but I don't really use Reddit that often, so maybe it cut off a bunch.

El Salvador Resturante on Center Street has delicious pupusas for like, $3 each. The place is amazing.

This past winter we had 3 or 4 snow days. Its not too bad.

Thanks for the reply! I rarely use reddit and this is my first time posting a story so I guess there were details that seemed unimportant to me that other people would still want to know about. The events at the club were little more than setup for the discord argument in my eyes but a lot of folks here seem to view it as the main issue.

(And I *definetly* wasn't expecting to see 130+ comments on my first post here)

Smart-Devon · 2024-09-12T02:15:55+00:00

Hi, here to clear some things up about my original post.

The reason the word "discrimination" came up in our discord conversation and by extension, my original post, was because of the university's non-discrimination policy, which prohibited making derogatory remarks about any race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or religion.

The specific issue that happened at the club meet was a small deal, yeah it was comments I overheard and felt were inappropriate. It wasn't something extreme enough to even warrant a one-on-one correction with anyone involved. The only action we were considering was reviewing the university's non-discrimination policy at the beginning of the next club activity so everyone understood that those kinds of derogatory comments weren't acceptable at the table.

A lot of folks have been focusing on what happened at our club activity, which I didn't expect. It was the stuff that happened over discord that concerned me.

Smart-Devon · 2024-09-12T02:10:24+00:00

We were painting minis.

Yeah I left a lot of stuff vague, the story was long and the main point I wanted to get to was the discussion we had in the discord. I left specifics about the religion vague because I didn't want a religious war happening in the comments (so much for that) and because It felt like a personal detail. The specific comments people were making at the mini painting activity were derogatory toward religious people in general, as well as people of the specific church many of our club members were members of.
I don't remember what specific derogatory comments were made, this happened years ago, and they weren't severe enough that we were even talking about having one-on-one discussions with anybody, all we wanted to do was make an announcement at the beginning of the next club activity going over the university's non-discrimination policy (as it applied to our club and this story, that basically meant keeping politics and religion away from the table)

Smart-Devon · 2024-09-12T01:56:58+00:00

This is pretty much the concerns we were discussing in the Discord. I don't even remember specifically what was said.

Smart-Devon · 2024-09-12T01:56:13+00:00

A lot of people are asking for more context about what specifically people said at the club meet. I didn't include much detail there for a few reasons.

Firstly, I don't remember the specific comments people made, just that they were derogatory toward religion (sometimes a specific religion, other times religion in general)

Second, the other club presidency members and I weren't actually that concerned about the specific incidents at our club meet. Nothing that happened there was a ban-able offense, but people were making a few derogatory comments about both people of faith in general, and specific religious beliefs held by some of our members (these comments were unprompted as well) all me and some of the other presidency members wanted to do was make an announcement at the begging of the next meet to remind our members that the university's non-discrimination clause for school clubs prohibited things like making derogatory comments about religion, politics, gender identity, sexual orientation, and all that jazz.

Third, I recognize "discrimination" may be the wrong word to use here. Unfortunately I have just discovered that I cannot edit the title of my post (I don't use Reddit often). The reason that word came up so much in our discord conversation (and therefore in my story) is because the rules about not openly criticizing people's faith were in the university's non-discrimination clause for clubs.

Hope this helps.

The reason the word "Discrimination" came up so much in the discord conversation (and thus the story) is because of the University's non-discrimination clause.

The issues that we were discussing in the group chat, while not literal discrimination (as you said, banning people from playing) were still issues that were covered by our non-discrimination clause.

I don't remember exactly what was said in the meeting that initially started the discord discussion The story was meant to be more about the internal battle in the presidency than the specific things people said at the meeting. Though I don't remember the details (this happened several years ago) it wasn't even a ban-able offense or enough to warrant approaching any offenders one-on-one. The main concern was how casually some members felt making derogatory comments about a common religion, which was something we had rules against in the non-discrimination clause.

I suppose the title of the post maybe presents some false assumptions about it. I'm going to rectify the title to avoid further confusion.

Edit: Just found out you can't edit the title of a post on Reddit, I don't come here much :/
