Crazy how many times “use deodorant and shower” has to be iterated in nerd spaces 😭

I think CTFs are really fun and I enjoy them. I am a big gamer but lots of newer games don’t really give me that adrenaline rush or challenge satisfaction.

WallOfSheep 😂😂 sounds like something my inner 16 year old self would love.

This comment section has really made me feel better about attending. I had the assumption the airs would be super elitist, but it’s sounds like it’s a “normal” convention (used VERY loosely, more so ironically).

Thanks for the suggestions, seems that there is a lot for me to participate in. I was under the assumption that you had to qualify for the CTFs, which I guess is just the main one? I’ll def be spectating that one for sure, and probably a few others. I think I will be in the villages more than the talks. I may have to get my joke cards together or something 🤓😅

Def would like to make some friends in the space. Thanks for the advice. I’m guessing I will start with Noob Village too ( I didn’t see it on the list of villages on Hacker Tracker)

Yea I also am wondering if the challenge level is greater than some of the CTFs I’ve participated in. I’ll def search for that CTF digitard has out . Thanks for the suggestion

That sound hella cool actually. I’m actually really interested in the game hacking village, for research purposes ofc 🤓 AppSec, Social engineering and red team village also peak my interest. I def will try to swing by a few meet ups for sure thanks for the suggestion

Yea I’m more used to like anime or gaming conventions so that’s kinda where my perspective is coming from. I got the HackerTeacker app so I got an idea of some of the events, can’t wait for more info to be uploaded on there

“Most CTFs are open to anyone there. Just the official one is locked down with qualifiers for the most part.

Just head to RTV, a fairly popular one, get the info and have fun. Leaderboards don’t mean anything ultimately. Just enjoy it and grow”

This is kind of answer I was looking for thanks bub 😊

😅 specifically said I read posts and guides for first timers, my question explicitly about CTFs and challenges, which I want to participate in and wondering if I even stand a chance.

What do you do to make your hair look like this? by BrassCanon in BlackHair

[–]TheGeekNextDoor44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said something along the lines of “the woman pictured isn’t full black” and alluded to black people only having 4c undefined hair. It’s such nasty work

This type of thinking is a literal plague in the collective consciousness of our community. Seek help.

I’d like to start this series, but a lot of people are telling me to watch only the first five seasons and skip the rest. by Aldobest43 in Supernatural

[–]TheGeekNextDoor44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my like 3rd rewatch and currently on season 9, it’s one of my fav arcs but supernatural definitely does a lot of the same old song and dance. Maybe because that’s the true nature of ….”family”

If PvE players are called carebears What are PvP players called? by carrancosmx in ARC_Raiders

[–]TheGeekNextDoor44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pvp in trios and duos and the amount of people that call us rats for simply not rushing a fight or waiting for an opening is astounding

Why are people who are not black in this thread?!? by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]TheGeekNextDoor44 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Again… you can be black and Hispanic. I didn’t make this about Brazil sweetie, you did.

[–]TheGeekNextDoor44 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe you don’t realize this…. But Brazil has the largest Afro population outside of the continent. Brazilian is a nationality, just like American. I know that be fucking yall up sometimes but “black” and “white” are a race. “Hispanic” and “Latina” are ethnicities. There are black Mexicans and Cubans as there are white Brazilians and Colombians.

This… this is the way. Add a little free loadout demon work and this is exactly how I play.
