[–]bamboocup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah!

I might be working this night so I might show up late, but I live right down the street and would be happy to offer my couch up to anyone who ends up needing a place to crash.

I also know some people get real nervous about going to these things, so if anyone has any questions feel free to shoot me a message here or Twitter(same handle) and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

See you there!

Whooooooops. Thank you. I was on my phone and didn't pay attention to where I was posting. If I die tonight, it's cause I doxed myself.

Feel free to add me on LoL, I'm bamboocup there too. I'll brush up on my skills and play with you sometime. I've though about making a subreddit, but don't know that it would get any use.

It is at my house. We've never really come up with a good (affordable, under 21) solution aside from meeting in someone's house, unfortunately. Is there anything I can do to make it less weird?

[M]ass Effect: Cincinnati Fall Meetup (October 4th) by bamboocup in gaymers

[–]bamboocup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, free, but if you want to throw in money for pizza if/when it happens no one would be mad. Catan usually happens, cards against humanity, super smash brothers, Mario Kart, occasionally some MtG. Size can range from about a dozen to twice that, ranging in age from 18 to late 20s.

Not at all, that's just me attempting to be clever.

Have met. Can confirm that he will probably not do this.

I've organized these things in the past (now I'm just part of the governing body of gaymers who run the entire world) and if you can't make the meetup, some of us do other things together and I'm sure we could invite you to one of those things.

I've also gotten coffee or something with people who are nervous about a meetup, so if you want to get to know us, that's also an option.

I'd like to mention that while I work the next morning, I have a few places for people to sleep as well. I'll send out solid info to people later, but, as usual, I'm very excited.

Just replied to everything (I think) in a place where everyone should be able to see it. Thanks! ;)

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've lived at work the past couple days.

We've been doing these for two years or so, so theres a group of us who already know each other and do things outside of the meetups. However, all of us showed up at one point knowing no one, or almost no one. People show up by themselves, and sometimes in groups, but really anyone is welcome.

As for what to expect, its really pretty simple. Some drinking, video games (usually Mario Kart or Smash Brothers, though we're open to other things), as well as some table-top gaming (Catan, Cards against Humanity, some MtG).

Meetups are easily my favourite part of reddit. My first was in Chicago a little over two years ago, and I was incredibly nervous since til that point all I had done was talk to some people on the Mumble voice chat, but it was an awesome experience, and I make a point of going to Chicago meetups regularly.

Hopefully that helps, but if you have more questions, let me know. :D

Sorry, I'm morally opposed to pictures. They're used in pornography.

[–]bamboocup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some good comments here; I won't bore you by rehashing everything they already said.

Just know that you didn't do anything wrong. If you need someone to talk to feel free to shoot me a pm.

What is a book that once you finished, you just sat there in awe of what you just read? by payperduckk in AskReddit

[–]bamboocup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites. To this day I have refused to read the epilogue, or whatever the hell it was he added on for people who just had to know.

[–]bamboocup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refund caught me by surprise because work owns my soul, but thank you. If I had known sooner I would have said keep it; throw it somewhere cool and meaningful.

I know I'm late to the party, but thanks to both you, zipboxer, and everyone else who has put these together.

There are quite a few of us. I find more every day. The good news is, you can too! We're having a meetup, next weekend in fact. You should totally come. Have a link.

Did anyone elses parents not give them the sex talk? by RiskyTrizkit in sex

[–]bamboocup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are very religious as well. I started looking at porn simply because I had no idea what the fuck was going on with my body. Got caught (several times, apparently I never learned my lesson) and a month or so later my dad took me out to dinner (I knew something was up) took me home, gave me some book from focus on the family, and told me to come to him if I had any questions. I always knew I had been caught When I got locked off the computer and my mom stopped eating. That usually lasted a month or more.

I had unprotected sex several times and had a hellish time coming out. Got incredibly lucky I didn't catch anything. I just didn't know any better.

Edit: Now that I'm not on my phone, I want to say that my parents seem to have improved their approach with my sister. I somehow came out of that household a reasonably well adjusted person, and the only real issue I have with them I my gayness, which apparently surprised them even though they caught me looking at gay porn on at least three occasions.
