A one time encounter is different than seeing someone regularly. Also poor.
hubertmanne@piefed.social@piefed.social 2 weeks ago yeah conventions cost dough. you can ghost but that won’t handle travel and such.

so the issue isn’t your hobbies, it’s being poor.

If I had the money, I don’t think frequenting conventions would make me less lonely. You got to spend hours traveling to the city to meet other travelers. I’m thinking meeting like minded people where I live, with physicality and frequency.
A stranger you meet a few times at a distant convention might as well be a internet rando on the other side of the world. It’s not a regular occurrence like running into your neighbor or co worked when touching grass.
If hot singles were in my area, we wouldn’t have the means or RNG circumstances of finding each other.

hey now, what about LAN parties? You can meet a whole bunch of passionate… League of legends players…
I don’t know enough people that would be into it, and I’ve had too many League payers in my life.
