  • @maxprime my technology teacher in middle school did something similar with me and a bunch of other kids in 1995 or so. That’s how I fixed my first pc, and eventually started a career in IT. There was no team competition, but he basicallt said "these are some broken computers, if you can fix them you can have a lab to play Doom or whatever you want. He helped us setting up the IPX network tbf, but we had to check what dimm banks were working, which not, same with hdd and processors, and put togheter everything and install Windows 3.11


  • @[email protected] the reason why on reddit I did not hang out “generic” rpg spaces is because by sheer volume DnD 5e players dominate the conversation, and a large part of the DnD 5e conversation (at least on reddit) seems to focus on mechanics optimization, meta, and very DnD-specific things I am not interested about.

    OSR/NSR/Indie spaces are more interesting for someone like me that prefers talking about adventuring, and the less boardgame-y or MMO-y aspects of the game.

    To clarify: I have zero elitism or gatekeeping feelings towards DnD 5e, it’s a good game that opened up the hobby to many many people, and it’s a blessing, however I like having a space where to talk about rpgs that are not it.
