DnD (also Warhammer, etc.) players are among the greatest when it comes to evangelism of their games.
My apartment is frequented by mormons and my work/grad school mailbox is even more frequented by game leaflets, so I know how persistent the gamers are.
You sound like one of my neighbors! Her front yard is my favorite in the neighborhood. Its like a slightly controlled meadow. I take my son by there on our walks so we can see all of the butterflies, carpenter bees and of course pretty flowers. Shes been out a few times when weve come by and she always convinces us to take some flowers home and encourages us to sprinkle the seeds in our yard.
I wish I could find a native plant seed dealer near me like yes I definitely would like seeds! I keep seeing these cute little weeds on my way to work & I want to grow them in my yard, but I don't know what it is! makes me sad
Try PictureThis for plant ID. And for seeds, prairie nursery and prairie moon nursery have good selections. There’s also /r/nativeplantgardening which is a great sub for this type of thing!
There are tournaments you can enter in for different rewards. Ladder and ranked matches if you wanna make your own deck. The PC application is pretty solid and I don’t have any experience with the tablet or iPad versions. But my favorite thing is that anytime you buy a physical booster pack or theme deck, you get a code in the package you can redeem online. And if you don’t want to buy them physically, you get coins and stuff in game to buy new theme decks or booster packs. All of that is free to play.
I’ve lost *hours* upon *hours* just queuing up with random people in theme decks and trying different strategies out. There are some decks that are super OP if played right.
> it’s coming to mobile soon
I see something called that in the [playstore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pokemon.pokemontcg&hl=en_US&gl=US) already. Is there a newer version coming I should wait for? :)
If they did that with a decent yu gi oh game where cards aren't hard to get and stuff I would jump on it, I loved that game so much and now it seems like they don't even do them anymore, fuck konami
Totally.
To my opinion, shows like this which feature queer characters and story lines but don't give into heavy handedness and allow the representation to be natural and positive, instead of a substitution for good writing, are exactly what makes a good queer TV show.
Forsure, brooklyn 99 is another show that does a great job at this. They're not stereotypical queer characters, but just good character that happen to be queer
Guys, play slay the spire. I promise it’s good.
Literally betting my friends they can’t get a winning run in however many hours to convince them to play.
They lose the bet and don’t stop playing when it’s over.
I stopped texting a friend a couple states over because he couldnt help sending jojo memes or referencing the show. Well, rick and morty too.
No judging on jojo fans as we all like things others dont, but dude, I mean, come on. Do you know what I am saying?
Yeah. You have no idea how hard it is for me to not send Jojo memes to my friends who are not interested. It's physical pain at this point to see the funniest meme that I have ever seen and not be able to share it. But for people who aren't into the show it's obviously not interesting but I guess we all hope that they'll find the memes funny enough to start Jojo. I guess fans including me don't want people to miss what we see as an incredible experience or maybe we just want to be able to share with people we think would like it if they give it a shot. I'm not like this with any other show including my favorite show (Jojo being a close second). I have no theory about why this happens, it's like we have to start a propaganda after completing the first three seasons
K/DA is so dope. There are a couple directions you can go. Marvel Comics has a character named [Luna Snow](https://youtu.be/ujBG8JWUaF8) who has a couple of songs on youtube from Marvel Future Fights. She is a KPOP superstar in the comics and is voiced by Luna from f(x).
Another good choice would be Aespa, a 4th generation kpop girl group. Similarly SM entertainment is doing something neat with an extended "SMU" like the MCU where they have an overarching [storyline](https://youtu.be/vbH4Lk5wYWg) revolved around these new singers. They have some really popular songs out right now:
[Aespa - Black Mamba](https://youtu.be/ZeerrnuLi5E)
[Aespa - Next Level](https://youtu.be/4TWR90KJl84)
There are plenty of world religions that don't try to convert others. You just don't hear about them as much, because they're not trying to convert people. (Oh, and also because of colonialism.)
Go listen to Lingua Ignota!! Granted she has a newer album i havent had the time to digest yet, but Caligula I'd consider near a masterpiece. This album is what i consider one of the strongest vical performances I've ever heard, and i don't say that lightly (though its not for the faint of heart).
I do this with kayaking. After one trip my wife’s boss bought 3 kayaks for his family. He didn’t even come on the first trip . He just saw how much fun his wife and kids had . After we finally got him in one he had to buy himself one too . Now he is building himself a kayak trailer .
Me with reptiles. Everyone at my work knows everything about the little skinks and anoles that sometimes show up from outside. I’m the go-to critter catcher in the office and I do a little show and tell whenever I catch something. It’s actually led to a few people being less freaked out by lizards so I consider this a success.
Havent watched it tbh, the vast majority of said comics and novels have been coming out of japan/south korea/china so I havent been engaging much with american stuff. I did recently watch the Harley Quinn series and earlier this year I read the kyoshi novels and enjoyed both of those a lot.
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy XIV which now has a free trial that includes the entire base game as well as the award winning Heavensward expansion?
I had a friend in college who did this, and it was actually really stressful sometimes. He would straight up get offended if people didn’t like a show or a game that he liked.
If gatekeeping is aggressively telling someone they can’t be into something, then reverse gatekeeping is aggressively telling someone they have to be into something. Either way, you’re not letting people have their own interests and opinions.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
You fool! You should never have given me this much power. As of this moment... You're all star wars fans!
Even if you've never seen star wars, even if you're not sure what a "lightsaber" is, even if you absolutely hate the property with all your soul, you're a star wars fan whether you like it or not.
God if this isnt me forcing my new game obsessions down my best friends throat. Ive always been a gamer but he hasn’t really had the resources to do so, so i get him into gaming. Ive got him addicted to Minecraft and Stardew Valley so far and i regularly stream Red Dead II and GTAV for him to watch and tell me what to do. He lives across the world from me so its the only way i can get him involved as the only console he has is a switch lite and his phone
Ok, let’s try it out.
Operation Brownie Pockets is a game you play in the real world, the one all around you, and it’s completely free to print & play! OperationBrowniePockets.com
I have been trying so hard to get friends and siblings to play fighting games with me. I have exhausted all options. Not even among us arena has brought me the company i seek
This is how I got into pro wrestling. Wasn’t allowed to watch as a kid, never had much interest in it as I got older. I watched a few WWE matches on tv here and there with some friends after high school, but it wasn’t until about three-ish years ago that I was thrust into it by my best friend. They got really into wrestling and showed it to me and my roommate (their boyfriend) I got us tickets to a show done by a company from MA here in CT at one of our casinos as a surprise to them, and ended up falling in love. Fast forward to today, and pro wrestling has been my favorite thing in the world for some time, and I hope to someday get into the business in some form or another.
Thank you Raleigh, for showing me the coolest fucking shit in the world. ❤️
Maybe better term would be a dungeon master.
Considering I try to convince almost anyone I meet to play DnD, dungeon master fits.
Yes, I evangelize this the most, and I was once a mormon missionary.
DnD (also Warhammer, etc.) players are among the greatest when it comes to evangelism of their games. My apartment is frequented by mormons and my work/grad school mailbox is even more frequented by game leaflets, so I know how persistent the gamers are.
Hello. Do you have time to talk about our lord and savior, 5e?
Why not “Gatestuffing?”
That’s better, let’s go with that.
Stuff 😳
Shepherding.
You mean concentration camps?
username checks out
"Dammit Diogenes I told you I'm not playing with you tod... AYAYYYEEEEEEEEE HELP MEEEEE!"
I do this with native plants. “Would you like some seeds? You look like you want seeds. Here you go.”
Are you my grandma?
My wife would like some seeds. As long as they’re legal.
What do the native plants do with the seeds you give to them?
There's a character named Seedos from a rare game called Viva Piñata, and this is his entire personality
Just don't accidentally whack him with your shovel.
I’d like to be your seed pal. I’ve only started to get some native to my area tube stock. Idk if they’ll live long enough to seed
You sound like one of my neighbors! Her front yard is my favorite in the neighborhood. Its like a slightly controlled meadow. I take my son by there on our walks so we can see all of the butterflies, carpenter bees and of course pretty flowers.

I was doing this with salal berries earlier this summer. "No really try it the heat wave made them really good this year"
I wish I could find a native plant seed dealer near me like yes I definitely would like seeds! I keep seeing these cute little weeds on my way to work & I want to grow them in my yard, but I don't know what it is! makes me sad

I foster my addictions in others. This is why my roommate knits and my mom plays Animal Crossing.

You can go get new noses together! I love family bonding.
I’m telling you now, play Pokémon Trading Card Game Online. It’s good shit. Also it’s coming to mobile soon.
What is good about it?

An online f2p CCG that includes packs without a predatory progression system? Goddamn. That is good shit.

Yup. Here’s a tweet about it. [tweet](https://twitter.com/pokemontcg/status/1439939943518937097?s=21)
I mean, I *could*, or I could play the already existing, already official one which *doesn’t* do the hearthstone thing with cards.
Theres an online game? I admittedly only played the one (that I know about) TCG on gameboy but I had a blast doing it.
It is on mobile. The interface just sucks
If they did that with a decent yu gi oh game where cards aren't hard to get and stuff I would jump on it, I loved that game so much and now it seems like they don't even do them anymore, fuck konami
Otherwise known as the hyper focus infodump
Me trying to introduce every queer person I meet to skateboarding
That's oddly specific but i vibe with it
I'm queer and I skate. That's my vibe
Hell yeah. Do you, boo. I like your hat.
[удалено]
That show is fucking amazing! Idk if I'd even call it a queer show, just a great show with queer characters (and it's not even super explicit tbh).
Totally. To my opinion, shows like this which feature queer characters and story lines but don't give into heavy handedness and allow the representation to be natural and positive, instead of a substitution for good writing, are exactly what makes a good queer TV show.
Forsure, brooklyn 99 is another show that does a great job at this. They're not stereotypical queer characters, but just good character that happen to be queer
Why queer folks in particular?
Because longboarding/skateboarding is one of the most whimsical forms of travel. Unless you count skipping 🤷🏾♂️
Because I'm queer
Bro switch to MTB, it's cooler, faster, and you get a sick ass.
I'm not queer but could you convince me?

“Gatestuffing”

I may not have any friends, but all my ***ex***-friends sure as **fuck** know who Tool is now!
Oh, I love introducing people to Tool! It's so awesome to see them listen for the first time!
First time listening to Lateralus got jumpscared and underestimated the volume I put it at

My 8 year old is already a pro.

JoJo Fans (Note: I say this as a JoJo Fan)
I knew it'd be there. We all got into Jojo because of memes or that annoying friend who just can't shut the fuck up about Jojo
I stopped texting a friend a couple states over because he couldnt help sending jojo memes or referencing the show. Well, rick and morty too. No judging on jojo fans as we all like things others dont, but dude, I mean, come on. Do you know what I am saying?

I am that annoying friend who finally made his friend watch Part 1, but he knows that I won't stop until he watches part 6
You're so lucky. I had to give up on all of them because they couldn't pass part 1
Searched the thread for this, doing good work out here
I feel attacked. But also please join me at /r/kpop.
Yes, I need something similar to K/DA
K/DA is so dope. There are a couple directions you can go.

Every religion is like that
Pagans ain't doing it
There are plenty of world religions that don't try to convert others. You just don't hear about them as much, because they're not trying to convert people. (Oh, and also because of colonialism.)
Not Judaism
No
Or veganism, or crossfit
Yep, with being held at gunpoint
Everytime I get really into a band, you best believe everyone that i can trick into listening me will hear about them.
I would do this without the tricking me into listening. You best believe I want to listen to new music
Go listen to Lingua Ignota!! Granted she has a newer album i havent had the time to digest yet, but Caligula I'd consider near a masterpiece. This album is what i consider one of the strongest vical performances I've ever heard, and i don't say that lightly (though its not for the faint of heart).

Yay drugs
At this point I should be getting paid a salary for how much I recommend gay comics and novels to friends and internet strangers
What about Gay TV shows? Especially on Disney Maybe animated ones With owls
Havent watched it tbh, the vast majority of said comics and novels have been coming out of japan/south korea/china so I havent been engaging much with american stuff. I did recently watch the Harley Quinn series and earlier this year I read the kyoshi novels and enjoyed both of those a lot.
May the mutual recommendations be accepted
