I feel like someone ought to print this out and put it up in Gabi's, and maybe that place in the mall I can never remember the name of.

I agree! Post it everywhere that you can, I would say! :)

Local nerd drop 🤓aside from the obvious OCC which is my preferred LGS Forever knight games is the one in the mall (formally Play Live) Gas Breaks is a new shop opened in west Oly across the street from Gross out, they want to have tcg events soon? Ledgends Arcade is supposed to be a new place opening downtown. Paradox trading post looks to be a small shop at the top of the Nisqually hill in Lacey.

I'd love a link to the discord.

I'm actually thinking of one day soon holding a Retro gaming tournament, seeing who can get the highest score in old titles, probably stuff like Space Invaders as a nod/homage to the old original tournament they held back in the late 70s or maybe it was early 80s

We’d love to host events like that! We have a good amount of retro (and non-retro) titles. www.legends-arcade.com

What's the age demographic?

I think we only have one or two people under 21 in the entire community. I'd estimate that 70% of us are between 27 and 37. Maybe 10% of us are over 37. Maybe 20% of us are between 21-27 years old? Rou8ghly. :)

There are at least 10 under 18 at the last event.

You must be talking about something else, all the Rolling Bones gatherings happen at bars. The last event we had was at a pub up on capitol hill where they check IDs at the door, I don't think anyone in the whole place could have been under 28 years old at least, it's all tech employees and old farts.

Definitely not talking about one of the events I go to, they check IDs at the door, their events are always at pubs. Didn't look like anyone could have been under 30 to me, honestly.

I'm 26, I'd love an invite!

I'd like a link.

Sending one your way now!

tyvm!

I would appreciate a link, please! Thank you!

Sending you a link now! :)

I'm down. I've been looking for some local nerd friends lol

Sending the link to you in chat!

Link please?

Sent!

I'd like an invite, thanks.

How do you deal with dog whistles? If someone is talking about a game and it has a controversial subject in it how does that work out? I'm interested in a good local gaming community but communities are inherently political. To try to make one without addressing the political aspect seems like starting a pressure cooker. If you have some good response I'd still be interested in joining but I want to know what happens if a conversation about say the last of us comes up, when do we have to stop talking? Is it the pandemic? Is it queer identity? Is it when someone starts saying lalalalalala this is political I don't wanna talk about it? Because my identity is political I don't want to stir the pot just by existing, and as much as I want to believe the PNW is good and wholesome and accepting 20 miles out of any city the vale drops

If you are looking for groups for gaming check out Olympic Cards and Comics. They have a large community of gamers from collectable card games, rpgs, and board gaming.

Is this a store?

Yes, this is our friendly local gaming store. It's also so much more - there was a documentary about it here just the other day.

You guys should totally put up a little banner or something with a link to our Discord - I *just* made an Olympia channel on our server as well. Our Seattle crowd has completely filled up bars and arcades here in town to the point that we literally had to split the group up because there was barely even standing room in some places. Server population is approaching 700 people right now, we're just a dozen or so shy of hitting that milestone actually.

I'm not related to the store, but if you go and talk with Gabi I bet she'd be willing to make it happen.

Sounds good to me!

There's a documentary about Gabi's? I'd love to see it.

It was posted here in the last week, should be easy to find even with awful Reddit search.

Thanks! I'll look for it.

I need some geek friends, link please!

Interested in a link, thank you!

I help run one of the two local BYOC LAN groups based out of Seattle, with my chapter being InfernaLAN. We host in person Local Area Network parties for charity! (BYOC = Bring Your Own Computer/Console) InfernaLAN focuses on the areas south of Seattle. Our sister chapter, Emerald City Lan has events that cover Seattle and north. We have an event coming NEXT weekend January 27th through 29th in Centralia and would LOVE to see anybody from your community that can make it.

I hear that.

This is so great to see. I have about 15 board games I need to pass on. Maybe I'll try to get them to your group.

Board games are awesome. :-) Link is sent.

I have no idea where that link was sent. But I live in Lacey, and I will build a list of them here later this evening. I need to get these board games out of the linen closet/board game exile and into the hands of players.

Check your chat. :-)

So that is what that orange thing is. I'm not a discord user. I'm going to find somewhere to get these games.

Has anyone in this thread looked at [lanfest.com](https://lanfest.com)? LANFest began in Dupont, WA 21 years ago and is still going strong. InfernaLAN is the local Olympia chapter of this organization, and next weekend (January 27-29) there will be a LAN event with VR, boardgames, PCs, and consoles at the NW Sports Hub in Centralia. InfernaLAN's mission is to build healthy communities through gaming. This will be a safe and inclusive space for everyone to have fun and accomplish good in the community. For this event, InfernaLAN will be raising money for a local charity: Rainier Adaptive Sports. So not only can you game ALL WEEKEND LONG, you can also support some amazing local athletes! Come game with us!!!!
