This sort of thing only really works for people who don't move around much...

And for people who have a Facebook account. I would have liked to represent my city, but alas.

Facebook accounts are free. And they're actually pretty handy sometimes.

My Facebook exists purely so that my girlfriend can list me as "in a relationship with ---"
Otherwise I prefer to avoid social media.

Edit:

You don't need a facebook to post on that.

This. I'm on.
Also, I am breaking the chronology of the forums here. I really didn't feel like replying just to say "This"

Ah, just posted but don't do facebook. Sorry, all the excitement of knowing there was at least 1 DF player in london besides me and all. Will this be a problem?

Any way to re-skin the pins as omega symbols?

[Calidovi]

Eh, if only there were a Facebook-less way.

Sorry, I read the first few posts and assumed otherwise.

I just added mine.  Not alot of active DF players near where I live.

...Good.

Personally, I have a thing for obscure games.

Games with few, dedicated players.  That's why I'll always [citation_needed] love DF. (DF is popular as "that incomprehensible game" whenever I ask people.)

I played Minecraft (aptly nicknamed cringecraft by me.) back in late alpha. Back when it had like less than 2 million players.  And now I want to get rid of all evidence that I ever played the game because of its incredible popularity, ruthless merchandisation, zerg like attempts at expansion (Instead of improving the game, let's bring it onto 47 different platforms!) and learning of shit like "Meeting of the mines."  There's just nothing special about being a player of the game.

I think Markus feels the same way about his game too...

your usage of the word cringe is simultaneously annoying (since it's pretty obviously the "i hate this but don't want to look like an asshole" meaning) and ironic (since that whole tirade is cringey by the less horrible definition, since it reminds me of when I was pretentious and looked down on people for stupid reasons)

...wow where did that come from

[Alfrodo]

I went on a tangent.

It's just about how I like to feel special playing a game. and provides and example of a game losing its feeling of special because everyone started playing it.  And hints at my fear of Dwarf Fortress becoming such.

And yeah, it's pretty pretentious, because I'm a bigot.

I don't really hate the game, I loved it. But I just don't feel special playing it.

the "where did that come from" thing was actually about my post, heh

I, honestly, left Minecraft because of it's fanbase and how I didn't want to associate with some of those folk. Not only do I not like the game anymore, but I also feel like I'm one of these cringeworthy souls.

Dwarf Fortress players near me seem to have this superior air about them due to the fact that they play 'the hardest game on earth' and constantly utter references and in-jokes. That's on the opposite scale of Mincraft's dilemma but follows the same principle.

I'd have to say one thing: LoL is aptly named.
