Totally unrelated, but you should check out 20 em 1 for the Sega Master System!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I have a Master System and haven't even heard of this title before!

If only I was comfortable touching other people, then I could subject them to my inane ramblings EVEN LONGER!.

Then they briefly acknowledge you before returning to whatever uninteresting topic they were already discussing and tighten the circle so that you could not join in even if you wanted to...

You look around the room and everyone is in tight circles, making mostly small talk, with a few people in each circle dominating the conversations. At best, all you can do is stand outside a circle, essentially eavesdropping, but that's creepy.

So you just wander the room admiring the art and architecture, look out the windows, etc., before either finding a way to leave or finding a quiet corner and pulling out your phone.

It's pretty unfriendly not to leave an opening for others to wander in and join the conversation at a party. I've been standing around wondering why I'm there for sure though. Something to keep in mind as you're enthusiastically chatting yourself at some point in the future. 😆

More like the one where there's three panels, a group of people on the right side. Then the middle one, some guy just gives a big thumbs up before returning to their circle while the left person is talking about whatever.

I am fully aware that I am about to clang some cymbals, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

[–] Zizzziirronn@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

We're cymbal folk. The few not the many.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm fully aware of what I can do to stop it.

But then other people wouldn't get to gear the wonderful clanging sound!

And they need to know!

So stop it I shan't.

I don't do great with "normal" conversations. I actually love it when someone brings up some random ass special interest. This allows me to have a clear decision tree A. I know nothing about this, but it sounds interesting, here is an opportunity to learn. B. I know a little bit or maybe even more about this than this person, let's nerd out a bit C. This doesn't sound remotely interesting to me - I don't like talking all that much anyway, but this seals the deal, I'm Noping the hell out of this conversation asap.

So thank you to all you autistic conversationalists for smashing your cymbals!

Yeah tough to find someone who likes anime..

I've learned from Professor Oak about how there's a time and place for everything but not now.

"Do you guys know about Free and Open Source operative systems?"

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Also, have you heard about decentralized and federated social media platforms? Well- "

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

2 hours later "... Which brings me to the importance of self-hosting, and that is..." and you go on for hours totally oblivious, the friend that usually gives you social cues is crying in the corner...

I learned to just keep it to myself.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I used to do that too, but then I learned how to gently build enthusiasm and also when to know the signs of when they're losing interest.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

We need your guidance. NOW!
