    I’m a relatively new mod. Just before the pandemic ata ako na-appoint. I didn’t know there were meetups then and doubt I would have joined, lol.

    Among the redditors, I probably only met one (bleedthrough) back in 2017. Parang kambal ko lang, similar sense of humor and tastes. I think si cheese_sticks na-meet ko by accident when I was still active in Golden Retriever gatherings.

      Yeah, sina bleedthrough, coffee, ramen, etc., and other active users na hindi na mods like me. Napakanta pa namin one time si bleedthrough ng Taylor Swift song sa isang roof deck bar where we used to meet. 2015, I think.

      Sa official meetups naman, surprisingly ang daming pumupunta. Generally friendly atmosphere naman and it’s where I got mixed in with the board game crowd. There were a lot of board game nights before the pandemic.

      Good times.

      Also, Golden Retriever gatherings??

        Regular meetups between GR owners. Was active there from 2014-16. Stopped going kasi medyo malayo mga locations, usually sa SMX or Greenfields District. It doesn’t help na medyo asshole yung isa sa main founders and would yell at members who don’t pose properly during group photos, lol. She also exudes this rich bitch Forbes lady vibes.

        The other members were good though, so baka na-meet ko si cheese_sticks (who’s like a staple in GR circles going back to PEX days) without knowing.
