Idle late night thought: even as a millennial forged in the crucible of the old Internet, I worry about being a disappointment to the friends I've made who I will eventually meet IRL once the pandemic is over. Are bonds forged in forced isolation ones that will last?

@RidiculousHat Thanks for the kind words, and it's good to know that Discord and Zoom experiences translate much like BBS and WoW do. As much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, I'm definitely not as polished a package offline. No green screens, full lights, and flattering camera angles IRL ;)

@olandgren if humans interacted for polish and not for humanity, we'd be a very different society. but i'd bet you could find a long line of people willing to wait for a patented Owen Hug (from what i've heard) and a beer

@RidiculousHat @olandgren Can confirm, Owen Hugs, especially when beer is involved and they're particularly forceful, are the best.
