49:55after watching the watermelon smashing vid, I get what Lia means when she says you're moe af irl
49:56You have a Brienne of Tarth build
49:59been lurking here for 3 years
50:00lurk, read the room, shut up and listen
50:02Dont be a know it all!
50:05People will care more about an opinion if they care about the character behind it
50:12let the group adopt you, dont try to push yourself in
50:12Lurk until you can't lurk no more, then LURK SOME MORE
50:15Hobby communities can be very close knit it's best to listen quietly. I got into growiing Carnivoropus plants 4 years ago now I'm going to Name my first Hybrid after you! Though it will take a while
50:16A few of my old friends an I do amateur endurance racing (94 NA Miata). I think real car folks (those who wrench and race cars) are just happy there are others that enjoy and share our hobby.

50:26i mean you can be openly active, but make it clear that you're there to *learn*
50:26i disagree with that. some people just have a chip on their shoulder
50:29Nah, there is definitely toxic gatekeeping
50:30Don’t lurk foids down alleys though. Learned that one the hard way
50:36yeah but it's more fun when people are annoying
50:38Yes, completely agree
50:38sometimes you get a "that guy"
50:39there are a lot of annoying people lol
50:40Gotta keep the weirdo's out
50:44gatekeeping is super necessary
50:44Generally speaking anyone who complains about gatekeeping deserves to be gatekept
50:46video games are only starting to recover
