DC/MD/VA Winter 2020 Shmupmeet - CANCELLED

Post by StarCreator »

I'm thinking it's a good time to get together for another meet. Tentatively looking at March 21 or 28. I'll pull Aka & Blue out of the arcade for whichever weekend we choose. There's also a couple of new titles on PS4/Switch/Steam we can try out.

Don't forget the DC controller and the OG XBox cables.

They're all in the same box, ready to go. Jack's house this time right? See you all on the 28th!

If anyone has concerns about having this meetup amid the COVID-19 outbreak, please let me know. I'm currently weighing whether we need to postpone or if we should continue.

If anyone is more comfortable pushing the event back a couple of weeks, I don't see there being any argument.

Yo, not really my jam but I'm in the DMV Area.

I strongly suggest y'all cancel. This area's been horribly undertested (like most of the US) and shit is expected to get seriously bad at the end of the month. Don't want to spook anyone, but saw this thread in passing and thought I would weigh in as a neighbor.

I'm fine either way, just need to know beforehand.

Given the way things are unfolding I think cancelling this meet is for the best. Stay safe everyone!

It should come as no surprise, but Magfest (in January) has been cancelled.

Well, the in-person version (aka, the one we care about) has been canceled for this year. Candy cabs and boozing don't work as well in VR as it done in the real. I'll just have to party at home that weekend and drink enough til I see crowds of ppl in a vain attempt to re-create the feels.
