I'm never on here anymore, but rest assured: #gothcon at #defcon33 is very much alive and well! Main party is Saturday night in lvcc, and keep an eye on @dcgothcon for shenanigans prior
@dcgothcon Prepping music crates and light shows for 3 upcoming DJ gigs, working on a brand new song with each band I'm in plus a collaboration with another band, and teaching myself rust.
Alright, let’s start a new weekly thing:
Whatcha Working On Wednesdays!
We would love to see your projects, art, music you are making, hell, we’ll take screenshots from games you are playing if you consider that something you are working through. Let’s see whatcha working on!
@K4rm4ness@dcgothcon Man, I was sorely tempted to pick up one of those BigFuckingOOT badges, but caution prevailed as I couldn't conceive of a method to safely pack it along with everything else that needed to go in my not-checked bag to fly home :(
I finally made it home from #defcon32. Awesome time and made some awesome friends. As far as #badgelife is concerned, here is most of my haul. More to follow in the coming weeks. Phenomenal work from the makers!!
@syntax976@clevrcat@dcgothcon@dotornot2 We have a saying back home in my local goth community: the zone takes care of it's own :) always a blast having ya'll onboard for @dcgothcon, and glad we were able to make con more enjoyable for ya
8/ @clevrcat@psych0sys and the rest of the @dcgothcon crew thank you for reminding me what a goth community can be! I am proud to be a part of it! @dotornot2 thank you for being rad and making me smile even when i am feeling like poo!
Thank You, a thread 🧵
1/ This @defcon almost didn't happen for me. But the major outpouring of support has renewed not only my sense of belonging in this community but also trust in the people in this community! I want to help the hacker community grow and thrive!
I’ve never reserved a room in the DEFCON block and now I definitely never will. @defcon@ResortsWorldLV, I will never rent a room at your hotel. Not when I’m there annually for DEFCON, sales kickoff, or World Series of Poker. Aria/Cosmo/Fontainebleu will continue to get my 💵.
Not a huge surprise, but I've heard multiple reports of folks' #defcon badges in checked bags being confiscated by TSA because of the battery. Folks traveling home, make sure you carry them and don't check them
I can't put into words how absolutely amazing the @dcgothcon party last night at #defcon32, so I will just leave it at that :) You folks are why we've done this for the past 7 years, and we will absolutely be back next year to do it again!
Thank you everyone!! 2024 was amazing. Thank you for your energy, dancing, and respect for the space.
We can’t wait for next time.
Thank your DJs!
@psych0sys@syntax976@djdead & scythe. And our visual artist @LunaSylumDancer
We will rep sticker and badge artists tomorrow!
Just wanted to share some photos of this year's GothCon badge! Not required to go to the party, just a fun #badgelife#defcon project. If you want to get one, follow @dcgothcon to find drops at or around DEF CON & its hotels! (And bring $40.)
Finally able to post about my involvement with the awesome @defcon badge this year, made with @GBStudioDev! Helped the team with some development support, and built a few custom plugins for the hardware. Such a talented team, well done everyone! marwilliams.art/blogs/projects…
