Randomly musing here, I think I'm one of the few people who has posted my full body/face here (not like that, it was a cool clip of my band playing in an underground waterway). I've met a few Hexbears IRL and hang out from time to time, and I'm always curious as to what other users actually look like.
Absolutely not in a horny way, to be clear, just out of curiosity.
Oh god don't get me fucking started. We have some good bands, but as a performer, it's super incestuous and I fucking hate it. I quite giving a shit about scenes by the time I was 21 (over a decade ago). Now I just play shows for myself.
I actually got myself into a spot of trouble not too long ago for expressing this opinion about an Illinois doom fest that some people I know are booking.
Yup, sounds like most scenes. I think my favorite scene was the Vacaville/North Berkeley scene in like 2012-2014. Just alot of poor older highschool and community college music kids fucking around with shoegaze and indie pop, no real pretentions involved cause all the pretentious kids played at the Gilman. Was a cool scene to play in, no idea what happened after I moved.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for Chicago though, maybe make a trip there in a year or two. Try not to get yourself kicked out of the scene by then lol.
I've seen more. ALso, while I do like an Orange, I prefer Matamp (they used to be the ones who built the original Oranges. They're still their own thing now, still in business, but much smaller).
Look up the now defunct band Beast in the Field. I can't find it now, but there used to be a picture of their guitarist standing outside with about....20 cabs I'd guess? Never counted.
I think because part of our founding was rooted in the BLM protest resurgence in 2020, there was a fairly big shift of not posting pictures of oneself for opsec reasons. That said, I remember some naked pics on one of the lifeboat discords.
I think I got banned on one of them. Thankfully the mods were kind enough to let me create an account here with the same username, and have a second chance or something.
I've posted my motorcycle, where you can juuuuust make me out as a blurry set of pixels in the reflection on my helmet visor. I've also posted video of my dog where you can hear my voice/see my arm petting her.
I'm certain I'm far too uninteresting to attract a doxxer, but it's still something I'm a bit paranoid about at times. But anyway I'm a large coastal adult son.
That's a badass looking bike! Much cooler than like 90% of Harleys I've seen. If I was to ride, I'd look into an Indian brand bike. They look kinda like yours!
My dad's a Harley guy, keeps telling me to get one - but idk I really love the "standard" look and I'm not a fan of the bobtail or chopper or anything like that (though I did raise my bars which did wonders for my comfort on long rides).
Indians are cool, I would also look at Triumphs and Royal Enfields for the classic Euro/American bike look, but basically every brand has a "modern classic" line right now since that became trendy about ten years ago. I would avoid getting an actual classic until you're really experienced at maintenance, lmao.
Any issues with getting parts since the SMO began? I've wanted an ural for a while now (especially since I'm in a winter location and would keep riding in the winter but was sketchy on my normal bike) but that's something I've been curious about
A few issues for large parts, less so for small ones. There are a couple fasteners on my bike that were sold out on the Ural store but I found the exact same part on the Home Depot website, lmao. Now that they're producing in Kazakhstan I expect what issues exist (ie getting replacement exhausts and gearboxes) to smooth out by next year.
That plus the English-speaking Ural community's thirty years of slightly sketchy repair advice means I've never been frustrated for lack of parts.
Long dark haired tall and skinny white dude, I get called "Jesus" by people in public as a joke sometimes. Which is very ironic as I'm an atheist. I live in a more remote area of South Africa, so I guess it's uncommon to see people that look like that outside of the big cities.

Yee same, for the stated reason. I think the post is in limbo now until the old stuff gets restored.

I'm a large Midwestern adult son. :large-adult-son:
Curiosity satisfied.
I am too! High five! Except I have a green mohawk and dress punky/crusty and oh hell I'll just link you to my band if you want.
I'm too much of a coward to die my hair...
:rat-salute: braver than the troops
I didn't start until I was like 30, so...:vivian-shrug:
But thanks! :rat-salute-2:
What kind of music does your band play?
Edit: on second thought you can just shoot me the link if you want
Fuck it, mod face reveal:

Sick as hell dude :che-poggers:
:meow-hug:
yoo baller as fuck, dope band name too
Thanks for listening!
Damn that's some good doom. How is the Chicago doom scene anyways? The San Jose one kinda sucked by the time I was there, too techified.

Yeah, definitely come on up here! THere's a good number of Hexbears here!
That scene sounds awesome. Glad you got to experience that!
Carcosa? @CARCOSA
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
I think we've talked about the name once before, a long time ago.
Anyway I know that's not actually you because you are a corgi with a laptop, not a human person who plays instruments
Here's a real picture of you :caught-in-4che:
I'VE BEEN FOUND OUT!
SUPER RUN AWAY!

Thanks! I just sent someone a more clear pic, but I'm not gonna post it out in the open here, it was through DMs.
Opinions on the Wall of Amps?

:edgeworth-shrug:
Back when I originally posted the clip, admins and other elder mods told me to go ahead if I felt comfortable, and I am fortunate to say I do.
Idk if it's a rule, but there was a lot of post deleting.
Ah, I remember those lifeboat discord times too.

im a pre-transition waifish twink that's been thirst trapping fedi queers into becoming communists recently.
since a few hexbear users follow my lewd posting account, i'm ashamed to say that ive broken my volcel oath and users of this site have seen me naked
You really are horny on main.

Oh shit you ride? Nice!
I've been doing it about eight months now, I love it! I've got a Ural Solo

Part of me wants a indian or a triumph. I like the leatherbear connotations

Imagine a bald Matt Walsh. That's me.
Also, if you pick through my history, you'll find several pictures of my adorable dog.
I look bald, chubby and ordinary
HEY I THINK I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE!
Picture the head of Frankie Boyle on the body of Ryan Reynolds.
Nice!
This is how I look

I could dm you a picture but I prefer not to have my visage available for everyone to see
Hit me up if you want :shrug-outta-hecks:
