I just wanna play an in-person campaign of DnD with like... 4 or 5 other people, and a good DM.

That's all the adventure I need. But no friends and a strange work schedule tell me I won't get it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I would like to have a girlfriend and maybe a family.

Trust me is something that is not going to happen to me. Might as well put it as a dream

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

imagine how you would better yourself if you were in a loving nurturing relationship. then start bettering yourself that way now, and your efforts will start to be noticed. people on the upswing are pursued.

But how do you know? You should recognise that your view of the world is based on your internal beliefs and not factual information. Defeatism isn't going to get you there.

Sailing around the world on a sailboat.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would have been odd if you sailed around the world in a bus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Otoh, it would have qualified as a proper crazy adventure.

This isn't the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.

... I'm really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren't I?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

What's a furry convention?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Basically, "furries" are animal people like in Disney's Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There's some sfw art at [email protected] if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P

Personally, I've seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I've felt lacking in my life.

... Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it's who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.

Wait, for real?

On the chance that you're serious, this should tell you way more than you'd ever want to know about furries. (And if you aren't sated by the time you're finished reading that article, there's a link to the page "Furry Convention" in the first paragraph.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I knew it had to do with animals, but didn't realize the fursona or expensive costumes. Thanks for the explanation. Seems a little odd, but harmless.

Don't post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don't post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don't post...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aF2GxWi7Ag

Dammit, I posted it.

(I'm sorry SavvyWolf... For everyone here, that documentary doesn't paint an entirely representative picture of the furry community as a whole.)

Sounds like am amazing goal. People on the internet can hate on furries all they want but connecting to like-minded people in the real world is really nice. I hope you get there.

I would like to try hang gliding but also don't want to admit this is likely a terrible idea!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What about something safer like base jumping?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The squirrel suit will save me!! :D

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)
  • Travel around my country in a camper van
  • go parachute jumping
  • go wingsuit flying
  • hang gliding
  • learn to sail a small boat
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

At least the last point is something you can do relatively cheap at most larger lakes or coastal cities in a weekend course. Sailing isn't that hard.

That’s so crazy that it may be your last adventure….might be worth it though. 🤤

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Been there done that. What I want is to walk the Santiago Compostela.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I've been watching a lot of shiey on youtube and it makes me want to train hop. I went wandering for a few years when I was younger and I miss it sometimes, I hitch hiked all over, but never train hopped and now I'm a bit too tied down I probably won't get the opportunity.

Not a regret exactly, but I do miss the freedom of living out of a bag and just waking up and traveling anywhere you want on a whim with no set dates or requirements other than making sure you have food and water.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I want to drive across Europe, Australia, and the Americas (not all in a row).

It would be nice to do Africa and all of Eurasia, but some shit would need to get fixed first.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm Australian and I want to drive across my country. But with a twist.

I want to grab my best friends, all fly to Perth (Far western Australia) on a friday. We each have $5000 and the weekend to buy a car and prep it for the 3900kms back to sydney.

Do our own stupid little top gear adventure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Yea, but you need a 4th guy in the backup car when the dumb shit you do breaks one. And he can carry the tools to fix most things along the way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Mmmyesss...

Sometimes, your genius is almost frightening.

I want to go to a Taco Bell in every country that it's has them. I know Japan, India, New Zealand, and I believe the Dominican Republic have taco bells.

I like taco bell, and traveling. I would enjoy myself. They probably have unique menu items.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Spain has taco bell too, i have not tried taco bell ever though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

India has Taco Bell, been in one yesterday! It tastes quite differently.

Crazy adventures? A happy, lasting, trustful relationship.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

We'll all make it one day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wish I knew. I'm not motivated enough about life to fantasize.

"Play with it while you have hands!"

What I'm trying to say, is: just do it, anything you feel like. Things only get more complicated later in life.

I want to fall in love one last time before I die. (Terminal cancer, age 41)

All that other shit is meaningless

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I want to go to a ball in Vienna.
