When Gamers hear about Dominion down by Quidi Vidi

#quidividi #Quidivididominion #dominion
Meme: picture of the grocery store Dominion down by Quidi Vidi lake, and in front is a giant copy of the boardgame Dominion, with the Sandbox Gaming logo. Caption is "when gamers hear about Dominion down by Quidi Vidi". There's an alt art version I made with 4 of our volunteers making reaction faces from past events, and I made them transparent and floated them in the sky, but one of the other volunteers suggested I avoid the sky ghosts so I went with the regular version lmao. This was made using bad photo editing and not AI, which has been the trend for most businesses, but I'm excellent at making terrible memes. I don't want an approximation of a meme made by AI, I want a true terrible meme made by a real Gamer, and I hope you've enjoyed this little extra behind the scenes look into memes. Thank you for reading the alt text Gamers!

Meme with character from NES game Earthbound named Mr. Saturn. He is just a head with feet, 4 cat-like whiskers, has a large nose, and a single hair with a small red bow on it. There is a question. How does Mr Saturn wear a Santa hat? There are two options. Option A(👍) he wears a tiny hat only on top of the single hair. Option B (❤️) he hears a large hat that covers his eyes and rests on his large nose.

Gamers, our volunteers had a lovely social night Sunday. Potluck, games, puzzles, and friendship! It was a good night. We host game events, but don't always take the time to play ourselves. We hope to change this in the new year!

⭐ What boardgames would you bring to play with your fellow gamers?

Coming up next month tune in every Saturday from 6pm-9pm for our spooky Stream of 1996 classic horror game HARVESTER!

Image is of the cover art for the game Harvester. A shadowy cloaked figure holds a sythe in front of DNAs Diner Photo is a screener capture of Harvester. A man in plaid stands in front of another man in a cloak that's blocking the door in what appears to be a dungeon. Cloaked guys dialogue says "only initiates may enter the Hall of the border of..." And the original name is replaced with "Sandbox Gaming"

The gaming carnival is appealing to the Gen Z's and other youths ✌️😎
Picture is of Taylor Swift and her fiance getting engaged and the captions say "the sandbox gaming game Carnival on Sept 27th" on the dude, and "awesome gamers with rizz" on T-Swift Honestly I think I'm nailing these memes ✌️😎

When your birth year is in the 1900s and you gotta promote the carnival to the youths
Pic is a scene from 1987 film Say Anything. A young John Cusack holds up a comically large copy of the 2001 GameCube Game super smash Bros melee. Text reads "pov Trying to relate to the youths... With a hit new Mario game"

We've been quiet the last few weeks. Our volunteers are taking a well deserved break from planning gaming activities in the metro region, but given the seemingly endless alerts, the tragic loss of property, and new fires starting almost every day all over NL, we wanted to make a post. (1/3)

Please gamers, stay safe out there 🧡💙 Photo by one of our volunteers (Sara) Image: A barely visible water bomber going over a heavily smoke filled treeline in Galway fighting the Paddy's Pond fire. The words "Stay Safe Gamers 🧡💙" is in the centre.
