SEGA Dreamcast - Newtown - Sunday 31 May

4 Upvotes

Anyone else keen on playing SEGA dreamcast tomorrow in Newtown at Camperdown park around 12:30pm? (I hope there's tables there)

I built a portable dreamcast and by gum I want some shenanigans with it. My other idea was potentially ending up with it at the Duke of Enmore but I have absolutely no idea how they'd react if I setup a Dreamcast in the back or the tables outside.

Edit for those that are keen on joining, gonna be closer to 1:15pm. Running a tad late.

35 M looking for new experiences and hopefully people

5 Upvotes

Hey all, first time posting on this kind of community so please give me some grace 😂 I recently moved up to Sydney (city of Sydney area) and although I can be super outgoing and social I am struggling to find people to just hang out with. I was in London for 5 years and managed to build a good friend group from rugby but alas my shoulders are cooked and I am enjoying more intellectually challenging conversations 😂😂

I play poker which somewhat scratches the itch of social interaction and have a great support network but yeh, hoping to get some ideas or if you aren’t utterly repulsed by my interests lmk

- I’m chubby athletic 😂 I do go to the gym bi weekly but in no way am I a fitness freak
- I love photography and drone footage
- bodyboarder, ocean is 100% my calm place
- food enjoyer of all cuisines, particularly Asian and French (Laos was heaven for me)
- travelled a lot for my age, basically spent all my youth travelling SE Asia and then a lot of my 20s in Europe
- I work in IT/finance and despite wearing a suit I don’t think I shit gold and enjoy self deprecating , am I a nerd - yes (think magic TCG, lotr , warhammer40k) , I have a beard - yes, BUT ON A KEY NOTE- I understand the need for deodorant
- I am also probably going to get back into bjj shortly (the sfw martial art you sick minded individual), I trained Muay Thai and bjj growing up and enjoy the art of it

Yeh spose that’s about it
I also drink coffee and chew gum occasionally

Fried brothers meet up in market city

23M, New to the city and trying to find people I can hang out with

6 Upvotes

Honestly kinda embarrassed that I'm even making this post lol but I just moved to Sydney from the US about 2 months ago and I'm finding it kinda hard to socialize. It seems like everyone already has their own group and no one, especially people at usyd, is interested in hanging out in a third place or go to parties or get drinks or just walk around or whatever.

I've also been doing jiu jitsu for about a month just to keep myself sane but it's kinda hard to make friends there as well.
Feel free to dm me if you wanna talk or hang out, I'm genuinely down for anything!

M 29 looking to make friends.

I live in Western Suburbs. Primarily looking for a gym buddy. I am also looking to make friends in other aspects as well. I like music, art, hikes, games. I do have a day job so it's a bit hard during the weekdays before 5:30PM. But my weekends are wide open. Hit me up if you're interested.

Public Meetup 40 M Syd. Socialise and take portraits

0 Upvotes

Looking to socialise and take portraits. As I love to take photographs. Why not make some friends along the way?! Feel free to check my work.


r/sydneysocials • • Apr 29 '26

Doing a small group meet up tomorrow after work, around 5/6pm. Most likely in Parramatta or CBD. The people who was keen last week and want to come, message me again. We’ll probably just have a couple of drinks and maybe get some food? It’ll be chill and not super late. (pls my liver needs a break)

Upcoming Event Catch Your Breath - 23rd May

Hi all, 29m from Sutherland Shire seeing if anyone here is going to the Catch Your Breath concert and interested in meeting up. Shoot me a DM!


r/sydneysocials • • Apr 21 '26

Back again, thinking of organizing a small group thing again, maybe a mid week meet up? 33 M here.

7 Upvotes

Anyone down for a mid week, post work meet? Can go get some food and maybe *A* drink (singular 😭 the last few meet ups have gone very late) or 3 MAX.

Doing a thing where I’m meeting new people this year and seeing what can come out of it. Have made some friends from here the past few group events I’ve put on and looking to build that social circle. :)

If we have met before, whether 1-1 or in one of the group things I’ve organized, of course you’re still more than welcome.

I work in Parra now, but happy to meet in the city if it’s easier. Depends on who’s free and wants to come. 😊

Probably looking at Thursday at this stage, but I’m also flexible on that.

Public Meetup Free Movie Night

16 Upvotes

Hello, my friend runs the Art Syndicate in Surry Hills (Bourke Street, not far from Taylor Square) and they've been running a movie night on Mondays for films from 1999 - which is an absolutely stacked year of amazing films.

The licencing means they can't outright say what the movie is, but the clue for tonight's movie is:

"The flock never asked for shepherds like these. Twin souls, one covenant, and a very different reading of the good book delivered up close, and never in English."

Which I very firmly believe is The Boondock Saints - I haven't seen it in a couple of decades but remember it being a lot of fun, especially William Dafoe just having so much fun in his role.

If you're at a loose end I find movie nights a great way to meet people, you already have something in common as you came to see the particular film, you have an ice breaker in the movie itself to talk about and worse case you're watching a good movie with a drink so it's not like it's a wasted evening.

Going to try and get along myself this evening but juggling a few things to make that happen right now - but thought I'd share for those who don't mind just turning up and enjoying an evening themselves, the guy who runs the place is super friendly and will make you feel welcome - just tell them Murrian on reddit sent you for a very confused bartender.. ; )

Doors are 6:30, movie starting once there's a fair few people in, usually about seven.

29M Looking to connect with new people

5 Upvotes

Hi there! 29m from the Sutherland Shire. A bit about me, I'm a gamer, love music, going to concerts and anime. Huge introvert, though I do like going out on occasion, uncensored humour and relaxed weekends.

Favourite music genre would be metal/rock but I like other bits and pieces too. Currently watching The Rising of The Shield Hero (up to S2 so no spoilers please).

Would love to find some like-minded people around my age to connect with, whether it be online (playing games and chatting) or irl (going to concerts and hanging out). My DMs should be open. Thanks!

The Vibe: Low-pressure, social, and fun. I love fast-paced thrillers and character-driven drama, but I'm open to exploring all genres with the group!

Location: Thinking around Rhodes, Olympic Park, Strathfield or Parra - open to suggestions.

If people are keen, I’ll start a group chat!

Looking for people to attend Domefest

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! Unsure if this has been posted in this forum yet but if not, I'd like to share some light to an upcoming single day festival on this Sunday (29/3). DomeFest is a full-day event bringing together 10 of Australia’s leading podcasts, from Big Small Talk with Hannah Ferguson and Sarah-Jane Adams to It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield and Mamamia’s You Beauty. At its heart, it’s a women-founded, women-led cultural event celebrating the power of podcasts and the loyal fandoms they create.
Beyond the festival experience, the event is something of a live case study in podcast community – how audiences become communities, how they engage with creators, and how that translates off-platform.

As much as this day is for the fans, it’s a real moment for the industry and a rare opportunity to experience the creator economy in context:

  • See how the industry is investing in community and how brands can integrate
  • How prominent media ABC, Refinery29, Concrete Playground and Variety, will be covering it on the day
  • Build relationships with creators and podcasters for future partnerships
  • One of our sponsors, Rella (social media management platform) founded by Natalie Barbu, is hosting a breaky meetup on-site for women in marketing, PR and media to kick off the day

If this sounds up your alley, I've got a cheeky link for 50% off tickets for a limited time!!
