9:59 and counting.
I have a wonderful collection of spirits and a ton of strange instruments at home. So well have a drink and then we jam a bit.
I also might have some acid laying around if you are down for some weirder tunes.
ancient spirits or liquid spirits?
Since last month only liquid…
Depends, probably I’m going to pretend to not be home and not answer my phone.
But if you’re someone I like, I might force you to learn the rules to French Tarot and play that. Or another trick taking game like hearts or spades. Assuming my brother is also home and we have a 3rd player.
There’s also always music, movies, tv shows, et cetera.
We could crochet.
If you’re gay we could probably have sex. I’m normally down to clown.
We could play fetch with the dogs.
If all else fails you can play games on the Xbox while I read.
But really, if you’re just showing the hell up with 10 minutes of warning you need to be the one with a plan here. Otherwise I’m probably going to just keep doing what I normally do and you can join in if you want.
I didn’t realise it was “French” tarot, we just call it tarot, lol. That said it was more a game my parents would play, I don’t really know the rules myself.
In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) “tarot” generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. “French Tarot” is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol
It’s honestly become my favorite card game, though I’ve really only just started getting into it.
Uuuuh that french tarot game seems right up my alley. Nice. Ill be at your place in ten.
It’s so worth getting into it you’ve got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn’t so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that
Looked at the rules and will try. Thanks for the half point change. Might help.
If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It’s pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don’t have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.
Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don’t have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.
Oh yeah i really want that.
well im currently naked.
Get in loser, I’m teaching you to selfhost
So basically, this…?
I kind of did this to a friend of mine. We both got some 18 year old laptops that still run on x86 and we wanted to install Linux on them (arch specifically). We met at my place, and I started with trying to get it work. He meanwhile realised he needed something so I gave him my key and hopped into a skirt while he was away. When he returned I just turned ti him, made a “gun” with my fingers and said “I lied to you, I dont have Netflix. Take of your shoes, we are installing 32 bit Arch”. Funniest shit of my life.
May I visit you?
I’ll pick up some cherry coke and red vines. Show me your mgmtConfig code.
Honestly. I’d be down for this kind of evening.
I’m pretending to not be at home.
amateur, I’m just not home
wow youre good at pretending. you almost had me, but i can hear you gigglin under the window.
Thats not me, thats my pet alligator
stop calling your little iguana an alligator.
If Greg say he wants to be an alligator, all I can do is support him
I’m sick, so we’re watcbing Hollow Knight streams.
I just woke up so i hope you have your phone and preferred method of using Lemmy
my preferred method of using lemmy is showing up to peoples houses.
that’s not enough warning time and I didn’t get the message, so you’ll be entertaining yourself watching the dogs in the window as I ignore the doorbell
Ask you to help carry my old stove out to the curb and see if you want to troubleshooot some wiring
What happened? Is it the wiring in the wall, I assume not the stove because you didn’t say to troubleshoot the wiring before the curb
This is my kind of afternoon
Heyyy! Dharma Curious! Long time no interaction! I can’t remember what comm we interacted in, what we said, whether it was before I moved instance to .world, or why I like you, but I do, and it’s good to see your name on my screen again. Hope you’re doing good.
(Me too, by the way.)
Honestly, same! I recognize your name, but I don’t remember the interaction! Lol. I have positive association with it, though!
I’m still fairly active, I’ve just switched to slrpnk as my server. I tend to only use this one when slrpnk is down (as it appears to be today)
How have you been?
Honestly pretty good. Family’s good, work is good. Can’t complain really. Although I’m British, so the phrase “mustn’t grumble” is to be used with a degree of resentment. Wait - I’ve got it - of course! The weather! It’s been pretty rubbish this summer. Too hot, too cold, too dry, now too wet. That’s better.
When all else fails the weather can always be blamed. Glorious little excuse for some bellyaching. Haha.
Glad to know things are otherwise good! I’m doing mostly okay. Lot of big life things happening recently, and I’m reeling a bit, so just trying to figure things out.
Hang in there. All the best for getting all good with everything.
Swapping gas stove for induction. It was a bit delayed because they screwed up capping the gas line, so new install on new circuit. I plugged it in and nothing happened.
It could be as simple as the breaker is off or there’s some sort of power button on the new stove. I got as far as plugging it in and nothing lit up, then already ran out of time. If it’s something that simple, we get to the beer sooner
I’ll bring a couple volt meters and a couple gallons of mead… Kroger had a stupid sale on honey so I had them drop ship 15lbs to my house and didn’t know what to do with it.
12oz bottles are 4.99, 24oz bottles are $2.32… so I just said ship 10… And they delivered the next day for $.95 cents. Can’t say I’ve ever had something delivered and saved money before
Excellent!
I will leave you in suspense on if I will open the door.
I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck. If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.
If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.
If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!
Welcome to my ADHD life!
marry me
Exact same answer, except no hammocks, candles, soap or PS5 but I might have some weed.
You gotta get hammocks. They are the best thinking, introspecting, and problem solving mediums.
Are you me?
Except I hate coffee. But am great at brewing/shots by smell. And my partner loves it, so I’m turning our espresso machine into a Gaggimate.
Damn! You are doing a Gaggiamate mod without liking coffee? Crazy
Yup! Was so happy when a FOSS Gagguino alternative popped up. Gotta finish building the printer and then on to that.
Whaaaaaat this is what keeps me addicted to Lemmy. This looks like a fun project.
Found a sweet HackaDay about it if anybody’s interested :)
https://hackaday.com/2022/11/20/homebrew-espresso-maker-modding-with-gaggiuino/
I would not recommend the Gaggiuno. It is now closed source. Instead, I would recommend the Gaggimate, which is open source.
Oh wow thanks for the heads up!
It’s always such a bummer to see open source codebases close off. :(
I’ll definitely keep an eye on Gaggimate!
Agreed, but it’s also great that an option opened up. Gaggiuno was never FOSS, just source available, and basically built up a following before shutting source code availability down.
While Gaggimate isn’t FOSS in the fullest sense, they do use a CC license (to stop commercial use) with no personal restrictions at https://github.com/jniebuhr/gaggimate
And, it’s a lot cheaper to build.
Boring standard screen-based stuff. I could dig out a board game if you really want, I guess.
Maybe you’ll like my dog?
Almost everyone in this thread is a terrible host, Jesus Christ.
Sorry, OP.
I’ll be naked when you get here. I think I have a strip of bacon left and can make some more French Toast.
Cooking bacon in the nude is indeed entertaining.
I’ve heard it can end poorly.
I have a cat that refuses to shut up. Ask him anything, he will scream at you. He will only stop if you ask him about Israel. Sometimes.
Why should I entertain you?
sense of community. friendship. the challenge. im santa, its christmas,you been bad but ill swing you some premo shit if you make me smile.
thanks for making me entertain myself with my own mind. teach a man to fish. thank you
