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…
well im currently naked.
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.
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.
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.
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!
You have a choice. We can watch Ninja Turtles, read Ninja Turtles, or play Ninja Turtles.
Born in the early 80’s no doubt.
I’m sick, so we’re watcbing Hollow Knight streams.
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
I will leave you in suspense on if I will open the door.
Boring standard screen-based stuff. I could dig out a board game if you really want, I guess.
Maybe you’ll like my dog?
You can watch me practice and fuck up the same riff for 3 hours straight if you want
What riff?
Right now I’m trying to learn Downfall by Children of Bodom
Not bad.
I would watch you if I wasn’t looking down at my hands, playing the harmony riff.
Hell yeah come over! I have lots of cool pointy guitars
the pointy-ness makes them sound better. its just science
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.
We can play lego LOTR on my PC I have 2 controllers.
Gotchu Bro/Sister:
Wife’s already got Fellowship of the Ring Extended (of COURSE) ultraHD in the player.
I’ll pop us some popcorn, and gladly point out all the fun trivia, like how when Aragorn kicks the helmet in Two Towers it was so legit because the actor ACTUALLY BROKE HIS TOE.
Why did I mention Two Towers when Fellowship is in the player? Heh. . .you didn’t think we were stopping after Fellowship, did you?
The doors are already locked and planned bathroom / snack retrieval breaks are posted on the wall.
an escape room! Are you guys in costume too?
