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.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ancient spirits or liquid spirits?

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 1 points 4 days ago

Since last month only liquid...

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 9 points 6 days ago

well im currently naked.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uuuuh that french tarot game seems right up my alley. Nice. Ill be at your place in ten.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Looked at the rules and will try. Thanks for the half point change. Might help.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah i really want that.

I'll look for it tonight. Reply to this at some point, if you don't mind. It'll remind me to post it for you. Lol

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ask you to help carry my old stove out to the curb and see if you want to troubleshooot some wiring

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is my kind of afternoon

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.)

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hang in there. All the best for getting all good with everything.

Thanks, friend. :)

Hit me up on my main account if you see it floating around

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

I will leave you in suspense on if I will open the door.

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

I'm sick, so we're watcbing Hollow Knight streams.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

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

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Boring standard screen-based stuff. I could dig out a board game if you really want, I guess.

Maybe you'll like my dog?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 6 days ago

By calling 911.

I mean I might still be jacking off so that'll probably do it

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Mario Tennis on the N64. Sorry though, we'll need to play the clay court, as my HDMI adapter for the VGA washes all the colours and makes the ball hard to see on grass.

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wanna rip bongs and watch me play Final Fantasy Tactics?

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I'm not sure if you intended that to be foreplay or not, but my pants are coming off now.

[–] EponymousBosh@awful.systems 3 points 6 days ago

I'm not at my place right now. If you come to my friend's place where we're at, you can have a donut and maybe pet the cat.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

We can play boardgames and Magic: The Gathering, if you don't know how to play it I will happily teach you.

[–] AlexCory21@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I've got a modded Nintendo Wii which plays GameCube games and also does emulation from a large hard drive.

I also have a ps3 with two gun controllers and Time Crisis Razing Storm combo disc (3 shooting games included). And Killzone 3 which imo, is amazing. Especially with the gun controllers.

I also have an older xbox 360 white model with backwards compatability that still works somehow (knock on wood). So we can also play original xbox games in addition to Xbox 360 games.

All of these hooked up to a large flat panel TV on a swivel mount. And with 2 couches. And a fake zebra rug and smart lights for ambience.

I will entertain you with nostalgia. And couch coop or versus gaming.


And if we get bored of games. We can watch YouTube or Netflix or whatever.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Er, sorry dude/dudette, I'm off to bed very soon.

Shall I give you a tour of my hallway?
