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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
Er, sorry dude/dudette, I'm off to bed very soon.
The free labor has arrived!
i hope you like shitty work because you get what you pay for.
It's bedtime so bugger off
i am the bed bugs. now is my time to shine.
Plex Server. Enough content there for lifetimes.
cant wait to get reincarnated at your place
You better be ready to pick up some drum sticks while I hop on the bass guitar, otherwise we can watch music videos on yt.
i would love to play some drums in a jam. i usually play guitar or sing. but drums look like fun. i think i could do it... for 4 bars
I won't host people who demands to be hosted.
You can entertain yourself with knocking on my door while I'll report you to the police.
i never asked to be hosted. merely entertained. now im running from the police and am no longer bored. thank you.
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!
