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...

I just woke up so i hope you have your phone and preferred method of using Lemmy

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 1 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.

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.

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

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

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

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!

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.

You can hang out in the back yard and hand-feed our 100+ pound giant sulcata tortoise. She'll come "running" if she sees you have treats (e.g. lettuce).

You can keep the puppy busy outside so she doesn't have to worry about "forgetting" and doing that inside (puppies are trouble).

You can fish off the dock or swim in the pool. At night, I can setup the projection screen and we can watch some old movie out back and roast marshmallows at the fire pit.

Or you can just hang out with me in my garage/office and lose endless amounts of time watching the 3D printer print something (as is tradition with 3D printing!).

Also have a rather large robot to play with and an awesome HTPC setup and wifi 7 with 2 gig Internet. Actually, forget all that other stuff; 2 gig Internet is living the dream! 🤣

I send you up to the roof. You help the roofers there. Nothing beats some honest work with your hands.
