    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.

    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

          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.

        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

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

    Maybe you’ll like my dog?

    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.
