Saturday I'll be running session 3 of a D&D campaign with some friends, Sunday my parents come over for some father's day grilling, and Monday I have off work so I'll probably just chill and play TotK for 10 hours.
My summer might be peaking here lol.
Aw man im jealous! My friends schedules fell out of whack so we had to stop our dnd games:(
Yeah, it's hard. This is session 3 but session 1 was in March. We can't really figure out a regular schedule so just decide when we can play next as we go along.
Not going to lie, that's a tall order to beat.
It's my step-dad's birthday/father's day this weekend, and we're going to do something for that. My MIL and FIL are likely coming over as well at some point to see my kids. Low key is the order of the weekend.
I'm manifesting tickets to a local festival right now which means I'm basically waiting for them to fall out of the sky and hit me in the face. I miss having money for these things! It's meant to be rainy anyway so maybe I won't miss much!
Apart from that I'm meeting a friend for some food and then visiting some family. I'm starting a new job next week so I might do some prep for that. Or I might not, I might just wing it on the day haha!
What line of work/industry is your new job in (if I'm allowed to ask)? Best of luck with the new gig, you'll kill it.
Teaching! I've been in the wrong industry for years but I think this is where my skills really lie. I've terrible attention to detail and can't plan to save my life so office work has been a terrible drag. Teaching is something that really comes naturally to me, I love being at the top of a classroom. I know you're meant to plan loads for it but I've found even my best plans often get derailed and I'm good at improvising so I'm not going to get too hung up on the planning part!
Thanks for the well wishes, it means a lot :)
That's awesome. The world needs more enthusiastic teachers.
Wishing you nothing but the complete realization of your goal and the personal fulfillment that goes with it.
First 5k running race tommorow
good luck! what kind of training did you do??
Nothing special, just running 4 days a week and try to slowly run a little bit faster each day
Planning to go out to the local state park and look for good boulders to climb. My goal for this summer is to transition from indoor to outdoor bouldering.
My daughter has a new best friend and I haven't met her mum yet, so the girls have organised a get together for us at a local cafe so we can meet and get to know each other. It's kind of a blind playdate for the mums, lol. The cafe they've chosen is between where we both live and the food and coffee are excellent there. Apart from that I'll be making my weekly assault on Mount Washmore in the laundry, and continuing with my only occasionally successful attempts to declutter the house.
Mount Washmore
I'm adopting that.
Cleaning out the fridge is priority one, it's out of control in there!!!! Zoinks!
I'm going to my sister's baby shower tomorrow, and then on Father's Day we're having a cookout! I'm honestly more excited for the cookout because there will be smoked brisket :)
It's Juneteenth weekend in Atlanta so it's food trucks, music, and booze until Tuesday
It's pride weekend in my city.
So copious amounts of flag waving and alcohol
Have fun!
At this point, I'm not really sure! I was supposed to spend this weekend with family for fathers' day, but my dad's sick with a cold. Prob spending it with my fiancee's family for her sister's birthday
might go see a silly yacht club band tonight. attending a birthday party tomorrow. riding ~40 miles out on sunday morning, then taking the train back home that evening.
My new kitchen table and chairs will arrive next Tuesday, so we'll spend the weekend moving out the old kitchen table and washing the floor. Fun fun.
Adulting is lame AF
Getting a new table and chairs rocks though. The old table is wobbly and looks terrible
I’m going to a Guinea pig show this weekend! I’m considering entering my boy piggies for the “Best Boar Pair” award.
Hubby's out of town so the house is gonna GET clean and STAY clean. lol. Also, will be working on my Mitsubishi Delica that's been converted to an RV. Cold beer, hard work. Check.
Working on a converted Delica sounds like a great weekend!
Going to stay with a friend in a few hours. We're planning on smoking, watching cartoons, maybe some light gaming, then finishing it off with watching the new Transformers movie on Sunday!
Moved into a new place, need to get some stuff for my home. Like towels, lamps, mat, utensil tray, bin, plastic containers... I'm headed to a factory outlet and I'll try not to get carried away.
Might get a sound system if I'm not careful
Playing Delta Green with some mates on Sunday 👽
I did a 10,000 mph review of delta green. What do you play it on? a computer?
Up until a week ago, it was in person. Now I'm looking at virtual tabletops.
Hopping a plane at 6:15 in the morning bound for Jamaica for a week 😄
Replacing the fuel filter in my Triumph Rocket 3, in the hopes of making it run properly again. I may need to clean the idle air control valve, too. If I can't figure it out, off to the dealer it goes.
I'm going to a game store on Saturday to have a mini painting with some friends in a local TTRPG group. I have a huuuuge backlog of mini's that need to get painted... It's real bad lol
But doing it with friends will help motivate me, which was the whole reason we organized it because they suffer from the same problem haha
TTRPG
Warhammer?
That's more of a wargame than a true TTRPG but there are Warhammer TTRPGs! Like Deathwatch, Rogue Legacy, and Imperium Maledictum.
This Discord group I ran across is specifically non-DnD TTRPG's only, which has been great honestly. We're getting together to paint mini's because we're looking to start a Mordheim campaign. I'm going to go with Skaven for my war band, looking forward to when we start that up 😄
That sounds cool.
40K has always interested me, but I never got around to playing. I understand the distinction you're getting at with it vs. TTRPGs, however.
I'm pretty happy I started this thread; I'm getting a really cool look at a whole bunch of other things I didn't know existed, but people pursue for hobbies.
I've never played 40k either but I love the lore! I just don't have the space available (or the money) to have a big army for a game like that. Mordheim is a good tradeoff though, it's similar in gameplay but you fight with small squads of like ten figures. There's also RPG elements with objectives you have to try and complete. The hard part is finding others to play with though, but if you're interested to try and get people in your area into that check out Broheim which is a community that's kept Mordheim alive since GW stopped supporting it!
That being said I highly recommend the Warhammer TTRPG's I mentioned too, they're a lot of fun. Each one gives a different flavor of the 40k universe. Deathwatch you play as a Space Marine which is as power fantasy as you'd imagine. While Rogue Legacy and Imperium Maledictum you're normal Imperium citizens, and your character is exactly as squishy as you'd imagine lol
I'm glad you started it too! A lot of cool things in this thread 😄
I will be having my roof replaced. It's going to be a long noisy weekend.
I'll be going to a motocross race in Mt Morris, PA. It's my home track, and one I've raced dozens of times as an amateur. I've gone almost yearly since I was a child. It's raced yearly in the AMA Pro MX series for almost 50 years.
Trying to fix several things with Sopuli, hitting the gym and hanging out with my friends.
My plans consist of both celebrating Fathers day with my siblings and, obviously, my father, and working on an essay ive been procastinating that is due on next Monday at 9:00 AM.
I dont know how ill pull it off, but i will.
If you want help with your essay, I am a librarian; feel free to message, I'll help you find stuff.
What is your essay on?
Splitting back and forth between Diablo 4 and Zelda
Going to have lunch with a friend on Sunday, so he can draw me a custom token for my commander deck! Then gonna cook house dinner for my co-op that evening, since it's so dang hot I'm thinking something cooling like a quinoa salad
Farmers market, drag brunch, grocery shopping
Mow my grass. Maybe work on my truck. Play some games. It's been a stressful week. Between my mom and I being sick with whatever was going around eventually leading me to take her to the emergancy room Wednesday. Now she can't keep anything down but otherwise she is better, at least looks and sounds better. Then there's just been lots of small things adding to my stress level.
Probably going to hunker down and code, if not visit the big city near us.
Performing Carmina Burana with my choir this evening which should be fun. I am already knackered though so Sunday I am hoping to do as little as possible
SO and I are going out to dinner tonight. Tomorrow if we feel like getting up early enough we may go check out some local farmers' markets or garage sales. Besides that, no specific plans. Maybe grill some ribs I've got in the freezer.
Stay in bed and sulk until my depression passes
I will be having my roof replaced. It's going to be a long noisy weekend.
It's father's day here on Sunday, so I'm going out with my family
We've got a kid so things revolve around them, but hoping to have a chill Father's Day and trying to rope a friend of mine into seeing the new Transformers movie!
My friends have been getting into Worms WMD! Im awful at it and its very unintuitive, but its still fun to just get drunk together and fuck up the plans of my friends who know how to play it, lol
It's fun being the agent of chaos in a game with people who take it seriously. Makes things interesting, and sometimes you catch them with their pants down.
Figuratively.
Right? Thats my role in any smash bros game too, lol
Is my birthday today so I’m gonna have a gram of mushrooms and watch a silly dumb comedy movie with my wife.
That sounds awesome. I'm not in to mushrooms, but that sounds relaxing.
HBD, my dude
Thank you! Shrooms are definitely an acquired taste haha. Have an awesome day
Happy birthday! Hope you have fun!
happy bday. enjoy your time and space.
Our computer museum has our monthly open house on saturday. We're going to be working on our PDP-12:
Wow! that thing is cool!
Where's the museum? Maybe someone on here is in the area and would like something to do.
Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
