Getting buzzed and gaming. Not a great evening.

I think that’s a great evening

It's okay from time to time. I've been doing it too much recently.

Well it’s good you recognize that at least. Moderation is key

I was doing that a lot over the holidays, and decided to do a dry January. It is doing wonders for my gaming nights. You could try it next month (shortest one of the year, so a little less commitment).

I hope you find yourself soon in a place where getting buzzed and gaming is a positive instead of negative

Cheers 🤜

It's good to be a Canadian :)

Mentally preparing for a strong acid trip tomorrow. Getting homework done so I don't stress about it etc

Ground Control to Major Tom. Have a good trip!

Thank you comrade o7. Tripping with a good mutual friend and my girlfriend tripsitting. We have lots of coloring to do

Hanging with my wife, killing time till next week when we learn if her biopsy is cancerous.

I know it's a random voice in the void, but I sincerely hope it's benign.

The wait is so draining. It dominates every part of your psyche and just makes your entire existence about itself. Don’t forget to exist during the wait.

For yourself, and for your wife - go do something fun that’ll demand your focus for a bit. Best of luck to you both. I hope for good news for you.

I'm so sorry, that sounds stressful. Crossing fingers and toes for good news!

Best wishes that you get the best result possible.

Drinking and 90s music.

Got recommendations? Going for a workout and I've had a lot of 90s in my playlist recently

Not sure if these are workout songs, but:

You didn’t ask me, but I’ll give you my unsolicited recommendation: Jellyfish - Spilt Milk

In a time when grunge was the new hotness, this band released a masterpiece. Catchy ass pop rock - like if you threw Queen, The Beach Boys and The Beatles all in a blender with some modern, polished sensibility. Dang just talking about it makes me want to relisten.

Although it doesn’t sound like it really came from the 90s to me honestly. Ok I’ll shut up now lol

I appreciate the recommendation! Weird I haven't tried this before, I like it :)

Edit: I like 'Ghost at Number One'

I would start a Foo Fighters radio. Can't beat 90s rock/alternative.

Agreed! Adding some Foo Fighters too

Drinking beer, doing dabs, and watching Taskmaster with my wife while we eat frozen pizza.

Not a bad evening, really.

What's taskmaster?

British gameshow on YouTube.

There are other countries versions now.

Basically comedians being given ridiculous tasks and given no prizes for it.

BG3 with my brother. Multiplayer FTW.

I've been playing multiplayer with my husband and brother. This is the first playthrough for my husband and I. It's been so much fun!

I'm sitting in a Red Lobster parking lot because my teenage son and his friends wanted to decimate endless shrimp.

my tabletop campaign group is cancelled because two people are sick D:

Y'all should try using tabletop simulator. My DND group uses it when we can't meet in person and it's wonderful

+1 and there's a lot of good solutions. FoundryVTT, Roll20, FantasyGrounds and Owlbear Rodeo all work well too

Drinking beers and pettin’ that dawg(s).

I'm also going to drink orange Kool aid and masterbate.

Awww.... I thought they were really pettng the dog.

A month ago I took a really long shot and actually messaged a girl's Snapchat from a dating app. It took all the courage I had, but I just told her I was attracted to her and I wanted to be physical with her.

She's almost 30 years younger than me, and drop dead gorgeous, and goth hot.

She's on her way over right now for our third "date".

Not saying this to brag, I'm saying maybe go browse a dating app and message hot chicks and see what happens. I still can't believe this is happening to me but it is.

If a racehorse owned by Krusty the Clown and Bette Middler can do it, anyone can.

I just want to let you know it took almost two decades for someone to finally catch the reference.

It's the best portmanteau joke ever made.

Taking care of my son who doesnt want to sleep properly. He's almost 8 months old

Writing my letter of resignation, developing a Blender extension, and watching a streamer play Control (specifically the ashtray maze) for the first time.

Trying to decide about dinner while having some wine! It’s a rainy Friday night where I’m at.

Rain and wine can be delightful if you're in the right mood for it.

Ooh, wine sounds so good. I'm jealous, I just had a little cider

It's a rainy Friday here too, I opted for pizza because I didn't wanna cook. It's Friday after all, wine not? 😁

I had pizza last night and I’m at a stalemate as I sit here trying to decide what sounds good. If I don’t figure it out soon I might be having leftover pizza again myself lol. Cheers 🍷

Same. Bought fajita ingredients on my way home, got a little buzzed, ordered pizza.

My wife has a procedure Monday that requires me to get her there.

Tonight, a couple of beers. Then I stay up as needed.

She kept me sorted out when I had a procedure, I’ll do the same for her.

Your mum!

OK, immature jokes aside; Saturday is movie night for me and my friends, and we've been spending the past year going through the entire Star Wars franchise in chronological order.

Tonight we'll watch the last half of The Mandalorian season 2. We're nearly finished!

I spent the entire evening playing virtual D&D while sewing details onto a corset and making a bloody necklace (it's for a stage act). Quite happy with the result.

I stream every night. Just to keep myself up with the game, while doing something useful playing it, and also practicing English speaking.

Trying to get some code completed so I can justify flying to big island to hang out with friends tomorrow.

Enjoying a birthday dinner. Well, trying to. Had a sore throat for days and all I want to do is sleep.

Happy birthday! I hope when you wake up tomorrow your throat isn't sore anymore 💜

I just woke up, today I am thinking about driving 2h to get to Eskilstuna and look at some cool steam engines in a museum.

Actually nice to hear. I just got a new car and I'm looking for places to drive. For me Eskilstuna is like 1.5 hours.

I bought my first car last summer at 35, this is the first longer trip I'll do in it (apart from looking at the northern most bus stop in SL's area and also looking at Dannemora Gruva), I just had breakfast and am bow heading out in the beautiful weather

What car do you have? I just leased a new Volvo Xc-40 because of the amazing sound system. :)

I have a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV hatchback, bought it last year, and today was the first major issue....

After visiting Eskilstuna, I stopped by Arlanda on my way back to see if I could take some good photos, I had my camera and locked the car, tried to get a few shots, but nothing interesting happened, then 10 min later, when I wanted to leave, the car would not unlock the doors...

I called for a mechanic, ha managed to get the driver's side door open, pop the bonnet and with a battery booster, got me going again.

I suspect an old battery, and I will call a workshop on monday to get it checked out.

Yeah it's weird. So much electronics in the cars now that they become unreliable. I heard that Volkswagens infotainment systems completely lock up sometimes and require a reboot. Luckily the car still works when it happens....

My Leon has been a really good car for me, I bought it used, with 15000km run on it, and now at 35000km this is the first big issue I have had.

As for infotainment issues, I have sort of had issues with mine, the main infotainment unit works fine, but the carplay link to my iPhone do get messed up from time to time, especially if it is running wirelessly.

I think it had more to do with radio interference and how the Carplay protocol is implemented rather than the infotainment in the car.

I have however found an external factor that has messed with my car's built in navigation system, Russia spoofing GPS signals, I drove around the northern suburbs of Stockholm, and my car's map thought I was driving in the southern suburbs and costantly moved my marker all over the place, my phone was fine though at the same time...

What is that?

A town about 2h driving west of Stockholm in Sweden, they have a cool museum with stationary steam engines from their industrial history, there is another museum showing off more of it as well, including some swords, guns and rifles made in the town.

Working on a musical composition in the style of Fugazi as a tribute to them.

Got hotpot with like 50 of my coworkers. Had a blast. Some table ordered too much food and it was hilarious for everyone else as we watched them struggle to finish it all. We had to rotate people into their table to help eat the food.

Buzzed as well, on my laptop, trying to figure out why my xbps template is not working correctly.

What I would actually like to do is go out and find an alt girl to spend the night with, but that won't be happening tonight.

playing an rpg with some pals. Currently entangled between a giant undead psychic who wants to kidnap our party's legally distinct jedi, a mind flayer planted by a fascist government, and the crashed wedding's bride who for some reason is super hyped to kill.

Potentially taking drugs and watching a triple feature of Godzilla Minus One, a film by one of the theatre owners, and a mystery movie.

Long time Godzilla fan. Minus One is a work of art imo.

Working before a 4 day weekend. It sucks, but that's how it be sometimes.

I'm helping dev a niche online game, so I've been spending my free nights coding in Python

I watched Obliterated on Netflix after taking an edible. Great evening!

I was setting up a nomad cluster and enjoying it so much. :)

Running spotlight for a local chamber of commerce event.

Going through server logs to fill in holes for the rp wiki we have. This is going to take a while

Working. I'm on break right now but I've been scrolling and reading.

Not really tonight, but yesterday I finished the language puzzle game Chants of Sennaar. Highly recommend!

One of my kids is currently attending a birthday party at the local trampoline park, so as I'm the driver I'm currently playing chess and writing this post while waiting. By the time I get home it's time to herd half of my offsprings to bed, after which I have a few beers waiting for me, as well as a savegame in Songs of Syx I started on yesterday.

Oh, and I finally found a replacement wrist band that fits my Garmin watch today, so I'm replacing it at some point during the evening.

Played a game of Red Dragon Inn and now watching Youtube videos while eating salami and cheese.

Worked on some music (synthesizer programming) got dinner with bae, enjoyed some recreational drugs in lieu of alcohol (dry January, lol) and cuddling with the cat!
