Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

I love games, but even when I was playing a lot of multiplayer, it was never really a strong competitive thing for me. We hit our stride right after school because we were all spread out across the country, but nobody had too serious of a job or relationship to devote much time to. We would all lobby up, and just use the voice chat to bust chops and generally chat while the game was happening in the background.

Now, most of the people I played with don’t really have games in their life anymore, so they’re all at least 1 console generation behind. I’m married with 2 tiny children. I still play a bit, but it’s not organized, scheduled time… It’s basically whenever I can squeeze in an hour or so (usually either after everybody goes to sleep, or before anybody else wakes up). For this reason, I usually play single-player games, or if I’m playing multiplayer, it’s online with randos.

Now that you mention it I would REALLY like to get some of my friends playing Deep Rock. I’ve had nothing but good times playing with randos, but MAN it would be good to mess around with good friends.

Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the “dial-out” group and it worked like a charm.

I don’t know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

1. Ive never worked in Linux before
2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It’s the first time I’ve ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must’ve somehow preserved my printer settings.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, “turn right at the traffic light. There’s corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you’ve gone too far.”

I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he’s 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.

3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.

Ouch, I feel that one.

Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she’s been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom’s. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.

Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.

I’m the problem. As feared I fudged it up as I was rushing to type it up on my phone. As @CoderKat mentioned, the problem with typing it out as /m instead of using @, is that you have to manually enter the visible text in [ ] and the hyperlink in ( ). I got the hyperlink correct and beefed it on the visible text.

I thought it worked if you just linked /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
With the only caveat being that users on kbin will need /m/asklemmy.ml

I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn’t work.

A missed opportunity to create dungeon.social, a shared place for ttrpg players and bdsm enthusiasts.

It’s better than “no censorship”. It’s “whatever censorship you and your instance agree on”.

Don’t like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your “all” feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn’t federate with them. It’s just SO much better this way for everybody.

Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I’m in a real pickle.

Username checks out and concerns me.

I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the “old thing” just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.

Also, at the moment, there’s an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.

At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a “discover Scuba” class. You’ll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.

Quite busy. We were booked up every night all weekend with parties, class reunions, and father’s day shenanigans. Also we’re taking care of a lot of business that needs to be taken care of before our 2nd baby arrives (probably Wednesday). It’s been a weekend!
