Hello everyone,

As we moved here, I was thinking to recreate the regular threads using https://schedule.lemmings.world/

The ones we had on Lemm.ee were

  • Music Monday - What have you been listening to?
  • Cheerful Tuesday - What made you smile or laugh?
  • Hobbies Wednesday - What have you been doing?
  • Thursday - How is your week going?
  • Friday - What are your plans for the week-end?
  • Saturday - What have you watched this week?
  • Pets Sunday

First of all, do you have any ideas of other weekly threads that we could have?

Second, I am looking for other people to "own" the weekly threads, this community is your as well, after all!

@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works offered to handle the Sunday one, would any of you be interested in posting any of the other ones?

You can just use https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to schedule the post with a weekly recurrence.

Pretry sure it was a Nintendo DS/3DS or something like that. I never actually had a game console until recently. I now have a Nintendo Switch 2 (never got the v1, so might as well get the v2 since its released).

But I don't have friends so I guess I'm just gonna play with randoms online... 🤷‍♂️

The Zelda Games are kinda fun, still not finished with them yet.

In school, I overhear conversations about their Wii's, thei Xbox'es, their Playstations, and kids be like "Ooh I just got the latest one", and basically the entire socialization was revolving video games, and some were PC gamers but they had an actual gaming rig, not some potato laptop like I had.

So I realize that most of my childhood, I may have been basically been sort of socially ostricized because I don't know about what the kids were doing, so I didn't fit in.

And on top of that, maybe my introverted personality just make people not like me even more.

And I think one of the biggest problems was I spend the first like 5 years of my life in the United States (I arrived in the US on an immigration visa when I was a kid as part of my family) basically trying to readjust my brain to learning English so that few years of not speaking the language was probably enough to erode my self esteem and thus spiral into the mess I am right now.

I wonder if this chain of events is why I have depression.

Now every time I hold my Switch 2, I remember the childhood that other's got to enjoy but I never had. Kinda make me wanna cry.

Did y'all have games growing up. (Like actual games, not pay-to-win games running on a potato)

My gf and I are back from travelling. We were thinking about going out, but then I started raining... Then it stopped raining, but we still didn't feel like going out.

So it's just a chill evening at home for us. Those are good too!

Apparently from what I've read, the meteor showers will be on from mid July through to mid August, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will be visible in the UK and if anyone has any luck seeing them?

I started off with DND 5E and still enjoy it, but I started playing Pathfinder 2E a few months ago and just adore it. I think it's a better system overall and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys TTRPGs. It's complicated, probably more so than DND, but it's worth it imo. The three-action economy, four degrees of success, and sheer amount of character customization are my favorite features.

I've played a pretty broad variety of characters. Mechanically, my favorite was my first ever character--a draconic sorcerer. I like blowing stuff up, what can I say. Roleplay-wise, it's a tie between my swashbuckler rogue and my celestial warlock. All of those were in DND, since I haven't been playing PF for very long. I've liked every character I've played, but I tend to enjoy characters with high CHA the most.

Right now, I'm playing a DND campaign and two PF campaigns. My characters are a grave domain cleric, a barbarian with the titan wrestler archetype, and a champion with the sorcerer archetype.

I've also played a little Dungeon World and a tiny one-shot called (iirc) The Witch Is Dead. One of my DMs is getting into Daggerheart, so I may be picking up a game in that system soon. I think I may play a rogue.

Tell me about your TTRPG experiences!

Any Friday/weekend plans? None for me as usual. Anything anyone wants to talk about, no matter how mundane you think it might be I’d enjoy chatting with you.

It feels like I’m decluttering. I joined a couple meme communities or whatever they’re called here. And I like the usual stuff movies, games, books and have checked some of those. I’m not trying to go overboard and join every place, more so looking cool and chill places to interact with people.

You just get the idea you need to be in the wilderness (whatever is local - hot, cold, dry, wet, etc). You can pick anything up you want on the way out, but you can't stop walking out the door.

How long do you reckon you would make it living off the land? Any special circumstances or tools that would have helped?

I noticed this with almost every outdoor activity I do.

While I love diving and snorkeling, but after the first dive/ snorkel back to boat I can't wait to get back in but I don't want to get wet, put on masks, fins etc.

We were canoeing and while I could go 15-20 miles in a single session I hate getting out of the canoe and getting it out of the water, getting dry, eating and then just the though of getting back into a canoe is exhausting.

I noticed this with climbing as well. Thats why I just prefer to boulder if i ever go climb.

If I had two scuba dives in a row without having to go back to boat I'd enjoy it way more. But these breaks in the middle of the day are so exhausting for me.

Is this normal? Everytime I go on trips nobody has this problem.

But once I am set up and back in I'm fine. It's just this phase during breaks where I think I am actually fine and could go home now. One reason why I just prefer to power through 6-8 hours and then eat a huge dinner.

This devout man believes in being kind to all God's creatures. However, if they try to invade his vegetable garden then he's quite happy to hand out advice on how to destroy the pests! His job is to watch lovingly over the simple folk of his parish, although some say he prefers to keep an eye on his beloved vegetables, especially the carrots.
