s3rvant,

+1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)

s3rvant,

This is near exactly me; only difference is that I do not play things out ahead of time.

  1. Watch video (Watch It Played)
  2. Read rulebook
  3. Play with group
s3rvant,

I’m currently self hosting:

  • Jellyfin: TV shows for kiddos
  • Minetest: gaming with kiddos
  • Supertuxkart: more gaming with kiddos
  • Pi-hole: DNS with several filters
  • Tiny Tiny RSS: feed reader
  • Nextcloud: phone sync and project management
  • Gitea: code tracking and version control
  • JSketcher: CAD drawing
  • Stable Diffusion: AI art

The last two are local-network only and the most recent additions; still just tinkering with them at this point.

My favorite of the list is probably TT-RSS which I use for podcasts and to keep tabs on a few sub-reddits I had participated in before moving to Lemmy.

s3rvant,

Here’s a 60-day free trial to tinker with as well: https://www.linode.com/tux

s3rvant,

We have:

  • F 22yr - working part time while in college with a focus on missions
  • F 21yr - married with 2yr boy currently living out of state and moving back near us next month
  • M 18yr - just graduated high school, working part time, considering a trade for career
  • M 15yr - taking driver’s ed and is our hunter / outdoorsman, also considering a trade
  • F 12yr - struggles with school / confidence but making great progress, super sweet kid
  • M 11yr - always happy / super chill, gets along great with his older siblings
  • F 7yr - most talkative, loves everyone, struggling with dyslexia in school
  • M 7yr - all energy all the time, loves to run and tinker, excels in STEM subjects

Oldest 2 are biological with the others adopted from foster care; all have been a tremendous blessing.

s3rvant,

Our biological kids were about 12/13 when we started fostering. Our first long term placement that we adopted finalized a few years later and was 10 when they were first placed. They got along really well and still do.

Our next two adoptions were 2 when place so that was a big change but at that age the older kids were able to help babysit etc. and while the older kids still consider them siblings the relationship is certainly different from the big age gap.

The final three adoptions were 10/12/14 at the time and a sibling group. They blended in rather well fitting right between the older and younger kids. Now they all play together quite well and will break off into different groups depending on what activity they’re doing.

Feel free to ask any follow ups.

s3rvant,

Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.

s3rvant,

Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see

s3rvant,

My fav so far is beeple

s3rvant,

New moderator saying hi!

Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a...

s3rvant,

Howdy!

I'm a game designer and mostly play gateway games with the kiddos though also love Scythe, Terraforming Mars (lately Ares Expedition) and several others when my son-in-law is in town.

Happy to have a place to talk design here 😊

s3rvant,

My published games are Nightfall (and its expansions), World-Z League and an upcoming deckbuilder via Universal Studios that's manufacturing now.

Unpublished I have an abstract on time travel and a real-time card game about competing food trucks that I co-designed with my son-in-law.

(we have 8 kids so certainly some should take after me right? lol)

s3rvant,

LOL yep, player count is definitely a consideration :D

My favorite part is working out the mechanics of a game trying to create something new and fun. I almost always start with a mechanical idea that I think on for a long while as I piece together supporting mechanics toward a playable game and part way through that process a theme will generally emerge that aids in finalizing the mechanics.

What do you eat in the morning?

I've never been a breakfast person, and I don't wake up hungry. I used to go a few hours without eating anything and then have a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of brown rice, and a sliced avocado with some salt or soy sauce. That's a very tasty and healthy breakfast, but I get hungry again within a couple of hours....

s3rvant,

6 scrambled eggs made with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.

I prefer to start the day with a big breakfast, eat a light lunch and then nothing until a moderate supper with a small, low carb dessert in the evening.

I find the large breakfast starts my day well and fatty foods keep me satisfied longer so I'm not tempted to snack throughout the day, especially while working from home where food is always available.

s3rvant,

To be fair I certainly didn't start with that many; I started with the keto diet roughly 10 years ago, found eggs to be my most convenient breakfast food and slowly built up the number while reducing the size of my lunch.

s3rvant,

Yes! It's the one I'm most excited for.

[Solved] Beehaw crashing after few minutes

When leaving home page up in Firefox tab after ~5 minutes the tab will crash. This started last night and initially thought a fluke however is continuing this morning. I've tried CTRL+F5 to clear cache in case some code change but that did not resolve the issue. Also checked console for error messages though did not see any. So...

s3rvant,

Thank you; I've added my notes:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1385#issuecomment-1600820290

s3rvant,

Yep. Version 114.0.2 is available now and after updating the issue is gone.

s3rvant,

Go is fairly straight forward to get started with so imagine most resources will suffice especially if they have some interactive elements; example: https://www.learn-go.net/

Also recommend covering part of the board at first to make a smaller 13x13 or even 9x9 board to learn on as the full 19x19 can be quite daunting for someone completely new to the game.

Also try not to stress about winning too much at first; just play a lot, lose plenty and you'll naturally start picking up some of the patterns that tend to form as you play.

s3rvant,

Yes, it's a little fiddly but the options are there:
