  • Why would I buy this?

    Jump

  • Just nabbed Necesse now that it's out of early access; looking forward to playing with my kiddos :)

  • How do you kill time at work?

    Jump

  • I worked a factory job for several years that had nearly unrestricted internet and the ability to install programs. There's a LOT of options here depending on your technical skill and what you're able to get away with. One of my favs was setting up a remote connection to my home network so I could work on project there without much fuss on the work computers and was easy to just close the connection if needed.

    Also games. I played a lot of games... even designed some with all the time we had.

    Learning web development was my most productive though; I was able to contribute to the company and got promoted to IT which launched my career to where I am now.

  • This was me. At first I automated some commonly used spreadsheets and then made some simple web tools to help our team which eventually led to getting to their IT department and now I work from home full time as a developer.

  • Emulators, whether installed locally or played via an online version, are great too - replayed Ocarina of Time over night shift and was awesome for getting through that time

    What were you doing at 18?

    Jump

  • Yeah my kiddos were born when I was 15 and 17. Wife and I dated all of high school and planned to marry anyways.

    What were you doing at 18?

    Jump

  • At 18 I was married with 2 kids. I skipped college to focus on work and providing for my family.

    That was 2002. Since then we've adopted 6 more and are currently fostering 2 that we hope to adopt.

  • What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself?

    Jump

  • Agreed. For anything beyond the simplest setup membership is the way to go especially if near enough to some of the cheaper options; we had a Planet Fitness open near us that offers $10/month for lowest tier membership (prior it was YMCA at $70/month for the family).

  • Safety razor

    Blades are extremely cheap and always gives a great shave.

    Elliptical and dumbbells

    Gym memberships add up quick so went with a cheaper elliptical and a nice set of adjustable dumbbells.

    Kobo ereader

    As I get more into reading I've come to appreciate that this one allows loading my own ebooks from my PC which can save a ton depending on use case.

  • This 100%

    I do my own renovations and build some simple furniture etc.; my drill and miter saw in particular have been invaluable.

  • Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar situation currently hosting Pihole on my Pi's and Jellyfin on a SFF refurbished PC that's running some other project. I've decided to go with a NUC, most likely beelink, and intend to install Proxmox to then run container VMs for each of the various projects to more easily manage them.

  • What did you invent?

    Jump

  • The board games: Nightfall, World-Z League, and Unchained.

  • N++ — 10th anniversary update

    Jump

  • Man... I spent a lot of time playing the original N along with some level design. Super fun times. Cool to see them still going strong.

  • Do you use a song for your alarm clock?

    Jump

  • Monody by TheFatRat

    I love his work especially with Laura Brehm and this one specifically has a nice slow build without any vocals for a while which I find more pleasant to wake up to.

  • What is something you enjoy doing but suck at?

    Jump

  • Disc golf

    I don't have the power or accuracy to score well nor the time to invest in improving. I do love the time walking through the woods with family and friends sharing the experience as we goof around.

  • What is something you enjoy doing but suck at?

    Jump

  • +1 for Beyond All Reason :)

    So far I've only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.

  • What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?

    Jump

  • Nitroglycerin :(

    Glad issues were found when they were though and am consistently getting better :)

  • how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl

    Jump

  • For the Reddit communities that are important to me I use their RSS feeds to keep an eye on new posts though I've logged out of my account and stopped participating. All actual browsing and participation was switched entirely to Lemmy.

  • Let's talk popcorn.
