  • I'm going to throw this idea into the mix. It's how I'd handle the situation and it's generally worked pretty well for me. Ideally you'd send a message like this when your friend is online and playing but it really doesn't matter when you send it.

    "Hey mate, just noticed you and x and y are online. Mind if I jump in for a bit? Be great to have a game or two"

    Nice and relaxed, no pressure, no coming off as needy. There's the possibility he'll say it's not the right time or they're working on something together - that's fine too, at least you know why. If you join in just play a game or two unless you really feel your gelling with them. Whether you stick around or drop out follow it up with.

    "Good game guys, thanks for letting me drop in."

    The next time they're online it'll be easier for them to include you or you to ask to be in again.

  • My DIY home cockpit for Elite Dangerous (version 2)
  • Do Games like this have the ability to control the status indicators? It's not a feature I've seen before but very cool if it can be done. I love this whole thing and will definitely be reading your write-up... Even though I don't have a gaming rig, time to play any games or the money for any of it!

  • Stacks for Simple Static Sites
  • Just last week I decided to try a different tech than I'm used to to run up a site. I did a little research then searched GitHub and found Hugo. I read the Hugo docs, followed their beginners guide and... Didn't get fucking anywhere. Their docs are out of date, the examples are out of date. It looked so promising but my brain works best when referencing examples and when I couldn't even get those to work, well, I don't have time for that these days.

    If anyone knows another static site generator with up to date documentation and an easy to run up example please let me know.

  • Stop being elitist, spread Linux!
  • Auto Hot Key, that's something I haven't heard of in a while. Probably because it's not as essential in a Linux environment when you can more easily accomplish most of what you'd accomplish using AHK in a shell script. What problem are you trying to solve using AHK? Someone might be able to tell you how to solve it.

  • Why would one crave pleasure, food and entertainment when they should be productive and how does one go about stopping it?
  • I got some counselling, then on the anti depressants, they were the first step - let me see why I should do something different, but then I got onto the ADHD meds and they let me focus. It took a while, had to work out what worked for me but once I got it it was the answer I needed. They're not the solution for everyone, but if you haven't tried at least talk to someone about it.

  • When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it's communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg?
  • Pretty much, but I think originally it didn't even have subreddits. What set it apart from digg was really the community and comments - the quality of which were much better than digg. Similarly to Lemmy it was originally much more tech related too.

  • Retroid Pocket 2S
  • I'm really keen on getting one of these handhelds but there are just so many I've got no idea what to choose. I wish someone would make a spreadsheet with things like cost, screen format, max console emulation generation, maybe aggregate reviews or top comments or something.

  • The Daily Checkin for Thursday September 7th - Just for Today, We are NOT Drinking!
  • Day 7! Yesterday was really rough - super stressful day and the only way I knew to deal with it was drinking. Instead I gritted my teeth and went to bed early. I've got to learn some new coping strategies, but yesterday proved I can cope.

  • Low End Gaming @lemm.ee BangersAndMash @lemmy.world
    Nethack - the ultimate low end system capable game

    Nethack is now 36 years old, still in development, runs on windows, Linux, Apple and a multitude of other systems. You can run it in a console, remotely, if you don't have the ability to install or download to your computer. It's complex, difficult, entertaining and will soak up any free time you have.

    I've played it on and off for a decade now and never made it past half way and have always learnt something new.

    Play in browser: https://alt.org/nethack/hterm/ Telnet: alt.org port 23 SSH: nethack@alt.org Download: https://www.nethack.org/

    Have you got the Amulet of Yendor? Any stupid deaths? Surprising finds?
