    Almost everyone in this thread is a terrible host, Jesus Christ.

    Sorry, OP.

    I’ll be naked when you get here. I think I have a strip of bacon left and can make some more French Toast.

    I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck. If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.

    If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.

    If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!

    Welcome to my ADHD life!

        Swapping gas stove for induction. It was a bit delayed because they screwed up capping the gas line, so new install on new circuit. I plugged it in and nothing happened.

        It could be as simple as the breaker is off or there’s some sort of power button on the new stove. I got as far as plugging it in and nothing lit up, then already ran out of time. If it’s something that simple, we get to the beer sooner

          I’ll bring a couple volt meters and a couple gallons of mead… Kroger had a stupid sale on honey so I had them drop ship 15lbs to my house and didn’t know what to do with it.

          12oz bottles are 4.99, 24oz bottles are $2.32… so I just said ship 10… And they delivered the next day for $.95 cents. Can’t say I’ve ever had something delivered and saved money before

    I have a cat that refuses to shut up. Ask him anything, he will scream at you. He will only stop if you ask him about Israel. Sometimes.

    You can hang out in the back yard and hand-feed our 100+ pound giant sulcata tortoise. She’ll come “running” if she sees you have treats (e.g. lettuce).

    You can keep the puppy busy outside so she doesn’t have to worry about “forgetting” and doing that inside (puppies are trouble).

    You can fish off the dock or swim in the pool. At night, I can setup the projection screen and we can watch some old movie out back and roast marshmallows at the fire pit.

    Or you can just hang out with me in my garage/office and lose endless amounts of time watching the 3D printer print something (as is tradition with 3D printing!).

    Also have a rather large robot to play with and an awesome HTPC setup and wifi 7 with 2 gig Internet. Actually, forget all that other stuff; 2 gig Internet is living the dream! 🤣

    We’re BBQing! I’ve got a couple of nice tritips and some some sausages from the local butcher, freshly harvested corn from a local farm, and I’ll make some garlic bread. I’ve got a few beers from my favorite local brewery, an unopened bottle of eagle rare 10 year, and can break out a couple of nice cigars if you’re in to that.

    The temperature on my back patio is a nice, comfortable 77f with low humidity and just enough of a breeze.

        It’s an affair for sure.

        That’s just sort of how I roll. The BBQ was what I was already doing when I answered the question so if a buddy of mine hit me up and was like “hey, what’re your doing? Mind if I come and hang?” I’d just be like “bring your appetite.”

        Came out great too.

    I’ve got a modded Nintendo Wii which plays GameCube games and also does emulation from a large hard drive.

    I also have a ps3 with two gun controllers and Time Crisis Razing Storm combo disc (3 shooting games included). And Killzone 3 which imo, is amazing. Especially with the gun controllers.

    I also have an older xbox 360 white model with backwards compatability that still works somehow (knock on wood). So we can also play original xbox games in addition to Xbox 360 games.

    All of these hooked up to a large flat panel TV on a swivel mount. And with 2 couches. And a fake zebra rug and smart lights for ambience.

    I will entertain you with nostalgia. And couch coop or versus gaming.


    And if we get bored of games. We can watch YouTube or Netflix or whatever.

    Mario Tennis on the N64. Sorry though, we’ll need to play the clay court, as my HDMI adapter for the VGA washes all the colours and makes the ball hard to see on grass.

    that’s not enough warning time and I didn’t get the message, so you’ll be entertaining yourself watching the dogs in the window as I ignore the doorbell
