Until the kids grow up a bit and then it can be bonding time. My kids are in early teens now and we have been playing video games together for years now

LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Putin facing new 'invasion' as 1m-strong antelope swarm destroys Russia's cropsEnglish7·29 days agoProbably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Games@lemmy.world•Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'English130·2 months agoI don’t think it’s just “time to cook”, pretty sure the devs having actual passion behind it also helps a lil bit.
Big corpos going just for the numbers are really good at stomping out all of that
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone know where I can find more songs like this?1·3 months agoI think this would fit the bill pretty well Apashe - Lord and Master Somewhat more dubstep leaning, but it has the classical side. Oh just noticed someone else already rec’d them and you alteady knew them anyway.
Maybe E Nomine if you’re not familiar with them already? For example Mitternacht Mitternacht
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'English14·5 months agoYup, that and pushing “exclusive” bs in general made sure I will never use Epic.
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approachingEnglish281·5 months agoM$ ended win7 support in January 14, 2020. Steam did not end win7 support until January 1 2024. M$ ending support for their OS does not mean Steam will do so anytime soon. Considering how small number of their users has updated, there’s a good chance Steam will keep supporting win10 for many more years. By that time I know I will no longer be using Windows.
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump administration tests the power to email every federal employee at onceEnglish34·5 months agoMark as spam
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Please help resolve a disagreement in our home3·7 months agoYour junk drawer game is weak. We have 3 of them in the kitchen and the least bad of them is worse than that.
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto ADHD@lemmy.world•CBD oil cured my anxiety and so I lost important part of my ADHD motivation 🤦♀️English7·7 months agoAnxiety as a driving force isn’t really great for your health, so I would be happy to be rid of it. You should look into treating the ADHD itself, could be with a medical professional and trying if there are meds that work for you. One of my kids also has ADHD and we did find some meds for her that help after going through a few options.
You could also try controlling it yourself, this is a bit of mixed bag though and I would recommend exploring the medical options if they’re available for you.
For example, I’m quite a bit older than you and I never got it formally diagnosed, so no meds. I try to keep work and free time as separate as possible. For example during work hours my personal PC is strictly off, I do my work with another PC that only has access to my music and what is required for work, no other media that could distract me. I need to always do something, so basically the work gets done because I don’t have anything else to do. I don’t always stay on the right task, but this works well enough for me.
People and ADHD are both on a wide spectrum, so it’s always a bit of trial and error to find out what works for you
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something non-physical that makes you physically uncomfortable?7·7 months agoWeird flowers and about 50% of all things living in the sea
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you get back into hobbies you've abandoned for years?9·7 months agoAlcoholism (beer/whisky/wine/whatever snob) and masturbating are always good hobbies to have. You could probably wring some “prestige” and profit out of these if you’re so inclined, but I don’t think that’s on the cards for majority of people. As a somewhat proud beer & whisky snob, it’s great hobby for burning your excess money too :)
I never did until one of my kids used it and it did OK. Ours leaves a bit more unpopped kernels than timing it manually, but pretty minor difference.
So the button is being used, especially when the kids wanna do their popcorn.
LNRDrone@sopuli.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation6·8 months agoYeah my youngest kid was on the middle of her second school year when the lockdown started. She was so anxious around people when in person school started again. She’s gotten somewhat better in the past couple years, but still not quite the same.
A game of rampant capitalism
I can’t decide between early Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath or Bal-Sagoth for something newer
