Video games and other things to pass the time!

Here lately for me I have been doing a lot of guitar, outdoor cleanup (Had a tornado come through last week, just a small one though. Tore the roof off our chicken coop and destroyed my grandfather’s fishing cabin and left a few trees on the fence.) and also I have been learning to flint-knap (with glass, so it’s really glass-knapping).
Other than that I have been watching @SquirrelTail , @Grifflyer and @The Hangar insult each other 😂, it’s quite amusing.

War Thunder is a blast, especially when you've got a gaming buddy like Tristan! If you're looking to mix things up, have you ever considered trying Minecraft? It's a whole different world of creativity and you can even play Minecraft free if you're on a budget! Happy gaming, and here's to finding new adventures!

Oooh yeah‼️‼️Do you know Tristan? I love playing with him… we could just play all day. Minecraft is a great idea I’m a bit busy right not so I’m not really able to right now.

Honestly, I tried to understand what people find appealing about Minecraft, but I just couldn't get it. And the 90s style graphics don't impress me. I played games like that as a kid. Now I want something more visually appealing. If I use an emulator to play old games for nostalgia, it’s just for a couple of hours. I prefer simulators or at least something more realistic.


Games should be diluted. After visit this page I have a 3 dollar deposit casino list that suits me. My personal variety of adrenaline.

Have you ever tried shaders?

I know someone that's leaning flint-knapping a long hard process... Not for me I don't have quite enough patience, but have fun!

When I’m not busy, video games are my go-to too. Lately, I’ve been playing CS2 and hunting for some cool skins. I like browsing around for new ones at https://skin.land/ . It’s a fun way to pass the time, especially when I’m not in the mood for something more hands-on like designing or building. Keeps things interesting for sure.

My son got a PS5 and it came with a free version of Astro Bot. Highly addictive for both of us and I completed all the challenges. Now that the full game is released, He has the PS5 at college. D'OH!

Recently I've ended up getting into nerf with a bunch of buddies, being the adult children that we are. Needless to say we're taking it way too seriously and there's a bit of a heated arms race currently. I picked up one of the new Adventure Force Pro guns and have been doing some mods. Here's what I started out with:

And here's what I ended up with:

All my external parts came in first so I haven't touched the internals yet, it performs very well out of the box though. I have an improved spring on the way and may add a rifled SCAR barrel to tighten up my groupings a bit, I'll hide it in the suppressor.

It's mostly Worker parts but the suppressor is from an airsoft gun, I drilled it out with a forstner bit to fit over the flash hider. I milled out a wooden block to fit inside a Retaliator stock adapter and bolted it to the receiver, there's just enough space behind the plunger with some sanding to fit a decent nut. I epoxied a picatinny rail under the barrel and bolted it to a wood block inside the shell for structure, then fitted a Worker grip. I didn't have any weapons like that when I was a kid. We played war with sticks. Later, cheap pistols with round yellow bullets appeared, which hurt when they hit. Then there was progress, but I grew up, and my interests in games changed. Then I played shooters on the computer, and later, everything in a row. I also started getting into gambling, it was interesting to read even about uk casinos owners at https://gamblizard.com/blog/uk-casinos-owners/ - for a general view of this area, it's interesting. For now, I've stopped at this point in games. Let's see what happens next. But I know for sure that I will not stop playing.

I can say the stock really makes this gun easier to use. The spring is very stiff so having something to brace against your shoulder is nice, especially since I have a bigger one (16kg?) on the way.
I wish I had a machine gun like that when I was a kid. I would have been the coolest.

It’s a great way to unwind and get competitive. But I also like to dabble in hobbies like graphic design and collecting rare skins in games. It’s pretty fun to build up a collection, and the cool part is you can actually make some money by trading skins.

If you’re into that, SkinsMonkey is a great platform to check out. It makes skin trading easy, and you can even earn some money while playing.

Aside from gaming, I’ve been trying out DIY projects like customizing old tech or working on model kits, kind of like your lightsaber designing.
