Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Anyone got plans for this weekend?

Last weekend I got a Luanti server up running Mineclonia for the kids, so they can play what's basically minecraft but FOSS. They loved it, so I am expecting more of that this weekend.

I will also set up a vote to adopt a new logo for LemmyNZ (again, but a logo made by someone who knows what they are doing) so keep an eye out for that in the meta community if you're a LemmyNZ user.

And I have the annual census in my sights again. Last years was long, lots of questions and great to know answers but I don't think I want as many for this year. Any volunteers to help me refine the list?

Well I'm at home sick with 2 kids so that is a good start to the wife's birthday weekend :(

We have had Luanti set up for ages and the kids love it, running the asuna world https://content.luanti.org/packages/EmptyStar/asuna/

I also have a StarDew Valley server running that they can play collaborative games on

Oh no I hope you're feeling better soon!

I hadn't got too far down the mod track for Luanti, just a furnature mod and a helicopter mod. I had the vehicle mod but the ground has to be flat of the vehicles get stuck 😆

That Ausna world looks awesome, I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

We do a lot of stardew valley too, but that allows split screen co-op so we do up to 4 player with xbox controllers, no need for a server then.
