Does anyone know how to knit?

Or, alternatively, does anyone volunteer to be the recipient of some awful beginner scarves and mittens or whatever under the assumption that I fill that first position.

I'm thinking it's about time for me to pick up a new hobby. Something that doesn't involve beating people up.

Always worth stacking odds in your favour!

You mentioned dice earlier, what kinds of dice games do you know?

[deaddrop]

Craps?

Yahtzee?

Probably I could come up with some others.

[heyciri]

Haven't heard of either of them, do we have the dice to play?

[deaddrop]

Probably. I haven't checked.

You only need two six sided dice for craps, which is a pretty reasonable ask.

You need five for yahtzee, but still seems doable.

[heyciri]

Huh. How many players for either of them?

[deaddrop]

As many as you want, really. Too many probably gets chaotic, but that's part of the fun.

[heyciri]

Good point, should invite everyone, see who shows up for the fun sort of chaos. I don't think we're going to have too much time before the next thing happens, from what I heard announced when you all returned.

[deaddrop]

Probably not.

It can vary a fair amount mission to mission, but... well, it's never actually that long, is it?

[And it hasn't usually been a good sign when it is.]

[heyciri]

Guess it depends on how you look at the time. If you get spat back out, not knowing what's happening, everything feels longer. Then it feels short again.

[deaddrop]

There's a theory that the busier you are, the faster time seems to go when you're living it and the longer it seems when you look back on it in retrospect.

[heyciri]

... That sounds so exhausting!

[deaddrop]

Only if you stop long enough to notice.
