  • I’m going to throw this idea into the mix. It’s how I’d handle the situation and it’s generally worked pretty well for me. Ideally you’d send a message like this when your friend is online and playing but it really doesn’t matter when you send it.

    “Hey mate, just noticed you and x and y are online. Mind if I jump in for a bit? Be great to have a game or two”

    Nice and relaxed, no pressure, no coming off as needy. There’s the possibility he’ll say it’s not the right time or they’re working on something together - that’s fine too, at least you know why. If you join in just play a game or two unless you really feel your gelling with them. Whether you stick around or drop out follow it up with.

    “Good game guys, thanks for letting me drop in.”

    The next time they’re online it’ll be easier for them to include you or you to ask to be in again.







  • Just last week I decided to try a different tech than I’m used to to run up a site. I did a little research then searched GitHub and found Hugo. I read the Hugo docs, followed their beginners guide and… Didn’t get fucking anywhere. Their docs are out of date, the examples are out of date. It looked so promising but my brain works best when referencing examples and when I couldn’t even get those to work, well, I don’t have time for that these days.

    If anyone knows another static site generator with up to date documentation and an easy to run up example please let me know.
