What's the funniest WiFi network name you've seen?
I've got "Little Silhouetto of a LAN" and "Caught in a LANslide" for the 5 and 2.4ghz

How do you walk the line between not wanting to impose on the host and understanding they want the space to show their hospitality?
When accepting a favor would impose a financial burden, I usually push back twice and then relent. (1) "Are you sure, I can absolutely get this?" (2)"It's really not a problem, I don't mind paying." If they're still insisting at this point, I'll pack down, especially if it's obvious they're trying to do a nice thing.
I used to be more reluctant to accept that sort of help from folks, but there's a quote from the Thomas Covenant series that goes something like "in accepting the gift, one honors the giver." It's kinda stuck with me since I read it; let people give you gifts, it makes them feel good. Graciously accept, and think about how to pay it forward/back.

Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Can also recommend this game, it's a cute and fun coop that can get kinda frantic at times. The kids love playing it with us

what are your silly character ideas?
I'm actually very proud if this one. I made a Kenku warlock for a one shot whose background was that he had previously been an actor in a traveling troupe that performed "The Great Wars of the Astral Plane." Being a Kenku, he only spoke in quotes from the play, which he mimicked perfectly.
For the entire night, I only communicated via Star Wars soundboard. It was glorious.
His name? Ujheddye the Fourth. "I am Uhjeddye (a jedi)...like my father before me."

What moment from a video game made you cry?
Ori and the Will of the Wisps has some great emotional moments that are complemented by a fantastic soundtrack. Learning about Shriek's backstory after being hunted by her the entire game was just too much.

Yeah but according to all the stuff I've read on various sites, each house has two colors
Gryffindor: gold and red Hufflepuff: black and yellow Slytherin: silver and green Ravenclaw: blue and bronze

Offline apps for when you have 5 minutes to kill?

I love this app. It's got like 3 dozen different games, all of which you can scale in difficulty, and works great offline. It is my go to bathroom diversion.

Yeah that one is absolutely my favorite, with Gryffindor as second. I do like how the translucent green on Slytherin let's you see the swirling silver inside. And just like the Hogwarts House itself, the Hufflepuff dice was...fine...

Yeah I'm real pleased with the results. Took me awhile to get the process down, if I poured right after mixing the colors just sorta blended together. I ended up mixing both colors, letting the resin sit for like 40 minutes, and then pouring. Kept them distinct while still allowing them to flow well enough

Nice! Those color charts are great, I might print them out so I can try to match the colors as I mix inks and powder.
I've got plenty of gold powder and something called copper but is actually more brown. I'll try with those, see what turns out

Interesting idea, never done this before, always interested in learning. Just watched a quick video on using blanks, you can get some pretty cool effects! Unfortunately I don't have access to blank inserts now, I suppose those could go on my wishlist ha..
