I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here? I'll pay the bills. Period. I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team. DM me.

2-day weekends go too fast. Frankly, it’s just not on.

Follow missions in games can fucking do one tbh. I detest them. 🤬 #gaming

Adolescence is one of the most incredible, scary and gut retching TV shows I think I’ve ever seen. Stephen Graham is an amazing actor. Owen Cooper is incredible for 15 years old too. Watch it. Especially parents. It’s difficult, but just watch it. #tv #adolescence

“Kill the targets with the hidden blade.” I would if they didn’t kill themselves first! 💀 #gaming #assassinscreed

Xbox avoid mentioning the Game Pass price hikes in this video. 🙄 * Essentials: £6.99 per month. * Premium: £10.99 per month. * Ultimate: £22.99 per month. The top tier subscription, with a 50% price increase, no longer seems worth it. I noped out of Ultimate over a year ago anyway […]

It’s dangerous to go alone #plushtodon

When I decided to leave my “EighthLayer” online persona behind, I basically changed all of my usernames across the internet immediately to get rid of it for good. New username wasn’t imaginative; I used my first name and last name stuck together as it’s unique enough to be available everywhere […]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a smaller Xbox controller for children? 🎮 My 5-year-old son struggles with a standard sized one. #gaming #xbox #parenting

Brace yourselves for the usual joke of waking up Green Day is coming in two days.

My 5-year-old son is really getting into Minecraft over the past couple of days. He's been playing on the Xbox in the living room. We tried playing local multiplayer but he gets frustrated with the split-screen and not being able to see as much he normally can. So I had an idea of hosting a […]

Felt better today. Pretty sure I get this feeling more when I’m very tired, and I was yesterday. Stayed up too late on my iPad and then woke up early because my son needed me. So now my iPad stays downstairs so I essentially go straight to sleep when I get into bed. I’m hoping less distractions […]

My son has been in Year 1 for 3 weeks and he’s already getting homework, and we now have 3 separate apps/websites to keep an eye on for homework, book reading, and everything in between. He’s 5 years old! Wtf. #parenting

The feeling of imposter syndrome is high today. 🙃

Finished the main story line for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood today. Now just got to get all of the achievements and then I can move onto Revelations. Plan is to get all of the achievements for The Ezio Collection. :assassinscreed: 🎮 #gaming #videogames #assassinscreed

First Liverpool game for Alexander Isak tonight! Looking forward to seeing what he can do in a red shirt! 🔴 ⚽️ #lfc #fedifc #mastodonfc

Cyberpunk hitting a little close to home here. #privacy #internet #gaming #cyberpunk2077

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]

Hey Chooms. I decided to start playing Cyberpunk 2077 again from the beginning. This time as a Corpo rat and with the Phantom Liberty DLC! Here's a couple of screen grabs, one from the beginning of the game and another of V's... erm... stats! 😄 🎮 #gaming #videogames #cyberpunk2077

I just installed and wired up two Tado Smart Thermostat X devices (with help from a friend) and I’m quite proud of myself. Never done anything like before! I obviously made sure I was safe by using a multimeter to check the electricity was actually off […] [Original post on gamerstavern.online]

Me: Opens a game on my ROG Ally running Bazzite. ROG Ally: “I’m just going to process those Vulkan shaders for the millionth time.” Me: “Oh… Thanks.” 😐 🎮 #gaming #steamos #linuxgaming

Yesterday, I bought No Man’s Sky on ~~CDKeys~~ Loaded. Yeah, that’s a shit rebrand. 🧐 🎮 #gaming #videogames #cdkeys https://gamerstavern.online/@jamie/115105131272198381

Just started replaying Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and you can really see the graphical improvements between each game. These days you just don’t see as many improvements as we used to years ago. 🎮 #gaming #videogames #assassinscreedbrotherhood

I’ve just completed Assassin’s Creed II again and grabbed all of the achievements. Collecting all of the 100 feathers is a chore! 😂 Incredible game though. Infinitely better than the first edition of the series. Looking forward to cracking on with Brotherhood. :assassinscreed: 🎮 #gaming […]

Okay, I need to pick up No Man’s Sky again. 🚀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdkt2rDKnAE 🎮 #gaming #videogames #nomanssky

My wife ordered me this T-shirt from the Liverpool FC store. 🥰🥺😣 🔴 #lfc #diogojota #forever20

Whilst I was deleting everything from Google Photos and Google Drive, I got nervous only having backups to a local external HDD. So I’ve implemented a proper 3-2-1 backup method and now everything is backing up to an S3 bucket as well. Now I have 3 copies of my data, on 2 different types of […]

Fuck you Google for making it so difficult to delete everything from Google Photos. #degoogle

I ordered this nicely designed T-shirt from the Immich store this evening to help support them. It cost about as much as a year’s worth of Google Photos/Drive storage. Money well spent I’d say! #immich #selfhosting

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post) Amazing work by the team 🎉 Expect a blog post with all the […] [Original post on oisaur.com]

@the_gamer_tavern What we found being stable, being running and developed in different flavors since the '88 (hoooooly cow, feels like yesterday...) is IRC. We dabbed with our own hosted server at irc.gamerstavern.online (port 6697) and I must say that, as simple as it could be, it is still a […]

We're discontinuing the hosting of Matrix @the_gamer_tavern Hey everyone. After some thoughts, and then again more thoughts, we decided to discontinue the hosting of our Matrix server at space.gamerstavern.online, and **we will shut down the server at the start of December** , to allow users […]

I scored 14/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Finally cancelled my Google One subscription now that I’m self-hosting Immich and Nextcloud. 😎 💻 #selfhosting #selfhosted

Anyone on the iOS public beta, update! Update now! Performance is much better! 🙌 📱 #apple #ios

Just so people know, I love getting post-edit notifications. I love it when someone cares enough to fix a typo, to make their post just right, exactly how they want it. It just makes me smile. Never be afraid to edit a post that you're not entirely happy with. That's the whole point of an edit […]

The iPadOS 26 multi tasking is awful. Just feels like there is no consistency to how it works, how app windows will snap together with others, or where in each app it can be dragged around from. I’d roll back to the previous version but I know it’ll just be a hassle and it’ll just get released […]

It slipped by without us noticing (or remembering 😅), but a couple of days ago was the first anniversary of The Gamers’ Tavern Mastodon instance! Just a quick post to thank everyone who has joined or supported us in our little adventure into the Fediverse! Here’s to many more years of gaming […]

I’ve been playing games on my Xbox more recently. It’s great that’s it’s been getting more use as since I’ve had my PC the last few years, it barely gets used. The thing I’ve found that bugs me though is I keep needing to resync my Xbox Elite 2 […] [Original post on gamerstavern.online]

I know spiders are supposed to keep other pests away blah blah blah, but to be honest, I don’t have a problem with the other pests. I’d rather the spiders didn’t keep trying to move in!

This Rio Ngumoha kid is very talented isn’t he?! Goal and an assist inside 5 minutes. 🤩 ⚽️ #lfc #fedifc #mastodonfc

The new LFC x Adidas kits are 🔥 Shame I’d have to fork out £150+ if I wanted to get myself and my son one. Maybe not then. 🙃 ⚽️ #lfc #fedifc #mastodonfc

Just installed some Liquid Ass on my iPhone. 😆 📱 #tech #iphone #ios

We meet again, Monday.

I don’t have a problem with most bugs, but wasps? Yeah, they can just piss off and do one. There’s so many of them this year. Can’t leave the windows or doors open for 10 minutes with at least one coming in. 😡
