It's a running trend on this community that it tends to become quieter over the Xmas season and also there tends to be less people around during the summer. We had a Jackbox session in the first few weeks of June and only 6 people total showed up, also the last Lix session in May had a low turnout.

I'm home too and it was a great day in Leeds overall, very happy with the fact that 8 of us met up today which is at least double any other meet up we've accomplished in the forum's history.

I got to the train station rather early and thought it was a good idea to hold my Lemmings plush to help everyone find me but Pooty and Crane were already there and didn't make themselves known to me for a while, Stewozere turned up a short while after that. We noticed Proxima and tanxdx over by the WHSmiths entrance and they eventually came over. WillLem and Kingshadow showed up not too long after that so it wasn't too bad getting everyone together

We went to the Lego store almost immediately which I didn't expect, WillLem bought me a Sonic Lego minifigure keyring which I'm very thankful for, he's awesome. I also bought a new Sonic Lego set which released this month, the only one I wanted in the recent releases.
We then went for lunch at a place I've never tried and tried the Chicken Katsu curry which I had with chopsticks, didn't expect the chopsticks, nice touch! We split the bill evenly 8 ways.

We also went to 2 very niche stores which had a great board game community and manga collection. One of the stores had an art fair in the basement where we had the group pics taken.

Eventually we ended up in a cafe in the Waterstone's book shop, where I showed everyone my Lemmings Ports Book. A PDF of this book has been available for free online for a period of time but there was a special charm to holding the real deal book and looking at it around the table with the group. I also showed my 2 Lemmings adventure books.
We spent several hours in this cafe, which Stewozere had to leave about halfway through to get his train. Eventually after hours of programming talk, maths talk and puzzles, we all walked back to the train station.

Proxima, tanxdx, Crane and WillLem said their goodbyes and myself, Kingshadow and Pooty remained at the train station. I waited with Kingshadow and Pooty until they got their trains then went home myself. Great day overall, it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed my first time in Leeds City Centre, everyone was very nice to me and I feel we have become closer as a community

(nine if Lucia joins).

She won't be coming sadly, she was planning on coming but then something came up and she is currently away.

So you'll have to make do with me!

I should be there also. Unknown if Lucia will be accompanying me though.

It's been nearly 2 months since we've had a session now, it's been long enough we feel.

Everyone was very happy to see Jackbox return and the spinner wheels (pictured at bottom of post) myself and Kingshadow made seemed to add to the enjoyment of the session.
Also it was a lot of players' first glimpse at Jackbox Party Pack 9 which came out in Oct 2022.

So let's have another session on Sunday 11th June at 17:00 UTC (18:00 UK time).



We'll be hosting the game on the LF forum discord server using the voice chat rooms (Pillar room/Brick room), voice chat is not essential but recommended for some of the Jackbox games for best results.
The game is brought to you using the discord screenshare feature, we host the game and no downloads or applications are necessary on your end. You just need to go to jackbox.tv to play the game.
Link to the LF forum discord server if you have not already joined https://discord.gg/2MyfSfN

The sessions usually go on until a large amount of players have decided to leave the session, average session length has been around 5 hours, we can go on longer if there is significant demand to though.

Everyone is welcome, it's not just for people who have played before in these sessions!

Myself and Kingshadow will be hosting this session and we'll alternate between hosting throughout the session to cut down on waiting time between games.
We also have access to all 9 of the Party Packs between us.




So who's interested?

Just a reminder, we're still playing this Sunday and I have 10 new maps at the time of writing, including one geoo will love!

Another thing to mention is swimming in Lava/Acid was allowed in NeoLemmix and is not allowed in SuperLemmix, it affects one of my SEB Lems levels.

The Stoner thing isn't a huge fix, it only affects 45 of my levels across all 4 of my NeoLemmix packs (SEB Lems, MegSEGAbytes, Modular Lems and Gotta Go Fast). So that's 45 out of 399 levels, a little over 11% of my levels.

Didn't consider the Direct drop thing though so that may result in more fixes also.

I'll eventually get around to fixing things, I use Stoners in weird ways so I don't think a skill swap is going to suffice, if worse comes to worse though, I'll just not port the level over.

It's been nearly 3 months since the last session so let's have another one.

Opting for Sunday 14th May this time at 17:00 UTC (about 4 hours earlier than the timestamp on this message).
We voice chat during the session on Mumble, you'll need to PM Simon for the Mumble server information.

I have some new maps to play and test also so look forward to seeing you all there
