@DJ_Purchache@Targaryen thanks! I’d play… maybe make an ass out of myself, but I’d play! I wouldn’t want to take up anyone’s spot though, so if there’s enough room I’d give it a shot
@tnhillbillygal Currently I only watch Overwatch League mostly or a couple other streamers. Usually too busy playing but I was thinking of getting in to it as well. Truth be told I don’t know my info off the top of my head but when I get back I’ll leave it here for you.
@DJ_Purchache ok. Guess I wasn’t following along very closely to this thread as I figured I wouldn’t be able to participate anyway.
Next time maybe have instructions. Ex:
At 1pm Central, go to twitch page (link) Tip: be ready to write down a group code
Go to jacksack website (link)
Once you hear the group code in the twitch stream, enter it on the jacklinks website (instructions on where to enter)
How to play game and/or spectate instructions go here
@medz usually the twitch stream is embedded in the thread and it is fairly self explanatory from there. It says go to Jackbox.tv and enter code xxxx to play.
It sounds complicated without the stream in front of you but it’s easy when you see it.
The thing that may be good is the “at 1pm CDT” part - advance notice of when to show up. They did say around noon today and I happened in and the thread being freshly posted on reminded me.
@DJ_Purchache@medz When we did game night, I had instructions along with the twitch stream embedded. This was pretty spur of the moment, so things weren’t as prepared.
@djslack I noticed the stream after it was already in progress, but saw no instructions. Nobody could be late else they wouldn’t know how to join. (which may have been the intention, I suppose)
@medz ah, yeah, if you aren’t there at the beginning when the players are joining and don’t know the drill then the four letter code isn’t helpful. I understand now. @ThomasF had it covered with his Sunday game night instructions post, that’s pretty useful.
Google indicates this is some sort of game. Any idea of the time/concentration commitment this will require to participate?
@medz Really depends which Jackbox game they play. I have played the Trivia game without being near my computer a couple of times.
@medz @tnhillbillygal is right. Some of the games take longer depending on how many people are playing. I’d estimate 20-30 minutes?
I’m ready! Either day works here!
Maybe? That’s not helpful I know.
Run it on Eastern time, and give me some time to figure out what the games are, and I’d consider it.

I would love to, but my job requires time during the day from me for some reason.
@jst1ofknd Well that’s a shitty job
@mfladd
It pays the bills.
Daytime is hard, mostly for the reason @jst1ofknd mentioned. But if I see it’s live and I’m not in the middle of something I may pop in.
We still on for today?
Yes we are definitely going to be playing. Be there or be… Meh. Something like that.
@Targaryen Will you be streaming the play screen on Twitch?
@Targaryen @tnhillbillygal Yup!
@DJ_Purchache @Targaryen Is there a Meh twitch link? I did a community search but didn’t find one.
@Targaryen @tnhillbillygal There is. @thomasf do you have that?
@DJ_Purchache @Targaryen @tnhillbillygal
I like games! I don’t know what jackbox is (I’m not in the cool person loop), but I like games!!
@LemonTheCat Jackbox is a collection of funny trivia or madlibs style games that you can connect to via your phone or computer
@DJ_Purchache @LemonTheCat Yup and if you aren’t a direct contestant you can still interact as the audience which is a great feature.
@DJ_Purchache @Targaryen thanks! I’d play… maybe make an ass out of myself, but I’d play! I wouldn’t want to take up anyone’s spot though, so if there’s enough room I’d give it a shot
@DJ_Purchache @LemonTheCat fun! I want to join, can I do it from my phone?
@LemonTheCat @moonhat You sure can! @thomasf posted the twitch below.
I don’t know what that is either but the term jackbox is making me crave those French toast sticks…
@ThomasF And we’re live!
@Targaryen BTW, I am RedPandaNami on Twitch like I am in Fortnite.
@tnhillbillygal I’ll add you to my friends list later. Do you stream anything?
@Targaryen Only once. I would like to get into it though. I really enjoy watching streamers. Be sure to link yours as well!

GG Y’all! This was fun but I gotta go be an adult
@djslack congrats on the win!
@DJ_Purchache vielen dank.
DJSlack wins again because he’s DJSlack
@ThomasF Damn Skippy!
I also lose because I’m djslack.
Thanks for showing up everyone!
That was fun!! thanks for letting me play
even though my phone had some sort of major mishap on the last round.
i’d gladly play again sometime!
That was fun.
Was the link to the game ever posted here or was that given out on the twitch stream?
@medz we let people snag it from the twitch stream.

@djslack @medz It won’t be the last time, but it’ll be smoother next time.
