Bring your computers to play games throughout the night, play Nintendo Switch, experience VR in Meta Quest 2 and play board games! 🎮 🎲 Vi will play games like Lethal Company, Jackbox and Pico Park together, or you can play whatever you want with others at the LAN.
Note: In the form there's also a possibility to fill in that you want you computer transported with the chapter car to the LAN.
Practical info Snacks and drink (alcohol free) will be available for free, and Billy pizzas sold. Alcohol and drunkenness in META will not be allowed. As usual no nuts either, to respect those with allergies.
Bring an ethernet cable (3+m recommended) and a branch outlet if you can. You’re not allowed to sleep in META but there will be places to sleep in Annexet in Nymble during both nights, so bring a sleeping bag too if you’ll be sleeping there.
