My husband and I really like Wonderbook. It’s a campaign game with several chapters. The theming is a bit childlike sometimes but the mechanics are fun.

We met via tabletop RPGs and that’s what we still do every two weeks but if we’re hanging on Discord it’s mainly Overwatch but also Wildermyth and Mech Warrior.

Currently playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy! I’m also eagerly waiting for Next Fest to start tomorrow to try out various demos.

Currently re-playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy as I got it on Steam during the sale. I played them back in the day on the DS and it’s been a blast. I just checked out Jack Jeanne - it seems to have some sort of skill building aspects to it? I’ve been looking for a stat builder otome but there isn’t much out there.

It’s a native 1080p. If you’re on Facebook, there’s a group called “Projectors for sewing” that has a lot of information, they recommend a min. res of 720p. In the US there’s a big market of second hand projectors but it’s trickier in Europe, which is why I ordered a cheaper new one (Wanbo T2 Max).

Thanks! I’m actually going to swap it out for a Buddha Jewelry Mini Valentina when I downsize. That piece wasn’t in stock when I got the piercing so I’ve been wearing this Industrial Strength Marquise Fan in the meantime. Now the question is what I’ll do with the piece… Maybe a second lobe? Or get another one and wear them in my first lobes. Decisions, decisions!

Yes, I did. It was €150 from Banggood. I personally feel the cost is justified because the alternative is printing hundreds of pages and taping those together, which is high in ink cost and opportunity cost (it takes a while).
However, I do primarily (almost exclusively) use digital patterns so I use the thing very often. If you also use regular paper patterns I would imagine the value might be less.

If I have to pick something, I’d say the thumb clusters. I barely use the top ones in the center because they’re a bit of an awkward reach for my hand size. The bottom ones on the outside are also weird because you’d need to do some finger curl or move your hands. I just ended up mapping the keys I don’t use as much over there and it hasn’t been an issue, but it is some wasted potential :)

I have first lobes on both ears and since last month a helix/flat on my right! I am quite sensitive to nickel so for most of my life, I tried having earrings but always reacted badly. I didn’t get my lobes properly done at a piercer until 2021 and them using titanium helped. My right lobe is still finicky but we’re working on it.

I use it for recipes! I use the iOS app Mela for recipe storage and it has a built-in RSS feed system to follow recipe blogs so you can easily add new recipes to your collection without having to visit all the sites separately.

Sadly sorting on new also has its issues with the auto updates and content getting pushed down automatically. I’m hoping that gets fixed soon.

If I have to pick an absolute favorite, old Neopets. Having the little webspaces there is what got me into coding as a kid and I ended up studying & working in IT.
If I can pick multiple, I’d also add phpbb forums of yore, game guides with ASCII art maps, Flash games, and MSN Messenger.

I tried looking into the printer/plotter services but sadly it’s very expensive in my country, which is why I started on the whole projector adventure in the first place.
Fabric shifting can indeed be an issue. For this stretchy knit I used just two weights but for things that are more slippery, I put weights all over to keep it as flat as possible. Using a rotary cutter also helps a lot.

To get the right size, it’s a matter of selecting the right layer on the pdf. I usually have to make adjustments due to my waist-hip ratio and I use Inkscape to edit the files. A lot of indie pattern makers have started supporting projector friendly files. In terms of distortion, you always start with a calibration phase where you project a grid (usually in inches) and adjust pdf zoom & project settings (in case of skew) until the grid matches your physical measuring tool (mat, ruler,…). Then it’s a matter of noting down the zoom percentage and opening any pattern pdf at that same percentage. These files often come with a small little grid on the side as well for a quick double check.

Ahh this is so precious!
What resources would you recommend for others who would like to start learning Blender?

Although I’m a bit sad about no plans for Apollo for Lemmy, I definitely get the reasoning he gives - a double heartbreak is the last thing I’d wish on him. I got the Pixel Pals app (yay, cute raccoons!) to show support for his work & the challenges lately.

Yeah, I also will be staying on Lemmy. There’s bugs and performance issues but the quality of conversation is better and interaction feels genuine. There’s also actual possibilities to contribute instead of getting lost in a sea of rehashed comments.
The main thing that is missing now (and I assume will remain missing) are the hobby communities, especially those aimed at non-techies, like sewing, cross stitch,… I feel the people there aren’t going to bother with figuring out Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse… because they tend to be less tech savvy.

The whole bot comments accusing bot comments of being bot comments surely was intriguing. And that’s with them copy-pasting existing comments - wonder how many “users” are GPT bots lately.

Yeah, their interview with Christian Selig was an interesting read as well: Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted

I wonder if the comments about no significant revenue drop still holds true today. I was quite surprised to see that there doesn’t seem to be too big a drop in posts & comments (~1k) aside from the crash yesterday. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/
