I live an increasingly confusing double life as TeaHands the game dev, and TheGiddyStitcher, multicrafter extraordinaire!
Currently working on my first ever commercial indie game, a minimalist city builder.
All kinds of things really although mostly they’re on my list to learn so I’ll have them one day. Tatting might be my main one for 2024.
(Edit: Forgot the “why”. Mostly because it’s come up twice lately here on Lemmy and I feel left out while other people are making pretty lace)
I do wish I could learn to draw a bit better, to play the piano, and to speak multiple languages. But realistically I don’t have that kind of time so have to go with things that are quicker to pick up!
Figure out what sort of thing you’d like to see, check out the related hashtag feeds. You can follow tags as a good way to get started and follow individual people as and when they pop up with something cool.
I have a really out of the loop question that will probably make me sound like a troll, but really I’m just old and out of the loop:
What exactly are the unique features of Tumblr? as far as I recall it was just a blogging site with support for specific post formats, right? Did it get more complicated than that?
Shoutout to https://botsin.space/@rabbiteveryhour for keeping my feed at maximum fuzziness.
Jes!
(That’s Esperanto for “yes”. It’s pronounced “yes” 😄)
‘Bough’ and ‘bow’ are pronounced the same
Except, of course, when “bow” is pronounced “bow” instead.
Yeah there’s definitely still some gaps. I was weirdly obsessed with scampi as a child and can’t imagine there’ll ever be a good alternative to that, but ultimately I’ve made my peace.
Hope it goes well, sending much moral support your way!
Most recent post there was 2 hours ago. You might have it blocked or something.
To add to Otter’s reply, one of the best ways to keep growing after the initial announcement is simply just to make sure you mention and properly link it whenever it’s relevant to the conversation.
a) Lets people know the community exists and b) gives them a way to go straight there without having to faff about.
Trying to get to grips with the full horror of what my todo list has become while I was basically incapable of doing anything other than wheeze and sleep for the last couple of weeks.
It’s not pretty 😬
BUT a couple days ago I got random act of kindness-ed by a fellow Lemming, and while it has technically added a fair amount of tasks to the list that now need doing asap, it was an amazing thing to do for a stranger and is going to let me move forward with a personal project that means a lot to me. So a long todo list isn’t always terrible, is the moral of this story.
Idk how long it’s been since you last tried (or where you’re from) but I can say as someone who’s been veggie in the UK for over 20 years, every year it’s getting easier to make the switch.
We’re getting new meat substitutes all the time if that’s your thing, there are ever-increasing amounts of veggie and vegan food porn for cooking inspiration, and in a lot of countries you can basically just assume that any given restaurant is going to have at least a couple of veggie-friendly options (wasn’t the case for the US when I was last there but that was in 2015 so has hopefully changed - they even put surprise meat in my egg-fried rice over there)
So if it’s been a while you might find it easier this time round just based on sheer availability of options!
Remember though, it’s ok to do it gradually too you don’t need to go full cold turkey. Reducing meat consumption is a great goal regardless of whether you ever become a full vegetarian or not, and anecdotally I’ve known a couple of people who found telling themselves “I’m just reducing meat, not banning it” made it a lot less pressure and the switch became easier.
Anyway this is getting to be a long comment because I’m avoiding work as per usual. The main thing I wanted to say is GOOD LUCK!
p.s. couple of inspiration communities for you
I seeee! Never heard the finer details of that whole thing (I was young and not super into his stuff anyway). Smart guy though by the sounds of it!
Hope everything goes smoothly and your newfound event planning forte is recognised appropriately!
Could’ve picked something easier to pronounce, though.
…I can’t believe you’ve done this. Holy crap, thank you!
Honestly don’t even know what to say to this. I guess I better get designing a Steam page!
Thanks. This is my first time and it’s honestly been way worse than expected, think I’ll be reverting to hermit mode for a while after this.
Continuing to get over covid, basically get a couple hours every day after waking up when everything feels almost normal and then the breathlessness kicks in and gets steadily worse until bedtime. Absolutely knackered and just sick of it now. On the bright side, today was my first negative test, 2 weeks and a day after first symptoms.
Trying to balance getting back to work with not exhausting myself. Fun times! At least it’s nearly the Christmas hols, or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
On one hand this makes me sad for you, because snow is excellent. But on the other that does mean you live somewhere nice and warm, and as I sit here rolled up in my electric blanket it doesn’t sound so bad.
I hope you get to not only see snow, but experience the satisfying cronch of frolicking in an unspoiled patch :D
This might be the showerthought that’s given me the most to think about ever. Can’t stop thinking about licking my couch, for a start. Well played OP.
