Yup! I got the Speedball Speedy-Carve pink blocks, the interchangeable carving tools from Flexcut and the Speedball soft brayer. For the ink I used the Speedball fabric ink. It was very fun going through the whole process!
There are cheaper options for the carving tools but the ones I tried were just not working for me so I opted for the more expensive Flexcuts and they were so worth it.
Those looks really great! I have a pair that has been starting at me for about a year now too still waiting to be finished… I’m hoping they will come out as well as yours one day.
I just went through a loss myself. My boy was 17 and I had him since he was a kitten and honestly it still hurts many months later. There is no easy fix. I still start crying at random times if I happen to see his favourite toy or a picture of him. You just need to let it run its course I think and slowly it gets better, just be there for your partner and offer support and hugs.
It’s on sale right now on switch (which is where I played the first as well) but not on steam.
I played through Far: Lone Sails and really enjoyed the light puzzle and management of the machine. It was super atmospheric and I really loved the game overall. It was a perfect casual game that really absorbed me into it. Going to play the sequel as well soon.
Looks amazing! And yeah making a lace scarf is definitely a commitment. I made one and gave it away as well because I too realized I don’t wear lace scarves either, plus it never gets cold enough where I currently live. But it still looks beautiful and you should definitely be proud!
I know what you mean. I think it’s partly because it’s based on D&D which tends to skew very male-heavy and the whole cast is a bunch of old men as well so it has that effect. I did enjoy it a bit more than you but I have yet to continue with the next book (which does seem like it might be better?)
There is also the inverse of the book called Queens of the Wyrd by Timandra Whitecastle which I have but haven’t read yet. Might be what you’re looking for!
I just read Comfort Me With Apples last night and was a bit disappointed. I’ve heard a lot of good things and I did like it a lot until the end when all the strangeness came together into a reveal… and it was just a bit too religious based for my liking. It was clever and the prose was beautiful but I was hoping for something else I guess.
I do Halloween reads all year! I also just really like horror in general so I tend to pick them up a lot. There are a lot of different subgenres of horror as well so it’s hard to recommend stuff without knowing your specific preferences, but here are some that I’ve read recently and liked.
If you want creepy occult you can try:
If you want creepy atmospheric:
If you want messed up horror:
If you want classic horror:
I haven’t played Outer Wilds but from what I know of it it should be similar. The Forgotten City is based on real world history though which was pretty interesting and it’s much more compact than what I’ve heard of Outer Wilds. It look me maybe ~7h to finish it fully, but can definitely be done faster too.
What a beautiful overachiever! I wouldn’t even be mad if it didn’t produce any fruit.
Thank you! I am super happy with it!
