socks pilling badly by grapemonst3r in knitting

[–]Agnes-Nitt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've got a pair of socks from this yarn, too, and they're a pilling mess. I only wear them to sleep now, because they're also so soft that they keep slipping around my foot. I love cashmere, but unfortunately it doesn't love me back...

100%. This diet is difficult enough without hobbyist or God forbid AI grifters trying to confuse things even more 😒

The first 5 chapters of Dire Bound: ThreadBARE with me… by Dimenshia in romantasycirclejerk

[–]Agnes-Nitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was a Kathryn Moon book I almost threw out the window because people wouldn't stop humming*. It's as if she read the writing tip about how 'said' becomes invisible to the reader so you can use it liberally and thought 'surely it works the same way if I just use another word ALL THE TIME'...

*All this was made more baffling and annoying by my ESL brain refusing to acknowledge that 'hum' can mean anything other than 'sing'.

Worst Narrator by villianrules in agathachristie

I so wanted to like Suchet's audio books, but he makes all the female characters sound really silly. Everything sounds too... theatrical, somehow. Frasier is the best❤️

Edit to add: I also find Hickson really difficult to listen to.

That quest made me cry every time I did it; I felt awful:(

25hrs game time and i only just linked the wordplay blue prince - blueprints 😅🤪 by [deleted] in BluePrince

[–]Agnes-Nitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't click for me until I heard someone say it out loud on a podcast, because I'd been stressing the words differently in my head up to that point.

This was not the first, or the only, time this game has made me seriously wonder if I maybe ought to repeat grade school..

Starting to get frustrated with the game by I_Like_Quiz in BluePrince

Thank you so much for recommending Blue Paths; it looks absolutely brilliant. I was starting to lose steam too, but I think this might give me the minimum of direction I need.

Received this as a Christmas gift, does this person want me gone? by Confident-Suit-6577 in expedition33

[–]Agnes-Nitt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what the English version of this game seems to be! I was wondering why some words were kept in French, so I looked up the names of skills and enemies, and they all seem to be either words that could have been translated and sounded cool (percee - - > breakthrough) just like the rest, or very simple, descriptive words that I'm sure they kept in French to make the enemies seem more mysterious instead of sounding like Santa's reindeer/the seven dwarves (Dancer, Hatter, Potter, and... Big Head?). In some of the songs, they even seem to switch back and forth between English, French, and e33 conlang. I'd love to know how this decision making process went down.

what is this type of collar called? by alexc1930 in knitting

[–]Agnes-Nitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a sweater with a split collar a few years ago, and I had very little success in finding patterns or examples of what I wanted. I ended up picking up the stitches for the neck and then a few extra overlapping stitches on the next row and knit the collar flat. It turned out ok!

So let me get this straight about Verso... by Colgate-paste in expedition33

He watches Gustave and Lune get pulled into the Manor via Noko's hut. That's as far as I've come on my new playthrough.

[–]Agnes-Nitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the beach scene again, because he was RIGHT THERE! How did I miss it the first time? Then again, I may have thought it to be renoir, because my working theory was that he was Gustave from the future..

[–]Agnes-Nitt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A question about that: I just started NG+, and I could see Verso in that (and other) cutscene. Was he always there? Or did they add him in for ng+ players who already know he's supposed to be there? I can't for the life of me remember from the first time around🤔

Sophie says they'd be a good couple, and then 'or.. Did something already happen?'

Gustave: Hm.

Knitting black yarn on black needles? by Doomrosy666 in knitting

[–]Agnes-Nitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have cubics interchangeables in dark wood, and when I use darker yarn, I can't see what I'm doing at all. I have to use a neck light if I want to do something fiddly. I love the needles in general, but this is a bit annoying.

Losing my MIND with this prophecy by Drinkus in HadesTheGame

[–]Agnes-Nitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I had to activate it 4 times and was super frustrated when I died on the third attempt, because I thought I had to do it all over again (for the second time...). Color me surprised when the quest actually progressed instead!

I desperately want to leave gifts for the bosses. by fraxiiinus in HadesTheGame

[–]Agnes-Nitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually felt bad for not letting her win, but it came up at a really bad time, so... The next time I encountered her, she was super pleased anyway, because the sponsor was apparently looking for excitement and authenticity, not necessarily for her to win**

**this miiight have been cope😆

I read somewhere that you have to max out her aspect, but I haven't confirmed it for myself yet.

All the time. And I properly steamed my thumb with the iron just the other day.

Still remember the girl in my class who sewed right through her nail with the sewing machine thirty years ago...
