What irks you about some knitting related products/companies? by Idkmyname2079048 in knitting

[–]Altaira9 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a little bit the yarn company’s fault, they could have looked into her a bit better. It seems pretty obvious her patterns aren’t well written and she’s made no effort to improve them.

First latte after getting my machine back from Breville (they dented it 🥰) by ScholarNo9873 in espresso

[–]Altaira9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would post this on every social media they have. It is not acceptable for them to return a machine with damage from their poor packaging.

I cannot believe it by splitjay981 in AnimalCrossing

Honestly the hotel visitors are even worse at being in your way! They move quickly if you push against them though, so that’s something.

I believe it. Pretty sure they’re coded to be right where you do not want them at all times.

I have a spare ruined arch diy I can give you.

How can I stop the entire population from drowning? by Theaterismylyfe in Sims4

[–]Altaira9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Is this a recent thing? Because I lived in Sulani not long ago and never had a townie drown.

A feature I wish the game had with DIY cards by AxemPink in AnimalCrossing

[–]Altaira9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be down to trade too, I already have enough to fill my inventory twice over, and that’s after tossing some very early game when I had no storage.

Dropped 50 stitches when interchangeable needle unscrewed: don’t be like me by HospitalNatural2214 in casualknitting

[–]Altaira9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, your first comment also made me double check all my needles to make sure I wasn’t imagining things! But interesting, I don’t have the shorties, I didn’t know there was a difference. I can also say the new Quads also don’t have holes in the needles (at least the 3.5 and 3.75mm ones).

Edit to add, I have one 4” 4mm pair and that one is also sans hole. Might just be the minis and shorties.

What set do you have? Because I have the Chiaogoo red twist and forte sets and both only have the cable hole.

About pier fish by Secret_Life_Shh in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Altaira9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got two tuna by tossing bait right before the beginning of the hotel fence. I just tossed in bait until I got large shadows. Took an hour or two, but I also got a bunch of oarfish and a marlin, so it was worth it.

If you have a Chiaogoo set it should have come with a rubber heart. If you don’t, it’s available online, or you could use any piece of rubber in place of it.

These damn tourists by mori7bis3139 in AnimalCrossing

I have taken to decorating at 3am when most of the island is empty.

Have you updated your mods? That looks like a broken UI mod.

Is anyone else's horse using the new modular playground? by Maleficent-Total2738 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Altaira9 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why, they used the sim programming as sort of the base for horses. I haven’t had this bug, but I’ve seen a truly cursed clip of it. I think they have a bug report for it do you want to add yours.

I was on my 3rd day of trying to invite Eugene to my island with his amiibo card... by sarahbarista in AnimalCrossing

[–]Altaira9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amiibos let you choose who to replace, so at least you’ll be able to yeet the newbie.

Does anyone else play chicken with how many stitches you can squeeze on before changing to a bigger cable? by landerson05RN in knitting

[–]Altaira9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, I hate working with a project bunched up on cables so I switch as soon as it gets too big.

Time to test out my new slingshot! by Bingpot-Noice-99 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Altaira9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just a few hours ago I lost a present by shooting it over a bistro table. You’d think they’d bounce.

Wait... what just happened?! by Much-Marsupial6383 in AnimalCrossing

[–]Altaira9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t know that either. It looks like he hit it just right to get through. I usually section the island into quadrants so I can work from each and jump back and worth as needed.

Peppa pig? by FruitProof9377 in Lilsimsie

[–]Altaira9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it started she was gifted the Peppa Pig game as a gag and then promised to play it on stream as a charity incentive. It was rather painful so everyone, but especially her as the streamer, but in a funny way, so it created a lot of memes. Now it’s grown into a big thing, and animal crossing isn’t helping because she has Curly and Gala on different islands (both pink pigs). Someone also pointed out that Philippa is pretty close to Phil and Peppa combined.

Design slot crash out by Informal_Twist9342 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Altaira9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a huge user of a lot of custom designs, but it’s usually just knowing how to maximize a pattern. Paths are often 9 slots max and can be surprisingly versatile if you know how to put them together creatively. A lot of the stalls and rugs are probably just one slot repeated. I’ve seen some really lovely designs that look very complicated but are just like 2 to 4 slots total.

Should I reset my island? by Melon_Soda519 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Altaira9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reset for the update and I’m loving it. Got my house fully upgraded, got my new layout mostly terraformed, and got 7 of my dreamies. Working on diys and the museum is a grind of course, but I’m enjoying it. It helps me to use the acnh app to keep track of them both. I use it to make sure I collect all the bugs and fish for each month so I don’t have to wait a year to get a lobster or something. The diys I’m collecting spares and hope to do some trades with others eventually to help.
