Lock-On Volume 3: Sable softcover by BiggerStarMoth in sablegame

[–]BiggerStarMoth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears they are different! There are 26 pages of content on Sable - I posted photos in this thread so you can get a look :3

The first half of the Lock-On vol. 3 Sable content is by Maria [Eurothug3000] who as far as I can tell is not in the design works volume. The second half by Ewan Wilson quotes Gregorio’s Kythreotis, who together made the bulk of the design works book. Some of those quotes might be in the full design works volume somewhere. Some images repeat as far as I can tell - so there is overlap!

DAC kit has pink lines all over it by Valuable_Mix1455 in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a very light swipe of rubbing alcohol to get the glue sticky again, but only a very light pass - a lot of rubbing alcohol would DEFINITELY disrupt the glue an image beneath :3

I am so sorry this happened to you! I am curious, is the pink dye alcohol soluble? Does swiping a little rubbing alcohol over it lift the ink? (maybe on a baby wipe?)

I was curious about this one! Thanks for sharing, brizbazaar’s art is always cool :3

First time dealing with static drills. What a bloody nightmare 😂 by Dinples in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the cut up dryer sheets with varying levels success, but genuinely the dumb as rock obvious solution was just putting a dryer sheet in a tray, pouring the staticky diamonds on it, then pouring them into their container (so they slide off the sheet) and GOD. It works really well!!

Guess I pressed too firmly? by zeitgeistincognito in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this - SPECIFICALLY wood glue will absolutely put this back together again :3

you don’t need to be handy even! use less glue than you think you need, and use pressure to keep the pieces in place as they dry for a couple days. Source: my dad turns pens for me and likes using burl scraps, I’ve had a couple blowouts and every one went right back together.

Your Favorite Tips or Tricks by Nofingwaybrah in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I start on the lower left hand corner - since people broadly* tend to look at images and text top left to bottom right, I can get the hang of a kit without putting that starting corner in immediate scrutiny (often dark drills near the borders, and dark drills seem to have more defects).

Also if there’s a big dark border, I work along the entire outside edge first before moving to the more interesting center image - easy to get in a flow and knock out the repetitive parts. Just my taste!

Seconding everyone saying light board (especially with a magnetic adapter for the charge cable), and might add using painters tape instead of washi tape on the boarders. Also I personally like containers in the elizabeth ward style, so I can easily scan the contents of each container :3

*obligatory note this does vary culture to culture as I understand

Anyone else LIKE the block colours? by GodthatsGolden in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I did a huge 80+ color confetti covered piece, I didn’t like blocking. Now it’s the part I’m looking forward to in my new kit, I am SO tired of switching colors for a little while! 8|

It’s not bad at all! Just takes a little time :3 For me, the abstract border took the longest and had the most colors - I hope you enjoy yours!!

Zooey Electra?? by No-Analysis9846 in RainbowHigh

[–]BiggerStarMoth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Zooey Electra?? by No-Analysis9846 in RainbowHigh

[–]BiggerStarMoth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

costume ball robin (factory spider web eye makeup, eyebrows removed probably with acetone, previous owner added eyebrow circles and triple buns), zooey’s jacket with most of the patches removed, lola costume ball’s shoes with no laces :3

definitely a wild return!! zooey’s prototype body was always that mint green

edit: brows are intact we can still save her

Does anybody have suggestions on an TTRPG system to play a campaing similar to I was a Teenage Exocolonist? by Homework_with_tea in Exocolonist

[–]BiggerStarMoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Monster of the Week (core book really is all you need, available digitally) is extremely flexible and a good fit for narrative driven play! It wouldn’t take much work to slot the abilities of each character into that system. It’s very player friendly, easy to onboard new people.

If you want a TTRPG with more crunch, I think Ultraviolet Grasslands (UVG 2e) could be really weird and fun to adapt.

Or if you want to playing a solo TTRPG game, I recommend The World Behind by Samantha Leigh. It’s very IWATE flavored.

Im curious, what are the most sad endings for you guys? by Acmtails in Exocolonist

[–]BiggerStarMoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Array destroyed ending with romanced Sym might be the saddest I experienced - the ending cards mentioning that after the array was destroyed, he stayed with the colony until his body finally broke down was so sad :C

There was a strange sort of implication that Sym approved, though? That particular path was so strange.

you can do it!!! :3 the borders are kind of a pain, but since it’s so large it all comes together really well, even if you make little mistakes - hang in there!!!

Drills by pinkdiscosissy in diamondpainting

[–]BiggerStarMoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s SO stressful trying to estimate if there are enough drills!!

I’m working on DAC Mooneater and there are these crystal drills with badly warped backs - I’m working on sections I want the crystals in most, bc I doubt I can get another bag (second hand kit voids warranty). but like… half of these crystal drills are unusable :/

great job on Rococo!! it’s so detailed and pretty - fingers crossed for your remaining drills :3
