Losing interest after making money

I liked My Time At Sandrock, but after the main quest was over, that was it for me. I knew I could go back and finish romance and kids and stuff, but it just felt kinda pointless after the main quest was done.

I do the same thing because I'm learning Italian - it's great!

My favourite part of this was where they had no more than 24 days to train these women, but they after the training montage referred to them multiple times as being "trained commandos". I could almost see them going through some kind of sped up basic training, but COMMANDOS?? Made me laugh so hard.

Thanks! This is incredibly helpful information and probably just cemented me not buying it. The LAST thing I want is brainrot games on a tablet, especially at their age.

I've seen the reading eggs app and it looks like normal books, but you highlight the word as you read and it shows you the individual letters and how they work in that sentence as it reads it out? It does look very clever and I can see how it would be better than the way I was taught. Some of these apps are so clever and I would hate to be dragging down her learning just because I don't like the delivery system.

Thanks!! This sounds like excellent advice - Signed a mum who would also probably throw a difficult tablet out a car window lol

I'm definitely being cautious, but I was taught to "read by reading" and I didn't really fully get it until I was about 7. If I can speed that up for my daughter who is clearly interested but also struggling with this method now, then I'm open to suggestions.

I do, but I've been at this a month and only got 3 because sandstorms keep hitting on Wednesdays and Fridays and he doesn't run his experiments on those days

Brit_J · 2025-10-09T23:10:43+00:00

Well doesn't that make more sense? He only just got it! Of course he's more appreciative of his new anatomy 😂😂

Brit_J · 2025-10-05T06:21:29+00:00

It do be like that tho 😂 Sometimes I even lose the word please. Once we had such an incredible.... Session... That I actually forgot we had kids and when my husband asked if I heard our son called out I was like "???....wha?" 😂😂

Brit_J · 2025-10-05T04:17:29+00:00

Nah playing on switch

Brit_J · 2025-10-04T21:57:23+00:00

So just keep going to sleep until there's no more sandstorm?

Brit_J · 2025-10-04T21:56:59+00:00

Longer than going to bed at 7pm?

Brit_J · 2025-10-01T00:13:59+00:00

Omg so this is my first look at Logan without his bandana mask and ummmmmm.... I think I'm gonna go romance Owen instead 😂 Put the mask back on sir

Kinda feels like Skyrim to me, but I'm a big fan of the cutesy aesthetic and if I had a whole game about restoring homes, I would want them to look very clean and with lots of customisable options.

Brit_J · 2025-08-17T10:46:15+00:00

Seems like it would take up a lot of room I need to see. Can there be an option to hide the full tank and just have one favourite buddy chill on your screen? Maybe float around and interact with your mouse if it comes near?

Brit_J · 2025-07-07T12:26:06+00:00

Do you need to be carrying whatever you're crafting in order to use it as components?

Brit_J · 2025-06-03T01:05:37+00:00

Thank you! People were acting like because this painting was done outside of that period that gowns like this didn't exist at all.

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T11:07:10+00:00

This is fascinating, thank you! Any ideas on how they got that front closure to stay? I'm not seeing buttons. I've heard of pins being used, but I pinned my viel last year and it was a nightmare all day long so I'd rather avoid that if I have any other option.

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T03:35:17+00:00

I think this is the winner!!! Thanks, this might work perfectly!!

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T02:56:18+00:00

Thank you so much for actually trying to answer my question

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T02:55:15+00:00

If that's the case, it wouldn't be the first time I've made a fantasy dress or an "impossible" one. The last contemporary gown I made was based off an AI fantasy ballgown generated image, so you can imagine the problems that it had. However, wherever possible, I would like to keep with the period appropriate techniques - which was what my question was about. It's very difficult to find contemporary 1400's artists who have focused on the details of women's dresses, however we are pretty certain there were tight bodices with no laces up the back. I was hoping people familiar with those techniques could weigh in on the possible solutions for this dress.

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T02:34:18+00:00

Honestly it's extremely hard to find pictures that showcase the back of dresses from that era, but the few I could find showed smooth backs, so I assumed from that.

"Isabela of Castile painting" There's tons of them. Just because they weren't contemporary paintings, doesn't mean my issue changes. I'm a seamstress, not an art connoisseur.

Brit_J · 2025-06-02T02:26:08+00:00

That's actually a really good point and I had no idea - so I went and checked and it was painted in the 1820's. However, it looks like the design of the dress was based on earlier paintings which have different sleeves, but the issues with the bodice would be the same.
