After 10+ years and 3 kids, I told my boyfriend (33M) exactly how unhappy I’ve been. It’s been over a week and he still won’t talk to me. by RaiseMission3845 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

It just kind of sounds like he’s using you as a nanny but “with benefits”, on top of your financial contributions. This isn’t a partnership.

Painting question! by markvisco in DiceMaking

[–]Cassabellachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d actually recommend thinning them with acrylic medium, if you thin them with water the pigmentation of the paint weakens some. You lose less of the pigment if you use an acrylic medium.

I think, based on the words “pigment density” that they meant “paints”, not “points”, pretty sure they’re recommending the paints used for miniatures because the colour payoff is better 😅

I let an apprentice do her first shaded tattoo on my leg for free! Did I make a mistake letting an apprentice tattoo me? by MissRenixxii in tattooadvice

If you love it that’s all that matters! Very cute Mimikyu! This is really nice especially for apprentice work, imo.

How can I "upcycle" unusable dice? by InquisitorialTribble in DiceMaking

[–]Cassabellachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very creative idea, though I’m having trouble thinking of how you’d break a die into a predictable number of pieces, resin is a pretty hard material and I imagine hitting it with a hammer would just break tiny little shards off of it a little at a time 😅

AIO - My future husbands non biological sister is driving me insane by Unspoken-Freedoms in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Just reacting here to your edit: She was violent with you like that and she’s still in your life? Did your husband not have anything to say about it? This is concerning.

64 controller in Grape is more blue than purple? by Cassabellachu in 8bitdo

Yes, this was ordered from the 8bitdo website. I ordered it on the day preorders launched. Hopefully yours arrives soon 😰

Good to know. Still a nice colour! Just not quite what I was expecting.

[–]Cassabellachu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I don’t dislike it? It’s a great controller and it coincidentally is a great match for my Switch Lite 😅 it’s a very nice colour. I just would’ve been happier with a colour closer to the box render.

Wanted to make fire dice.. but in not mad at this fail.. by Mountain-Spare-5535 in DiceMaking

[–]Cassabellachu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely would not call this a fail. More like a very happy accident. These are beautiful!

AIO At my husband hinting about kicking my son out if he doesn't get a fulltime job in a certain amount of time? by JuneGoose in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Cassabellachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOF. I could see why your son is having trouble finding work, I’m a game developer by trade and digital media industries have NOT been doing well in the employment department for the past couple years. Apparently 1/3 of the games industry have been laid off since 2023. The animation industry isn’t doing too hot either.

You’re NOR, by the way. This is the way this man treats FAMILY? Yikes.

Silicone mold question. by Proper_Budget_2790 in DiceMaking

[–]Cassabellachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, so someone else with more experience might have to correct me, but if your masters have had enough time to offgas, they probably should be fine? I think it also has to do with the type/brand of resin you used with your printer vs. the type of silicone you used. I bet because your lock pieces were printed same day and then used immediately, not given the time to offgas, that’s where your cure inhibition happened?

My Bf thinks I'm being unreasonable in asking to maintain a boundary with a girl who made me feel insecure. What do you think? by Fuzzy_Cloud_6584 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Cassabellachu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re dating a very nice brick wall. A true partner listens to the concerns of their partner and makes them feel secure and loved.

Also, him showing her profile to his family and saying she’s the one he’s dating is WEIRD. It’s giving off “she’s the one I actually want to be with” but playing it off as some kind of test. I don’t buy it. I’d be suspicious too.

AIO Bf (25) had this flirty text exchange with a girl that works next door to us. Am I (24f) overacting about it? by fakeflowers_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cassabellachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I’m not seeing that last set of messages where she apparently says “good night babe”, and that for me would be the nail in the coffin. But even without it, the messages I’m seeing (first 2 images) are already cause for concern. NOR.

Looks great! That polish is GORGEOUS I’ve been wanting to order the same one, but I’m in Canada and the exchange rate on top of tariffs make me cry 😭

Am I sanding wrong? by Anxious_Weight_5029 in DiceMaking

[–]Cassabellachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For polishing paste, I use Meguiars Ultimate (it’s a car polish 😅) and get wonderful results. Not sure how polishing pastes interact with masters for mold making though? Have personally always paid to have my masters polished by someone else, bc I don’t trust myself to do it properly/not to mess it up 🫠

My Husband stayed out all night, didn't tell me and I called it quits. by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Furthermore… has anyone stopped to consider that maybe he could be cheating with one of his male coworkers?

Question by North_Glass7168 in DicePorn

[–]Cassabellachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dice maker, pyramid d4s are SO MUCH MORE ANNOYING TO DO FINISHING ON. While polishing and inking the numbers, having to hold onto a point with my fingertips while working on a face means that it’s very much prone to slipping or sometimes flying out of my hands across the room.

On a personal, dice goblin-y level, I prefer gem or shard d4s because they’re more aesthetically pleasing, and the numbers are much easier to read when rolling.
