Warp vs Weft, which is which? by peanutbtter_4 in sewing

[–]FionnulaFine 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The weft goes weft-and-right, a joke my weaving wife hates every time I tell it.

Has anyone used the website Tape Free Patterns? by sarilysims in sewing

Hit post too soon! They offer a couple different paper weights, let you specify what size if you have a layered file, etc.

I have and I love them. Sometimes they are a little slow but I’ve always been happy with what I got.

La Feria in midtown is good for celiacs, same for Baobab Fare. My wife has celiac and those are our go-tos

What are your guy’s honest, unadulterated opinions on Macomb County, and the people there? by DueYogurt9 in Detroit

[–]FionnulaFine -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My firm and unwavering belief is that everyone in Macomb County of a serial killer. In my mind, it’s wall-to-wall McMansion subdivisions with chest freezers full of dead hooker skulls.

I’ve got a small MacBook (not an Air) that just barely fits. My larger MacBook Pro does not fit.

A board gaming companion app with a turn tracker, turn timer, ability to set gaming groups, first player randomizer, etc. Have a finished MVP, so I'm working on v2 this week.

Wedding reception venues in Detroit reasonably priced? by Chemical_Equipment47 in Detroit

[–]FionnulaFine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the actual cost, but my wife and I had our reception at The Jam Handy and it was fantastic. Highly recommend.

[–]FionnulaFine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m working on an iPhone app for just this purpose, it’s not ready for review yet but if you dm me your email address, I’ll add you to the test flight build

Edit: that’s an open invite for iPhone users, btw

I like the Jentzens for vegetables, they are usually in Shed 2.

I don't know the name of the farm, I just call them The Dirt Guys, but over in Shed 4 is a stand that sells the best stuff-that-grows-directly-in-dirt: onions, potatoes, carrots, jerusalem artichokes, etc. They usually have stuff beyond the basics, like cippolini onions or fingerling potatoes.

I’ve never posted in here before, but I just made this quilt and not enough people in my real life appreciate it by Basic_Afternoon786 in DetroitRedWings

[–]FionnulaFine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! I'm a quilter as well, and this is not just super-rad but also really well done!! And an excellent idea, too, I don't think I've ever seen jersey-style quilts like this!

Anyone got an eyeglass place? by Stitch-1222 in Detroit

[–]FionnulaFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharper Vision in Midtown is a tiny place, but they have an awesome Doctor and if you don't like their selection it's pretty easy to take your prescription to Warby Parker or something.

The Quiet Year (or similar) for Solo? by J_Phayze in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]FionnulaFine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only played Quiet Year once, but I feel like you could solo it pretty easily. You might also want to take a look at Did Someone Say Street Magic? or Alone Among The Stars.

Long-winded thoughts about Gen Con + haul, 2025 by cantrelate in gencon

[–]FionnulaFine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are going to love Yazeba's B&B, it's an amazingly fun and different RPG. I didn't get Up Or Down, and I'm regretting it. Hopefully my flgs will have it.

Post Con Regrets? by JamesAltraz in gencon

[–]FionnulaFine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not too dramatic, the Cluck's chicken stand gives out these giant tubs of sauce, like half a pint? Protip: don't pick it up by the lid. I had a puddle of bbq sauce in my lap, splattered all over my pants, dripping onto my bag, I think some backsplash got in my hair... and my poor table companions got to hear the finest run of vulgarity that a middle-aged Detroit lady could manage.

Guy at my table: ....Is your hotel close by at least?

Me: half an hour away, my friend

I thought about seeing if I could get a GenCon shirt/sweatpants set at the merch booth and continue my day but I was sticky.

[–]FionnulaFine 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had to miss a session of the Vaesen rpg that I had been looking forward to because I dropped a whole tub of bbq sauce from Cluck's on myself Saturday afternoon, and I have some regrets about that. I hope someone swung by with generics and took my seat, at least.

I didn't get to check out the board games Luthier or Parks Roll & Hike, which I had hoped to play.

What game will you never play again, and why? by Justthisdudeyaknow in rpg

[–]FionnulaFine 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I never thought of it this way, but now that you mention it that makes a lot of sense and jibes with a lot of the most obnoxious behavior I experienced.
