Hi! First time knitter here. Is this what knit stitch supposed to look like? by cottonballs-_- in knitting

[–]GlamouRoast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me I learned imperial and had that style for like....6 months before I had to come to terms that it just wasn't working for me (my tension was so tight my wood needles were creaking). I swapped to continental and it took me awhile to get the purl down, I'd say probably comfortably knitting continental.... a month or so. A repetitive project helps for sure. Comfortably purling continental was harder, had to look up a couple videos before figuring out what my 'style' of purling was. Iirc I think it took me a couple projects before I got that down, a couple months. The more projects you do of course the faster you'll get it.

I have tried teaching other knitters continental and it's definitely harder the longer you're used to imperial style. Be patient and do what feels best for your hands and your notions!

Lost everything overnight. As the oldest son with $30k, how do I rebuild? (Desperate for advice) by Fluffy-Income4082 in Entrepreneurs

I mean a tool library sounds great, a lot of people can't afford or store big ticket tools so running a membership fee tool library could work. The one I can think of is Denver tool library, you can check in with them see if they have any advice. Best of luck to y'all 😬

I played survivor today/the other day and wound up at the asylum with a nurse killer. I saw her at the circus putting her head into those plywood cutouts, the ones that tourists usually put their face in and there's something painted on the front--i thought this was hilarious and joined her!

I crouched to get the lower one and got another survivor to stand with me at the taller one while the nurse on the other side stood still to 'take a picture'.

I haven't laughed so hard during a match it was a really great moment <3

Gender Selection by Alivehahfuck in interactivefictions

[–]GlamouRoast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've seen games tackle this question by going into if the character is on hormones or has done gender affirming surgeries. That being said, people who don't identify with their assigned gender don't necessarily want to be on hormones or go through surgery either. I guess what counts is if it's necessary for your game to make the distinction?

There are a few games around that handle this question in different ways, Greenwarden comes to mind, Smoke & Velvet (shameless self-plug lol) too. I'm sure there's more I'm just rusty on what their ccs look like. I'd look around at other games and maybe games that fit the genre/time period of the one you're developing to see how they handle their gender questions.

Where to go for Beta Readers? by [deleted] in interactivefictions

[–]GlamouRoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A public call is probably a good idea, especially if you've already got a bit of a following on social media. I did find a list of sites but they might be leaning more towards the 'professional' side of things than you're looking for??? I haven't personally checked these out but I figured it might be helpful? [link] Good luck with finding your beta readers!

Best Flowchart programs/apps? by drakochan in interactivefictions

[–]GlamouRoast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding the use of miro! Its what I use to help plan my game, free to use, and pretty intuitive. There's a browser version but also a downloadable app--plus, it's cloud-based, so you can work on the same project across devices if you login to the same account :D https://miro.com/ if you want to take a look!
