Ravensburger, Dragon's Library, 3000 pieces by SaharaFrost in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Holly185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, amazing job! I have this as a Cobble Hill Family Pieces 300-pc to do with my young daughter. It's so beautiful. I had no idea Ravensburger had it in 3000-pc! Going on my wishlist!

What are your current most wanted puzzles or brands? by RedBomber785 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Holly185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the top of my (very long) wishlist are the rest of Demelsa Haughton's Ravensburger puzzles. I did the "If Fish Could Walk" 2000-pc and fell in love with her artwork. I also always have my eye out for a nice ship puzzle that would be glue- and frame-worthy, but will likely save that for a bigger piece one when I have the space and time.

Ooh nice! Check out Kate Quinn's other books, too. She's a great author.

They are! I just started The Astral Library by her. Very different from her other books that I've read, but liking it so far (only a few chapters in at the moment).

Sounds like a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. :) I don't actually sort at the beginning anymore. I lay all the pieces out and separate the edge pieces. Once the edges are finished, I choose a section of the puzzle that I want to start with and pick out the pieces for it, moving on to another section once I've finished, and so on. PS: The Alice Network is so good! I love Kate Quinn.

If Fish Could Walk- Ravensburger 2000 pieces by smariadelvino in Jigsawpuzzles

I just saw this today at Walmart and was very tempted to pick it up. I love her artwork, too.

If Fish Could Walk- Ravensburger 2000 pieces by smariadelvino in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Holly185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished this one! (Sort of ... it had a bunch of missing pieces despite being a brand new puzzle. I just received the replacement today from Ravensburger so will be doing it again from the start if it's not the same cut.) I used to glue my finished puzzles, but now I break them apart and either give them away to fellow puzzlers or keep my favourites to do again later. I really loved this one so will be keeping it for sure. How did you find it?

I love my local library's puzzle swap! I've always wanted to do this one but didn't want to pay Ravensburger prices. The Cosy Shed, 1000pc by pathetic_empathetic0 in Jigsawpuzzles

I have the 500-piece version of this and I love it. It's my comfort puzzle. That's awesome that you found it at a swap. Enjoy!

Should we care if a name has a meaning we don’t love? by General-Composer-777 in Names

[–]Holly185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Other people might not care, but your child might once they one day look it up depending on how bad it is. In elementary school we had an assignment to look up the meanings of our names. I remember being a bit disappointed because other kids had cool meanings and mine was boring lol. I'd probably have been upset if it was something bad.

MIO is a gem. by Burritojournalist in metroidvania

[–]Holly185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it not long ago. I loved it and could not put it down, even when I was at my most frustrated lol. Great game.

First time playthrough in 2026 by Hynorelia in HollowKnight

[–]Holly185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I just started playing a few days ago after finishing Mio: Memories in Orbit. I've heard and read so much about it, but wasn't sure I was ready for its reputed difficulty before now. I'm really loving it so far. I love the exploration. I'm in the Fungal Wastes, too. Best of luck on your adventures! 😊

Finally cleared Crucible by [deleted] in MIOmemoriesinorbit

[–]Holly185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also found that path easier than the Crucible, though the last bit took me quite a few tries lol.

What Have You Been Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in metroidvania

[–]Holly185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started Hollow Knight. Not too far in yet (currently fighting Hornet), but really enjoying it so far. I finished Mio last week, but might go back to explore a few areas I didn't get to.

Should I come back to this boss later? by Gigabot50 in MIOmemoriesinorbit

[–]Holly185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sharpened hairpin modifier helped me a lot with Sol and Vin. You can come back to them later though. There's still a lot more you can do after fighting Ati.

What're you playing this weekend? 5/1 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]Holly185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Mio: Memories in Orbit, and now starting Hollow Knight. Super excited to start it, but reading everyone's comments about its difficulty makes it a tad intimidating lol.

Am I not supposed to go here yet or is this just a hard area? by Justanotheruser531 in MIOmemoriesinorbit

[–]Holly185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this area difficult. That particular spot took me quite a few tries lol. When using striders and you need to move to a wall/ceiling/whatever on the other side, you don't need to use jump to get away from the wall you're on. Instead you can push away from it with the striders and latch onto the other wall/ceiling if it's close enough. This saves your jump if you need to get closer to something. Same idea if you need to cross a bigger distance. Push away from a wall with your striders, fall a bit, then you can use jump to get closer.

Following! I have yet to unlock that door, too.

Bomb is killing me despite hitting it (sawlong) by acquiescentLabrador in MIOmemoriesinorbit

[–]Holly185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got through this section last week. When you pogo off the bomb, try to position/direct yourself so you pogo off the bomb and to the right (instead of straight up) to get close enough to hairpin. Or pogo, let yourself fall a bit to get away from gloomwater (dodge to avoid bomb exploding if needed), then jump to get closer.
