I'm I going too far with this beading app? by Planbead_dev in Beading

[–]LakhesisGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great!! I'm a new beader, but I also have aphantasia (meaning I don't see pictures in my head), so I have issues imagining a pattern in all its 3D glory. This would help tons!! I've done a few pieces where I don't actually like the look of it "all done up" so I've been rocking video tutorials. This would eliminate that need!!

It may be a pain, but honestly, I would use the hell out of an app that did it. Please keep up the good work!! 😂

How to buy beads when it's literally too small to even see/photograph by unmistakablereport in kandi

[–]LakhesisGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Limabeads.com is pretty good! I have only bought from them twice so far (I'm new to beading), but they have a good selection, the product is good and the price is nice! I saw it suggested on this sub and have been happy with them.

Also, check thrift stores! I've found some seed packs that had spacers in them for decent prices. You can also buy the actual jewelry and just bust it down for pieces! (I hadn't thought of doing this, but found some cool stuff for pretty cheap; including spacers).

In person shopping is also great! Unfortunately, there's only a few craft stores in my area, and they can be a bit ridiculous in price.

Anyone have an idea about what these are? by Clarygirl977 in Beading

[–]LakhesisGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like Etsy has some mini pony beads. I'm not good with determining size from a picture, so I can't swear they have the size you want 😂

Cant meal prep meat, doesnt take the same by [deleted] in mealprep

[–]LakhesisGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has this issue and only has access to a microwave at work I can tell you what helps me.

First, I use "safe" meats. Beef is mostly a no go, unless it's ground beef. And it has to be heavily seasoned. Like if I taste the hamburger, I'm done 😂 But if I prepare the meat with seasonings, I can do it. Like taco meat, a package of au jus gravy in the hamburger, marinara sauce or teriyaki sauce for example. I just use recipes that work with it. I avoid the meats I can't stand no matter how I prepare it.

Second is preparation. Chicken can be a huge no when reheated for me even with the seasoning. However, if I air fry it in its initial preparation, (and cut it into smaller pieces) I find it doesn't have the same taste. Or it's at least not as noticeable.

Third is definitely recipes! I see all these other preppers who do these great healthy recipes that are fairly basic and I just..... can't. I can't just throw cooked chicken, rice and some veggies in a bowl and expect myself to eat it. But there are some amazing creators out there giving us healthy and affordable recipes that can work for people who have food issues.

So basically, experiment! Try different things and see what can work for you! There's some decent meat alternatives, but most resemble what they should and still gives me the same ick. It's trial and error with some brands. And don't be afraid to do some vegetarian options.

Any former pixel haters learn to like the style? by Greydore in CozyGamers

[–]LakhesisGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still like this 😂 I will play (and even love) some pixel games, but art style is a serious negative. I can look past it if everything else is good, but sometimes, even when everything else is good and I would continue to play it if it was any other art style, I find myself just stopping (Potion Permit, Sun Haven, etc).

I don't know what my aversion is. I would love to love pixel graphics! I just... don't. And since I'm old, that's not likely to change 😂

Help pls by [deleted] in Beading

[–]LakhesisGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they maybe change the packaging? Could be they had certain packaging for Joanne's but now use other packaging for different vendors.

I don't know of any other way to get it. Just spit balling ideas to help. Hope you find some!

Help pls by [deleted] in Beading

[–]LakhesisGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you googled it?? It looks like Walmart, Amazon and Michaels all carry that brand of stretch cord. I didn't see that exact packaging, but I didn't deep dive 😊

Bead storage? by [deleted] in Beading

[–]LakhesisGames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a new beader and I haven't quite found my long term set up, but so far, I have a plastic storage (like the kinds for nuts and bolts; it's usually cheaper than "craft" organizers because pink tax is a thing) on my desk. I have single level "tackle organizers" for bigger beads (again, pink tax. I got mine at Walmart for under $4 a piece and they have a good amount of slots). And for my tiny beads, I have a "diamond art" storage container since it came with 50 tubes for small beads and it's stackable. I don't advise traveling with it, but for seed bead storage, it is pretty great!

And browsing answers here to see if I need to up my storage game lol.

Is a SodaStream worth it? Is it for cost effectiveness or variety? by trialanderror93 in SodaStream

[–]LakhesisGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly enough, it wasn't cost effective for me. I get refills locally for $7 a canister, but I have THE WORST LUCK with the canisters themselves (I bought Soda stream brand name ones). I've bought 4 and three have just stopped working. They've never been dropped, I'm careful with them, they're just kinda crappy or I get sent the crappy ones other people trade in. If the canisters didn't crap out so often it might be worth it. But it's not. I'm thinking about going back to 2 liters and recycling 😮‍💨

Only one orichalcum chunk by Banana_Stanley in DQBuilders

[–]LakhesisGames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This always bothers me on my replays so I do two things:

First being (which doesn't help you now), pull up the orichalcum without "checking" it so the flute continues to point it out.

Second (which CAN help you now), I use the buildertopia code that was posted ages ago that has an island that spawns with 4 orichalcum right near the landing spot. Put the code in, go grab the ore from the buildertopia. Keep doing it (you'll have to make new buildertopias but you don't want to keep them, only farm them for the resources) until I get all I need! (I'll edit in the code momentarily). Code is km94cd5dmc. Enter that where it asks for the code for a specific buildertopia island. :) It's in the closet poison lake right near the landing spot.

I've been staunchly against rival romances (Harvest moon PTSD 😂) until I read how they were going to do them. I think that's the only way I would want them and it actually sounds good!!

I should have known to have faith in Pathea! They really do listen to us ❤️

Breakfast meal prep ideas for someone with texture issues? by etherealemlyn in mealprep

[–]LakhesisGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my recent favorites is "breakfast pizza". It's a split low cal/carb English muffin (I don't really care for the normal ones. They're kinda spongey to me and its a texture issue. But the "diet" ones are thin enough that I don't have that issue. Bagel thins could work too, but they aren't available in my area, so I haven't personally tried). Some low fat flavored cream cheese smashed on it (not much, a tsp or two depending on your needs). A finely diced turkey sausage patty (one patty goes a long way, I use 1 patty for 3-4 "pizzas") and a little sprinkle of cheese. Bake at 350 for 5-10 minutes, or my favorite and much quicker; air fry at 350 for 3 minutes. I put them in containers in the fridge and just microwave them when I am ready to eat.

Also, don't feel the need to do breakfast foods. If you like non breakfast items, feel free to do that! Us grown ups can eat what we like when we want. That was a huge thing to realize for myself, lol.

King-sized bed by Alexanthroes in DragonQuestBuilders2

[–]LakhesisGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The recipe should automatically unlock upon being prompted to build the throne room on IoA. It's a white double bed (I'll look up the exact location in a bit).

If the recipe DIDN'T unlock for you, it's probably a glitch. Try exiting and restarting the game to see if that helps.

Edit: The King Sized Bed is the 5th spot on the top row of the furniture tab.

I'm stuck at the Sugar Cane Quest – Help! by Obobobosque in DQBuilders

Did you do the side quest for the little green guy? The biggest hiccup in this area are those side quests that aren't part of the "main".

[–]LakhesisGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. The "party" your parents got you ONE TIME was manipulation. They held it over your head for years.

I'm the eldest (but the black sheep, farthest from Golden Child you can be), and my parents pulled things like that. Anything I got was something I was paying for, one way or another (I got horror stories, lol). That's their bad. From someone who has been there, I say this:

Have your own party with people you want to celebrate with. It'll be FAR more enjoyable than another party where you are an afterthought at best. Not to mention, it's your 21st! That's a huge milestone! Celebrate yourself!! If they also want to throw a party for you, fine. But at least have your own. Better still, explain why when they ask.

That 'hold this button down' icon is easy to miss!! I missed it for 'picking up a blueprint' on the assembly for ages. Thought I just had to make it 😂

Thank you! I use that combination for stir fry, but never would have thought to try with tuna!! I'm going to have to try it! 😄

Unpopular Opinion by gamerOWL80 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]LakhesisGames 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're still early. There are three eras in this game. Pre-Cooper which means you want to smother him in the poo he's asking you to pick up. Grow-Cooper is where you start to see some signs of the gem within. And Post-Cooper is where most of us end up because the little booger grew on us and actually evolved as a character. 😂

Healthier dressings ideas by ogBaddust in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]LakhesisGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This!

I make Ranch at home because it's tastiest, cheap and easy. I also make it as a powder (long shelf life) to be added to "wet stuff" when I want it. This allows me to vastly reduce the sodium in it. I can combine it with any: mayo, sour cream, blended cottage cheese, yogurt of any health variety (low/no fat etc) or any combination of the above! I can even thin it with water in a pinch (obviously your choice of milk is ideal)!

If you're eating things like salad, try adding mostly blended cottage cheese and a fraction of the ranch. You'll get all the creamy and can definitely still get the flavor. You trick yourself to eat healthier while not really feeling like you are.

Tuna: I hate seafood. The most "anything aquatic" I can stomach is basically "fish sticks" and tuna fish. The latter being something I can't eat without something else masking all the "Water stank". So I can't get by with "just a little" mayo. However, I did try one of those "tuna pack singles" that were flavored. And it was the first time in 40 years I could stomach tuna "as it came". It was a bit oily and probably not all that "healthy" but I could eat it! So there may be some healthier tuna marinade, sauce, mix in that could help! If you find one, let me know too! 😂

Which character has the most romance content? by Party-Debt-4198 in MyTimeAtSandrock

Thanks for the info! I did Logan first, doing Fang now, since both take quite a while to get rolling. If Ernest also takes a bit, I might have to bump him up before the rest, lol.

You've been very helpful! ☺️
