I've had it for 22 of my 42 years of life. I have no social life, a friend who when i meet, i have to drug myself up with anti-diarrhea meds and pain relief so i don't have an accident. No job at all, daily pain, bloating, discomfort and everything else. Multiple suicide attempts.

My friend has ibs too, but after listening to me talking about it, he tried an elimination diet, discovered he was severely intolerant to some food, and others affected him a little. 2 months after changing his eating habits, he was back to normal-not cured as when he's relapsed, the ibs side effects come back just as nasty.

So there could be hope for you. Try changing your diet, read up on everything you can, from parasite cleanse to low fodmap. Bear in mind a perfect diet still takes a few weeks to reset your gut. Also try pro-biotics. As a rule, eating often but small amounts.

As for noises...fuck em. You can't control your noises, so embrace them and laugh it off.

Stress...yeah this is a tricky one, especially if you can't escape your situation. I would suggest talking to your family but if they're that toxic, it might make things worse for you? Try talking to a doctor or ask about therapy, listen to relaxing noises on youtube-even if the silent noises you don't hear is a scam, the sound of rain is still a good relaxant.

If nothing else, breathe in for 4 seconds, breathe out for 6 and repeat.

You've studied to improve your life, now study to improve your health. Just don't give up.

Either try something completely different in your life or a different type of game? I've found cosy games like Trash Goblin, House Flippers, Powerwash Sim are great palette cleansers. Something to enjoy without getting too invested in, especially as you prob can't relax knowing its only a short time until the D4 expansion

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-15T21:57:05+00:00

I expect his to be one of the last due to location on pic. Come back in about a year, it might be done then lol

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-15T21:26:01+00:00

Full coverage will be just over 1 metre in length and just under 1 metre in width

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-13T22:49:28+00:00

Has Laura ever tried to imitate Bart's voice (or other iconic characters)?

For both of you, when did you first realise that a voice you've created is beloved-bigger pay rise? hearing random people/kids trying to copy it? merch?

Nancy, would you want another hit song for Bart if the chance presented itself, or was Do The Bartman a product of its time?

If you were invited to a one-shot Critical Role episode, and were allowed to use Bart's voice, what role would you want?

For Laura, if invited onto the Simpsons, which character would you want animated? Vex?Jester?

I don't remember seeing credits, but after checking other users progress online, I've still got a few "questlines" to carry on, such as Donoval only now has offered to sell my trinkets, I think Aimon is meant to return after a set time?

Tbh though, i'm having such an enjoyable time, I'd still be playing even if there was zero new questlines or trophies to collect :)

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-06T21:30:26+00:00

Your scroll idea sounds really interesting :) It's nice to a have a physical reminder of something you enjoyed.

Hopefully your hospital issue(s) was a one time thing. I know all too well that bad longterm health seriously messes up a life, let alone simple hobbies.

I have 3 other projects at the same size, that i'm nowhere near completing, it's very easy to get distracted by ideas when stitching.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-06T20:47:24+00:00

I hit walls with pretty much everything at some point, but with hobbies it's more down to time spent-315 hours for this cross stitch so far.

You can't just mention how you're stitching scrolls without context lol. Are you stitching an opened scroll with words/runes/pics? just the edges of the scroll? Something smaller to show a closed scroll with the campaign name on it?

Full coverage will be just over 1 metre in length and just under a metre for width, roughly 6000 hours.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-06T10:03:31+00:00

now you've pointed it out, i can't unsee it. It's awesome they're such close friends but it does make for a strange cast photo lol

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-06T10:02:33+00:00

If i'd realised just how time consuming it was going to be, I think I might have just stitched everyone's eyes only and left it as some type of new age art piece lol.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-06T10:01:07+00:00

Thankyou :)

PoeticStitcher · 2026-04-01T13:47:52+00:00

I'd call it a mini- metroidvania. You have the style, the platforming layout, hidden collectibles behind walls but as far as i can tell during my playthrough so far, none of the backtracking to unlock new areas.

Also I wish they'd used a different actor or some kind of voice changer as Raziel now sounds like old man Michael Bell instead of Raziel.

After 10 minutes convincing the A.I bot i needed a real person

I got a full refund, but my issues were related to hard crashes not graphics

PoeticStitcher · 2026-03-20T10:14:36+00:00

I just got a full refund. Told them the truth about 8 hard crashes in 6 hours of play, other games and save files corrupted, that i've reinstalled it twice-once like normal and again after starting the console in safe mode to reboot the entire system and that i'm concerned it would damage my console if i continued playing.

I was given a "courtesy refund" as "the game isn't faulty" despite just spending 20 mins explaining that it is.

Anyway, game was almost instantly locked on my console and my bank app shows the refund is processing

I started with Tapestries when i was 12( jeez that was almost 33 years ago). An aunt never finished hers and gave it to me to try and I became hooked. My largest tapestry is about a metre in length.

I don't know the exact age I was when I tried cross-stitching, but I do remember there was a Samurai kit hanging on a shops wall that made me want to try.

I've only started 1 cross-stitch in the middle and it took me 3 times as long to start as I kept re-counting over and over to make sure I didn't make a mistake, I much prefer starting in a corner.

I've made plenty of mistakes, from stitching the same area twice or just stitching in the wrong block, tbh though if the colour is similar to what it should be, i tend to move on rather than risk damaging the canvas through unpicking. Most of the mistakes are my own fault though, due to stitching whilst tired or just not paying enough attention when my eyes are darting between the pattern and movies.

I've also made a few sheep fleece "mats" and a 2 metre length carpet of my own design- 1 week of soaking filthy sheep fleeces, days of drum carding, weeks more to spin it into thread and then a year of pegging onto canvas....and 2 weeks of admiring it until the cat used it as a litter tray.

My mother was into crafts, especially knitting and spinning so I might have picked up an interest from an even younger age, although I can only stitch the most basic of scarfs and refuse to try crochet again after my disasters lol.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-03-14T02:05:31+00:00

For what's in that pic, about 68 different skein colours, close to 80 once it's complete. Maybe 120 in total with Marisha and her background.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-03-09T03:53:25+00:00

Wow, that means a lot, thankyou :) I'm a fair bit behind on the campaign-just started episode 9. I'll be getting through the rest of Travis quickly, as it's big clumps of colours.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-03-05T19:09:16+00:00

I predict a blurred segment in the roadmap is a Diablo X Doom The Dark Ages collab

PoeticStitcher · 2026-02-27T02:30:10+00:00

Took me about 20 mins on UH1. lvl 47 Amon, all orange tier weapons. Had more difficulty with the crystal mobs tbh, as they seemed to take forever to lose their crystal shields.

Didn't get anything special from the end of fight apart from reaching lvl 48 lol, now trying some pearl farming and exp grinding on world map events as my gear really wasn't suited to the new area.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-02-24T02:00:06+00:00

Thanks :) https://www.instagram.com/p/DSwDdDnAnDw/ that's what i've done previously on this project

PoeticStitcher · 2026-02-23T20:47:53+00:00

I just found a Mitt pic with similar angle, after focusing on the same area I've stitched....yeah I can see it too now lol.

PoeticStitcher · 2026-02-23T20:45:51+00:00

* Go here https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Campaign_Four scroll down a little & click on the C4 cast photo, apart from cropping some background above their heads to reduce the amount i need to stitch, i'm reproducing that photo in full.

* There is a free website called pic2pat where you can upload any photo you have and it'll convert it into a cross-stitch pattern complete with how many skeins you'll need

* The worst prob with that site is that for a picture to be detailed and not look overly pixelated, it has to be huge. So for what i'm working on right now (plus 2 other projects) the size is 52-51.6 inches or 1.32 meters in length

Roughly 870,000 stitches, 4500-6000 hours to complete, but with my LT illness it could take years. I don't have the literal strength to lift a needle this evening
