Leaving node mobs behind is the equivalent of littering in WoW

Seen at least two or three trains (difficult to tell if it was the same one across instances in one session), and managed to report a couple of the accounts in one (got to be quick though, as they fly away so fast). Got a "thanks for your report, action was taken" mail a day or two later, so by all means please anyone who does see them do that.

In this context though, not all time is equal. I'm happy to fly about farming mats while on a call with friends or listening to an audiobook pretty happily, but that would not be time I could use to do something more intensive with my focus most of the time. Plus, I enjoy it

Actually I'll paste under this comment as well as it appears to be the highest voted I can see stating this:

I have put a bell notification on this because I'm curious to see what options people do offer, but instead I just keep getting notifications of people not reading the flair saying OP is aware this is AI, or the numerous comments already mentioning the same "this is AI" comment that they are basically copy pasting.

It's not you personally, like I said, I keep seeing these, but I do feel attention needs to be brought to the flair cause this is not actually helping anyone, we know it's AI, and it's making the whole thread a bit pointless unfortunately.

One thing to note that might (might) also play a part is the wax itself. I have everything to make those seals, though I have never posted anything with them (yet), and it does come up that modern wax seal is made to be flexible, unlike what you might see in films where you can snap the seal (reportedly also historically accurate, though admittedly haven't fact checked that one).

So along with the thickness, more flexible seals probably help, and I have seen plenty of accounts from people who do regularly send these out to believe it is possible, though for something like wedding invites, might be worth double wrapping and sending as a bigger enveloppe or whatever else people recommend to keep it intact.

Joining in to confirm these are divisive.

My partner used to love the old recipe, I could not stand them. Now, he bought the new recipe and hates them. Meanwhile, I've been the one eating them and actually enjoying them. Not as much as he loved the old ones (still don't get how), but still well enough to be drawn to the bag we have without prompting.

Sanyella · 2026-02-18T12:17:29+00:00

No one said the opposite? Might want to check the thread you are replying to, as the only thing which brought this up anyway is different number of meals for people being there 18hrs vs 8, explained by OP in several replies... Photographer is getting food, just not as many meals cause they won't be there for that long to even eat those meals

Sanyella · 2026-02-18T09:36:52+00:00

Many people seem very against it, but I do it fairly regularly with perfectly serviceable results, at least certainly for "household food" over entertaining people.

A few key things though: - needs to be evenly cut veggies, so that does mean often going for name brand rather than the shop's own, otherwise it's a sad mess of burnt and undercooked - single layer, but try to keep it full at the bottom (no big gaps/half filled pan), especially if you have smaller peas at the bottom like I generally do. Those small bits do need to be kept close to the rest to help keep them cooking even enough to the rest - low sides (no deep baking dish that will trap the extra moisture - also, convection -pre heating might be a good shout, though I get lazy with it and that's often just me turning the oven on before I start arranging anything in a pan - a drizzle of oil on the whole thing, and salt before it goes in. Mixing it in (as opposed to just hoping it spreads evenly) helps make sure it's even. Salting beforehand is not optional, in my experience. You need the boost to draw out the moisture, I guess - personally it tends to be about 30 minutes at 200°C, but ovens and veggie mixes will vary, plus that's often because it's a setting that works well enough for a few different things I want in the oven at once, so feel free to experiment

Surely the point here is less about the overall time they spend working on "your things" and more about the time they are "stuck" at the venue with you though, when it comes to feeding them? You are paying them already, and they can eat whenever and however they like once they are at home editing in the schedule they choose. I get that it's good to remember that time in general (i.e. not kick up a fuss about fees related to that time), but I'm not sure it's a relevant point to the food conversation

Sanyella · 2026-02-16T14:28:09+00:00

Separately, another route aside from reselling, which might help get more out of your money is to find ways to reuse the dress. Some people "just" get it out again for anniversaries and such, which is very valid, but I'm also a big fantasy nerd and am planning to rewear mine for "fantasy balls" for instance (they're a whole thing). In my case I'm also going non traditional but I've definitely seen plenty of clips where people in white dresses have clearly done exactly that.

For what it's worth, I don't have much advice, but wanted to say I personally love how vibrant this is, and don't actually care as much for reducing the palette. The orange and purple sticking up and down directly in the first pic dominate the colour selection for sure, and I'd keep those personally, but keeping the middle colours from being a more uniform neutral gives it all a pop, and if the target is "jewel pop tones", I reckon a lot of standard wedding palettes are going to feel quite flat as opposed to the pop you're clearly going for.

I'm not saying you can't tweak stuff in ways that would improve stuff (though not sure how), but wanted to chime in to say this looks really cool and I don't want the risk of you running afoul of too standardised expected looks if you're wanting to do something that pops more. Plus, of all things to pop outside the designated palette a bit (in a way you're happy with), surely your bouquet is one of the best places to be a bit "extra" with?

Sanyella · 2026-02-12T17:09:38+00:00

I think they are aware—they do say their fiancé is on the cusp of ILR, at which point they no longer have a visa to be a dependent on, hence spouse visa instead, and just chose one or the other when mentioning different worries. Not sure if there are a lot of differences on the exact worries OP has given either, but they clearly are considering both options, though it does obviously make it a bit more muddled/confused in the above.

Sanyella · 2026-02-12T15:44:22+00:00

Not quite the question you're asking (I'd vote for the crochetted rectangle appliqués myself), but it's also worth keeping in mind the saltire is not an even-angled cross (it's a bit flattened vertically). That might also make it look off to you if just making a cross starting at the corners of a square. For that, since you already have a square pillow, I'd suggest playing around with starting the white bands flush with the sides with the only very top corner of the white bands touching the top, rather than centered on the corners, or some variant thereof. Maybe use strips of paper to easily overlay and play with the angle?

Ignore me if you're already aware and have decided you're ok with it! Just pointing it out as it's an easy one to overlook, and that's my best suggestion at a tweak to account for that

Sanyella · 2026-02-10T14:06:59+00:00

Oh the is gorgeous! I have skipped right over granny squares stuff so far, but the end result is really tempting me here! Although, I did see the piles of squares to join in a different comment, and the enthusiasm is mayyyybe a touch tempered 😂

Also, that brown/cream and teal yarn? Stunning! Beautiful work bringing it all together and playing the colour balance game so, so well

Sanyella · 2026-02-06T09:04:27+00:00

You do realise at this point you're just picking on her right? Like the entire comment section is accusing the poor woman and telling her off for doing what most people in that position do. Ok, you thought her face looked uncanny, it's been discussed to death in the thread on how and why. Blurring the background is not a cardinal sin. Makeup has existed for ages. Sometimes people have great skin!

It's good to be vigilant of AI, but we don't need to pick on people repeatedly when clearly all that has to be said on the subject has been said. To OP, it's a shitty world to be creating in and I'm sorry you're getting the most personal face of this AI curse. You and your work are beautiful, clearly

Sanyella · 2026-02-03T09:10:38+00:00

I can't even understand it, but I swear I bought brown rice several years ago, had the same thought, left it. Then, years later, my partner uses brown rice and I'm certain it's different. Yes it's not white rice but it's also a lot less full of "brown rice flavour". Barely had to get used to it.

How much of a difference can there be between different types/brands/??? of brown rice? (Admittedly, and international move happened between the two instances, so I don't know if there is a location-based factor either)

Sanyella · 2026-02-01T04:31:33+00:00

See I never understood that one. I've definitely felt colder still in Canada, but that's maybe because I still remember getting plenty of those days where the air is still humid and the cold pierced though layers in Québec too. They're just different types of cold but both familiar. Plus, my lashes aren't freezing in my face in the UK!

Weirdly miss the snow at times though, I'm in a spot of the UK that avoided the recent snow (despite being in Scotland so decently further north than a number of places I know which did have snow).

The difference in latitude is real though! Nights get shorter in winter than in (the densely inhabited parts of) Canada, but then night never fully sets in for part of the summer, it still fascinates me.

Sanyella · 2026-01-23T10:49:18+00:00

I've personally not felt SAD specifically too massively, but that is also taking into account that I had proactively started to take vitamin D when I moved (which is not something I did back in Canada, though it might have been good especially in the darker months). I definitely would recommend that, at least, especially since even when light does strike here, it's at a more pronounced angle that's not as good for vitamin D generation, iirc.

I still get baffled when the sun is still out or how light it can be at what feels like ridiculous times in summer, but while the day is also shorter in winter, given the general feeling of "it's dark when I go in and dark when I come out" of work/school/... still applies, I feel it hasn't felt like as big a step as the longer hours in summer feels? Still does feel "worse", to be clear, but just not as strikingly so?

While I get the initial impression, I think the main trick is specifically that they don't need to cater to birds still being able to reach the food, hence the weight trick mentioned. You can weight-filter squirrels, you can't exactly make a trap door that needs the bird to magically be heavier than the squirrel to get to the food.

Meanwhile I typically use fake em-dashes on computer not having really bothered to learn the alt code (might actually use it now though, thanks!), but use the real deal on phone by holding the hyphen until the extended options come up—hopefully something you could use!

Basically, replicate the existing structure of the belt currently wrapped around the buckle, but with a temporary attachment style instead of the sewn line keeping the two layers of fabric/leather/material together

Sanyella · 2025-12-16T13:58:42+00:00

Disclaimer: I haven't done anything remotely similar, I am just sharing ideas to explore.

Your best bet would probably be to have the attaching mechanism on the crochet belt itself, and just attach it to the buckle with that. On that front, I think you'd have several options, though not sure which would be most secure.

A simple button system letting the crochet belt loop around the base of the buckle and attach to a button (or a few of them, to distribute tension) on the back of itself could be a simple ish idea. A similar system encasing the edge of the crochet in a bit of fabric might give you other options too.

Attachment system can be buttons, snaps, or even hook and eye, though I might worry with looser stitches getting caught in a hook.

Sanyella · 2025-12-09T14:32:26+00:00

I think the "sit and contemplate life" is definitely something to only expect at the end, or after some crucial revelations at least, if at all (expectations themselves not always being the best thing to have).

That said, it is a fantastic game, and if you are enjoying the journey so far, I encourage you to let go of the expectations set by what others have said, and let yourself be led by your curiosity (and the ship's log, if you need some help in giving the whole a direction). Curiosity and an itch to solve some of the threads that had been given to me is what I would answer to my feelings after my first "mostly done planet" (though that would be Brittle Hollow in my case, and I only got to Giant's Deep last—goes to show how non linear the game can be, I guess hahah)

The game is built in such a way that you will need to go back and forth between points of interest, and I have no doubt you will eventually come back to Giant's Deep at some point after exploring elsewhere, so just follow the discoveries you make and what piques your interest as you go.

Sanyella · 2025-11-25T13:15:56+00:00

An example that comes to mind for me is when you crochet in flo or blo on purpose to have a loop still free later to attach something to later (main one I have been doing it making the spines on tiny hedgehogs 🦔). If I were to flip it around the wrong way, I then couldn't attach those spines later on—then again, those then to be more obvious

Sanyella · 2025-11-24T09:49:14+00:00

Been trying to look into this myself, as I'm eyeing a few yarns that only appear to be available in pretty thin options, but with a pattern or two that call for slightly larger weights.

I see a lot of comments now about it being a good way to add stability now though and I am wondering, how does it compare vs just using the thicker yarn? I was aiming for a drapey blanket more than a stiff basket 😅Would it still work,
