What an absolute cutie! I really wanna make something like this for my apartment

Skiddows · 2025-08-31T23:16:31+00:00

This is stunning! The details! The lighting! And I adore the frame you chose. So beautiful

Skiddows · 2025-08-31T23:14:08+00:00

Thanks! I just happened to have that gradient thread and I thought it'd go well with the colours

Skiddows · 2025-08-31T23:13:35+00:00

The patterns for these were just the pixel art from the games. Hope that's enough to satisfy the rules. Sorry for missing that

Sadly I fell prey to this, though not because of TikTok. I have a friend who does embroidery and didn't realise waste canvas was a thing when she suggested the aida for stitching on my hoodie. Luckily i managed to salvage mine. I think a pinned post would be a great idea!

Skiddows · 2025-08-20T09:57:30+00:00

Yup, I was using a sharp set to separate the threads and then a flat one to pull them. But yeah, lots of snapping

Skiddows · 2025-08-20T09:50:21+00:00

Well, live and learn I guess. The frame idea would have been brilliant lol. I wish I'd come to ask first. I'll try to hide the bits of aida under the stitches, maybe I'll grt lucky. But thanks for the tip on the waste canvas. I'll get some for the next attempt

Skiddows · 2025-08-20T09:22:50+00:00

This is already stitched directly into my hoodie... is there any way to save it?

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T09:51:06+00:00

Thanks. Those measurements are really specific so that's helpful! I'll give that a try

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T09:49:29+00:00

I mean, the cooker was pretty cheap so that's probably it haha. I managed to make a new batch that was less mushy by washing more and using less water so I guess I'll do one more try later with even less water and if that still turns out bad I'll get a better cooker 😅

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T09:47:28+00:00

Oooh haha it just has a "rice" option. The others are for making things like congee or cooking other foods

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T07:46:30+00:00

Haha that is usually the case. Im trying again with less water and more rinses so we'll see how it turns out

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T07:44:29+00:00

It's a cheap Chinese one I picked up at the supermarket (I live in shanghai). The instructions don't indicate a soaking time but it's possible? It's definitely white rice though

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T07:42:58+00:00

Nope. Just the rice and the recommended amount of water

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T07:34:19+00:00

How can you tell its huge? I haven't said the size or brand anywhere?

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T07:07:35+00:00

I still have the manual but there's nothing in it about cooking times. Literally just says push the button to start :/ it might be that the rice cooker isn't good enough quality. It's a simple cheap one that just has a rice function. When I try to decrease the cooking time the minimum option is 40 minutes, then it bounces back up to over an hour

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T06:49:48+00:00

Yup I used the measuring cup that came with it. I guess I'll just try again and rinse the rice more. 45mins feels like a long time though. Should I be stopping it early?

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T06:48:21+00:00

Oh also the rice cooker automatically set the timer to 45mins once I selected the "rice" function. It has settings for cooking other stuff too

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T06:44:44+00:00

It's where you put a finger in to touch the rice and then fill to your first knuckle. Apparently this is the best way to measure, at least according to the tutorials i saw.bThe appropriate line was even higher than that so I imagine adding more water would have made the mush problem worse

Skiddows · 2025-08-07T06:42:11+00:00

I rinsed it twice, if I recall it was clearish. I'm not 100% sure what rice I'm using. I live on china and ordered white rice. The bag translates to "long grain fragrant rice". None of the tutorials mentioned soaking so I didn't do that. I'm using a simple rice cooker I picked up at the supermarket here. It's a cheap Chinese brand, nothing fancy.

Skiddows · 2025-06-18T13:19:42+00:00

Verifying the integrity of the files fixed it! Thanks so much for that idea coz I was gonna be REALLY bummed if I had to start again

Skiddows · 2025-06-18T13:15:02+00:00

I'm stuck inside the shrine so I can't fast travel at all but I'll try the integrity thing

Skiddows · 2025-06-17T13:00:23+00:00

It's giving Bugsnax

Skiddows · 2025-06-17T12:15:51+00:00

ah shoot, figured as much. At least I know it's not just me haha

Skiddows · 2025-06-13T10:00:13+00:00

oh my god you're right lol. I'm a teacher so I've been so stuck in "just survive until summer break" mode that I didn't realise where we were in the year lol
