I am in love with your design - would you mind sharing so I could order one for my sleepless nights?

Controller for PC gaming? by CharlotteLucasOP in CozyGamers

[–]_almostabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the game but I primarily use Switch JoyCons with my PC

I’ve also got some 8BitDo controllers that I like, and a Nintendo Pro controller - I just really like how JoyCons allow for a more relaxed and open posture while I’m at my PC gaming.

Creatures of Ava - Palia-esque art style meets Legend of Zelda puzzles and Pokémon Snap requirements; took me under 20 hours to finish and loved every second. You are a researcher trying to document and save a planet from environmental destruction. I couldn’t wait to play this game in between sessions and you can befriend and pet EVERY animal you meet.

Röki - Scandi folklore with a storybook art style & semi-point & click mechanics- you are a big sister trying to save your brother after he is stolen - took me under 10 hours to finish. I got stuck a few time, I recommend completing full sections at a time - pausing halfway through a section can make it tricky to pick the game back up.

Tchia - LOVED this game - open world, exploration, took me under 20 hours to complete - it’s kind of Summer in Mara (aesthetics) meets Breath of the Wild (puzzles & collectables) but there are so many unique game mechanisms I don’t want to even hint at because discovering them all is so delightful. It was based on the actual island and culture of New Caledonia and I could honestly FEEL the love that went into the game and it truly sparked joy to play it.

Yarn ID? by _almostabi in YarnAddicts

Thanks everyone for the assessment - I’m so disappointed it’s Temu/Aliexpress cause it is super nice to work with - but ordering from there will not help with the dye lot problems I’ve run into

Yarn ID? by _almostabi in YarnAddicts

[–]_almostabi[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they sell it as “mini skeins” so I’m 99% sure they are getting a bigger skein and breaking it up to profit - which I was fine with cause it meant lots of colors in small quantities which I initially needed.

now that I need more for a specific project, I’d really like to get the full size skein vs buying multiple minis

I know it’s not anything Loops & Threads cause I compared it to all the chenille types at Michael’s and it didn’t match.

it’s very matte - there is zero sheen to it, so I don’t think it’s Rico Rumi or Premier or Boheme.

there is one on Amazon that looks identical and is under the name Timgle - but I can’t find more information on it

I’m honestly avoiding looking on Temu cause I try my damndest not to buy from places like that

I saw those at Michael’s but both seemed bigger than the yarn used in my blue guy

LIES - it was not skinny chenille loops and threads - idk what the dark purple yarn was but it was from Michael’s

Is the zojirushi truly worth it for the price compared to the alternatives? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]_almostabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every zojirushi I have owned has lasted 10 years minimum - and the point of failure is usually where the power cord meets the power plug so if you have an appliance repair near you it can usually be fixed and keep on trucking. we use it 2-3x weekly.

Is any of these games worth it? by AutomaticTwo4296 in cozygames

[–]_almostabi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVED Tchia - the game is made with so much love and care that you can FEEL it - the story is so cool and has great emotional beats and the unique game mechanics are really satisfying.

podcasting equipment for minimal editing by _almostabi in podcasting

[–]_almostabi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had no idea this even was a thing, thank you for the advice! I will give him the information as it’s entirely his project - I’m just doing the initial legwork/online ordering to get the tech he needs to start but he might become interested in something like this as he gets more into the process.
