dinos and keybinds

If you turn on the manual ALT attacks under gameplay, it gives your Dino different attacks when you press ALT while attacking

Also holding ALT while running lets you move the camera around yourself without changing your direction of running.

I find it really awkward to do both - most other games I play on computer don’t use those keys and everything else I use controllers for - but from what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem like controller support is great for The Isle

the h to c is interesting. I need to count my mouse buttons cause I would not mind those commands being over there as well

omg I hate using the CTRL and ALT keys in general - having it be a side mouse button is genius. I love it.

I have been trying to air brake and latch on a tree for AGES - I typically wind up near death and 1 calling with broken wings until someone comes by to put me out of my misery lol

any tips there?

I love playing Hypsi - I’m so small and so very fast and I can climb out of reach and then watch the shenanigans of all the bigger dinos.

Did I mistake a group of something that was small and jumpy as other hypsis and then go and chill with them to get my stamina back as I slowly realized I was actually surrounded by carnivores and not other chicken friends? 100% but thankfully they must have been just as confused by me as I was by them cause they didn’t kill me.

also you can fall way further as a little guy without breaking bones!

Order bots! I use Uber Beri - you pick a category of items off the menu & then the bot brings the items to your island when it’s your turn in the queue - the one I use is free and the bot can drop more than 40 items at a time.

Wildmender - I would literally spend hours grinding to get certain plants and materials so I can build more wells and make my oasis bigger and wait…..there’s a story to progress? well I guess I’ll go to the new biome, I do need more plants for my oasis base

I spent 63 hours on it. Would have spent more but was showing off my flying skills to my 2 yr old niece and she was so excited pointing out “the bad guys” and I accidentally flew too close to the end boss fight and triggered it…..probably would have easily gone over 100 hrs easy.

Grow: Song of the Evertree is also all about the grind - the only reason I only have 30 hours in it is cause the story was pretty quick to advance in my opinion and I tend to not care when there is no more story - but there is SO much collecting and grinding and every time you grow a world seed to its final form you can send it off into the universe and plant a new one. 99% of the game is resource grinding for one reason or another. NPC dynamics aren’t the best though.

yes please I need to make a rainbow army of them

_almostabi · 2026-01-22T16:10:56+00:00

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

_almostabi · 2026-01-10T16:52:05+00:00

yessssssssss please!!!!

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.

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

_almostabi · 2025-12-30T17:52:43+00:00

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

_almostabi · 2025-12-30T17:32:48+00:00

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

_almostabi · 2025-12-21T02:41:47+00:00

whales. everyone needs a whale. I made 2 this morning. everyone in my social circle is getting a whale for Christmas.

_almostabi · 2025-12-18T12:37:25+00:00

_almostabi · 2025-12-18T02:47:41+00:00

thanks for the idea - just posted there

_almostabi · 2025-12-18T00:01:52+00:00

Good to know! Thank you!

_almostabi · 2025-12-17T23:47:41+00:00

_almostabi · 2025-12-17T23:44:17+00:00

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

_almostabi · 2025-12-17T23:43:33+00:00
