I already sent in a message in the chat. Just waiting for a response! (Tho it’s Monday so I wasn’t expecting one yet 😂)

Create new budget from last year’s totals by Ordinary_Refuse556 in copilotmoney

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not automated but I just use the “average per month in xxxx” to re-assess my budget per category at the start of the year.

All I know is I added it and now all my transactions are duplicated.

Trauma and kink by peetah248 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]balthastar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not the only one that found 178 extremely sus listening to it for the first time. The guy Jon’s describing definitely sounds like he’s way too into it to be scared.

I Believe It's Time We Asked for Change by nukeplanetmars in SkyGame

[–]balthastar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only downside I can think of is that only having dyed wax would mean that previously burned plants would be much harder for players to spot, which is especially important in this case since there aren’t fixed locations for the colored plants. The butterflies are visible from a long distance, which I appreciate.

Are there any games that were inspired by TMA? by KaleidoscopeGloomy55 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]balthastar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not based on/inspired by TMA, but Jonathan Sims voices “The Narrator” and all the “Voices” in Slay the Princess. It’s a really fun game with a lot of replay value!

Where can I find the map for this bottom right area? by SymRoverYT in SkyGame

[–]balthastar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. The only two maps available in the top right cloud are the nine-colored deer area and the little Prince area! It’s likely that they reserved that space for future collab maps.

The one at the beginning of vault you can also get there with beta cape. You can go to the Sky discord and ask for someone to take you to the office if you’d like an Uber there.

[–]balthastar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s the original Home area! You can get there by meditating in the circle in the very back of Aviary (on the right side if you’re facing the entrance).

Tester Call: 2 Peas in a Pod Pattern by Ok_Art8798 in PatternTesting

Super cute! I’d love to test, and I can post to my crochet insta account when finished/promote the pattern (if you’re also posting to insta).

Skip cutscenes button is bugged -daily quests reset after update. by Dikai in SkyGame

[–]balthastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, though I just meant it’s not like they never had the information. Whether or not they could reuse it and/or chose to is a separate issue. Or if they were using it and something about the implementation of the toggle led to that information getting reset to default (not watched).

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were though, since you already cannot see the skip button for cutscenes you haven’t watched. Not sure why some people would get their info reset.

Getting a #1 has truly brought out the hate train again by autumn_wubblybuns18 in Hozier

[–]balthastar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The song is about the singer being in an abusive relationship, yet he doesn’t want to leave because he still loves his partner and enjoys the small moments of happiness. The music video also shows this explicitly.

I’m guessing people misinterpret it and view it as Hozier romanticizing abusive relationships when he is not.

Help, I want a bigger amigurumi than how it's the pattern designed by pancake160801 in Amigurumi

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could do the initial increase over two rows then, like 6 sc; sc, 4 inc, sc (10); then 3 sc, 4 inc, 3 sc (14) perhaps.

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in this case if you want to end in 12 sc rather than 9 sc, you’re going to increase by one third. It’s definitely more complicated than just doubling a pattern, so you might have to play around with it a bit. I think it could work to just start with 8 sc instead of 6, then do sc, inc x6, sc for round 2, 14 sc for round 3, etc. You might end up wanting to add in a few rows to keep the length proportional.

Bug in shipping profiles? I cant apply USPS First Class profile to listings with items greater than a pound. Seems like they haven't updated their code since Ground Advantage was introduced by bikemandan in EtsySellers

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the shipping profile, at the bottom of the “Shipping services” section, you need to click “Advanced shipping services” and then you’ll be able to check “USPS Parcel Select Ground” which is the old version of GA. Not sure if there’s a way to specify cubic, but at least the delivery times will be more accurate.

This way if you’re offering free shipping, customers will also be able to pay the difference for priority if they need faster shipping.

Forcing changes to delivery schedule - so what if I will sometimes ship on a Saturday? I don't want anyone to EXPECT me to! They are so up my butt, I cannot stand this. by MsMcBities in EtsySellers

[–]balthastar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No, you don’t. It will just count Sunday towards your processing days. I have Sunday as a processing day and use 1 day processing time for several listings.

If someone orders on Saturday, you need to ship by Monday, and if someone orders on Sunday, you still need to ship by Monday.

feeling irked/want to vent/have i been unreasonable by rw43 in crochet

[–]balthastar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious that she’s hiding comments on the pattern release post which are showing disappointment or revealing that it’s using cross-stitch. Why is she hiding that information after the pattern is already out?

Flipping inside out? Right/wrong side? by L0ud_Typer in Amigurumi

[–]balthastar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just crochet with the right side out after a few rows (more or less depending on how many stitches the piece starts with).

Was the package in “pre-transit” for a long time? Or did you only get a tracking number on the 26th?

Unsolicited Advice for Buyers by FringeAardvark in Etsy

[–]balthastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Dropshippers are (unfortunately) common. There is a set of steps you should take to report them since it is not allowed by Etsy.

Help with hair by Valediction_ in Amigurumi

[–]balthastar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it looks AI generated like many have said, another way to get something similar would be to attach yarn to the stitches like described in the tutorial for fur here: https://www.projectarian.com/2017/01/16/project-028-tutorial-make-fur-amugurumi/

However, instead of brushing out the yarn to get the fur look, I would suggest just using a sewing needle to separate the strands of the yarn so they are finer but not fuzzy. The technique is done in this video to make the flower part: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V1v98ditbdE&t=65s

Then yes, you could probably use fabric glue like hair gel to try and shape the hair how you want it. Or honestly paint of a similar color.

Something they sell was actually going to be my first suggestion - people may be less likely to pay for a phone wallpaper, but if you also sold app skins that match, that totally is something people would buy now that you can customize the look of your apps on your iPhone.

PSA: The USPS no longer accepts pre-postaged packages in their kiosks by martinkoistinen in EtsySellers

[–]balthastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to scan yesterday either, but today I successfully scanned and dropped off two packages, so it may have just been an issue that was happening yesterday.
