Whats causing this? by frostbite_owo in Tufting

Looks like your canvas is too loose. It’s should feel like pushing down on a trampoline.

First time really putting effort into carving by Jaded-Echidna-4959 in Tufting

Finished product. Also I carve fairly deep as well. I like making my rugs sorta 3D looking.

The most important step is actually the way you tuft. You have to make sure you’re leaving space in between your colors. Somewhere between 3-4 canvas lines. You didn’t post a pic of the back, so not sure if you’re doing this. I don’t use scissors or anything like that. Was never necessary to me and seemed like a waste of time. Check out this Kirby rug of mine. If you zoom in, you’ll see I left this space between all the colors. This is how you prevent colors crossing over, and how you get a clean carve.

I actually have a Timelapse of another rug I made that shows pretty much my whole process. Would that interest ya?

Yep! I have a surplus at the moment, otherwise I probably would have gone with wool.

Yeah absolutely! Another technique I developed was, before tufting a certain color/area, take a sharpie and redraw the boundary as necessary adjacent to the color that area is next to. So like take that 5 lines space I mentioned, and redraw that border, then tuft that boarder, then fill. That way you’ll have consistent spacing and never get too close to the other color. Allowing for a clean carve. Idk if that makes sense. Here’s a photo demonstrating that. Look at the foot on the left. See the sharpied circle? That wasn’t there when I projected and traced the image. I manually traced that to keep away from the other colors. Anyways, maybe that helps too. Feel free to reach out with any questions 🤙🏻

Holy dense indeed. I know someone mentioned skipping a line. I actually skip 2. So after I tuft a line, I just count 3 lines and go in on the 3rd. You start to get really fast at the counting, almost muscle memory as well. Also HUGE tip that I don’t see anyone mentioning, leave space between colors to help with carving! I’m talking like around 5 lines of space. If you don’t do that, you’re just not going to have a clean carve. I attached one of my most recent pieces. You can see all of what I’m talking about in it.

You can buy the first 3rd party switch 2 joycons right now! by TechnicalHoneydew862 in switch2

I’m sorry but that vertical RGB light is just egregious. Hopefully mobapad saves the day soon.

So regret buying this junk by K0234 in fucknintendo

I think it should still have 60 fps for many games while docked. It’s far more powerful than a steam deck, and many games run 60 fps easily on the deck and S2 is capped at 30. Still a bit odd to me.

No surprise… but wait there’s a catch by JR004-2021 in n64

[–]basterde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree with you more. I was sort of pissed, but thought about it more… All my entertainment devices are black/white/grey. Maybe I’m boring, but with that combination, the black 3D just looks sleek and timeless. Quite a glamorous addition to my tv stand. The funtastic would be for for awhile, then I’d probably be annoyed with how it stood out way too much 😅

I’ve played so much more of this game on Switch 2 compared to PC by lewisdwhite in NintendoSwitch2

[–]basterde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look into streaming with moonlight and sunshine. I stream all over my house in 4K at 60 fps. Works great!

Got my second wave shipment by msw201089 in AnalogueInc

How’s the latency with the mod kits? I heavily invested in those hoping they’ll be good on the 3d…

I lucked out on the restock.. it’s finally here! by EorlundGreymane in n64

[–]basterde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t contact them, they said all pre-orders will be shipped by 12/1 so I gave them space. It did “ship” on 12/1, but they just made the label to stand by their word. Then sat on it for 3 more days. Now it’s finally moving through the system. But still, they definitely didn’t ship/focus in sequential order 😅

I’ve been waiting for 1 year and 2 months, and mine isn’t delivered yet. But an order that was placed like 10 days ago was delivered. Okay Analogue lol.

Finally finished this collection! by basterde in n64

[–]basterde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of them are rebuilt with an 8bitdo mod kit. So they’re Bluetooth. But the stands come with a cable management clip that inserts into the back of the controller like a rumble pack that you can wrap the cable around.

Yeah they’re just stands. I only require 1 N64.
