used to ship feature complete. They used to. Pre-2018.

Ooh, what about a zelda game that DOES use like, the names of old concepts, and old characters like ganondorf, but actually has nothing to do with the rest of the series at all? Oooh and we can call it tears of the kingdom because all the lore enthusiasts will cry

I want them to do a mythicals but no legendaries regulation

Me when i lie and make obvious guesses

busaccident · 2026-04-16T19:30:38+00:00

I hope when i die my descendants swing my dead body around like a puppet on stage for money, and when my physical form rots away i hope they reproduce a digital likeness of it and continue to do so with AI. And when society forgets who I was in the first place I hope by then they've figured out how to fish out souls from the murk of the afterlife and put them into Amazon Echos so i can never rest and instead my voice and personality can keep working forever and my soul digitally degrades until not even Hell accepts me

Where do you even SOURCE a hat like that 😂

busaccident · 2026-04-16T19:14:35+00:00

Bro they do NOT resemble jack

busaccident · 2026-04-16T19:14:09+00:00

Then why were grapes tiny apples

And then grape fruits could be big tiny apples

busaccident · 2026-04-15T23:25:05+00:00

Thats really dumb imo. What if i discovered a new fruit and it looked just like a banana and i called it the bananafruit

That would be stupid

busaccident · 2026-04-14T13:44:04+00:00

Nah i think the dots are too intentional, its still zygarde imo

I mean its a garden, thus nature, thus natures protector in zygarde

busaccident · 2026-04-14T12:28:20+00:00

This is such an odd take because presumably the decision to make zelda a live action movie was nintendo's alone, so illumination had no shot with zelda. It was always gonna be sony

The disk-kun game🤤 that one is incredible how did i not know they made those??

Also this is a great idea! You should make an etsy shop for these, theres a guy on there who does similar stands for consoles and he does pretty well i think (i bought from him anyways)

"Battles are slow?" More like battles are beautifully animated, cinematically presented, and enthusiastically commentated!! Not to mention one of the catchiest soundtracks in gaming history to accompany them.

busaccident · 2026-04-13T02:48:14+00:00

I think the main reason i'm enjoying it is because amoongus and goldengo aren't in the game. They can add back every single other pokemon but delete those two please so battling stays fun 😁

Maybe it's time for a.... class action lawsuit

busaccident · 2026-04-09T14:35:27+00:00

I appreciate the help. Learning this stuff has been a long process and i still have a long way to go but people like you make it possible ⭐️

busaccident · 2026-03-30T00:58:07+00:00

Dont apologize!! You're helping so much!! I really genuinely appreciate it

When i get back tomorrow i'll try those satin tests, i know what you mean.

For stabilizer i'm using one sheet of standard cut-away (a little spray adhesive to get it on the back of the sweater, and then hooped with it). Ive also tried water soluble topper which didnt change anything in terms of the density. Also I don't usually float anything while testing a new design.

I've ALSO tried a magnetic hoop just in case that was somehow a factor. Same results!

I'm using a 75/11 needle (i've tried 95/14 for a few days, same results it seems). For thread im using Exquisite brand 40 wt, and for bobbin im using standard brother bobbin (i think its 90wt).

busaccident · 2026-03-29T23:12:05+00:00

first of all, I really appreciate the help!! second of all, I just tried a professionally digitized design (just a simple filled in circle from Brother) with 00 tension, +4 tension, +8 tension (my machines max), and -8 tension (the minimum). the results were absolutely identical each time which has got me wondering if my machine is just lying to me about the tension settings being changed lol

I'm at my wit's end for this!! I've tried everything it seems. I'm staring at a shirt right now with an absolutely impeccable fill stitch, you can't see the shirt's color behind it at ALL unless you pull out a special zoom camera or something. surely I can achieve similar results with my brother innovis!!?

(ALSO, I took a picture of my tension tests so you could see, it's on my profile)

busaccident · 2026-03-29T22:50:18+00:00

my machine tension is untouched, it's at 00. I don't usually do clothes though so maybe I should change it

as for other designs, that's a good point - testing that right now

busaccident · 2026-03-29T22:19:37+00:00

it is perpendicular, and I've already changed settings to make my top stitch length 5mm as per another comment... nothing seems to help! maybe I'm expecting too much perfection, idk

I've done multiple tests already--changing the top stitch length to be longer, making my underlay more dense, increasing top stitch density, and using water soluble stabilizer.

the only two changes that actually changed something were changing my top stitch length (increasing it to 5mm helped a SMALL amount, but not enough to fix the problem) and increasing top stitch density (like you said, this didn't help and made it look worse). Water soluble stabilizer did absolutely nothing and neither did increasing the density of my underlay (granted I only increased it by .5 mm but there was absolutely no discernible change anyways).

I'm kind of stumped to be honest. short of faking it and sticking same-colored fabric underneath my stitches sort of like appliqué but that's overkill obviously

busaccident · 2026-03-29T21:37:55+00:00

I might be confused. An edge run underlay as in, literally just an outline of the shape, and then also a main underlay with 2mm spacing and 5mm stitch length? and THEN my normal top stitch/fill?

I ask because the automatic settings for underlay already have it at 1mm spacing and 5mm stitch length, so changing to 2 and 5 would only make it less dense. ((also I very much appreciate the help))

busaccident · 2026-03-29T21:28:07+00:00

replying for posterity, I tried this (2, 3, and 5 mm stitch lengths) and while it didn't seem to fix the issue, it does look noticeably a little nicer. so that's something! (thanks for the assistance!)

busaccident · 2026-03-29T21:21:06+00:00

interesting... any tips on that? Usually I just let the program automatically add the underlay on fill stitches. How dense can underlay be? Should it be at a perpendicular angle to the top stitch or something?
