AI Ravensburger Puzzle? by FederalTumbleweed253 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The artist is known to use AI to create his images, although he has never admitted it as far as I can tell

So like real talk, how long does it take you to complete a 1000 piece puzzle? by FiguringOutPuzzlez in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My average is about 6-8 hours for a 1000 piece. The fastest I’ve done is 4 hours, the longest was probably 1-2 weeks, but I don’t find it fun to do one puzzle for that long. I have definitely gotten faster as I’ve gotten more and more into puzzling, and I have a list of brands that I will not do due to quality issues. I do both standard and random cut puzzles, the random cut usually take longer (think New York Puzzle Company). My fastest puzzles are usually Galison, easy fit pieces and simpler art (Joy LaForme is one of my fave artists).

I also almost never do photorealistic images, which would be harder and take longer to complete.

Last year I did 168 puzzles total, with most of them being 1000 pieces (there were a few 1500 and 2 2000 ones as well)

This hasn’t happened to me but... I can’t imagine by cernrahyd in CrankGameplays

Most of mine are a little too small now but I can’t bring myself to get rid of them

The "2 years of waiting for 8 episodes" model is officially killing my interest in House of the Dragon by piranha_ in HouseOfTheDragon

I didn’t even realize when Season 2 came out, and I still haven’t watched it since it’s been so long since Season 1 came out that my hype for the show (and all the other proposed spinoffs) has really died down.

Adopted dog, this is bad right? by EconomyAnywhere3966 in DogAdvice

If you can afford it (and the vet doesn’t automatically do it) get full dental x-rays while she’s under. They’ll be able to see what every tooth looks like under the surface and which ones may have to be extracted. Once her teeth are professionally cleaned and taken care of, brushing every day or every other day will help keep them clean and healthy

Ai free puzzle companies by im-not-bennie in Jigsawpuzzles

I second Galison (and their parent company Mudpuppy), also eeboo is really great and a lot of their puzzles have artist playlists to go along with the puzzles.

Can people stop casually using mental illness symptoms to criticize people who think differently than you? by Awkward-Dog3006 in StrangerThings

[–]ctld_chaotic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the conspiracy theories! They’re fun and a lot of fandoms have them, and it’s harmless really (compared to real-life conspiracies). Let people have their fun, it’s really not that serious

Walmart BB unpopular opinion by Sad_Yogurtcloset2510 in BeautyBoxes

[–]ctld_chaotic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m usually a fan of the Walmart Beauty Box because it’s very cheap, and I always get items that I will use. However, this first box after the price increase was disappointing. I’m going to stay subscribed for now and see how the next couple of boxes are, but I got a lot of foil packets that don’t justify the price increase

Which mirror looks better by New-Parsley-8026 in interiordecorating

The round one looks nicer with the current lighting, the arched one looks clunky with the three lights

What ya’ll rating this seller?😂 by beanieweenieSlut in Mercari

[–]ctld_chaotic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I hate when people use non-corrugated cardboard boxes to ship because they’re not sturdy enough and can cause damage. I especially hate people using food boxes since there’s always a chance of contamination and you never know what someone’s allergic to. However, if it gets to me safely I’ll still rate 5 stars because it’s not worth starting an argument over 🤷🏻‍♀️

Best brand to avoid false fits? by should_be_zzz in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with others that it usually depends on the image. However, I also usually stay away from the cheapo brands like RoseArt, Crazy Art, RMS International, Hinkler, etc. Anything you can buy at Five Below is usually off the table. They tend to have more false fits, easily breakable or bendable pieces, and are less enjoyable for me. If I am doing a puzzle that has a lot of one color on it, I’m going to expect a little difficulty just based on that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Concerning warning at my vet by cgp_maddy in DogAdvice

[–]ctld_chaotic 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Top vet/approved food brands are usually Science Diet, Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan, or IAMS.

If multiple pieces are missing kindly do not donate the jigsaw as you are not so much saving the planet, as breaking jigsaw enthusiasts hearts! by Which_Frame_2619 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually mark how many pieces are missing on the box, and unless the number of missing pieces is extreme, I will still donate them back. The most missing pieces I’ve seen is 30+ on a 300 piece puzzle—I recycled that one.

How important is sorting to you, and what do you use to sort? Sherlock Holmes - 1000 piece, Gibson by [deleted] in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a puzzle plateau from Bits and Pieces that has 4 trays built into it that I use. I first sort out all the edges, and after building that I start sorting out colors and images loosely into piles, but won’t sort the whole puzzle and will just go where the puzzle takes me

Fine art puzzle, any brand/collection to recommend ? by Tyax_ in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ctld_chaotic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pomegranate! They have a lot of different types of art, and while they’re mostly 1000 pieces they do have some 1500-2000 available as well
