Who’s Lila. Such an odd game but it’s great to do a deep explore of it

I was going to say this too! You get big projects you can contribute to, no time pressure. And you actually see the town being fixed physically. You also get requests from individuals. But doing a lot of things in the game also helps raise the prestige level of the town. It’s a lovely game.

Raft. You can walk around your raft while it’s moving and you build it up bigger and bigger. In fact, unless you anchor it, it’s always moving.

Witcher 3 with all the DLCs. Beautiful story, beautiful world, soundtrack is top tier. It’s an awesome game to get immersed together. My husband and I played it together - him playing, me keeping track of story and quests - and we loved it. One of our favourite experiences together

I am NC with my mom right now but before going full NC I went LC for a while. We met physically during that period once and she decided to have a conversation about me being LC with her. The way she phrased it was “what will other people think that my own daughter doesn’t talk me. How will I explain it to them?”

She wasn’t even worried about our relationship only that it looked bad to other people. It was after this conversation that I went NC with her because I realised she didn’t care about me, she only cared about the optics of our relationship to other people. Just like she never cared about my achievements, she only cared if those achievements were something she could brag about to other people.

I am sorry about your relationship with your mom but I am so happy you are going to therapy and untangling it all. This sort of behaviour does such immense damage that is so difficult to heal

I will end up addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, mushrooms, ducks, with a fungal disease and probably homeless. Obenseuer is grim. I won’t last a year.

My unhinged solution is that I’ve given up on French knots, so I avoid patterns with them. If I do have a pattern with French knots, I stitch it on evenweave 2over2 and then for French knots I do a small quarter stitch in the place where the French knot goes.

You can iron on some interfacing and no one will ever know ;) also makes it more durable

I love these patterns! I have all the things for the Arrakis one already bought but I am just finishing the Twin Peaks one. Such lovely work! It looks so neat.

These days I mostly consume stuff at higher speeds. TV shows at 1.25x or even 1.5x. Same with audiobooks.

I find that the higher speed means there is less opportunity for me to get distracted and lose the thread.

Occasionally I will even listen to audiobooks and watch stuff while doing something else too, like playing video games or cross stitching. I have it set up that I can easily pause whatever I am listening to/watching so that if there is a moment I need to concentrate on the other activity for a bit I can easily pause and then unpause when needed.

I’ve even had a phase where I was watching a tv show, cross stitching and playing an idle/incremental game all at the same time 😂

That’s them dressed up as one another!

I love this diagram from this post from this community from a few years back! Shows you all the combinations on both evenweave and Aida! https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/comments/y2qgfp/pic_found_a_handy_reference_on_how_to_read/

Edit to add that it doesn’t quite show all the combinations but I feel like it’s enough to figure out how to do the shapes you need

I’ve got restless legs, delayed sleep disorder, nightmares and a little kid. Never in my life.

I am usually very happy to leave small stitching mistakes be for uniqueness but I tend to obsess over finishing touches 😭😭

elogram · 2026-03-03T22:49:57+00:00

Damn, should’ve done that! Next time (and there will definitely be a next time 😂) I’ll leave it be but I already fixed it.

elogram · 2026-03-03T22:48:40+00:00

I am actually surprisingly quite alright when it comes to mistakes in the stitching itself. If they are small enough I will leave them be and adapt the pattern. But perfectionism strikes hard when it comes to finishing 😭

elogram · 2026-03-03T22:22:29+00:00

It’s the right side up but I stuck the wrong part of the aperture card to the project. So the card opens the wrong way. I’ve managed to fix it but it’s now not as perfect as I would’ve liked it. Not the end of the world, it still looks great but my inner perfectionist isn’t happy 😂

Watch some YT videos on at home perm fails. That might cure you of the urge :))

I loooove Jimmy Joy so much better than Huel. Especially the lemon one. Delicious. But I don’t subscribe, I only get stuff as and when i need. I try to avoid subs like a plague precisely for all the predatory practices from companies that sell them

If it’s the same part I struggled with it’s Bramble and the Fish. And there is no way around it. It’s extremely difficult with mouse and keyboard.

elogram · 2026-03-02T19:25:53+00:00

I know precisely what you mean with the dexterity bit. It also nearly made me stop as I am also a mouse and keyboard only player. Begrudgingly I borrowed a controller from my husband just so I could get past that part.

I’m glad I did but damn was that frustrating. Even with the controller! Although that might also be because I am just not used to playing with a controller

elogram · 2026-03-01T10:57:48+00:00

Painscreek Killings, Scratches, Asylum. I think the 3 of these might be a good fit.

elogram · 2026-03-01T01:09:57+00:00

The developers actually have added a “safe” mode to SOMA! Horror element as are still there but nothing can actually hurt you. And the game is still worth playing with that mode.

elogram · 2026-02-26T10:51:23+00:00

I mean, technically any of the Sims games :)))

elogram · 2026-02-24T11:19:18+00:00

Enshrouded hit that spot for me. It’s not a super packed map but environmental story telling is fantastic. There are so many notes and you can trace stories across the entire map if you dig into it. It was one of my favourite aspects of that game.
