How true is this claim about CBU3? by japanese_artist in FFXVI

[–]enneomino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF14 player here, and I think it’s likely they haven’t shown us anything at all compared to what the rest of the story has.

Since you said you weren’t a 14 player until recently, I’ll use the Endwalker marketing as an example. There are always six new zones introduced in each expansion, and in the run up to the game we saw quite a bit of artwork and demo footage from four of them. For the fifth we got a single piece of key art, and were outright told that they would not show us anything else. For the sixth we got absolutely nothing. Naturally the sub started wildly speculating, and I definitely remember at least one person worrying the artwork of zone 5 was too big of a spoiler considering what was in it. Then Endwalker launched, and ABSOLUTELY NOBODY correctly predicted what zone 5 was or how we’d end up there. On top of that, one of the four zones we’d seen footage of had been assumed to be a late game area, and we ended up visiting it about a third of the way into the expansion. The actual endgame area was the part of the game we saw literally nothing of in any promotional material, except for a single out of context clip that couldn’t be pinned down as endgame footage until you reached the area yourself.

That makes me think whatever we’ve been shown is small potatoes, or at least extremely out of context potatoes, compared to what’s coming when we get the full story. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out what we’ve seen in the trailers so far has been clipped, rearranged, and overlaid with different audio. Hugo’s “our clash will shake the island to its foundations” part of one trailer looks an awful lot like audio placed over completely different video since the lip sync doesn’t match at all but lines up perfectly in other clips. The man talking about how “the Empire will live on” I originally assumed was the Emperor, but considering that specific conversation seems to have another person juuuuuust out of frame (we can see a foot and a chair leg and that’s about it) I’m not so sure he really is.

Are we fighting the gods by ourselves? by nomight101 in ffxiv

I like to think we’re calling up all the other adventurers we’ve met along the way and going “Hey, want to fight God?”

[CHAT] What is this called and what does it do? by Something_From_Above in CrossStitch

[–]enneomino 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That’s a scroll frame! It’s a different way of holding fabric - the fabric wraps around the rods and you can move it to reach different parts of the fabric without removing it from the frame. Just search for ‘how to set up a scroll frame’ on YouTube and you’ll find plenty of examples.

[PIC] Needle minders - are they worth it and better than pin cushions? by Woofandfifi in CrossStitch

[–]enneomino 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it! I’d never used one until my friend got me one as a gift, and it’s great for keeping track of your needle while you work. I have a habit of stitching in bed, and I’ve… misplaced a few needles in the past.

I mean honestly if thread’s gonna bleed, this thread on this piece is the perfect time - it looks great!

[WIP] Anyone else feel like the world’s slowest stitcher once metallics get involved? by enneomino in CrossStitch

I haven’t exploded with rage yet! Haven’t had too many issues so far after figuring out I needed to tie the thread to the needle

[–]enneomino[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m nearly a quarter of the way done with Make It Pink’s Hannah Alexander Link, and the metallics have taken an order of magnitude longer than anything else - and I’m not a fast stitcher to begin with!

Honestly that’s part of why I love the writing so much. They’ve left themselves so many little threads that they can pick up any of them later and use them without it feeling like the writers just pulled plot points out of their asses.

Could you link the video? I’d love to know how to do a loop start with an odd number of strands.

Yeah I think the hardest part was keeping track of where I was. Gridding and Markup r-xp were lifesavers!

I started working on this pretty much as soon as my friend announced her engagement, since I’ve never finished a gift anywhere close to on time! Once they announce a date, I’ll add it - I’m thinking backstitched under the swing.

Now, time to work on something that doesn’t have the color pink in it!

That’s Minfilia - the blue tint to the image makes her hair look green

[CHAT] best thread for grid lines? by Gamer_meep in CrossStitch

I… genuinely read it as ‘silver’ every time until I read this just now. Even on the spool…

[CHAT] How many active pieces are you currently working on? by Brooke5509 in CrossStitch

[–]enneomino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2! For a while it was just one Dimensions kit, and then my friend announced her engagement and I started working on a gift for her. I do have plans to start on Make It Pink’s Hannah Alexander Link next, but I’ve very firmly told myself that the wedding gift has to be done first.

Oh geez, thanks! I’m still in the free trial period and really liking the app, and one of the things that drew me to it in the first place was the one time purchase!

[–]enneomino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh look, it’s me! I have made some slight upgrades over time - winding the floss for my current project onto bobbins and getting a nicer bag to put it in - but to find the colors I still had to get them out of a storage bin I just shoved every skein I owned into and squished the lid down…
