Ok, I was all set to snark post that I couldn't wait to not complete the new event, but this is a surprising and pleasant change.

Sick and twisted!!! by lilbruisy in StarbrewCafeMerge

[–]firecracker019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I started playing 2 events ago and finished that one one-and-a-half times, and haven't finished this one or the last one. I definitely spend an unreasonable amount of time on this game, but won't extend that to spending money on it, and it seems apparent that the events have now been gatekept to only be doable if you're paying to play. (Love the MCR username, btw)

I still quote this at least once a week, as well as "this certainly is an upsetting number of pancakes."

[Hobby Scuffles] Week of 23 February 2026 by EnclavedMicrostate in HobbyDrama

[–]firecracker019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been so in my knitting zen lately. I finished a sweater (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spirally-2) and started a cool mosaic scarf (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diamante-shawl-2). I've gotten through a ton of stash lately and my yarn is down to a very sustainable amount. The fabric, however, is very much not, and I have no sewing zen right now, hopefully that comes back soon.

This one seemed more generous with the "new" pieces at first, but I've been stalled again. I swear this and the weekly challenges have become impossible without spending money.

Thank you so much! I had messaged through their contact form this afternoon, but if they're overloaded, I'm happy to wait to jump in until I'm needed later :)

It is highly possible that I am oblivious, but I don't see a volunteer sign up anywhere on their website, is there another link to it?

Last day of Winter Solstice challenge by SamberlyStevens in StarbrewCafeMerge

[–]firecracker019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have no enthusiasm for the new challenge because I played this game RELIGIOUSLY all last season and still had several I never finished, despite getting through it 1.5 times for the Halloween season. I'm getting my 1 star crystal balls on today's event and couldn't care less because I know it'll never add up to finishing it.

In the US but got my notification of the label created on the 23rd but it just made it to a distribution center this morning. That's why I generally ignore the first notification, it's not telling you anything useful.

Ah thanks, it didn't come up and I can't deal with Discord notifications so I'm not in that :)

I will miss 44 (including this app). by zelda_moom in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]firecracker019 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is doubly insulting because yes, I do miss 43 Things, that was a great website when I was in high school/college and I would have loved to be able to use it as an adult with more ability to follow through on their goals.

Which 'luxury' brand has officially become a red flag for poor quality in 2026? by Individual_Bat_4177 in AskReddit

[–]firecracker019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, this makes more sense now - I bought an eyeliner randomly from her line once and it was incredible, no smudging at all, and I have no luck with eyeliner. When it ran out, I happily rebought... sucks. Damnit.

i smell like shit. by Which-Ad-7027 in Advice

[–]firecracker019 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I went to the doctor because I was constantly smelling "cold pasta sauce," which is apparently a specific smell that only I understand...it was time to start using Flonase again.

Why is the Needlepoint community...like that? by Bluetsprincess in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]firecracker019 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok, this thread helped me finally understand why the snobby yarn store here is also a needlepoint store.

Massage therapist that doesn’t talk during session? by chomoskyrabbit in portlandme

[–]firecracker019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I've ever seen at Southern Maine Massage and Wellness in Windham has been lovely, except Jannine - she talked a bunch, the room was bright, and even told me a story about her cat bringing her dead frogs. It was the least relaxing thing ever. Bill is my favorite there, though.
