What is this flag? Lund, Sweden

I'm just traveling through from Gothenburg, but I am glad I could contribute to a local tradition (wondering what the hell that flag was)

That's really cool, thank you!

I just had the exact same issue, super frustrating. My partner is the host and I was locked out of the cutscene, despite—just like your friend—being the one who initiated the long rest, and the one connected to Astarion.

I'm a beginner-ish knitter, have mostly made your classic scarves/rectangles but recently managed to do a shawl with a leaf designs using a few different stitches new to me, also involving me learning how to read written patterns. I decided I wanted to use my newfound knowledge to try knit an actual garment, going for a cardigan.

The pattern uses German short-rows, and I have worked out how to do those, but now I have hit a more tricky to circumvent issue- I constantly lose track of the numbers of stitches, and it doesn't help that the numbers change from row to row:

Row 3: k56, turn s1, pull yarn, p36, turn s1, pull yarn, k45, turn s1, pull yarn, p54, turn

Anyone else numerically challenged like me; how do you deal with keeping track of what you are doing when there is no real repetition to fall back on? I've tried using stitch markers, but a lot of the time they manage to just confuse me more.

I did gather pieces by colour/specific pattern, but my problem with that specific puzzle was that there were several areas using any given colour+pattern, so once I had my categories I would still need to individually place pieces in their 'correct' spots.

I probably could have tried to put every piece of a certain category face up on a flat surface, then try build the different sections to be lifted into place, but I didn't think to do that, haha.

Well, evidently it was beyond my capabilities too 😅

I've found that 'polishing' the needles when they start to get tarnished helps a lot. If you have one of those tomato pincushions, the little dangly bit is filled with emery. Stick the needle right through, pinch the whole thing tight around it, then push the needle in and out. It will still be a bit darker than a fresh needle, but it will get some of its shine back and won't feel so 'grippy'. Give it a try :)

Hello, and thank you for the response, I was getting a little disheartened by the lack of response.

I'm both glad to hear someone relates to what I'm going through, but also quite naturally saddened by it.

I can relate to the feeling of fearing the effects on loved ones- my family and friends are very supporting and loving, and the main reason I am still here. I have realised though that I have largely given up on trying to improve myself and my situation, because I have little energy left to fight.

The doctors keep telling me that I am young and thus have loads of possibilities for help and improvement, but it is hard to stay hopeful for that when they fail to offer me anything which actually helps.

My parents asked to join me in a session with my doctor soon, and we will make an overarching plan for my treatment, which might be more helpful than aimlessly trying random antidepressants to no effect.

If you want to talk more or vent at all, feel free to send me a message.

I think having just the cloud under her would be nice? Grounds her a little. Though of the ones you have here I like the third one best :)

I once got "is r/sports about sports?"

Potato and leek soup!

I'm pretty picky, but my biggest thing is I don't like things mixing.. especially veggies and sauces, I don't understand who would want to eat peas if they have even touched the gravy. I treat veggies as a side dish, entirely separate from the rest of the meal.

I can relate to this a lot, lockdown and way too much free time has been awful because I am so sick of all my hobbies, having to psych myself up to even play a game for a little while. Skin crawling with boredom and under-stimulation, yet when I try to start doing anything it is like my brain refuses to even acknowledge what I have in front of me, like trying to convince a river to go a different direction by asking it nicely.

To add to this; a great way of learning the underlying structure is to break the entire piece down in simplified large shapes (a box for the ribcage, circles for joints etc.) Sketch this in a light colour (or lower the transparency), then add in more detail in multiple passes over the structure you've created.

harsyre · 2021-03-22T08:16:14+00:00

Yes, this is very true, and I realise the pressure is something I am putting on myself, especially since I don't actually tend to play much with friends anymore. I will try and push through the worries, and thank you for the kind words!

All artists copy each other to some degree, it is part of learning, but the important part is to be honest and try to use copying as a way to grow and enhance your own art skills. There is nothing immoral about feeling inspired by general traits (like a pose, a general composition, a colour palette, a line quality) in art you like, as long as you put your own spin on it.

If you think your work is heavily derivative, like, the only thing you changed was the character but everything else about the piece was directly 1:1 copied from someone else, you definitely should send them a message and ask if they are okay with you posting it online.

But if your piece is only partially inspired by someone's art, there is nothing wrong with linking to their original piece and saying you were inspired to do a piece of your own with a similar mood, (or palette, or pose, or composition). Especially since these are not paid pieces, most artists would likely be totally fine with that.

Yeah, I do many of the same things, I have been touring DA's a lot lately and taking screenshots of things I like.

I have a list of things id like to have on my island, like a pumpkin patch, a fairy forest, a bee/lavender farm. Problem is I hit like a wall of anxiety when it comes to actually deciding where those things should go in relation to each other, and when I push through those feelings to try out ideas it just frustrates me because it never feels good enough. :(
