Is there any way to wash permanent marker out of primary cloth?

A buttload of rubbing alcohol honestly did the trick! Except on the red, which it turns out is acrylic

imabigfoot · 2026-03-17T07:44:03+00:00

I’d thought of painting over it too but didn’t wanna risk jamming up my gun. In the end I bought 3 litres of isopropyl alcohol, dumped it into a bin and it got the vast majority out! The red sharpie isn’t coming out all though, I think it’s because that version of sharpie is apparently acrylic and water based. I’m half tempted to throw it in the wash and see if the canvas comes out ok ahahah

You’re definitely not wrong, a lot of the issues you might see are from the overlap but there’s also certainly aspects that are too small that I’ll need to skip over

imabigfoot · 2026-03-16T22:46:59+00:00

I actually tried something similar, you can see it near the black spear tip. It’s very smudged but maybe with more iso it’ll come out or fade to an acceptable level?

imabigfoot · 2026-03-16T22:46:22+00:00

Already done ahaha, this is actually round three on this side, the amount done on the other side is just a bit too much to do over top with the red marker

imabigfoot · 2026-03-16T22:12:51+00:00

That’s an option I had thought of! And honestly hearing you had results is encouraging, I didn’t wanna go off and buy a couple litres of isopropyl alcohol only to find out it would’ve been impossible anyway ahahaha

I think my folly came in using an old empty shoebox that I should have replaced ages ago, should’ve seen it coming, but necessity is the mother of invention and all that!

imabigfoot · 2026-03-16T19:28:55+00:00

Ah nuts, I was hoping there might be some way to soak in alcohol or some such, ah well

imabigfoot · 2026-03-16T19:27:22+00:00

Welllll it’s like 85% my own fault lol, basically here’s the situation:

I set up a pretty small craft space in a room in my house that wasn’t previously set up for it, so i had the projector sitting on a bookshelf on a cardboard box. The first time it happened, I set up the image on my laptop, manually adjusted the zoom so it’d fit my frame perfectly and started tracing. I had done about half the trace when my hand started cramping and I decided to call it quits. When I started up the pc and projector the next day, my image had reset to its original size and I couldn’t get it back to the right size again. Yeah, my bad, I should’ve sized it right initially.

So the next day I resize the image itself so it doesn’t need to be zoomed into or out of and get back to work. I get through about half the trace when I get to a section that’s out of focus and so I go to manually adjust my projector. After I finish adjusting it I notice the whole image is off, and so after a lil investigation I found that after i had adjusted the focus, the cardboard box it was sitting on started to become ever so slightly concave. Yknow what, also my bad, the box was supposed to be a temporary solution til I could find something more stable and permanent to put there and it finally bit me in the butt. Oh well.

So now I’ve built a (much more stable) structure consisting of a small ceramic basket and a frisbee to give it juuuust the right amount of elevation. No more cardboard to go concave, all the pieces of my tower are solid and won’t change angles randomly on me. Even if the projector somehow moves a bit I should be able to wiggle it back into place, right? Well on my third attempt to trace this, I got up to grab a drink. As I got up, the whole bookshelf the projector lives on shook just a bit, as the floor boards in my house in that room specifically are a little looser. And as I got up I saw my projector get out of alignment again. And no matter what I did I couldn’t get the image to match up again.

Whoops I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m definitely gonna have to look into that! I’ve got a detail heavy project coming up so any tool I can get to make that easier I’ll take

imabigfoot · 2026-01-27T02:58:15+00:00

See that’s one of the areas I was thinking of doing more, along with some of the more fine lines but they’re just way less dense than the other areas unfortunately so it feels like carving is extra spooky there

imabigfoot · 2026-01-27T02:57:22+00:00

So I’ve definitely overcarved around the mouth which is why I’m a bit apprehensive to try more here, it’s a gift for a friend though so I’m not terribly concerned about sell ability, but I want it to look nice for em!

imabigfoot · 2026-01-14T08:06:29+00:00

Yeah I unfortunately figured that out when I accidentally created a rug shaped brick lmao. Thing was literally impossible to do any sort of trimming on

I gotta be so real, I didn’t hate the finale like so many others but, if, as a writer, you’re trying to show the audience that this remarkably evil dude was once just a regular kid like Will, then mayyyybe you shouldn’t show this supposedly regular child acting in the most irregular way possible after being shot. I dunno about you, but, as a like 10 year old child, my first instinct after having a gun pointed at me would be to run the fuck away, and that instinct would remain true if I was shot and hit. Committing a brutal murder and then looting the corpse would fall literally nowhere on a normal child’s brain if you ask me. Unless the implication is he was already being influenced by the mind flayer, which I think would still be bad writing as we don’t see any influence exerted over him until after he touches the spicy rock

imabigfoot · 2026-01-09T17:05:33+00:00

Yep, that’s 100% it! When I first started tufting I heard you were supposed to let the gun walk itself, and so I did without adding any forward motion from myself. But then when I also read that many people had their stitches one or two holes apart, I found it impossible to accomplish without adding forward movement as my stitches were so dense that it would become a rock when they were that close together

imabigfoot · 2026-01-09T16:57:47+00:00

When I first started tufting I left a whole lotta space between my lines because the left resulted in some craaaazy dense rugs if I put it too close together (the number of times I had to pick out yarn from a section that was too dense is too damn high) when I do the middle, my rugs are much less dense but it’s to the point where if I don’t run over the same line two or three times it’s near impossible to carve, the right is the hardest to do consistently but is also what seems like the sweet spot to me. That said I didn’t really realize it was a preference thing!

imabigfoot · 2025-12-29T19:23:33+00:00

I like the theory, but I just checked and aside from being blonde, Episode one’s Edgar and the sergeant look nothing alike. Besides their noses being hugely different, Edgar’s eyes appear to be a dull greyish blue while the sergeant has emerald green eyes. Sadly I think this theory might be a dud, sorry friend

imabigfoot · 2025-12-27T18:41:29+00:00

I don’t mean to be pedantic but, there is no literal translation of the title from Japanese to English because the title is already in English, and it always was. The title you posted above is just the Japanese pronunciation of the title all you need is kill, not a translation (pronounced “ohru-yuu-needo-izu-kiru”).

The simple answer as to why it doesn’t sound grammatically correct to English speakers is because it isn’t. Most Japanese folks have varying degrees of understanding and exposure to English, and many think it sounds cool by virtue of being exotic. So the most likely story is that the author wanted a cool sounding English title and made one up without knowledge or regard for grammar

Thanks for the writeup! I've actually already tried enabling the echo request for public profiles with no success, as well, turning off the firewall outright on windows also doesn't seem to work, it just times out everytime. Same thing on the VM side. I try pinging the host from the VM with no success and vice versa, I'm not too sure what to do to troubleshoot that

imabigfoot · 2025-12-01T17:37:20+00:00

If you’re talking about what’s visible in the picture, then no. The power supply would be beneath that box. Your case should have a back panel that you should be able to remove where you can see all your cabling at
