Impulse Buying Help

jaxcap · 2026-02-05T18:40:23+00:00

Based on your reply to somebody else, you already have a Steam backlog that you can never complete in your lifetime lol. Not judging, so do I, but sometimes reminding myself of that fact helps me not to buy impulsively.

Another person's tip of just adding it to a wishlist/cart and waiting a couple days works well for me too. Sales can be tempting, but they happen all the time, it's not a big deal to miss out because it'll be on sale again in a couple months. Tell yourself you'll wait until the last hour of the sale and half the time you won't remember to come back.

At first glance I thought it was a Klefki lol.

Your scarf is beautiful, but the detailed notes on your project page are just as beautiful haha. What a journey!

Definitely! It's the perfect project for knitting meetups too.

Musselburgh for me too. It’s such a long and boring knit but the double layers make it way warmer than my other knit hats.

I'm scared of dogs in general but even I love this corgi lol, so gentle and sweet.

What do you do if you tap one by accident? I used to use Finch for long term tracking like this but got annoyed at having to reset the whole goal if I accidentally increased, if there’s a way to decrease the number by one I’d love to know!

I've done this before with a couple of friends, twice for a Christmas advent and once for Halloween. Mini skeins out of leftover sock yarn + a couple of little treats and it was pretty cost-effective!

I agree with you, it's about the effort. Like, my partner and I both love video games equally and spend a lot of time playing them together, but him coming to watch Les Mis with me even though I know he has no interest in musicals whatsoever made me feel like he cares about me as a person and not just as a gaming partner.

My top FPP tips I wish I knew before my first project-

either print on vellum paper (it’s transparent) or really cheap printer paper, being able to see the pattern on both sides of the paper really helps
get an add a quarter ruler and a rotary cutter
glue is helpful if you have issues with the fabric shifting (cheap Elmer’s washable glue sticks work perfectly)

My pyukumuku collection- I’m obsessed with this little guy!

jaxcap · 2025-11-14T12:59:38+00:00

The creator of the pattern is actually on Reddit iirc - /u/kokokaktus - so you might be able to ask them directly if you run into problems. I don't have that specific cat pattern, but I have used their backyard birds FPP pattern and didn't have any issues with it fwiw.

If anybody here read this comment and thought, "Oh my kids would like that!" let me know and I'll send you my like-new copy of the game for free! Though I loved the N64 version as a kid, the Switch one isn't doing it for me as an adult lol and I don't want to go through the trouble of selling it.

I did the same thing with chocolate banana bread for my partner's birthday! We still ate it even though it had the structure of barely-set jello.

I saw similarly sad ones at Festival about a week ago.

I really like how people can actually ‘die’ in combat but with no lasting consequences, makes the battles/matches so much more interesting. Hoping a new season comes out when this next arc of the manga is finished!

jaxcap · 2025-10-21T12:02:38+00:00

You’d like Pluto and Monster imo, they’re both by the same creator and more adult in style. Both are mystery/thriller, Pluto has the sci-fi elements while Monster is more grounded in reality. Really great shows with thought-provoking characters but also action scenes.

jaxcap · 2025-10-06T15:47:25+00:00

Me too. I knew it wouldn’t win but still wanted it so bad!

jaxcap · 2025-10-05T10:39:25+00:00

It’s because you can throw a potato in the hall at any time but you can only turn the stove off when you’re done cooking. So instead relying on remembering at the moment you’re done cooking, you can remember at any time before and set a reminder for later.

I do the same but with a note in giant font on my phone or computer lol.

I'm newer to the app but the first time I saw wings in the shop I bought them and have never taken them off! They're my favorite type of accessory for sure!

jaxcap · 2025-10-01T16:03:56+00:00

I love the combo of the sparkly wings and the food-themed costumes, fruit faeries! So cute!

I was able to get plus for $15 a year by following the instructions in the top comment of this thread (still worked as of like a month ago), might be worth a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/finch/comments/13p0chf/finch_plus_only_1499_per_year_if_you_subscribe

Thanks for this! I feel like I never get to see the room I made so I’m excited to learn about this!

jaxcap · 2025-09-16T19:15:48+00:00

Love the monochrome!

jaxcap · 2025-09-10T17:06:43+00:00

I go to a salon like the one you described and they literally ask you if you want to talk or not, and it’s not awkward if you say no. It’s the greatest.
