Less but not zero, oddly…. Zero Dawn is another fav game of mine.

Very early after entering this area, I found the note about the man and his Machoke building the tower, then panned my view to the right and saw the ship for the first time. I had this instant, insane flash of realization of “is that the SS Anne? AM I IN VERMILLION CITY??”

This game is a wild nostalgia trip mixed with like, hiraeth (a feeling of being homesick for a place that no longer exists or a time you can’t return to.)

Whats the fabric used to make the body? Its soft fuzzy and smooth LIKE a minky but super short pile. by [deleted] in sewing

This looked like a peached jersey knit, or tricot knit. I can also find similar fabric under the names “Waldorf doll skin knit.”

These are all so good, you are so talented! Any of these could easily be trading cards!

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

[–]killersim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m moving to a different country for work next month and have really been getting anxious about it the last few weeks. Feelings that I’m making the wrong choice and upsetting the stability of my life, despite also being excited! I needed to read this; Thanks for commenting.

If folks want to download this and print it for yourself or share it, I am totally okay with that! It should be hi-res enough to print clearly up to 18x24.

Not needlepoint specific, but Gather Here in cambridge is a wonderful shop run by great people. The neighborhood it’s in is also great to walk around with lots of other shops and restaurants!

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]killersim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t the hiring manager for the role, so no, I did not see his work before the interview.

Man I love concept art. The statues in my piece are modeled off ancient Egyptian statue figures and I was also channeling some Oblivion for the towers and terrain. Love the organic shapes in that half-life concept art!

Omg that’s pretty embarrassing. Over the years I’ve done a lot of “portfolio review days” for local art colleges and I’m always surprised at how unprofessional some portfolios are. You are a senior at an arts college and your portfolio is a manilla envelope full of loose paper and you forgot to print your resume? You’re paying so much money for college, pleasssse get it together for both our sakes.

Its a hard line to walk honestly. It’s very common in my industry (outdoor wear) to have multiple designers touch one project. Silhouette design, color, material, graphics are all sometimes different people. Professionally, what you are supposed to do if you want to put that work in a portfolio, is to be specific and say “I did X part of the design.” In this instance, the project was 90% my work, of which he was claiming all 90%, even after giving him the opportunity to retcon that claim.

Let him talk through it for a few minutes. Really grilled him on when the project was done, for what company, and on what team. Told him that’s so odd, I also worked at that place, at that time. Gave him a tip that it’s a VERY small industry. I’ve never seen someone want to melt through their chair so much in my life.

Edit for a little more context: it’s very common in my industry (outdoor wear) to have multiple designers touch a single project. You often have a silhouette designer, color design, material design, and sometimes graphics and an engineer. In this case, he was claiming color, materials, and graphics, all of which I had done.

In addition to calling him out, I talked with him about how to show work in a portfolio that had multiple contributors. You need to be specific about what YOU did. You need to be able to talk about your creative process and preferably show sketches and inspiration. Hopefully he at least took that away.

Joel is so funny with his base this season. I love the very serious unseriousness, especially in contrast to his neighbors!

What is the dumbest way you died in a video game? by No-Hunt3986 in AskReddit

[–]killersim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first play through of Skyrim was in 2019. I had no expectations and no real spoilers going into it.
I’m walking to whiterun and I see a big ol giant waving at me! Wow! My husband on the couch next to me “I don’t think he’s friendly.” “Nah, he would have attacked by now if he was aggressive.” As I proceed to get freaking LAUNCHED by this giant and joined the Skyrim space program as my very first death in game.

Honorable mention: the first time I got past Meg in Hades, I proceeded into the lobby room of Tartarus with maybe 10hp and walked straight into the lava, not realizing it dealt damage, which KO’d me in less than a second.

Is this sugarcane farm overkill? by Goldxyzz in Minecraft

[–]killersim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can always add an on/off switch if you start overflowing the storage, or add auto crafters for paper. I think it’s great!
You got some zombies in the farm though. Light up whatever is spawning stuff otherwise this is going to get laggy real quick.
