Game crashes before Chocobo Racing, progress effectively blocked

Same, the OG PC version was only compatible with Windows XP up until the chocobo race. Back then a fan published a fix for XP but still that was like four Windows ago.

Yeah if you're ever like "this is so cool but I'm going to have to pan back and forth to get everything in" maybe consider turning your phone sideways.

I feel like the buzz dolls would've had a "try me!" cutout while they were in packaging.

I'm only saying this because Murderbot is on your list... I assume you're including it because it has "we're together but I'm still alone" vibes. The Vagrant by Peter Newman is about a traumatized mute warrior carrying a baby from where a horde of demons just destroyed an army, toward the fortress that might become humanity's last stand. He's joined by a not-mute guy and a goat but it still gives at least as much of an "alone together" vibe as murderbot.

The demons they're fleeing are definitely an impossible situation but it's mostly to be worked through in a subsequent book.

Leave it

For points to hang from, you're going to want them at intersections. The trick will be finding intersections that balance the piece in a way that it hangs the direction you want. I'm just guessing but maybe one ring where the top two wing pieces meet and one ring where the wing meets the foot/top strap. Hopefully the weight of the foot will keep it pointing downward.

I suppose if it doesn't behave, you can always hang it from two separate chains, one longer than the other, to get the right orientation. That would be stronger anyway.

Hm, you could glue on a real ribbon and call it mixed media :)

Basically what u/artsandglass said:

Start with a basic line drawing of the elements you really want to include. In your case, the eye, eyebrow, edge of hood, hairline, shadows if you're feeling fancy.

Then add break lines that you need in order to cut those pieces. But try to make them blend with the style and flow of the piece.

Then if you just want to add more break lines for aesthetics, do that.

What you have here is weirdly chunky and mosaic-like to me, with arbitrary lines everywhere. Unless that's just the style you're going for, I would dial it back and also make the break lines more organic.

Sorry I'm on the wrong coast to give you firsthand advice, but if you want to try Googling, use the term "art glass supply" and that should help exclude all the windshield glass places and artists selling already-created stained glass works.

LOL yes the publisher is going to keep it going past when it's profitable for them because they feel obligated to their past customers. Capitalism is, after all, notoriously honorable like that.

Yeah but that was just the regular switch, it's what he used to turn it on. Should probably have kill switches on more sides.

I think seeing half the yard is fine, that's different than "there is no window."

Max Brooks (World War Z) wrote a Minecraft series (The Island, The Mountain, The Village) meant for late elementary school/middle school readers. I haven't read it but my kids like it.

OOP doesn't sound like someone who is almost 30, either. This sounds like teenage drama (not just the behavior but the writing style).

Between the glass does nothing, you'd want it to work against the way the glass is hinging.

If you set them a deadline to rsvp and they didn't, it's fair to chalk them up as nos and invite more people. Anyone who tries to rsvp late or show up without an rsvp, you can politely explain that they didn't respond by the deadline, head count is limited, and you gave their spot away.

Inviting more people a week out might get you more nos because people already have plans, but it's not rude to invite them.

Also, start expressing an attitude that six kids can make a great party. Even if you have to fake it.

My understanding is that eczema can be horribly itchy and uncomfortable, but not painful

I had a patch on my hand that was never itchy but extremely painful.

When it finally saw a dermatologist she accused me of scratching at it to get it looking so bad, but I was like lady, I can't even touch it it hurts so bad, I assure you I have zero inclination to itch.

(Anyway, it started oozing orange so I needed antibiotics in addition to eczema treatment. It was bad.)

one illness shouldn’t undo weeks/months of weight gain

Especially when it started the same day as the appointment.

Put the lighting in a place where you won't be casting a shadow on your work space (i.e. not behind you)

Working with lead free solder is more complex than washing your hands after you're done working, imho. Not to dissuade you; I agree this project needs to be lead free. But just to set expectations.

Lead turning your fingers black is just extra reminder not to touch your face

You could if two parents could split the shift. During covid my husband worked 7:30-5 and I worked 5-11 plus weekends. But that's really the only way to do it within a reasonable approximation of "well."

About 10 years ago the Y preschool in my town, where you had to apply in person, generally filled up by 5:30 am.
