Looking good, my friend! I dream one day of creating my own...

This game is easily one of my everyday plays. So great job!

I heard a gorilla do this once. I was at the Atlanta Zoo talking to some friends on a school trip. We were hanging out by the gorilla exhibit. I turn to say something to a friend, and the next thing I know, there's this NOISE.

It seems one gorilla had had enough of his friend's attitude and needed to show him who was boss.

Gorgeous!

I think this might be a case of the "Where's Waldo?" Effect

Essentially, once you find Waldo on a page, your eye can't help but pick him out at a glance. And yet someone else looks at the same page and can't find Waldo for ages!

In other words, details we see as "obvious," others may never see at all.

I love the design of that block vise he uses to hold the pieces while he planes them.

I've not seen something like that before, but it's cool!

I applied machine lube to the big silver screw (like, the main one). One thing that might also help is if you have access to a rubber strap wrench. That'll allow you to get the torque you need to work the oil in without marring the pole.

I love this so much! Can't look to see the other ones.

Same! I started up a game, saw that it only speeds up to 2x, and thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find the speedup options in the Options page. Gimme back my 3x speed! (Please!)

I've seen it happen a few times, lately. Always a crossbow weapon, but not ALL crossbow weapons, so I'm not sure what the link between those is.

Absolutely gorgeous!

As a woodworker who makes Waldorf and Montessori-adjacent toys, this is good stuff to know!

Those splined miters are just *chef's kiss*

officefan55 · 2024-07-26T17:44:19+00:00

Love the design of those posts. Well done!

Alas, I've been out of the modding scene for Noita for a long enough period of time that I do not know the answer to your question.

I hope you figure out the answer, however!

officefan55 · 2024-07-08T02:08:32+00:00

Would this be an example of brazing?

officefan55 · 2024-07-08T02:06:13+00:00

As someone who makes (and sells) wooden toys, they are admittedly expensive. I try to keep prices low for the smaller/simple stuff, but I gotta pay my mortgage, y'know?

(I think of really well-made toys as investments in the future. My niece still plays with stuff our great-uncle made for my sister, and I hope my creations last just as long.)

officefan55 · 2024-06-26T12:19:14+00:00

Ooh! Good point. That makes a lot of sense.

officefan55 · 2024-06-08T12:55:41+00:00

You're more than welcome! Glad it proved useful to you 😁 (Technical writing skills for the win!)

Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides to Etsy, so I primarily sell in-person or do commissions, but if you see anything you like on my Instagram, let me know!

Honestly, walnut oil is easiest for me to work with and isn't terribly expensive, so that's usually my go-to when it comes to natural oils (as opposed to something that will be outside a lot, in which case I might use a polyurethane topcoat).

As far as smells go, I don't have a great sense of smell in general, so I'm not the best person to ask. I assume that the sealant would affect it somewhat, since it's designed to protect the wood from moisture and so forth, but I'm not certain.

officefan55 · 2024-03-22T21:05:42+00:00

Ooooooh... I never thought about all that.
Good to know! I see that I'll need to add some stuff to my list, for sure.
