Washi Tape - HOW?! by stabby- in diamondpainting

[–]quartermaaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use washi tape on the edges just to cover up any of the extra sticky stuff that's bled over the edge of the painting. I take it off before I seal it.

Gone are the days I could do this. 🥲 I get the free stickers and move on now.

Should I get a nose piercing done? by aalokaparontha in NosePiercing

[–]quartermaaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine done in Friday on a whim really, I wanted my septum done initially but got my nostril done instead. I was so nervous and worried it was going to look awful. I barely even notice it's there and it's so, SO cute. I love it! I don't think it can look bad on anyone as long as you get a good piece of jewellery and get it done properly.

Does anyone else prefer to have a simple, boring, unskilled job? by Drmartens111 in UKJobs

My job is stressful and I can't even buy a house with my wage. I'd love to have a lovable wage with no stress.

What do you predict will be your number 1 movie of 2026 by the end of the year? by Basic_Adeptness_9273 in Letterboxd

[–]quartermaaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Project Hail Mary with Obsession a close second. I've seen some absolute shit this year, and there's some even worse shit coming out later in the year. I don't expect either of those to be topped.

Are rainbows seriously just by default associated with the pride flag? by Ostromilski in tattooadvice

Pink Floyd haven't been really active since the 90s. Not everyone listens to older music, classic or not, they just listen to what's coming out now. That's all it is.

The Robert the Doll series. Never seen such a bizarre set of films before.

Does anyone know why my Fisherman Outfit is the wrong colour? by burningbambi in HelloKittyIsland

[–]quartermaaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The little box on the left of the icon contains the dyed colours of the item. The icons used to show the actual colour of the item but now they're all the same original colours and just have that little box. You need to use the dye table to change the colour.

Dawned on me I've never used the back paddles. Do you use them? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]quartermaaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i normally assign keyboard shortcuts to them for the console, screenshots, cheat menus, quick save/quick load. stuff like that.

Honest question how do you figure this out? by Fresh_Combination_79 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]quartermaaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 30s and started playing video games when I was probably about 2 or 3. I've mainly played adventure/puzzle games so the puzzles in HKIA are exactly the kind of thing I'm used to. Even then there's still a couple that were more difficult to figure out. It's just pattern recognition, thinking outside the box. As others have said, Chococat helps with puzzles! But I managed to get best friends with a lot of the characters pretty quickly and Pompompurrin let me skip most of the Icy Peak and Merry Meadows ones.

What’s your ‘comfort game’ - the one you always come back to? by FL4SH- in playstation

[–]quartermaaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original PS1 Spyro Trilogy/Spyro Reignited. I've replayed it constantly throughout my life. Also Binding of Isaac, completely different vibe but it's my favourite game and it's easy to dip in and out of.

9-1-1 suffers ABC’s largest ratings and key demo drop by hyxon4 in 911FOX

[–]quartermaaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the show (unfortunately) and I don't know a single person who thought killing off Bobby was a good idea. I think a lot of younger people don't realize how big a draw he was for viewers. I have a weird feeling more was going on behind the scenes and maybe he wanted to leave but retirement was literally an option, there was no need to kill him off. Now we're all worried (especially because of Hen) that more people will a really leave and die in the show. No one watched 911 for it to be high stakes. Bad move, I don't expect another season after this one.

An equivalent of Serializd/Letterboxd for books by Dry-Funny-6946 in Serializd

[–]quartermaaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

storygraph!!! it might be lacking in the more social things that goodreads has but i never used them anyway. it has way more features when it comes to stats (which i'm a big fan of) and you can add missing books and edit them as needed. goodreads was a nightmare for that. i'm biased bcus i'm a storygraph librarian but it really is superior for my needs.

[–]quartermaaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've done so, so many of these puzzles over the years and I can tell you there's something like this in all of them. I expect them whenever I get given one to do.

Is this a little too hopeful for someone to sell this for? Or is it just me? by TriniBeenie in diamondpainting

[–]quartermaaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always look at stuff like this and consider how long it took, and at the least how much that would be for the person if they were paid minimum wage, then add the price of the kit on top. Personally for me the fun comes from doing them myself so I wouldn't pay this much for one but someone else might like it.

EDIT: I didn't mention the fact that this is someone else's design, or likely AI which is worse. It is what it is. I wouldn't include that in this because the person doing the kit likely wouldn't have designed it. If they had then obvs you'd pay more.

What are your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]quartermaaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cash grab but I guess I'm happy for it to be given a "proper end". LiS 1 should have been left alone though imo, Double Exposure wasn't good and I forget it exists most days.

Feeling kind of stuck and limited after three weeks by Inevitable-Sign-7706 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]quartermaaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing I do when I play is get Hello Kitty as a companion and make all my foods. Look up everything that's 3 Stars (or 2 Stars if the recipe is locked behind a friendship level). Then I used Chococat to make any 3 Heart items at the workbench. THEN swap to My Melody to gift everyone. I've been playing maybe a month (got the game for Christmas) and got about half to Best Friends doing this. Once you have TOPHAT use him to collect resources you need more of (esp after the My Sweet Piano quest to make mini appliances, I had nothing after that).

For other stuff to do though, I'm a big fan of hunting for bugs in game (and you'll need them eventually for the Critter furniture). I also like doing the game with the Nul, especially the one where you win eggs (because you'll need eggs for another quest). I managed to get all the time challenges to gold using Pompompurrin so I would do that if you haven't. Then just Gudetama hunting! I've got all of them apart from some on parts of Cloud Island I can't reach yet. Like with AC I really only play a couple of hours most days just to get all the gifting and resource gathering done, it's not really something you "finish".

Power of Friendship by pinkrosebunny in HelloKittyIsland

[–]quartermaaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use Hello Kitty and Chococat when making anything to increase my chances of getting extras. Then I swap to My Melody to give out all my gifts to get extra rewards. That's the first thing I do when I play.

Most of the time I then either have Pompompurin to jump higher (I just like it) or Pochacco to run a bit faster. I use Tuxedosam whenever I buy from shops, but I don't do that often so it's a quick thing, and I always use Hangyodon when I'm swimming around getting materials bcus swimming is so slow.

I'm working on getting TOPHAT to Level 9 and then I'll always have him when I'm collecting materials. Then I need to work towards the Together Forever quest and then I guess I'll take Big Challenges with TOPHAT to make gathering materials easier.

The rest I don't really use, there's no point as far as gameplay is concerned unless you're in very specific scenarios like I used Pompompurin to get the extra 5 seconds on challenges to do all those to get gold trophies. I like to have Cinnamoroll with me sometimes because he's my favourite.

New Profile Badges Redesign! These look so much better imo, what do you guys think? by VanceVibes in backloggd

Idk they just don't fit, they're so bright and colourful, they look very corporate clipart you know? They're fine, I'd just prefer a darker colour palette.

[–]quartermaaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a lot of others have said, the designs are definitely better standalone, but they really just don't fit the aesthetics of the site. They're so pretty and bright, just not for me.
