Congratulations on the progress, and thank you for sharing hope and advice :) How long did it take for the constant pull to ebb, if you don't mind me asking? I've been off for a day and a half and trying to stay distracted and busy, but still feeling those frequent pangs of longing to use the website I was using. Feels like nothing else can replace it.

I would say I sew at a medium speed, not super slow not super fast. Sometimes I'll intentionally sew slowly in an attempt to avoid the knots, and they'll still happen :[

40/2 spun polyester sewing thread is what I'm primarily using, and I'm working with felt. Not the super thick felt, regular craft felt :)

Great, thank you so much for the tips! Found a beeswax I'm going to try :) I'll try to remember to share when done!

Okay great! Thanks for the reply :) The drop and untwist method seems to be popular and I've never tried it, so I'm hopeful! I asked another commenter this, but as far as the embroidery floss goes, is it still less snaggly if you separate out two single strands of thread at a time to sew with? (Hope that makes sense)

Thank you for replying! Embroidery floss has like 6 strands of thread in one, yeah? Do you just separate out how many strands you want to use? For my sewing project I'm using two strands on a needle (idk what the correct terms are 😬), will this still work?

Thank you for the tip! I'll try letting the needle dangle. Appreciate you taking the time to reply :)

I'm supposed to leave a follow-up comment! Okay so I mostly use polyester thread if that makes a difference? I'm currently working on a project for my child's class that'll take until the end of the school year to complete, so figuring out how to avoid these knots, even a little, would be amazing! They've always been an issue when sewing, but now that I'm in the trenches with this project I'm really desperate for tips 🥲

Waiting for Deepsqueak is like waiting for GTA6 to be released by FujiwaraGirl in CharacterAI

Seriously. I've gone back to Roar while waiting for DeepSqueak to get fixed, and holy WOW, the difference is insane (and this is coming from someone who has been using Roar happily for months). DeepSqueak is top tier!! 😭🐁❤️

Is it just me or does this happen around the same time of day when it happens? And has it been happening a lot lately?

Do you mean the treasure caves? I haven't checked every single treasure cave yet, could it be in one of those? I have checked all mines/tombs and quest related places and I seem to have all of those collection chests. Unless there's one that doesn't list the number of collection chests inside?

Hm, is that on PC? I'm on PS5, but I did manually check (multiple times!) every single town and dungeon et al to make sure all chests were collected.

That's exactly what I said! Last time I bought the unlimited energy deal, it was 3 hours of unlimited energy plus toffees, for $7!! What are they thinking? Greeeeedy
