Thank you!! 🙏☺️ I crocheted briefly in 2020 so I had some basics down already but I’ve been doing lots recently and I use a grippy yarn (cotton) for the most part! I’d love to do more sewing too…

Latest crochet endeavours including testing of various granny square patterns and my first big blanket project for myself (which I’ve done 12/80 squares of!)

I tried a Victorian (1880s) pattern for a quilt square earlier. It did not turn out square…

I actually redid the baby blanket with a different yarn (one easier to launder) and it’s now done! Confirmed, it covers baby ✅🙂‍↕️

Saw someone else had the filter showing on their VN Fest page, but I had both Next Fest and VN Fest open on the same browser width so it’s probably not a responsive layout issue…?

Checking on mobile, there is a filter dropdown on the fest page—but not on desktop??

Not sure what the point of Steam VN Fest is if there's no way to browse all the games featured. 😬 How is anyone supposed to find new VNs when the festival overrides the entire category page with no filtering available? There are a bunch of smaller games that are flat-out hidden, including my own.

I also find it’s often important to set characters’ personalities aside when assessing dialogue—it’s more about the back and forth. Realistically, people don’t always stick to an archetype, although I find that can help inform the characters’ shared dynamic!

050

ingthing @ingthing.dev · 03/03/2025

I typically read my dialogue aloud and pay attention to pacing and chemistry, and whether they contribute to what the reader should feel about the conversation. This also helps me solidify characters’ voices and helps me catch any typos!

In this one you hijack a boat straight out of the golden age of piracy You can also (cooking mama style) make lunchboxes for yourself Sometimes you fight with battleships instead of fists There is a musical style song and dance credits sequence And this all happens by the start of Chapter 2…

The thing that’s wildest to me about crochet/knitting is you’re literally making a piece of fabric from scratch, it’s so cool!!

Back to some work today; I did more crochet while recording OSAS gameplay for event setup earlier! Then, in the evening, I found some old fluffy yarn from 2020 and immediately hated the sensation of crocheting with it (and frogged the 1.5 rows I did immediately)
