Yakuza infinite wealth was worth it. (At least for me) Tho it took 10 hours to warm up lol.

But it's already had sale prices since release.

Long time ago I saw a pigeon build a nest on a window sill, a place where there was nothing to anchor it to. They even laid two eggs before a storm hit and blew the whole thing away. :( Tho it was a pigeon nest and they are famously bad at building...

Thank you for posting this. I will try it, even if I own the original. :)

And this is one more reason why we need better accessibility in newly released games.
High contrast, LARGE font size, easy mode.

Isn't it funny that this: "Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war," she said. Became this: "Schools should prep students for war, German minister says"

And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.

I'm trying needle tatting, but my experience is to end up with exactly what I started with, namely a thread waiting to be used :) While it's easy in theory, I still have problems of grasping the building blocks.
My last big project was a "never again" cross-stitch from aliexpress. Totally understandable where you are :) And thank you for the links, I missed one of those from my subscriptions!

:) Right now I'm back to digital crafting = programming. So nothing to write home about. I did try to find some like-minded people over here, but it's not easy here. I'm living in Las Vegas. And that means we are immigrants from dozens of different countries and basically 10% of born Americans were raised here. No history and virtually no community in this facade of a city. Probably I would have more luck in a small one gas station town :D
What are you crafting these days?

Nothing wrong with a month long hobby. Life is too short to not try new things. ;)
I had a bad mindset "cheap one minute joy" was negative in my mind. Now I know there is no such thing. :) Joy is joy - and by it's nature fleeting. And if you don't mind sharing, what were your hobbies that you really liked even if they haven't lasted?

If you are into this stuff I'm sure we could be virtual craft besties :)
I kinda miss this thing from 100+ years ago when women (mostly only women) gathered together and did handicrafts while sung songs or told tales and gossiped about everything :)

Do you have any projects? I would love to see some of your work

It isn't that hard. You need a crochet hook, some yarn and stuffing. And maybe one needle with a big eye - but that's not that important. I watched some youtube tutorials and learnt that way. The big trick with it is to use the "magic circle" to start the project. Here is a random video for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ushHnIxLdYw&ab_channel=olliehollycrochet Hope you can try it :)

*forgot that you need a marker too to see where the "row" starts. (I usually just use a piece of those twisty ties that comes with packaging, but you can use a simple paperclip or even a big safety-pin.)
