  • I finally started Little Nightmares and I’m loving-hating it.

    I didn’t know I’d get so easily scared by the grotesque ambience it has, but damn.

    Taking lots of breaks to breathe so it’s taking forever!

  • I finished an ear warmer/headband but crocheted it the wrong way and needs to be remade… So now I have this one and the one I wanted to start right after on my to-do pile.

    Maybe posting about it will make me feel some kind of accountability, because right now all I feel is bummed lol

  • Wow! I need more photos of that blanket. It looks impressive!

    I’ve never crocheted a blanket. It is a big project I think I’ll tackle by crocheting one granny square a day for the rest of my life a few months, hopefully to get through my yarn stash of shame.

    Edit: typo… though a “yawn stash” sounds accurate this morning.

    Dev with old laptop

    A dev friend wants to start taking steps away from Windows, starting with their old laptop.

    The laptop has 4 GB ram, and an 8th gen i3 CPU, and they mostly will use it to program.

    Some have recommended them Lubuntu. Would that be a good choice?

    Thanks!

    Edit: yeaaah. Definitely away from Windows, not Linux. Time for lunch.

  • Hell yes! Well done.

    I’ve been walking so much recently, and then stopped for a couple of days and noticed my legs were so sore and painful.

    Apparently my body’s got used to walking and it demands more. Guess it knows what is good for her!

  • Actively, I’m on my second Baldur’s Gate 3 run. Recently made it to act 3 and I couldn’t be more excited about rearranging Gortash bones with my monk.

    Also playing Disco Elysium and enjoying it so much. However, I feel it requires dedication or else you lose track of what you’ve got to do, which is a struggle for me.

    Got two more games on the “paused” pile, but I won’t say which ones to avoid awakening the shame neurone because the pause has lasted a whole year.

    Genbrugsboghandlere

    Hej allesammen

    Jeg leder efter gode genbrugsboghandlere med “moderne” bøger (altså, ikke antikvariat) à la Bogshoppen.

    Jeg kender Aarhus English Books, men butikken er lidt for kaotisk for mig, og jeg finder den ikke åbent, når jeg kommer forbi.

    Kender I nogle gode butikker i denne stil?

    Tak!

    Remote access questions

    Hi everyone!

    I’ve had my Hassio Yellow for a while and I am really happy with it – and because feck Philips and their spy-app.

    However, I haven’t set up remote access yet because it seems really daunting and I’m worried I’ll make a mess. I am not bad with tech, but I’m not a computer engineer – and reading some Hassio texts makes me feel like I should, and I get easily overwhelmed…

    I found the TOR add-on and I was considering that – but it mentions VPN, which I use, and to which my Hassio is connected.

    My questions are:

    • Do I need to install the add-on if I use VPN?
    • If not, how do I set up remote access with my VPN?
    • Should I stop using VPN if I set up TOR remote access?

    Thank you all in advance.

    Side-view game recs?

    I’m looking for story-heavy and/or artsy PC games with the same playing style as This War of Mine – but which won’t throw me into a pit of emotional despair.

    Horror, sci-fi, and fantasy preferred, but I’m open to other themes too.

    Thanks in advance!

    Breaking free from the "wounded healer" pattern - need advice NSFW

    [Mention of past abuse, narcissist parent, gaslighting.]

    I (F) am having a tough time with the fallout from a relationship with a man that ended two months ago, and I'd appreciate some advice from other people who've experienced something similar or have some words about how to break the cycle.

    We started dating under the premise of being poly/ENM. Together, we created a genuinely safe space where I could process past relationship trauma. For the first time, I felt capable of opening up without pressure or feeling like some "poor hurt demi-ace woman" trophy to be won.

    Then came the withdrawal. During my 2.5-week trip abroad, he became distant. When asked why, he said he wasn't sure and needed time. A week of silence later, as I was heading home by train, he sent a breakup text explaining he'd realised he wasn't poly and wanted monogamy + kids (hard no for me).

    This revelation? From one conversation with his best friend. One. After months of thinking he was poly, he had one talk a
