Recent Notes
This month’s #1stPlayWeekend was only a day due to #N7Day & was all game trials.
Age of Wonders 4: noped out pretty quick. On paper I should enjoy 4x games but I’ve tried a few now & I never do
007 First Light - also not for me.
Crimson Desert - I’m not a big action game lover as a rule, and its MMO roots do show, but I enjoyed the trial (a 5 hour one which I appreciated) more than I expected. I’ve stuck it on the wishlist, but I’ll be waiting for it to be on a big discount

What a sad week for us Trek fans. Despite the small age gap between Stewart & Koenig this feels like more of shock. I think Stewart’s seemingly boundless energy made it feel like he’d live forever.
Trek is such a part of my DNA - from watching TOS reruns over & over with my Dad & Gran from being about 5 to being genuinely emotional over Wrath of Khan & Search for Spock a couple of years later, to getting absorbed in TNG as a teen - these losses feel oddly personal

Question for people who do #embroidery
If someone wanted to get you an embroidery related gift, what would you want?
My bff is getting more & more into embroidery so I wanted to get her something related for Xmas*. I know nothing about it, though, so I don’t know what would be good.
Like something that isn’t part of the basic kit that she’ll already have, but would still be useful?
*I know, v early, but they’re coming to visit in a few weeks so I wanted to give them their gifts to take home

5th #FinishOrFrogAlong project is the Easy Ombré Slouch Hat
I only picked this pattern up as a way of using up a bit of Rowan Felted Tweed that I had left over. I’ll definitely be using it again though, I really like the pattern.
It’s simple enough to knit while watching tv, without the end product being boring
Related: what is your favourite method for blocking hats? I’ve seen balloons recommended but ideally I’d like to use something less disposable

@nprofile1q... I’ve heard of Metroid but I must admit I never really looked at it - I’ll see if there’s a demo, ta
@nprofile1q... Yeah I’ve come to accept that, regardless of whatever other cool stuff is going on in a game, if it’s roguelike it’s not for me.
My ADHD can’t abide doing the same thing over and over and my autism wants to obsessively build craft and limit uncertainty, so it’s a double no 😀

@nprofile1q... I think I played a bit of it on either PS+ or gamepass and bounced right off it - if it is also a roguelike shooter then that wouldn’t surprise me
I was sure that #Saros wasn’t going to be for me and I can’t say playing the trial on PS+ changed my mind on that. But I was pleasantly surprised by it.
The concept is interesting and Rahul Kohli’s performance (what little I saw) was great. And while my entire lack of hand-eye coordination & reflexes plus tiny attention span mean I was never going to love a roguelike shooter, I enjoyed the demo way more than I expected.
Special shout out for whoever made those buttery-smooth motion controls
