I have first lobes on both ears and since last month a helix/flat on my right! I am quite sensitive to nickel so for most of my life, I tried having earrings but always reacted badly. I didn't get my lobes properly done at a piercer until 2021 and them using titanium helped. My right lobe is still finicky but we're working on it.

I use it for recipes! I use the iOS app Mela for recipe storage and it has a built-in RSS feed system to follow recipe blogs so you can easily add new recipes to your collection without having to visit all the sites separately.
Sadly sorting on new also has its issues with the auto updates and content getting pushed down automatically. I'm hoping that gets fixed soon.
The Sims 2 & Animal Crossing: Wild World.
Both of them definitely have a heavy nostalgia filter on top of them but I loved playing Sims 2 and creating all different kinds of stories and lives. 3 & 4 didn't feel that same way. AC:WW was a cozy pocket to hide away in and just be happy. Chatting up some neighbors, decorating your house. I was always eager to see what would be in the shops the next day.
For more modern games, I would say A Short Hike. Cozy and short but sweet story. It's a great pick-me-up if you ever need one.
My next planned pull is Luocha and after that I’m not sure. I’m not as interested in Kafka or Blade so I’ll wait and see. I did pull on Jing & Silver Wolf. Lost 50/50 to Yanqing, got Jing on the next 10 pull, lost 50/50 to Bailu and stopped there so I’m not pulling for SW anymore.
If I have to pick an absolute favorite, old Neopets. Having the little webspaces there is what got me into coding as a kid and I ended up studying & working in IT.
If I can pick multiple, I'd also add phpbb forums of yore, game guides with ASCII art maps, Flash games, and MSN Messenger.
"Zoomed in picture" is a pretty popular emoji category on the discord server I have with my friends. Here's a few:
I tried looking into the printer/plotter services but sadly it's very expensive in my country, which is why I started on the whole projector adventure in the first place.
Fabric shifting can indeed be an issue. For this stretchy knit I used just two weights but for things that are more slippery, I put weights all over to keep it as flat as possible. Using a rotary cutter also helps a lot.
To get the right size, it's a matter of selecting the right layer on the pdf. I usually have to make adjustments due to my waist-hip ratio and I use Inkscape to edit the files. A lot of indie pattern makers have started supporting projector friendly files. In terms of distortion, you always start with a calibration phase where you project a grid (usually in inches) and adjust pdf zoom & project settings (in case of skew) until the grid matches your physical measuring tool (mat, ruler,...). Then it's a matter of noting down the zoom percentage and opening any pattern pdf at that same percentage. These files often come with a small little grid on the side as well for a quick double check.
The plot thickens:
Apparently it is not a goose goose but closer to a "shelduck". Research rabbit hole time!
Ahh this is so precious!
What resources would you recommend for others who would like to start learning Blender?
If I have to pick something, I'd say the thumb clusters. I barely use the top ones in the center because they're a bit of an awkward reach for my hand size. The bottom ones on the outside are also weird because you'd need to do some finger curl or move your hands. I just ended up mapping the keys I don't use as much over there and it hasn't been an issue, but it is some wasted potential :)
