My husband and I really like Wonderbook. It's a campaign game with several chapters. The theming is a bit childlike sometimes but the mechanics are fun.

Thanks! I'm actually going to swap it out for a Buddha Jewelry Mini Valentina when I downsize. That piece wasn't in stock when I got the piercing so I've been wearing this Industrial Strength Marquise Fan in the meantime. Now the question is what I'll do with the piece... Maybe a second lobe? Or get another one and wear them in my first lobes. Decisions, decisions!

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.

 

This was my first build but it's the one I like best!

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.

 

I'm using a cheap projector off BangGood on top of a camera tripod. There's a bit of set-up time every time I want to cut some fabric since I can't mount it to the ceiling but it's still way quicker than printing, taping, and cutting pdf patterns!

Although I'm a bit sad about no plans for Apollo for Lemmy, I definitely get the reasoning he gives - a double heartbreak is the last thing I'd wish on him. I got the Pixel Pals app (yay, cute raccoons!) to show support for his work & the challenges lately.

Yeah, I also will be staying on Lemmy. There's bugs and performance issues but the quality of conversation is better and interaction feels genuine. There's also actual possibilities to contribute instead of getting lost in a sea of rehashed comments.
The main thing that is missing now (and I assume will remain missing) are the hobby communities, especially those aimed at non-techies, like sewing, cross stitch,... I feel the people there aren't going to bother with figuring out Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse... because they tend to be less tech savvy.

The whole bot comments accusing bot comments of being bot comments surely was intriguing. And that's with them copy-pasting existing comments - wonder how many "users" are GPT bots lately.

Yeah, their interview with Christian Selig was an interesting read as well: Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted

I wonder if the comments about no significant revenue drop still holds true today. I was quite surprised to see that there doesn't seem to be too big a drop in posts & comments (~1k) aside from the crash yesterday. https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

I use both but I'm terrible at taking meds regularly (ha, the irony!).
For losing track of time during meetings/focus sessions, I use a Time Timer to visually see time passing by/showing how much time is left.
For reminders, I use Due on iOS (+ Apple Watch) as it continues to send reminders until you do the thing and check it off.
For to-do lists, I use both paper planning with a bullet journal-esque notation as well as a whiteboard for "temporary" planning, like creating a prioritization matrix, as it allows me to shift things around more easily.

 

Tiger is our wobbly kitty so he has some special poses and expressions sometimes!

I added some sock stop dots on the bottom to make them less slippery. They're definitely too warm for summer though, I will probably end up making a linen or cotton pair to wear in warmer weather. I'm also going to experiment with thick/rigid interfacing for the soles so they're not as floppy.

It's certainly something to see all the different instance names :)
