I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)

There’s nothing more offensive to people like that than a woman who, y’know, is a person
I’ve actually found it to be quite good for building dexterity - but duly noted!
Absolutely heartbreaking...
Streetpass was one of the coolest features a portable device could have and they did it so well. It was always so exciting to see that little green light
So cool that it includes those stats! Were the other ones comparable in terms of brick count / weight / hours and whatnot?
I’m right there with you
Hate hate hate subtitles. I 100% agree sound mixing is absolute shite now, and I definitely understand why some people need them (as someone who has audio processing issues myself I really do get it)
But I refuse to watch things with subtitles. They’re way too distracting. Either I’m reading them of I’m trying to ignore them but all my brain is saying is ‘don’t look at them don’t look at them don’t look at them’. Like if I wanted to read something, I’d have a book in front of me
Thank you - that's absolutely it, which is why I'm not engaging with the other comments on this anymore, because it just feels like feeding the trolls at this point. I thought I was being quite polite and respectful in my response above. I have a lot of patience for people that don't get it - but not a lot for intentional closed-mindedness. I'm trying to help make this place a more positive and welcoming community, that's all. The EDC community here on Lemmy is too small to already start with the gatekeeping, it won't do anyone any favours to be all 'post what you carry and consider essentials... but not like that'
Aha yeah I know AO2 can be a little pricy, though they do have some great ones in the cheaper range: the Mini Hydras in SS/Delrin being one of them, which are $20. Great starter set, but it's also impossible to outgrow them, pros. use them still. The weight (18g) is basically the goldilocks weight for most people, the bead shape is excellent
You probably could get a pair from amazon or ebay for like $15 that would serve you well, but I've found those to be either way too light or way too heavy and the beads just kinda feel... shitty, and they might even be unbalanced because quality control is nonexistent.
I don't mean to sound like an aroundsquare shill, I just do genuinely love their products and the owner, Matt, is one of the coolest guys ever
That's so sweet. The time we have with our loved ones really is a gift
Yeah a lot of people love their homemade ones, and I've made a few myself, but at least for me the beads specifically designed for begleri are worlds better. I feel like it's easier to make a really nice set when you already know what your bead shape, size, and weight preference is - if that makes sense
I still can’t believe how on point the variant puzzles are. Each one removes the exact way the last one was solved, even when I thought I was being so clever with how I solved it. It’s like ‘congrats on solving it, I knew you’d solve it that way, so here’s a more difficult way’ like three times in a row
