Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Crochet! I'm not even halfway done with this blanket but I love the color and it's not super complicated so it's enjoyable ☺

Crochet can take a lot of time but is very rewarding! ✨ What colours are you using?

It's a bright blue that fades to a...pastel blue? Very pretty.

That is a very satisfying blue!

I built a couple of lego sets I got for my birthday and started painting a lasercut airplane model I glued last week.

Beside my daily long walks, I have been sketching, painting, writing and journaling. I have fixed an old headset too (need to desolder a wire). Also I've been wasting too much time on YT.

Regarding YT, am I the only one that, even though I don't play those games myself (I know about them I have even tested a couple of them but I simply don't play them), I enjoy watching some gamers on YT just because I appreciate their sense of humour and the ambiance?

OK, there aren't that much gamers I like to watch but I don't know, isn't it a bit odd?

I did this quickie drawing of Evolotto, a leaked Pokemon which I quickly became obsessed with after I laid eyes on him LMAO 😂

People who reblogged my post compared my drawing to old trading card images, which I appreciate a lot since I tried to make it look kinda "official"! 🥺

All miniatures are now base coated and ~half are painted. At least until I get some more...

Watered my little tree farm that had been neglected while I was in the hospital. Will be time to bring lots in for winter soon.

Been working on a multi-player version of tetris for the PC using Godot. Was able to play a match with a couple friends and they seemed pretty excited.

Still have some work to do polishing the game play and adding modes but it's been fun playing something with friends that I made!
