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.

It was definitely some educational game, I'm quite sure it was "Leer 't lekker zelf", edutainment from the Netherlands. You had to subscribe and you got a new disc every two weeks. I just looked it up and people have actually archived it online.

Cartoons, plush toys, cute merch (pencils, stickers,...). It always provides a great escape from the beige-gray adulting (tm) everywhere.

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 :)

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.

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'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!
This cute raccoon brushed French terry was turned into a Tilly and the Buttons Billie Sweater.

 

Stable Diffusion, refined with img2img and rearranging keywords in the prompt across runs for emphasis on certain facial features.

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?

A quick Merlin Bird ID later - you're right! They're Egyptian Geese. I've never been good at identifying geese when they aren't the terrifying Canadian ones. Thanks! Luckily Lemmy actually allows post title edits, haha.

 

It's difficult to take pics of a reflective surface :')
I bought the svg files from Etsy, cut using my Silhouette Cameo, assembled it all in a IKEA frame, and added a LED string that I scavenged from an advent calendar from last year.

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

 

Pattern: Twig + Tale Adult Wayfarer Shoes
Fabric: leftover bamboo terry cloth lining and upcycled denim outer

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.

 

Pattern: https://projectnursery.com/2016/05/diy-bunny-lovey/
Fabric: floral double gauze and white flannel

 
 

When we get any ice cubes out of the freezer, he'll go and sit by the water bowl until we give him some. Then he'll sit there and stare until they've melted... Not sure what's so mesmerizing but he loves them.
