Is this an auditor trap?

So cute!

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer? And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

• The Truth

The clothes/pets really are ridiculously expensive. The good thing is, you don't need to buy them. It is purely cosmetic.

Been playing it for a couple of months now on pc. It's cozy and chill. There are lots of little quests. Skills to develop (eg gathering/fishing/mining/gardening etc). NPC's to interact with and run errands for.

The only "combat" element is hunting. No fighting. (Whether that's a pro/con is a personal preference ofcourse.)

You need other players for small stuff, like chopping magical trees. Which most players are quite chill about and can be arranged on the spot. No need to join an established guild or something.

For late game, (when you have maxed all NPC's) the progress is in building/furnishing/beautifying a house, and for the completionists: catching all bugs/fish, craft all furniture, finding all the little secret quests.

The only paid content are outfits & pets. Purely cosmetic. They stated that they will keep it that way, and so far so good. So if you wish to support the company, you can. If not, there is no need to.

Looks like flames, so cool!

Isn't the white flag with the blue cross the russian navy flag?

Love the colours! Was it quite challenging or did the buttons provide enough features?

Oh yes! That subtitle is so accurate.

Thank you! I'll look into those!

I first sort out all the edge pieces and make the whole edge. Next, I just rummage through the box looking for starting points. Gradually group similar colours, look for distinctive features. When the easier parts are done, looking at smaller and smaller detail. For large areas of a similar colour, I might line up the pieces in neat rows, sorted by shape.

Here's a progress picture of a 3000 piece jigsaw:

Started with the edge. Then the purple bird and pink flamingo. The sky, zebra's, etc.. There is order in the chaos of pieces on the left. They are grouped by colour.

Last bit of that one, were the elephants. I ended up with a few hunderd grey pieces, but managed to put them together. End result:

I recently got some sorting trays. This is the one I'm currently working on:

Good lighting is very important. And that's about all the "strategy" I got I'm afraid.

Hope you enjoy yourself! Maybe you can share some jigsaws here, if you're comfortable with that. Have fun :)
