the rest is confetti

into great silence

if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?

it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!

free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???

the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.

anybody want to teach me how to make out? i'm out of practice

I wanna scream until my lungs give out & I lose my voice for a week. Alas instead I will resume blogging about cute things.

To the folks saying that Xbox was laughed at when they announced the Xbox One was not going to let you run games without mandatory internet checks every so often and then bullied into NOT doing it...

They did do it back then. They're still doing it now. They just don't tell you up front anymore.

And the company (Sony) that made fun of them at that E3 also started doing it and are still doing it now. They ALSO don't tell you up front.

And Steam does it for a bunch of titles.

And Epic's game services does it too.

And so do all digital distribution platforms.

And so do any/all software that have become "subscription services" too.

This has been going on for 15+ years now, it's been a whole ass war on you NOT actually owning the digital version of the thing you "purchase" and that the company you buy it from has the ability to lock you out of it temporarily or permanently on a whim.

It ain't just a gaming issue, it's a whole Companies Vs The People issue on all fronts.

Like seriously a company, once again, tells you "Yeah that's what this is and what it always has been" and people are acting like this is NEW.

It ain't new, you've just been not informed by the companies doing it to you for the last 15+ years after one company got made fun of for it one time and they learned that telling you made you mad.

So when a different company tells you again and you get mad again - we're just gonna repeating the cycle in infinitum until a real solution is found.

"WE TANKED XBOX FOR LESS THAN THIS!"

We did not tank them.

We did not wreck them.

We did not bully them into submission.

They just said "NEVERMIND" to our faces and then did it anyway without being super obvious about it and are still doing it today.

Not to get political but we are 100% fucked
