He’s made of bones, he’s made of blood, he’s made of flesh, he’s made of love, he’s made of you, he’s made of me. Unity.
Fear leads to panic, panic leads to pain.
Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate.

We played a Daggerheart one-shot today with some pre-mades and I really enjoyed it.
I particularly like how the hope / fear mechanic makes combat scenarios unpredictable; its just not possible to plan out an encounter in advance so every action feels like a meaningful decision.

What happened when the two gay knitters met?
They put the woollies up each-other.

I’ve solved my flabby sides by weaving in the tails.
Realised my mistake was pulling the wool upwards back over the needle on the last stitch (an attempt to stop it sliding off while i adjusted stitch spacing) was stretching out the last stitch from the previous now.
Error spotted & corrected.

Don’t want to jinx it but I just finished row 8. I think it’s starting to click(ish).

Learning to knit with mum is really fun.
I’ve got the first knit row down (9th attempt) but the return pearl row is just breaking my head.

I dislike the apple glass ui. It feels horribly dated.
I don’t need lengthy transition effects on every action. Why is everything competing for attention so hard? Effects, reflections, 3d, transparency.
It’s very early 2000s. It’s way too much “design”.
Ugly, unhelpful, uncool and amateurish.
