HouseFresh disappeared from Google Search results. Now what? - An elaborate historical analysis and overview of Google search results and media landscape
  • Thank you for this! Lots of people online have pushed forward the idea that Google search results are not as useful as before. This was the first article that I've read that did a good job of quantifying what that actually means and providing context as to why it is happening.

    Finished a scarf inspired by nudibranchs/sea-slugs

    I had the idea a while back that making a crochet nudibranch with a frilled edge would be lots of fun. And I was thinking of making a scarf. So I made a nudibranch scarf.

    Meet AdVon, the AI-Powered Content Monster Infecting the Media Industry
  • Damn. I had forgotten what actual journalism looks like. There was actual work done here to investigate and acquire facts. I've been reading "articles" that are just paraphrased PR statements for so long. This was a breath of fresh air.

  • I feel desirable but unlovable.
  • That sounds incredibly difficult. From some of your other comments, it seems like you're being really transparent with partners about your own challenges. That's impressive.

    You are worthy of being loved, regardless of whether or not someone is actually showing you that love. Things can and will change all throughout your life. There's good reason to have hope. Take care.

  • Almost finished with my 'never again' project
  • I am trying to imagine how the rows of this blanket would be formed. It looks like each row contains two different coloured fibers, and you're forming knots with one and just working the other fiber in? Forming the knot around the other fiber? And it looks like different rows are using different pairs of colour. So at the end of the current row you're dropping the two fibers and then picking up the fibers from the previous row and using those to start the next row?

    It's a beautiful piece. I can imagine why you'd never want to do it again.

  • What games make you happy?
  • Wandersong is a game about happiness that made me really happy while I was playing it. Not all the way through; there are parts that are sad too. But I'm thinking of replaying it because it made me feel really happy when I played it the first time.

  • 6 Do’s and Don’ts of Polyamorous Relationships
  • Seems like a solid article.

    I would have loved to see more said about the effort required to move from having traditional relationships to ENM relationships. Something about the article being a Dos and Don'ts makes me feel it's targeted at newcomers, and having a healthy respect for how big that leap is could be really helpful.

    I found a ton of the information in Poly Secure by Jessica Fern to be just what I needed when I read it.

  • What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?
  • Yes! For most genres of games, I've noped out of some games but completed others. It wasn't until you mentioned it that I realized I've never completed a Zachtronic game. I absolutely adore what Witness was doing, but I haven't finished it. I should go back to it.

  • it's the steam winter sales, what game did you enjoy playing and want to share?
  • Loved this game! Got completely consumed by it.

    If I had been the one to decide what features this sequel should have, I never would have considered including a playable New Jerusalem or having NPC companions or any of the new stuff. And if you had asked me what I thought about those features before the game came out, I would have said it sounds like they don't understand what people liked about the first game.

    But this game surprised me in numerous ways and I honestly loved every hour of my playthrough.

    Help finding yarn

    I've been thinking about starting a new project.

    I was really inspired by the look of the shawl in this blog post.

    The problem I'm running into is finding yarn that will fade from one colour to the next gradually over the span of 1000m. All the skeins I'm finding in my local shop vary in colour a couple of times in just 300m, or much less gradual than that.

    If such a product can't be easily found, I suppose I could buy several skeins, cut them into many long pieces, group those pieces by colour, and then wind it all back up again? But to me that sounds like a crazy idea.

    I'm the first to admit that I'm new to crochet and I'm still just shopping at the local general craft store. That's why I'm posting. I'd really appreciate any advice that more experienced folks have on finding what I'm looking for.
