We met via tabletop RPGs and that's what we still do every two weeks but if we're hanging on Discord it's mainly Overwatch but also Wildermyth and Mech Warrior.

Currently playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy! I'm also eagerly waiting for Next Fest to start tomorrow to try out various demos.

Currently re-playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy as I got it on Steam during the sale. I played them back in the day on the DS and it's been a blast. I just checked out Jack Jeanne - it seems to have some sort of skill building aspects to it? I've been looking for a stat builder otome but there isn't much out there.

It's a native 1080p. If you're on Facebook, there's a group called "Projectors for sewing" that has a lot of information, they recommend a min. res of 720p. In the US there's a big market of second hand projectors but it's trickier in Europe, which is why I ordered a cheaper new one (Wanbo T2 Max).

Yes, I did. It was €150 from Banggood. I personally feel the cost is justified because the alternative is printing hundreds of pages and taping those together, which is high in ink cost and opportunity cost (it takes a while).
However, I do primarily (almost exclusively) use digital patterns so I use the thing very often. If you also use regular paper patterns I would imagine the value might be less.

While I won't deny this is a bit disappointing because the ADHD community on lemmy.world seemed to be a decent one, I understand that this decision is you doing the best work you can with the tools you have. Let's hope that the Lemmy codebase can expand to allow for finer granularity.

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.

I tried looking into the printer/plotter services but sadly it's very expensive in my country, which is why I started on the whole projector adventure in the first place.
Fabric shifting can indeed be an issue. For this stretchy knit I used just two weights but for things that are more slippery, I put weights all over to keep it as flat as possible. Using a rotary cutter also helps a lot.

To get the right size, it's a matter of selecting the right layer on the pdf. I usually have to make adjustments due to my waist-hip ratio and I use Inkscape to edit the files. A lot of indie pattern makers have started supporting projector friendly files. In terms of distortion, you always start with a calibration phase where you project a grid (usually in inches) and adjust pdf zoom & project settings (in case of skew) until the grid matches your physical measuring tool (mat, ruler,...). Then it's a matter of noting down the zoom percentage and opening any pattern pdf at that same percentage. These files often come with a small little grid on the side as well for a quick double check.

Ahh this is so precious!
