I don't necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.

I'd probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.

I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.

I've since moved on to the RG405M.


What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?

Would love to see photos as well

I would bring all the different handicrafts I tried... From crocheting animals (amigurumi), needle felting, diamond painting, miniature building kits, tatting (tho I haven't have much experience with this), cross stitching, polymer clay, bracelet making, braiding (Kumihimo), beading, "light" jewelry making - depends how much time I have :D

BTW I am open for more craft ideas - I do try to find new ones I haven't tried before. :)

You and I would get along I feel.

If you are into this stuff I'm sure we could be virtual craft besties :)
I kinda miss this thing from 100+ years ago when women (mostly only women) gathered together and did handicrafts while sung songs or told tales and gossiped about everything :)

We do a lot of hanging out and gossiping on fedi tbf. Mastodon is really big on crafts, and on Lemmy we have places like !knitting@lemmy.world, !crochet@lemmy.ca, !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works, !sewing@lemmy.world etc for specific crafts.

For the crafts a bit too niche to have their own active community, !imadethis@lemm.ee loves to see completed projects!

Gonna tag @DharmaCurious@startrek.website and @OftenWrong@startrek.website too because I feel like a lot of folks don't realise how much craft stuff we have on here!

I'm down to be Internet crafting buddies! :D

Also, if you're at all lefty and within a reasonably drive of a major city you can probably find a group of anarchists or communists who still do quilting bees and crafting bees. A lot of what I know I learned from people who absolutely do not look like they'd be sewing and knitting. Haha. Spike mohawks and full punk vibes, plus knitting needles and gossip. It's awesome.

:) Right now I'm back to digital crafting = programming. So nothing to write home about. I did try to find some like-minded people over here, but it's not easy here. I'm living in Las Vegas. And that means we are immigrants from dozens of different countries and basically 10% of born Americans were raised here. No history and virtually no community in this facade of a city. Probably I would have more luck in a small one gas station town :D
What are you crafting these days?

[โ€“] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey, sorry I haven't replied. I switched to a different account (@dharmacurious@slrpnk.net) and haven't checked this one.

I've been doing a lot of sewing. Mainly dog toys and pillows for making life a little more comfy :)
