fwiw I'm pretty detached from League world these days but I absolutely love the cinematics, I'd love if you or someone else posted these to ~gaming when they come out! (no obligation of course but after recent threads wondering whether people are interested in seeing content I want to indicate interest that I am!)

Comment on Advice request: potentially adopting a cat in ~life.pets
RheingoldRiver LinkThat might work for an entire day, don't expect to be able to keep the cat out of any space really. Cats are three-dimensional and will get everywhere. On tables, chairs, desks, bookshelves,...we are planning on keeping the cat out of the bedroom
That might work for an entire day, don't expect to be able to keep the cat out of any space really. Cats are three-dimensional and will get everywhere. On tables, chairs, desks, bookshelves, counters, etc. Some cats are more or less adventurous than other cats, and they'll have preferences (for example, my cat was not big into kitchen counters, but loved my desk), but basically every surface WILL become a cat surface.

If you want 9000 then I think the one I did, Dragon Forest, is the easiest one there is (because you can do a large amount of color sorting at the start), but Bombardment of Algiers is also lovely.
There's also a new 7000 piece puzzle called The Six Portals that's gonna get a USA release next month and is already available in Germany. I'm SUPER excited for it!!!

A year later, I hung my puzzle up, and still another year later, I published my promised blog post about it as part of TiMaSoMo.
Following the TiMaSoMo advice to post my project elsewhere on tildes (but procrastinating on that for an extra month) I am now posting it here! Thanks to everyone who helped me!!

Also threading sucks in talk pages and a lot of people straight-up don't know how to use them. Would not recommend that one (or any other MediaWiki host) for this purpose.
Source: I work for a "competitor" to miraheze but am deeply familiar with what MediaWiki is and isn't good for, and relatively familiar with what types of applications they do and don't accept

RheingoldRiver Link Parentoh interesting! I'm gonna check that out - I'm currently using gboard and it has some nice features like scrolling over the spacebar to scroll back and forth, but it's really bad at mass deleting...oh interesting!

Comment on Worlds 2025: T1 claim their sixth title after winning the greatest Telecom War in history in ~games
RheingoldRiver LinkI've been a KT fan since before KT Rolster Arrows won OGN in 2014, so this defeat hurt a bit, but great series.

I say "a bit" because I've been pretty out of LoL esports since 2022 but I couldn't not watch a Telecom War finals
Not sure I'd agree this was the greatest Telecom War in history but definitely entertaining!

Comment on Tildes Book Club - We are Legion (We are Bob) - How is it going? in ~books
RheingoldRiver LinkI read this one last year, hoping to do Poisoner's Handbook this month!I read this one last year, hoping to do Poisoner's Handbook this month!
Overall, I read a bunch of books that weren't really on my radar or if they were they were endlessly pushed off my TBR, and I think for all of them either I enjoyed it or I thought there was interesting discussion, for a lot of them both! This has been a great book club!
