    I’ve never played the original and am playing through the first game in the remakes and was curious if:

    • you generally like the remake series so far?
    • the characters had the same personality you imagined now that they’re fully voiced?
    • the overall atmosphere/vibe is the same/similar?
    • Anything else you’d like to mention as being surprising or disappointing when comparing the two.

    Tricky released his new album today, Different When It's Silent, and I don't have strong feelings about it. I'd still consider him my favorite artist but I don't really connect with much of his more recent work, especially when it's first released. Sometimes I'll go back to albums that I didn't particularly love and end up really loving them, like Fall to Pieces (2020). Maybe this one will be like that but right now I find it a bit boring.

    cool to hear about the fairlight transformer, that will come in handy for me as well. thanks for mentioning that!

    Hey there Tildes -- just checking in to see if any of y'all use Fusion for work or for hobby projects?

    I've been using Resolve for a while with personal projects and have used Premiere for work for years. I have basic understanding of After Effects as I've had to use it off and on for work for many years (though, it's been a while since I've had Creative Cloud subscription) and now I'm just moving everything to Final Cut for simple stuffs and Resolve for work or big projects. Hoping to move to exclusively use Resolve since I got a new M5 iPad and their iPad app seems nearly complete (feature-parity with Desktop).

    If anyone has good understanding of Fusion, how did you learn? Could you point me to specific sites/creators/etc.?

    Thanks!

    i did look into classes but worry she’d feel out of place depending on the ages of the students. i’ll look into teen classes and ask her how she’d feel about mixed students. i actually have no idea what she’d say in this case. good suggestion!

    thanks for the suggestion about taking her to a place to roam and touch stuffs! i think we’ll go to a thrift/resale shop and let her buy some stuff. she seems to like buying oversized things and either making them fit or cutting them up into new things, so far.

    If she's still into sewing by next year (16), maybe her dad and I will go in on a nicer sewing machine like that.

    I'll try and find out if she's making things from scratch. I don't think so, but I'll ask. Thank you for asking your wife and thank her for her advice!

    Hey there, I’m an uncle to a soon to be 15 year old niece who recently got into sewing and has a starter sewing machine. (Hope it’s ok that I post here!)

    I want to get her something for her birthday next weekend that has to do with sewing or similar since that’s what she’s expressed interest in. She’s never really had hobbies before but seems genuinely interested in modifying clothes and up-cycling (I think that’s the term) thrift finds.

    Can someone help me with ideas on what I could get her? She is relatively new to things and she lives in Texas (US).

    I’m ok spending up to $150. Could go higher as I’ll just split costs with her dad or grandparents if the gift is excellent.

    Update: thank you all for the thoughtful suggestions! tildes always comes through with advices/tips/ideas for me! i ended up buying Gingher 8” Fabric Scissors, Kai seam snips (detail scissors?), Clover seam ripper, 3-pack of pink Singer tape measures, and a grumpy cat tote bag. i think i’m going to take her out to the thrift store to grab some clothes she can work on too. next year if shes still into it i think me and her dad will go in on a nice sewing machine someone mentioned in the comments. thanks again everyone!
