Just visiting

I came here wondering if this might be a good game for me.

My health isn't looking so good, and I've been doing a lot of crying. Mostly I try to act like nothing's wrong, or I try to outrun it, but my step is slower these days.

Some of the first gameplay tips I saw were about not letting sheep loose on your boat or they'll eat all your stuff.

That made me laugh a little bit.

Thank you

Edit: Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and your kind words with me. I don't feel so alone anymore.

My first Spiritfest: Day One

I had just enough coins saved up from the Zeki club to either open the premium Path of the Ghastly, or get a couple of items from the store.

I chose to get the Hollow Grove backdrop for my housing plot (I love the way it looks now), and the Jack 'o Lantern tool set.

Bought some cool stuff from the spooky moon store. Contributed to Elouisa's ghost hunt.

Ventured into the Royal Highlands to do some foraging and mining.

All was going pretty peacefully until I was attacked by the flaming jaakcats.

But you see, I'd misunderstood my last quest. I thought it asked for 100 fine arrows, not makeshift ones.

So I pulled the bowstring on these hot-headed little bullies thinking, "Of course you know, this means war."

Thankfully, I wasn't alone. I walked into a hunting party and was finally able to contribute. I didn't catch everyone's names, but thank you🩷

Me when I'm so done with Oogie Boogie and just want to rescue my dog

Seriously, this valley is my world, that I share with my villagers, that I promised to protect.

And I'm supposed to let this walking talking bag of bugs push me around?

Get him out of the way and give me my good boy, Zero!

(did not enjoy the "Oogie Boogie Contract" quest, and so far I've only watched Serroh play it!)

I don't think my cat likes exploring spooky ruins

I decided to go on and get the starter pack.

I know it doesn't come with many Palia coins. But I wanted to show some appreciation to the devs because I've been loving this game.

Also, I really wanted a pet.

This happened when I wandered into the ruins in Bahari Bay, and it was too funny not to take a screenshot

Second row done

This one's pretty heavy on the confetti, so it's taking some time.

One of the things I love about diamond painting is that the canvas is sometimes a surprise, even as I'm working on it.

After about an hour or so, all I see are the numbers and symbols. But then I step back and see, "Hey, there's a pattern on that chair!"

Ordered Switch 2 bundle and case, only received case

Hello, everyone.

Not too long ago, I shared a post about upgrading to a Switch 2 for the sake of my favorite game, Dreamlight Valley, which is constantly growing. I also wanted the chance to play Pokopia and some of the other new games that are down the road.

I debated for a long time about whether I "deserved" to buy something like this for myself. Finally I made the jump. Ordered the bundle and a cool Metroid Prime case.

I actually allowed myself to look forward to it.

Delivery was today. Received the case.

No console.

I already contacted Nintendo support.

They promised to contact the shipper to locate the lost package, or they will replace it.

Seeing as I ordered it from the Nintendo store, which is now sold out, I don’t see *how* they could replace it, but I suppose it's a lost cause anyway.

I appreciate if you've read this far. I just wanted to vent

WIP Wednesday: Rainy Day Ghostie

I collected a few of these ghostie-blob paintings in anticipation of spooky season

Red Dragon book

The first of a small batch of dragons guarding books I picked up from Amazon.

I chose them because they remind me of the "Eragon" book covers from back in the day

Mushroom Forest color chart

This was requested by fellow diamond painter, u/hahapatrick10 in another post, but for some reason, I couldn't reply with a picture.

This is from one of Make Market's small Halloween mystery kits. I hope it will help anyone who might have this kit and need the color chart

Do we have an official US release date for Pumpkin Bear?

I've been checking the site since the first Halloween drop, but no sign of this little guy.

My mom would love him (and it might give me an excuse to throw the bat kitty into my cart.)

I apologize if this question has been asked too many times already

A gloomy Eeyore appears!

Eeyore just randomly popped up in my house as I was preparing to log off for the day. I didn't even have hangout equipped or anything.

I imagine my character is just like, "It's okay, buddy. I've got plenty of room. Hang out as long as you'd like."

New member of the family

Yesterday was rather upsetting, so I wasn't able to share pictures.

I really enjoyed meeting everyone's werewolves in my post yesterday. Please meet my new little guy, Finn.

When I took him out of the box, I just felt like that name suited him. I can't explain it.

He has such a sweet face, and his fur is soft but also kind of sturdy? Like it won't wear down too easy from hugs.

I love him💖

Witchy Kitty

Been feeling unwell today and haven't been able to do much but sleep.

I was able to fill in the last couple of rows on this canvas. Diamond painting is my therapy.

It's one of Make Market's smaller mystery kits, from the "witchy" collection. The only change I made is the pink drill for the nose.

Original color was gray, but I felt like that didn't make it clear enough that the kitty had a nose.

I imagine they're using magic to get more treats

Has anyone ever been able to prevent a seizure?

I get auras like storm warnings, sometimes days in advance. I take my medication, avoid triggers, but always the storm hits me.

Depending on how bad it is, it can put me down for days.

This would be bad enough, except that I'm the caretaker for my mother. I cannot afford to be passing out and seizing all the time.

I don't even know if I'm making sense.

But if anyone has any advice, I'd be grateful to hear it

Edit: Thank you, everyone, for all your replies. The seizure hit, just like I knew it would. I had my rescue med, alprazolam, nearby. Without it, it would have been a lot worse and I probably wouldn't be able to type.

I'm definitely going to ask my neurologist about the Nayzilam and try the sour candies (I've been using peppermint candies for the same reason, but maybe they're not strong enough.)

Everything hurts

WIP Wednesday: Dragon Book progress

I picked up a set of these clear plastic release squares. I like them very much so far.

They're reusable and I don't have to cut them with my shaky hands and a craft knife.

I tend to fuss over wasting supplies, so I still have lots of odd-shaped pieces of normal release paper gathered around, too

🎶"Dive in the fire, and I'll be right here by your side"🎶

Everyone has been so creative with the new camera pose, I had to try.

I wanted to add more princesses, but Aurora was the only one who would show up right now. Extra big hug for her 🩷

A short tour of my Forgotten Lands

I'm on Switch, so it won't let me record video. I have to rely on snapshots. Because of the item limit, I tend to keep decorating to a minimum, so this won't be anything amazing. I just wanted to share.

Ralph's house actually fits quite well here. The shape is a nice compliment to Jack and Sally's house, I think.

I've been playing this game for nearly three years now, and I never knew Vanellope's house glowed. I moved her here for now, so she can be close to Ralph after being apart for so long. But I wonder if her old house placement was better.

I have my small greenhouse, where the apple trees and gooseberry plants thrive.

And a shot of my home next to my neighbor, the Fairy Godmother. I haven't left the witchy cottage since last Halloween. And there I'll stay, unless they come out with something even better this year

Return of the Disney silhouettes

One of my first posts here was asking about a canvas set like these. Ultimately, fear and guilt over copyright and treatment I might receive discouraged me from getting them.

Then my best friend, someone dear to my heart, gifted me that set and more.

She knows I love Disney and that I've been having a bad time lately. I love her and the gift too much not to use the canvases.

I've been working on them in between the things I've posted here already.

This is my over-complicated way of saying you'll be seeing these from me occasionally

Halloween mysteries, icons, and Edgar Allan Crow

My order from Michael's arrived.

I've never worked with Make Market before, but I'm excited to start. I even temporarily set aside "Jewel of the Sea" to make room.

The larger mystery kits were the Haunted Library and Jack o' Lantern designs, which were the ones I really wanted.

The Ghost Bride painting would have been cool too, but I don't want to try again and maybe get duplicates or the skull book (the only design I did not want.)

The smaller mystery kit was from the Witchy set. I got the black cat with the magic book. I might order a couple more from the Icons and Dark Shadows sets, the size is perfect for a relaxing project.
