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 immediately thought of tatting just because it's kind of interesting that you can do it two such different ways with such different tools, and also because using a shuttle looks like actual witchcraft.

    Alas, not really! I have a cheap shuttle and am still trying to get the hang of "the flip" but I'll get it eventually. I did manage a sort of wonky snowflake but that's about it so far. Trouble is, as you know, all the other hobbies getting in the way ๐Ÿ˜„

    Currently working on cross stitching a dragon from the Discworld books, knitting some crazy speckly socks and a shawl that is way behind where it needs to be to be finished on time, and planning various sewing projects. RIP my free time.

    Just left another comment with links to some of the more active craft communities on here, we'd love to see what you're working on if you ever want to share!

    I'm trying needle tatting, but my experience is to end up with exactly what I started with, namely a thread waiting to be used :) While it's easy in theory, I still have problems of grasping the building blocks.
    My last big project was a "never again" cross-stitch from aliexpress. Totally understandable where you are :) And thank you for the links, I missed one of those from my subscriptions!
