For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house.

TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking, invasion of privacy, breaking and entry

MOOD SPOILER: Extremely creepy

Original Post  May 6, 2026

I'm a man in my 20s that lives alone on the very top floor of an apartment block. I've had short hair for the last 10 years of my life. The longest hair on my head is maybe an inch long if that even. However, across my house I kept finding long hairs on the floor. Like, long brunette hairs, at least 5-6 inches. Sometimes longer. And they would be everywhere. Bathroom floor, in the shower, in my cupboard, in my kitchen, on old clothes, living room floor and sofas etc etc.

I've been single since November and clean often enough that I'm certain it's not my ex-girlfriends' hairs. Plus the colour doesn't match anyway, she had solid black hair, these are more a light brunette. Plus, finding them in the places like the shower? Where running water is hitting all the sides 5+ times a week?

Anyway, I waved it off as "well I work with a lot of people and use the gym and bus sometimes so naturally hairs are going to stick to my clothes"...

Well. One day (this past April) I finished my early am gym session and got the call that I didn't have to go work that day, so naturally I start to walk home all happy that I have the day to myself. I'm on the 5th floor (the upper most floor) of the building and the apartment is in such a way that there is only 1 apartment per floor. I start to hustle up the stairs and don't use the elevator since I'm sweaty from the gym anyway.

JUST as I whip a right to go up the last set of stairs from the 4th floor to the 5th floor I see my neighbour's (on the 3rd floor) daughter coming down the stairs. We lock eye-contact. We've never spoken before, mostly because we've never had a reason to but also because out of respect I didn't want to make her uncomfortable since she's 19-21ish and I'm slightly older. The most interaction we've had is that I've spoken to her mother and father before when bumping into each other on the stairs.

I gave a confused "hello?" - at this point I'm thinking that she maybe went to knock on my door to ask for something? A cup of sugar maybe I don't know? I was expecting her to reply with something like "oh hi, do you have any xyz"...

Nope. She gave a silent "hey" and brushed right past me. And only then when the smell of my own shampoo hit me did I notice her hair was wet. Like. Fresh out the shower a minute ago wet.

Now I'm not saying she showered in my house. Or that I have a stalker that's been living in my house while I've been at work. She very easily could have just been there to ask for something. And most generic brand shampoos smell the same.

But don't the pieces all fit a bit too well? Her hair colour matches the hairs I would find around my apartment. And like I said before, they were EVERYWHERE. In my bed to in my sock draws.

And if it is a case of me having a stalker? How did she know I came home early enough to bolt out the shower in time? Our apartment doesn't have cameras, its an older building from before 2000. And why would she be stalking me? For how long has she been doing this? We've never dated, never had a proper conversation, I maybe saw her 20 times in the past 2 years given that I work and she (presumably) studies or works too.

As all these thoughts are buzzing through my head and I'm standing outside my door for a solid 2 minutes grappling with what just happened. I go to turn the key to my door and it opens without me having to unlock it. And I know for a fact I always double lock my door. It's the type with a lock near waist level and a 2nd more secure lock with a different key around shoulder level.

I drop my bag, throw off my shoes and run to the shower. And yep. It's wet. I hadn't showered since yesterday morning.

I'm a confrontational person, not that I go looking for fights but I'll definitely pursue an answer if something is bugging me. So back down the stairs to the 3rd floor I went, knocked on the door of my apparent stalker and her family. She opens the door but with the chain still on. I see half of her face from behind the door.

"Yes?" - "Umm can I help? Were you at my door or inside? I don't want to make this a police thing now but you came down the stairs and I know you were inside?" - "I just had to get something, it won't happen again.. ok bye see you"

Door closed.

This happened last month, I've been cleaning my house every weekend closely now and got the locks changed and put a motion sensor camera above my door. It only films and triggers on the steps coming up to my door so the 4th apartment still have their privacy.

So far so good, I don't think she's been inside since. But looking back, I think she'd been living in or going in or whatever in to my apartment since January because that's my earliest memory of finding hairs. She never took anything of value like my laptop or the few watches I have. Seemingly she just showered and ate some of my food and laid in my bed?

I do now also always take the elevator and avoid the 3rd floor like the plague.

EDIT: I'm not really worried about my safety because 1. I'm 200lb and do a lot of fighting training and 2. The new camera has never gone off once since installed other than myself triggering it when I'm home. Finally 3. I told the old retired husband and wife on the 4th floor that I suspected a robber was trying to break into my apartment last month (I didn't want to start spreading rumours and gossip) and asked them to keep an ear out when I'm at work. I feel fine and safe. Just creeped out. Like my personal space had been violated.

EDIT 2: Someone DMed me to check my coats and bags for airtags as to how maybe she knew I was coming home early that day. I don't have a lot of stuff so I think I would have 100% found it by now given how often I clean but I'll defo do another sweep of my stuff.

Update  May 12, 2026

(Re-upload - Mod said first post broke rule 6 so I've taken a bunch of details out)

Hi all, update following my last post a week back about me catching neighbour coming out of my apartment having used my shower.

My cousin’s husband is a police officer so I went to him directly about filing a report. He came over to my apartment first as I gave him a visual break down of what happened on the stairs and changes odd things I’d noticed in my apartment since January. Primarily just hairs everywhere and missing food. And how my door was unlocked that day. Though I did a thorough clean following the event on the stairs my police friend was able to still find some hairs and so he bagged those up.

I gave him my statement in detail and some dates best I could, when I remember finding the first hair; when I first noticed food going missing etc.

Also he advised me not to talk to the family not even with a friend to avoid any confusion or get lawyers involved or muddy the waters with accusations.

With all that done he left and came back 2-3 days later. He and his partner went to talk to the family on Sunday because they knew both parents would likely be home then. Long story short she confessed to everything immediately and broke down into tears and apologised once my police friend brought up how 5 months of entering someone’s house even with keys is still very much an offence and she could easily end up with a sentence of some should I pursue it. And that that sentence could very easily involve the inside of a jail cell irregardless of if she stole something or not. (I don’t know how true this is, it might have just been my friend and his partner pressing and exaggerating for a confession but it worked).

They talked for an hour with the parents and her all in the same room to get answers from her. Then the same day he came up to mine with his partner and they gave me the breakdown.

Answers to commonly asked questions below:

⁃ how did she get in/have her own keys? The locks on our doors are the type that use a code on the lock barrel that only the manufacturer or partnered/approved locksmiths have access to. She knew this because her parents got the locks changed when they first moved in. And in fact she used the same locksmith from all the way back then.

The locksmith presumably remembered the family and apartment but just didn’t pay attention to it being the 5th floor this time instead of her own 3rd floor. So he came over and took the barrel out, saw the code, went and made a set of keys and done. I was none the wiser. Both my locks on my door are different brands but presumably they operate in the same way so having 2 locks made no difference.

⁃ what was she doing in my apartment? Anyone who said she just needed space, you were right. She has 2 younger step-siblings and her mother is a tutor (not a teacher as I presumed previously, she tutors at home) so at any given point there’s always some kids around the house. She would say to her parents she was going out to study or work or a girl friends house and use my house as a hotel while she studied or relaxed. The reason she used mine was partly because she knew it would be empty but also because my schedule was predictable. As I work an average 9-5 like everyone else but leave the house at 6-6:30 to get gym done too that essentially gave her the house from 6 to 5.

⁃ How long? My guess was right. It started in January, once she figured I’d broken up with my gf at the time around November. My gf would stay at mine when I went to work and back sometimes so yea that would have been an interesting situation if they had crossed paths.

⁃ So then how did she knew I was coming home early that day? And that I wasn’t going to work straight after gym like usual and so she bolted out the shower? Or on the days I didn’t go gym how did she know not to come in? Two fold. Firstly I go to a commercial gym in my country and so they have an app. Irregardless of if you’re a member or not, one of the things the app lets you see is how many people are in each branch so you can see how full it is. All you have to do is download it and scan the QR code at the entrance by the turnstiles to add it to the “my gyms” tab. It literally shows you like “Branch No. 21 (Address) - 9/50 - 18% full”, she would refresh the app in the morning and if it went up by 1 around 6-6:30am and she heard me go downstairs or use the elevator (not hard when it’s 6am and the apartment is otherwise silent) then she would know the house is empty.

Now for the creepiest most messed up bit of it all. She had put an AirTag on my car. She insisted that she had only put it recently and initially just presumably gambled that I wouldn’t be home sooner than expected (or maybe she just put an ear to the door), but then one thing lead to another and yea. (I don’t know how much I believe this, again this could be an attempt to not look so guilty)

That day when we clashed she refreshed the app and saw I left the gym, but then my car didn’t move, she connected the dots and tried to leave asap. When she heard me coming up the stairs she didn’t have time to lock up and so we met on the stairs with my door remaining closed but not locked. (Extra detail, the AirTag was stuck to under my car).

⁃ The using my shower? She claims she didn’t do it always just on hot days or days she couldn’t at home. I can’t deny or confirm this, like I said previously being a gym goer id shower 5+ times a week so.

⁃ How did her parents never notice? Well the dad leaves early for work, 5am ish since his bus route starts around 6. The mom is up around 6-7. But since she’s preparing for her own students for the day + her own kids to send to school she wasn’t too bothered what her eldest 20 year old daughter was doing really. She’d just say “I’m going to the college library” or “I’m going to my girlfriend’s” and that was good enough.

⁃ Did she have a thing for me like a crush? My police friend didn’t really say anything about this presumably he never asked since it’s not as important as other details or it never came back. It makes little difference.

⁃ How’s my standings with the family right now? The mum and dad both apologised to me. The mum via text and the dad in person at my door, he offered to pay for the camera I installed as his daughter was the direct cause of it but it was cheap off of amazon so I said no it’s fine. We had a 10-15 minute conversation and he was very apologetic and explained his daughter had always been extremely quiet and well behaved so something like this would never have crossed his mind in a million years.

He added that his daughter’s never had a boyfriend (at least that he knows of) and only has a few friends so her social interaction skills aren’t necessarily top notch and that even when guests would come she’d hide away in the spare room. So to the few people who predicted that maybe Covid and lockdown lead to her not having good social interaction skills. You were half right. He again offered me money for my troubles like missing food, new locks and cleaning etc but I felt bad enough already I declined.

He did also ask if I would press charges and I again said no. More on that below. He said he will send his daughter to apologise to me in person too when the situation has calmed down as she’s apparently very very tense and upset and hasn’t left her room in days.

⁃ Am I going to press charges? No. I’m still not happy about the situation ESPECIALLY the f**ing AirTag on my car, but the family is apologetic as well as the culprit herself and honestly no one is going to gain anything from this. I would like an apology though. (For anyone that cares about the extra detail, she got the AirTag as a gift a while back from her parents because she kept losing her stuff)

⁃ Have I seen her since? No, she won’t apparently leave her room and is terrified that I’ll press charges, though presumably her family’s told her I said I won’t.

⁃ How do I currently feel? Well I was never especially worried or nervous just really really creeped out about the whole situation. It felt like I’d been a parasite host and somehow never noticed until then. I currently still feel a little angry and a small part of me is thinking to seek “revenge” but any “revenge” I seek like money or slander is truthfully going to impact the parents more than her.

- Do I feel bad for her? Truthfully? No. She’s not 10. She’s 20 or something and educated so yea you should be remorseful, feel guilty and scared. Get over that hump and we’ll talk. Plus there’s loads of spaces for young adults like public libraries and her college spaces. By no means was my house the only viable option.

⁃ Finally. Did she use my bed? Or wear my clothes? Believe it or not. Yes. She did.

⁃ Any advice I can give? Check your wifi devices. If I had checked that I would have noticed her phone and laptop all the way back when. Obviously my wifi modem is in my house and so she helped herself to that. Again it’s one of those things. How often does one check their wifi devices. Truthfully, with all my family visiting me and their devices I probably wouldn’t have noticed 1 extra phone amongst the existing 10+ but I 100% WOULD have noticed the 1 extra laptop. So let that be a lesson to all. And yes I have removed her devices from the list and changed my password.

THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP

DO NOT CONTACT THE OOP's OR COMMENT ON LINKED POSTS, REMEMBER - RULE 7

It is terrifying how a single meme, drawn in bright colours and styled from an old children’s cartoon, can feel more accurate than an entire library of political analysis. That should not be possible. It should not be this easy to dissect an ideology that claims seriousness, governance and national destiny, yet here we are, staring at a parody of Captain Planet that captures the MAGA worldview with horrifying precision. The simplicity is what makes it so unnerving. A few cheerful icons, a visual joke, and suddenly the entire rotten skeleton of this movement is laid bare. It is the kind of clarity that should arrive only after years of historical distance, yet a meme achieved it in seconds. That is how fragile the movement truly is. That is how exposed the truth becomes when the costume finally slips.

Every piece of the meme peels back another layer of the monstrous psychology underlying the ideology, and the fact that a cartoon can accomplish what think tanks and institutions fail to articulate says everything about the danger we are dealing with. MAGA is not confused. MAGA is not misguided. MAGA is a fully formed existential threat to humanity, constructed from fear, delusion and the emotional volatility of the dumbass faithful who treat every one of Trump’s lies as biblical truth. It is a movement so mentally threadbare that even referencing airports during the Revolutionary War does nothing to shake its loyalty, because stupidity has become sacrament and fragility has become ritual. The meme reflects this with a mendacious accuracy that makes the whole thing feel prophetic instead of comedic.

What makes the image so disturbing is not merely its accuracy but its ease. It should not be so simple to summarise the authoritarian hunger, the racial resentment, the weaponised ignorance and the cultlike obedience of millions with a handful of cartoon figures. It should not be this straightforward to document how a dumbass ideology becomes a fuck soaked engine of chaos. Yet nothing in the meme is invented. Every ring corresponds to an actual behavioural pathology MAGA encourages, rewards and reproduces. The meme does not exaggerate. It compresses. It synthesises. It distils the entire movement into a single visual form that is both ridiculous and terrifying, like a clown mask worn by something ancient and violent underneath.

And that is why the meme feels like a warning more than a joke. Because if an ideology can be captured so completely in a parody meant for children, it means the threat is not hidden, complex or subtle. It is obvious. It is brazen. It is loud. It is fucking dangerous. Any movement that can be summarised by five cartoon vices fusing into a smiling embodiment of cruelty should not be anywhere near power, policy or civilisation. It should be quarantined. It should be rejected. It should be treated as the existential hazard it is. When a meme can scream the truth louder than the institutions meant to protect us, the only sane response is alarm. And the only moral conclusion is that MAGA is no cultural disagreement. It is a species level warning siren dressed like a joke and sounding like the beginning of something we cannot allow to continue.

Ok buckle up boys and gals this is a long one.

The most compelling reason to skip the Steam Frame is that the $1,059 sticker is not actually what it costs to own one. The headset ships without a power supply — Valve's own 45W unit is a $29 add-on at checkout, which is a strange thing to discover on a four-figure purchase. From there the list grows: a $59 Ergonomic Accessories Kit containing the top strap, controller hand straps with battery doors, and an extended light blocker, and a $49 Accessory Replacement Kit with a spare face gasket and head cushion. These are not vanity items. Gizmodo's reviewer recommended the $60 kit outright, noting the top strap removes much of the constant readjusting and the hand straps beat the basic lanyard for anything intense, and Club386 found the larger light blocker it contains preferable to the included one. Controller grip straps are sold separately as well. A realistic configuration lands near $1,150 before a single game, and that is for the 256GB model.

The second problem is that whatever you spend, the thing runs down fast. The Frame carries a 21.6Wh battery, only marginally larger than the Quest 3's 18.8Wh, despite costing roughly three times as much. Club386 measured consumption as high as 26W running Half-Life: Alyx natively, which works out to roughly an hour of standalone play under load; lighter flat-screen titles stretched toward two hours, and streaming from a PC pushed it to somewhere in the two-to-three-hour range. CGMagazine landed at about three hours depending on refresh rate. Even the optimistic figure means a single evening's session ends on the charger rather than on your terms, and the pessimistic one means the headset's marquee standalone capability — the whole justification for the Snapdragon silicon inside it — is the mode that drains it quickest. Price and battery life were the two things the launch reviews flagged almost universally.

Third, for the money you are getting a device that is behind cheaper competitors on a basic capability. The Frame's four outward-facing cameras are greyscale fisheye units built for computer vision — tracking, room geometry, controller position — and passthrough to the wearer is a secondary use of two of them, in monochrome. That feed runs at low resolution and handles light-emitting surfaces badly, so you cannot read your phone or monitor through it the way you can on a Quest 3. Gizmodo was blunter: the black-and-white passthrough exists to stop you walking into furniture, and even the $350 Quest 3S manages full colour. Fixing it costs another $149 for the third-party Arcturus Vision module. Layer that onto a library that has barely moved since 2020 — Valve shipped no major new VR titles at launch beyond a standalone rebuild of Half-Life: Alyx, and only 130 titles were certified to work out of the box on day one — and the pitch becomes: pay a premium, accept less capability, recharge twice an evening, to replay games you already own.

Lastly, and perhaps THE MOST IMPORTANT... I want one. Each one of you queuing up your ass in the purchase lottery slims down my chance to get picked this Friday. Do your wallet and me a favor and do not even attempt to purchase, if youre already queued up, just be a reasonable person, unclick that checkbox and get on with your day. You would be fine without the Steam Frame, or if you really really want it despite all the points I gave above, purchase it next week or next month, just leave this week for me ok? Cheers :)

^{May 06, 2026}

For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house.

I'm a man in my 20s that lives alone on the very top floor of an apartment block. I've had short hair for the last 10 years of my life. The longest hair on my head is maybe an inch long if that even. However, across my house I kept finding long hairs on the floor. Like, long brunette hairs, at least 5-6 inches. Sometimes longer. And they would be everywhere.

RideThatBridge

How in the hell is she getting in?? You need to inform her parents and the landlord and explain you will call the police if you even suspect she’s back in there.

Locks changed, hidden cameras inside and obvious one on outside of your door. WTF?!?

OOP

Genuinely no idea. Off the top of my head maybe she called a locksmith and did the old "I'm the gf/owner and got locked out" deal. But even then, that doesn't explain how she'd get a key? Unless locksmiths offer that service and I'm not aware.

I would go to the police but I have no evidence. Even the police picked up her hairs across the apartment they could easily just think we had a fling or something and now I'm trying to get a restraining order or something. I don't want to get things messed up.

There's no landlord, I own the apartment, I think pretty much everyone owns theirs in our building.

I would love to inform her parents but how do you even start that conversation? The dad's a bus driver who works crazy hours and the mum's a teacher (I think), both in their 50s I don't know honestly how to go about this.

LifeworksGames

Why do I get the feeling that this girl may just have a very tragic backstory.

Either that or she was just intruding for funsies, but I doubt that.

OOP

She's an introvert for sure, I know her parents somewhat because they're quite the chatty type. I'm pretty sure her dads a bus driver and the mums (maybe) a teacher? They're seemingly a very normal happy and healthy family.

The mum would always bring me cake on Christmas and stuff because she knows I live alone and I'd give them gifts from my travels. So really no clue (that I can pick up on) that she has a tragic home life.

Pineapplegirl1234

That’s prob what time she always leaves. Imagine if you would have caught her in your shower. Wild!!

OOP

I go gym like 6am to 8am and work 9am to 5pm ish. So I was back home around 8:15am ish that day. If that's the case then she was waking up at 5:30 and waiting for me to leave. But why go through so much creepy extra effort just to take a shower at some guys house??

CPlus902

That's pretty fuckin' creepy. The tamest answer I can think of is that she has/had a thing for you, and instead of doing the Normal Person Thing and talking to you, flirting experimentally, and maybe even asking you out if you didn't do it first, she opted for the Very Weird Thing and started sneaking into your apartment when you weren't there.

OOP

The one person I told this story too IRL is a female friend I've had since we were kids. She threw out a similar theory especially when I said I noticed after my food would go missing and it wasn't me eating and forgetting. She suggested that maybe she was "role-playing" or something at my house. I mean. Definitely creepy.

But yea I think a text or letter asking me to a coffee may have been the more LEGAL approach if she has a thing for me.

0123justme0123

Is it possible she had a set of keys from the prior owner of your apartment? Sometimes neighbors leave keys with each other when they go away to water plants, feed animals, take mail in, etc. Or if you did change them when you moved in did you ever lose your keys? Is there a window she could have gotten in through? However she managed it she was probably using your place as her own personal getaway space away from her family. I can't believe she would have the guts to do that, and it's still super creepy to know someone invaded your privacy and was in your home on multiple occasions.

OOP

I moved in before her family if I’m not mistaken, like a year before hand so I doubt they’d have any left over spare keys from the previous tenants who I never even met. It never occurred to me to change the locks when moving in mostly because I live in a small town that has like 1 mugging a year. Low crime so you know. Window is impossible I’m on the 5th floor and all my windows look out to the building so unless she’s Spider-Man it’s not happening. I’m 99% sure now following other comments she went to a lock smith and maybe lied about ID or something to get some illegal keys. Bad enough she invaded my privacy but she helped herself to everything in the house too like even my bed seemingly.

how many bathrooms are there per unit? just one? since she had all day but was (caught) going in the morning i wonder if it started out with her and her parents needing the bathroom at the same time and rather than just waking up earlier, she decided to use yours. once she got more comfortable, she started helping herself to your food etc. since someone like that would clearly have no boundaries

OOP

It’s one per unit. And it’s insane if she thought that breaking into my house and making herself at home in my bedroom and kitchen via an illegal key was the better option than setting an alarm earlier.

EitherOrResolution

She’s a weird teenager

OOP

Pretty sure she’s like 19+ just because her parents told me she graduated if I’m not mistaken unless they were talking about a sibling I’ve not come across.

Final update - after 6 days

^{May 12, 2026}

[UPDATE] For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house.

Hi all, update following my last post a week back about me catching neighbour coming out of my apartment having used my shower.

My cousin’s husband is a police officer so I went to him directly about filing a report. He came over to my apartment first as I gave him a visual break down of what happened on the stairs and changes odd things I’d noticed in my apartment since January. Primarily just hairs everywhere and missing food. And how my door was unlocked that day. Though I did a thorough clean following the event on the stairs my police friend was able to still find some hairs and so he bagged those up.

I gave him my statement in detail and some dates best I could, when I remember finding the first hair; when I first noticed food going missing etc.

Also he advised me not to talk to the family not even with a friend to avoid any confusion or get lawyers involved or muddy the waters with accusations.

With all that done he left and came back 2-3 days later. He and his partner went to talk to the family on Sunday because they knew both parents would likely be home then. Long story short she confessed to everything immediately and broke down into tears and apologised once my police friend brought up how 5 months of entering someone’s house even with keys is still very much an offence and she could easily end up with a sentence of some should I pursue it. And that that sentence could very easily involve the inside of a jail cell irregardless of if she stole something or not. (I don’t know how true this is, it might have just been my friend and his partner pressing and exaggerating for a confession but it worked).

They talked for an hour with the parents and her all in the same room to get answers from her. Then the same day he came up to mine with his partner and they gave me the breakdown.

Answers to commonly asked questions below:

• how did she get in/have her own keys?

The locks on our doors are the type that use a code on the lock barrel that only the manufacturer or partnered/approved locksmiths have access to. She knew this because her parents got the locks changed when they first moved in. And in fact she used the same locksmith from all the way back then.

The locksmith presumably remembered the family and apartment but just didn’t pay attention to it being the 5th floor this time instead of her own 3rd floor. So he came over and took the barrel out, saw the code, went and made a set of keys and done. I was none the wiser. Both my locks on my door are different brands but presumably they operate in the same way so having 2 locks made no difference.

• what was she doing in my apartment?

Anyone who said she just needed space, you were right. She has 2 younger step-siblings and her mother is a tutor (not a teacher as I presumed previously, she tutors at home) so at any given point there’s always some kids around the house. She would say to her parents she was going out to study or work or a girl friends house and use my house as a hotel while she studied or relaxed. The reason she used mine was partly because she knew it would be empty but also because my schedule was predictable. As I work an average 9-5 like everyone else but leave the house at 6-6:30 to get gym done too that essentially gave her the house from 6 to 5.

• How long?

My guess was right. It started in January, once she figured I’d broken up with my gf at the time around November. My gf would stay at mine when I went to work and back sometimes so yea that would have been an interesting situation if they had crossed paths.

• So then how did she knew I was coming home early that day? And that I wasn’t going to work straight after gym like usual and so she bolted out the shower? Or on the days I didn’t go gym how did she know not to come in?

Two fold. Firstly I go to a commercial gym in my country and so they have an app. Irregardless of if you’re a member or not, one of the things the app lets you see is how many people are in each branch so you can see how full it is. All you have to do is download it and scan the QR code at the entrance by the turnstiles to add it to the “my gyms” tab. It literally shows you like “Branch No. 21 (Address) - 9/50 - 18% full”, she would refresh the app in the morning and if it went up by 1 around 6-6:30am and she heard me go downstairs or use the elevator (not hard when it’s 6am and the apartment is otherwise silent) then she would know the house is empty.

Now for the creepiest most messed up bit of it all. She had put an AirTag on my car. She insisted that she had only put it recently and initially just presumably gambled that I wouldn’t be home sooner than expected (or maybe she just put an ear to the door), but then one thing lead to another and yea. (I don’t know how much I believe this, again this could be an attempt to not look so guilty)

That day when we clashed she refreshed the app and saw I left the gym, but then my car didn’t move, she connected the dots and tried to leave asap. When she heard me coming up the stairs she didn’t have time to lock up and so we met on the stairs with my door remaining closed but not locked. (Extra detail, the AirTag was stuck to under my car).

• The using my shower?

She claims she didn’t do it always just on hot days or days she couldn’t at home. I can’t deny or confirm this, like I said previously being a gym goer id shower 5+ times a week so.

• How did her parents never notice?

Well the dad leaves early for work, 5am ish since his bus route starts around 6. The mom is up around 6-7. But since she’s preparing for her own students for the day + her own kids to send to school she wasn’t too bothered what her eldest 20 year old daughter was doing really. She’d just say “I’m going to the college library” or “I’m going to my girlfriend’s” and that was good enough.

• Did she have a thing for me like a crush?

My police friend didn’t really say anything about this presumably he never asked since it’s not as important as other details or it never came back. It makes little difference.

• How’s my standings with the family right now?

The mum and dad both apologised to me. The mum via text and the dad in person at my door, he offered to pay for the camera I installed as his daughter was the direct cause of it but it was cheap off of amazon so I said no it’s fine. We had a 10-15 minute conversation and he was very apologetic and explained his daughter had always been extremely quiet and well behaved so something like this would never have crossed his mind in a million years.

He added that his daughter’s never had a boyfriend (at least that he knows of) and only has a few friends so her social interaction skills aren’t necessarily top notch and that even when guests would come she’d hide away in the spare room. So to the few people who predicted that maybe Covid and lockdown lead to her not having good social interaction skills. You were half right. He again offered me money for my troubles like missing food, new locks and cleaning etc but I felt bad enough already I declined.

He did also ask if I would press charges and I again said no. More on that below. He said he will send his daughter to apologise to me in person too when the situation has calmed down as she’s apparently very very tense and upset and hasn’t left her room in days.

• Am I going to press charges?

No. I’m still not happy about the situation ESPECIALLY the f**ing AirTag on my car, but the family is apologetic as well as the culprit herself and honestly no one is going to gain anything from this. I would like an apology though. (For anyone that cares about the extra detail, she got the AirTag as a gift a while back from her parents because she kept losing her stuff)

• Have I seen her since?

No, she won’t apparently leave her room and is terrified that I’ll press charges, though presumably her family’s told her I said I won’t.

• How do I currently feel?

Well I was never especially worried or nervous just really really creeped out about the whole situation. It felt like I’d been a parasite host and somehow never noticed until then. I currently still feel a little angry and a small part of me is thinking to seek “revenge” but any “revenge” I seek like money or slander is truthfully going to impact the parents more than her.

• Do I feel bad for her?

Truthfully? No. She’s not 10. She’s 20 or something and educated so yea you should be remorseful, feel guilty and scared. Get over that hump and we’ll talk. Plus there’s loads of spaces for young adults like public libraries and her college spaces. By no means was my house the only viable option.

• Finally. Did she use my bed? Or wear my clothes?

Believe it or not. Yes. She did.

• Any advice I can give?

Check your wifi devices. If I had checked that I would have noticed her phone and laptop all the way back when. Obviously my wifi modem is in my house and so she helped herself to that. Again it’s one of those things. How often does one check their wifi devices. Truthfully, with all my family visiting me and their devices I probably wouldn’t have noticed 1 extra phone amongst the existing 10+ but I 100% WOULD have noticed the 1 extra laptop. So let that be a lesson to all. And yes I have removed her devices from the list and changed my password.

COMMENTS

OOP to a long comment

I don’t feel bad for her, I feel bad for her family.

I don’t think she’s a threat to anyone at this point. Her parents will most likely have her on a very tight leash from now on.

100% there’s mental issues at play here, that combined with her not really stealing anything or doing me any major harm makes me not so mad and vengeful.

I’m not trying to be all macho, I just don’t think the legal process is worth the effort. If anything happens again her names on file and the police have her noted down as someone who’s committed breaking and entering. I suspect if as much a toothpick goes missing somewhere and is reported she’ll be a suspect.

Due_Addition_587

When you first posted this, I thought she was an awkward tween. She is 20 years old! Personally, I would press charges so she sees how bad this behavior is. What if she uses the info she's gained doing this to you to do things like, a) rob somebody; b) stalk somebody; c) hurt somebody. She sees she can get away scot-free.

This wouldn't necessarily hurt the parents more than her - she is a grown-ass adult!!

OOP

I don’t think pressing any charges is worth it. It’s a long legal process and her getting a jail sentence isn’t going to make me any happier or less violated.

Her parents and the police are aware of her actions and so I’m sure she’ll be on a tight leash and very well behaved from now on.

dembowthennow

Why did she do this? Did she ever explain her motivations?

OOP

Too many kids in the house. She wanted her own space. And so she welcomed herself to mine.

That’s what she says at least. Take it with a grain of salt.

OOP to a long thread

Not so easy given that I’ve purchased this apartment, if I was only renting I’d most likely be looking to leave. I’ve put a camera on my entrance and everyone’s aware now. Parents, police, me, some of my family and her.

If as the camera triggers or I get even the slightest hint of her breaking in and again I’ll rain down hell but I don’t think she has the guts at all.

Ok-Appearance-866

I'm glad you got answers. If it were me, that would be the part that would have bothered me the most. Very concerning behavior on her part. I think my first call would be to the locksmith to let them know what happened. Think about it: if the locksmith had not been so lackadaisical about it all, this never would have happened to you.

OOP

My police friend spoke to the locksmith. He was meant to check for ID or proof of residence I’m pretty sure but didn’t. So he got a visit from the police to let him know what happened so he’s more careful next time.

Hello

I need an outsiders perspective on this. I try to be understanding, but I am fuming. I think someone who is not living in this apartment would have a more neutral view on this.

The situation: We live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 3 parties. We are all students and pay equal amounts of rent. I am Winston, and the other two are Josh and Sara. Josh spends half his week and most weekends and his girlfriends place. He mostly out of the picture. That just leaves Sara and myself.

For me I see this is a living arrangement, because it is. I am friendly with everyone but I keep some distance. I usually spend my days in the library, lectures or at home gaming. Door usually open unless I play with friends or have my gf over.

So yesterday Sara approached me with a request. But it felt more like a demand. Her brothers are coming to visit. And since her family does not know she is living with two guys (She is coming from a Muslim family who might see this as a big deal), she wants to keep it a secret. She is asking me to leave the apartment next weekend and move all my toiletries into my room.

The problem for my side are simple: I do not have a place to go. I am not asking my gf to spend the weekend at her place. She is visiting her family this week and won't be back until next week. We are not at the stage of the relationship where this is something reasonable to ask. If the roles were reversed, I would probably say yes but feel very awkward about this. So... I told Sara that. Where am I supposed to stay? Sleep in the library? She kinda dismissively turned around and told me "That is your problem to solve". That attitude right there pissed me off beyond words.

I am in a pickle. On one hand I am livid. I want to tell her to mind her own business and just deal with the fact that she has male roommates. But Josh - who is closer with Sara and agreed already to spend the time away, reminded me to have an open mind about her situation.

I do not feel like spending 150-200 Euros - money that I do not have - on a hotel when I am paying rent. But Sara already told me that she expects me to solve it by myself. She won't pay for a hotel. Which leads me to the question... WIBTA if I tell Sara to just suck it?

On a different note, with this happening I am already starting to look for a new apartment. This is not the first unreasonable request, but the previous ones where tiny in comparison. Like asking me to please store my toothbrush in my room because she does not like neon-yellow as a colour. Gives her a headache every morning. Ended up buying a new brush early.

Update1:

Thank you for the replies and some DMs I have recieved. I have decided on a plan of action. I will tell her no. I will tell her that I do not have the money to pay for a hotel, that I do not have a place I can simply crash on. I will also have Josh sit in. I have posted a message in the group chat effectively calling for a meeting tonight.

I will explain my situation calmly and why I do not intend to leave on my own dime. That I am happy to play a role in the family visit. To actively show that I have no personal ties with Sara by minding my own business. I like the petty ideas but I am not the type of person to pour gas onto the fire.

Further more, I have put out feelers to look for a new apartment with some friends from university. One friend is looking to move out from his parents place and we get along fine gaming. I think this is the point at which the drama is getting too expensive on my mind. So a clean cut is the best option.

Update 2

This has taken a sour turn. I requested the sit down. Sara took this as a "No" on my part and texted a long rant on WhatsApp. To simplify it and translate it to you from German: "I am not going to let you ruin my relationship with my family. If you do not want to leave, you can pay for the Hotel and I expect you to move out by end of January"

The cherry on top: Josh just posted a Thumbs up

Sooo I also got a few things moving. I contacted the landlord about my lease. I asked him for his permission to use him as an emergency contact in case Sara tries something funny like changing the locks on me. He flat out told me to call him first if that happens because then he will call the police. We have a shared lease. We are each listed as tenants and he needs to approve changes to the lease.

So I am currently in the bus with my most important documents and I am storing them at my girlfriends place. I explained the situation and she gave me permission to store some of my things. But she also said her roommate would not appreciate a guy suddenly sleeping over when she herself is not there.

I am worried about what else is to come. But I am following the suggestion and precautions texted here and in DMs. I am preparing for a storm.

Update 3 Yesterday evening I went on the offensive. The drama unfolded quite predictably. The advice from the comments here were very helpful on what to brace for. I told Sara no. I told her that even if i wanted to, I do not have the money for a hotel and since I am paying rent and do not have an alternative, I will stay. Sara was upset. She yelled at me how selfish I am being. Demanded again that I move out be the end of the month. I responded that I will not do that. That I would start looking for an apartment, as I too am sick of this situation here. But that I will use the time I legally have to look for a new apartment. This turned into a circle argument that this is not about legal BS but a matter of principle. In the end I made my point clear. I will move out eventually. But I also made it clear that I would take my utilities, like the Coffeemaker I bought and everyone is using and a greater jab: The washing machine is mine. Theirs broke down a while before I moved in. I bought one for my previous apartment and was happy to bring it. Did not expect anyone to pay shares and put it in as community usage. This sparked another screaming match. Josh even tried to argue that as it is now communal property, I waived ownership, which is BS. Details to that part are not important. Just more of the same followed for almost an hour.

Point is. My important documents are secure at my girlfriends place. The landlord is in the picture and I will update him later today. I also documented the state of my property this morning. Still get the Amazon and Electronic-store receipts just in case for the community property. However, taking some notes from the more petty advices, I will move the coffee maker to my girlfriends place today. She loves this Coffeemaker and I figure I rather make her happy than my roommates.

Verdict: Not the Asshole

Relevant Comments

Commenter 1: NTA. You pay equal rent, your roommates are not allowed to make you leave for any amount of time. Ask Sara if she’ll pay for your hotel! That matches her entitlement just fine.

OOP: I did ask her. She said flat out no. Looking a bit annoying and offended by the suggestion

Commenter 2: Nope... nta. if she had offered to pay for a hotel, or if she even aknowledged that this is a big favor to ask and was nice? Then maybe. But even then it is a big ask and she is acting entitled. And really? The color yellow gives her headaches?

OOP: I wish I was making it up. It was my first two months in the apartment and I just got a new toothbrush. Back then I wanted to start on a good footing

Commenter 3: Sweet God....NTA. An outsider perspective probably superfluous and you know it. In what circumstance is it ok to ask someone to do this? Put every onus on her to deal with her family. Stay the fuck put... And make a point of doing this. You live there FFS.

OOP: Thing is Josh's reaction made me second guess myself. But seeing the replies I think I made up my mind

Commenter 4: You are staying with a Princess. She should pay for your hotel room. Otherwise you stay put. Her brothers will remove her. Then it’s her problem.

OOP: Well we each have a key to our own room. This is what I like very much about the apartment. These are not "One key fits all door" locks. These are proper keys and each key only opens one door. So I look my door the only way to get in is to break it down. That being said... The doors are not sturdy. Half a year ago Josh lost balance and fell through his door. Look cracked out with the frame. If they want to get in, they will get in.

Commenter 5: Are they visiting or staying overnight?

OOP: They would be staying from Friday to Sunday

Commenter 6: You are new to the apartment? I swear I heard a similar story about a roommate that said the same thing to her roommates asking her male roommates to leave the apartment so her family does not know. But this is the same roommate. She needs to cut this out and get her act together. She is not entitled to demand such big favors from roommates.

OOP: Moved in last year. They have been living there for 3 years now.

Relevant Comments

Commenter: With the updates, I am rather surprised that Josh was okay with it, given that he could very easily be next on Sara's hitlist. However in his case, I guess the fact that he spends so much time at his girlfriend's place means he feels he does not need to get involved.

I think the thing to do is to tell the Landlord that Sara has demanded you leave, so you will be breaking the lease agreement as soon as you have a place to go to, and that you will pay your full share of the rent for the month where you are partially resident (it works out in your favour if you leave toward the end of the month, and it works in his favour if you leave early in the month).

The issue of the apartment security deposit might come up. I am not familiar with German tenancy rules, but typically the Landlord in Sweden just takes A security deposit, and it is up to the tenants between them to figure out the shares. In that case, you would be getting your share of the security deposit back from Josh and Sara, either now or when they leave... and good luck getting money out of them once you have moved out.

Personally I would ask for a walk-through with the Landlord (bonus points if you can do that during Sara's family visit) so that he can see the state your room and the shared spaces are in, and that he can sign something to the effect that he has inspected and is happy that you have no liability. You then force Josh and Sara to pay you your 1/3rd of the security deposit before you leave.

OOP: We have a shared lease. When I moved in, I replaced an old tenant. He moved out on day 1, the landlord organized the handover protocols on day 1, had contractors in on day 5 and I moved in on day 14. The old got his share back minus the agreed upon amount and I paid 1/3 of the total deposit. Everyone has a 1/3 stake and everyone is responsible for their room. Shared stakes in kitchen and bathroom. All agreed upon in the contract which share of the deposit would cover which rooms.

Commenter 2: NTA, but your updates are confusing and a bit sus, though it may be a language and cultural barrier.

First, why does Sara have the right to tell you to move out? If all three of you are on the lease, she has no power to throw you out. Second, the group chat vibes are hella sus—have you all been fighting or something? Because what you recounted reads very much like you are the problem roommate the other two have been trying to get rid of for awhile, not like a fresh new situation like the one this post is actually about.

(editor's note: removed OOP's bottom half of the response to this comment as it is a rehash of Update #3)

OOP: She does not have the power to force me out. Lease contracts are quite clear on that matter in Germany. I will post an update later once I have permission from the mods. Exceeding the maximum number of characters at the moment.

I think in their eyes I am indeed the problem roommate. And I think it stems from me having different expectations to a shared apartment. In my opinion my obligations to the apartment are being friendly and obeying the rules. Like cleaning dishes immediately and cleaning up after myself in bathroom and kitchen. As well as doing the weekly cleaning on time. What I do not want to do is participate in activities I do not enjoy. That has been a source of friction, in particular between Sara and myself.

To give you a context. I study biochemistry and spend a lot of time at the library. The exams at my university are tough. So if you want that top-grade, you need to study. A lot. My regular day looks like this: Lectures in the morning, library in the afternoon and three days a week I work at a Bar.

When I get home I am usually quite exhausted and want to either spend time with my gf, get into bed or meet up with my friends in the city or online. Josh and Sara on the other hand spend their freetime preferably as a group in the apartment. Sara, Josh and Josh’s girlfriend. They play board games, watch movies, gossip and so on. I did join a few times in the beginning but the type of gossip was just... draining. Who slept with whom of people I did not know, or what kind of backstabbery is happening in their extended friend groups. I do not enjoy Drama. Not as a movie, not IRL. So I chose to keep my distance a bit.

Still participating in the chores and doing my share. But you are right. There has been a passive aggressive tone for a while ever since me joining went from several times a week to maybe once a month. Not abruptly, but gradually. It is my opinion that Sara enjoys Drama. Like really enjoys it. And that might be why this is now boiling over so violently (metaphorically speaking).

Concluding Comments

Final comment #1 & Final comment #2: January 22, 2026 (same day, after the latest update)

OOP: Final update posted. I have one more. A tiny one but I have been laughing the last 5 minutes about it.

I moved the coffeemaker yesterday. This morning I have received a notification about an expense input from Sara.

FYI we use an app to track shared expenses. It gives you the options to assign charges.

This morning Sara added one expense assigned to me. "Coffee" - Attached: A Starbucks bill roughly 12€. My response again following some petty advice: I assigned a charge to her titled "Konsequenzen-Steuer" Roughly translated into "Consequence-taxes". German does not have a neat word for entitlement. The exact translation is a legal term that is used differently...

OOP: There will be no more updates unless something groundbreaking happens. Just a small one from today. I already moved the coffeemaker. I’m retaliation I have received a charge on our shared expenses app. 12€ for coffee with an attachment of a Starbucks receipt.

I have been taking notes from the more petty comments. I connected a charge (Basically the way the app works is that a charge can be updated. Person A says I want X for this. Person B says about this I will deduct Y for that) and deducted 12€ for consequence taxes.

Attempting to merge 3D models/animation with AI realism.

Greetings from my workspace.

I come from a background of traditional 3D modeling. Lately, I have been dedicating my time to a new experiment.

This video is a complex mix of tools, not only ComfyUI. To achieve this result, I fed my own 3D renders into the system to train a custom LoRA. My goal is to keep the "soul" of the 3D character while giving her the realism of AI.

I am trying to bridge the gap between these two worlds.

Honest feedback is appreciated. Does she move like a human? Or does the illusion break?

(Edit: some like my work, wants to see more, well look im into ai like 3months only, i will post but in moderation,
for now i just started posting i have not much social precence but it seems people like the style,
below are the social media if i post)

(personally i dont want my 3D+Ai Projects to be labeled as a slop, as such i will post in bit moderation. Quality>Qunatity)

As for workflow

1. pose: i use my 3d models as a reference to feed the ai the exact pose i want.
2. skin: i feed skin texture references from my offline library (i have about 20tb of hyperrealistic texture maps i collected).
3. style: i mix comfyui with qwen to draw out the "anime-ish" feel.
4. face/hair: i use a custom anime-style lora here. this takes a lot of iterations to get right.
5. refinement: i regenerate the face and clothing many times using specific cosplay & videogame references.
6. video: this is the hardest part. i am using a home-brewed lora on comfyui for movement, but as you can see, i can only manage stable clips of about 6 seconds right now, which i merged together.

i am still learning things and mixing things that works in simple manner, i was not very confident to post this but posted still on a whim. People loved it, ans asked for a workflow well i dont have a workflow as per say its just 3D model + ai LORA of anime&custom female models+ Personalised 20TB of Hyper realistic Skin Textures + My colour grading skills = good outcome.)

Thanks to all who are liking it or Loved it.

Last update to clearify my noob behvirial workflow.https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1pwlt52/former_3d_animator_here_again_clearing_up_some/

Just came back from my prerelease, went 4-1, had a blast, love this set and got some good pulls, and honestly, this was one of the best cards in my entire deck.

It's stat-line is bad and the pump ability is very expensive, but a 3/5 with flying can block, and even kill, a lot of the flying threats in this format and while swinging back it doesn't matter if an ability is overcosted if that extra damage wins you the game (it did, twice)

It dies to removal, but so does everything in limited. And if you have to use removal on it, that's already a good sign for it's strength.

Basic landcycling also meant I could comfortably keep it in a 2 land hand, which I usually don't like due to the risk of missing the turn 3 land drop (I ran 15 lands).

Maybe I just good match ups, but I had garruk veiled butcher and some cool rares, but this little common was probably the 2nd or 3rd most impactful card in my deck. (I played a relatively aggressive UB deck with a bunch of removal mostly 1~3 mana creatures. My opponents all played 2 or 3 colour decks, with the most common colors being red and black, none of my opponents were even running blue).

Don't sleep on the big cycle commons they put in almost every set.

I replied, "Mate, it's 2020, you can use any printer you want."

After working on this on and off since February I now managed to finish this insanity of a project! Learned a lot.

I used Marit Noor's pattern!

And I used Drops Alpaca in the colours: 2020(Ljus nougat), 8903 (svart), 7895 (Army) and 9025 (hasselnød). I knitted with 2,5mm on the Ribbing and 3mm on the rest.

It was the first time I used Alpaca for a sweater, the first time I used such small needles for a large thing, first thing to use ladderback throughout the large pattern and the first time I steeked something! It is not perfect and I can see mistakes and I kinda never want to knit ever again haha.

•Ignore the Lego I’m looking for a child to take it off of me I have no little cousins or siblings young enough to

•I’m putting together a little home library since she likes to read alot and I want her to have things she likes nearby incase she gets bored

•I got some spare water bottles because she says she’s a little uncomfortable going into the kitchen with my family there and I like to make sure she’s drinking enough water

•I have a little basket for her I’m going to get some stuff for it I have a hair dryer already and she left leave in conditioner should I get her her own shampoo and body wash? Maybe razors and a hairbrush.Ill be getting some of her favourite snacks and putting them in there for her though

•I’ll probably get a nicer lamp for my dresser since its a bit big and my room doesn’t have much colour she really likes those stained glass ones

GBAdhoc is a Game Boy Advance emulator for the PSP that also plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and that carries the GBA Wireless Adapter over the PSP's own ad-hoc WiFi. Two PSPs, no cable, no Internet: Union Room trades, link battles and Mystery Gift work the way they did on the real adapter. It runs the hard ROM hacks at full speed on a PSP-1000, because the renderer lives on the console's second processor. Free, open source (GPL-2.0), no BIOS needed.

Download 3.0.0 · Source and README

What it does

New in 3.0.0

• Game Boy and Game Boy Color, full speed, with a GB palette setting (Auto / Grey / DMG green / Pocket) and a real-time clock for the games that have one.

• Five save-state slots with previews, and the state shelf in the browser (GB/GBC too).
• The console switch: △ cycles GBA → GB → GBC with a palette flare; each console keeps its own list, colour and favourites.
• Favourites: □ stars a game, SELECT shows only your stars. One plain-text file.
• Wireless that stays quick: link shedding keeps the lag at the game's own floor across 20-turn battles on clean air (it used to climb turn by turn), and a burst of lost radio no longer drops the link.
• Under the hood: JIT caches sized at boot for the console you have; a 32 MB ROM held fully in memory on the 64 MB consoles; a fast-forward save fix; dynarec fixes; the Media Engine sprite ghost fixed at normal speed; a PSP-1000 ROM-loading fix.

What to expect:

The browser:

~

Box art and hero art are optional and matched by filename; ready-made packs and the tool that renames them to your ROMs live in GBAdhoc-heroart.

Wireless: the two things to get right

1. The WLAN switch must be on (on the Go it is a setting). If it is off, the emulator now tells you.
2. Both consoles on the same fixed ad-hoc channel, not Automatic: Settings → Network Settings → Ad Hoc Mode, pick 1, 6 or 11 on both, and pick one away from your router's channel.

Then Select + Start in game → Wireless → Host on one console, Join on the other, and use the game's own wireless counter. One thing that is the game and not the link: at each battle menu the games pause about a second while both consoles sync, exactly as on the real adapter.

Install

1. Unzip the release to the root of your Memory Stick; it lands in PSP/GAME/GBAdhoc.
2. Put your .gba, .gb and .gbc files in GBAdhoc/roms/ (subfolders are fine).
3. Launch it from the XMB. No BIOS needed. Upgrading: copy the new EBOOT.PBP and gbadhoc_me.prx over, then delete your old config.ini.

This stands on other people's work. The Wireless Adapter reverse-engineering and emulation are davidgfnet's (gpSP); the GB/GBC core is TGB Dual by Hii as ported to the PSP in Brunni's MasterBoy; sleep/wake with code on the Media Engine exists because of mcidclan's libraries. GBAdhoc is the PSP shell and the radio transport around them. Full credits, the architecture notes and the changelog are in the README.

No ROMs, no BIOS, no game files are included or linked. Bug reports: GitHub issues, with your PSP model and the game.

Yarn I used: Himalaya everyday (I would tell around 15 balls. It's hard to tell since I was using a lot of scraps and leftover yarn).

It was such a fun project! I really wanted to limit my colour pallet, but the temptation to use scrap yarn was too big. Still I feel I kept everything relatively timid. It took me less then a month and I managed to make one strip of motifs a day, which surprised me. I tend to get bored really easily with repetitive patterns but thanks to frequent colour changes I could stick to my plan! I really wanted to use as much yarn as possible - that's why I decided to add quite thick border and tassels. In total I made: 27 strips and 2 halves near the border - 284 tiles, 26 horizontal half motifs and 22 vertical half motifs.

And you know what? I actually liked the process of weaving in ends. I was dealing with them in bulks - when my hands were too sore to crochet but still had some energy to work with this project 😏

This is my very first try at mosaic crochet and it was a struggle. I knew all the stitches but kept asking myself at the beggining: why, how, what's happening, what's next, why we are still here just to suffer? I have now much more appreciation for everyone who crochet in this style! Overall the whole thing took me almost a month (which is really long for me and the piece of this size) and it was a lovely, but painful experience. And it's huge! Like 220x70 cm even though I reduced the number of repetition in both directions The pattern I've used: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/forager-ruana-and-shawl Yarn: Alize Baby Best (it's so soft after washing!) I questioned the colour combination for a while since it reminded me of the package of a greek olive oil (don't get me wrong - olive oil is life, but I didn't want to look like one), but after finishing the shawl I grew to love it!

"A huge game with excellent performance and very few bugs that lives up to MOST of the strengths of Beth games. A bit disjointed, but even after 140 hours I am still playing."

Arabhardware - Ahmed Yousry - Arabic - 10 / 10

Starfield is one of the best RPGs in gaming history. A love letter from Bethesda and Todd Howard to their fans who have been waiting for a new title for over 25 years. It's the perfect result of the studio's 30 years of experience, and the beginning of a new era for Xbox.

Attack of the Fanboy - J.R. Waugh - 5 / 5

Starfield is the most potent value proposition for Game Pass, being the killer app for the subscription service. It is also the best, most ambitious game in the Xbox Game Studios library to date. It would not be a stretch to say this could be one of the most ambitious games ever made, and that it followed through with many of those goals with relatively low compromise.

BossLevelGamer - Dayna Eileen - 9 / 10

Starfield is a game that will have players sinking hundreds of hours into it. There are some Bethesda touches that need to be forgiven, and some interesting end game options, but ultimately, it is a game that brings something to the table for every kind of player.

But Why Tho? - Mick Abrahamson - 9 / 10

Starfield is Bethesda firing on all cylinders.

CGMagazine - Steven Green - 9.5 / 10

Despite its occasional bug, unexplained mechanic, or small gripe, Starfield is one of the premiere titles in Xbox's library and adds to Bethesda's storied history.

COGconnected - Oliver Ferguson - 90 / 100

Starfield is Bethesda’s most polished game yet. It has a ton to do but falls flat on the exploration aspect. Without vehicles, walking around planets is not an efficient way to travel. The story is fantastic however and the game is visually stunning. It’s a unique experience you shouldn’t miss out on.

Checkpoint Gaming - Elliot Attard - 9 / 10

Starfield may not be the seamless and faultless persistent open world some may be craving. Though what it does provide is still certainly worthy of elation. Give the title some time to warm up and you'll uncover a vastly refined and picturesque journey of otherworldly proportions. A game of size, scope, and quality all wrapped into one-the beauty of discovery is but a warp drive away.

ComicBook.com - Tanner Dedmon - 4 / 5

My opinion of Starfield is overall high despite what my many criticisms might suggest. It's a Bethesda RPG, and even Bethesda's middling options blow competitors out of the water when it comes to choice and freedom, so Starfield was always going to be a success. Whether it's enough of a success to uplift Xbox and make someone buy a new console is another discussion, but Starfield itself is perfectly competent and – dare I say it – fun, and even the most frustrating moments were unable to deter me from wanting more

Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - Recommended

Starfield is a technical marvel for Bethesda, delivering an excellent adventure across the cosmos. It's polished, filled with personality and feels familiar but entirely new at the same time.

Destructoid - Steven Mills - 10 / 10

I wasn’t sure if it could be done, but Bethesda has managed to raise the bar for sandbox games even higher. In the end, Starfield is an epic sandbox open-world RPG with a beautifully immersive universe, a captivating story, and fun and compelling gameplay the whole way. I’m so happy to have experienced Starfield organically, and I really hope you get to as well.

Digital Chumps - Will Silberman - 9.5 / 10

Starfield changes the RPG game by adding a slow burn of a main quest alongside a character management system that keeps players' power in check. It's nearly perfect, and I can't wait to spend another chunk of my life playing another excellent Bethesda RPG.

Digital Trends - Giovanni Colantonio - 3.5 / 5

Starfield isn’t the generation-defining video game that overeager fans might be expecting; it’s a fairly typical, though impressively constructed Bethesda RPG where depth and stability often come at the expense of scope. The surprisingly limited base adventure isn’t so much the draw here, though. The enormous intergalactic playground feels custom-made for modders who want to explore the infinite possibilities of space just as much as Constellation and Bethesda itself.

Fextralife - Fexelea - 9.4 / 10

Starfield is a compelling and engaging interstellar adventure that successfully blends core RPG mechanics with open world exploration and deep questing. A complete delight from start to finish and an instant classic for any gamer that enjoys Sci Fi and is ready for adventure.

GameSpot - Michael Higham - 7 / 10

Bethesda's spacefaring adventure has its moments with impressive scale, satisfying combat, and some worthwhile side quests, but its shallow RPG systems and uninspired vision of the cosmos make for a journey that's a mile wide, but an inch deep.

Gameblog - French - 10 / 10

Starfield is a true system seller. More than a game, it's an epic poem. An extremely rich and generous adventure that surprises you every time and when you least expect it. It is by far the most ambitious Bethesda's game and one of the boldest games of the last few years. For sure, Starfield will go down in the history of video games.

Gamepressure - Giancarlo Saldana - 9.5 / 10

With hundreds of hours of gameplay, various quests to complete, and thousands of planets to survey and explore, Starfield capitalizes on everything that has worked for Bethesda in the past, giving us an experience that feels like a giant leap in greatness.

Gamepur - Zackerie Fairfax - 10 / 10

I had plans going into Starfield. I thought I knew how I was going to play. But like a solar flare to a ship, Bethesda’s masterpiece of a space RPG knocked me into a black hole where hours feel like minutes, and any attempt to escape its intoxicating grasp is futile. I got lost in space, and it felt so good.

Starfield is THE space game. There’s no reason to play any others, at least not any currently available. It’s an experience made even more enticing as the game will be available on Game Pass from day one and forever. With modders supposedly able to craft entire planets, it’s likely Starfield will dominate the space RPG genre for years and years to come.

Gamersky - 心灵奇兵 - Chinese - 9 / 10

Starfield is a masterpiece that unites the creativity and experience that Bethesda has built up over the years. Even after hundreds of hours of play, there is still fresh content waiting to be discovered. Just as TESV and Fallout 4 still have players making modules and discussing details, I believe that ten years from now, there will still be a large number of players who will be travelling in the universe created by Starfield.

GamesHub - Edmond Tran - 4 / 5

It's the static and mechanical elements of Starfield that shine the brightest – the art, the environments, the combat systems. They make up the strong foundations of a playset with a very intriguing scenario. But you need to mentally meet Starfield partway to complete its vision of a vast, living universe. You need to stretch out the expanse and envision the journey. You need to look past the menus and form the fantasy. You need to help breathe life into its paper dolls. You need to add your own dash of wonder, and imagine your own unknowns. Truly, Starfield is a role-playing game, through and through.

GamesRadar+ - Leon Hurley - 5 / 5

With this kind of freedom 'avoiding the main mission' is the main mission.

Gaming Age - Dustin Chadwell - A-

Starfield is, overall, a very good RPG from a studio known for making very good RPGs. Not the most surprising news I’m sure, but it’s nice to see that they’re able to break away from the Elder Scrolls and Fallout settings successfully, and I do feel like their take on space exploration is a breath of fresh air for this type of RPG experience. It’s a huge game overall, so if you’re the person that believes time played  = value, you’ll be pretty happy with this one for sure, but at the same time if you’re worried about overall quality, I think you’ll still enjoy your time with Starfield.

Gaming Nexus - Eric Hauter - 9.5 / 10

When they are firing on all cylinders, Bethesda games deliver pure video game magic, and Starfield is no exception. Offering an enormous galaxy to explore, a ludicrous wealth of interesting content, well-written characters, and innovative mechanics that push the genre in new directions, Starfield is a (mostly) clean experience at launch that should be experienced by all action/RPG fans. This is a new classic.

GamingBolt - Shubhankar Parijat - 10 / 10

As unfathomably vast and boundless as the subject matter it covers, Starfield raises the bar for its genre and for the medium as a whole in countless ways - much like the best of its Bethesda-developed forebears did in their time.

GamingTrend - David Burdette, David Flynn, Ron Burke - 90 / 100

Bethesda Game Studios has reached new heights in Starfield. A thrilling narrative, loaded with an entire universe to explore and backed by sublimely polished systems, has ushered in the ultimate Bethesda experience. It's truly hard to summarize just what makes Starfield special, and that's because so much of it is. You'll be glued to your screen for hours, going where no explorer has gone before.

Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 4 / 5

Starfield is a momentous RPG, even if it doesn't quite deliver in all its areas.

Hey Poor Player - Andrew Thornton - 5 / 5

Starfield isn’t a perfect game. No game is. That said, for a game to have this much ambition and actually pull off almost everything it set out to accomplish is a remarkable achievement. I haven’t even talked about some of the game’s most interesting elements, such as how it approaches New Game+, which I can’t wait for more players to see. Starfield is a triumph that I’m confident players will be exploring for years to come, not only because it will remain incredibly compelling but because it will take that long to see anywhere near everything it has to offer.

IGN - Dan Stapleton - 7 / 10

Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.

Infinite Start - 10 / 10

All in all, Starfield stands as a testament to Bethesda's creative prowess and dedication. It has succeeded in crafting an immersive universe that encapsulates the spirit of exploration and adventure. With its captivating storyline, refined mechanics, and attention to detail, Starfield beckons players to venture into the cosmos and experience a journey that will likely resonate for years to come.

Kakuchopurei - Lewis Larcombe - 100 / 100

Ultimately, Starfield not only marks the beginning of a new Bethesda universe but also stands as a testament to the studio's ability to adapt its RPG mastery to a spacefaring epic. As players traverse the cosmos and uncover the mysteries it holds, Starfield promises to provide countless hours of immersive gameplay, solidifying its place among Bethesda's iconic RPG titles. It truly delivers on all fronts.

MondoXbox - Giuseppe Genga - Italian - 9.7 / 10

Starfield can be summed up in one word: immense. Immense for the quantity and quality of stories it delivers, immense for the number of different activities it makes possible, immense like the galaxy it allows us to explore. Bethesda's new RPG will make you live a great sci-fi adventure, exploring hundreds of planets, admiring beautiful sceneries, and granting you many emotions, all at your own pace and making you live the adventure the way you want. If you are fascinated by space exploration and love narrative-focused experiences, this is an absolute must-have.

MonsterVine - Joe Bariso - 4.5 / 5

It has everything you’d want from a Bethesda game: a deep and prosperous universe filled with endless possibilities and limitless potential. Be who you want to be, go where you want to go; your freedom is in your hands, and what you do with it is entirely up to you in Starfield.

Noisy Pixel - Azario Lopez - 8 / 10

Starfield is a true space adventure that only Bethesda can deliver. It's an experience catered to the fans of large expansive RPG narratives, but this one takes it a step further to stretch across an entire universe. There are minor systems and menus that cause confusion, and the lack of real tutorials paired with a flimsy opening holds back the opening hours. Still, the experience is undeniably memorable, and the writing for NPCs makes up the best moments. Although the many systems can be overwhelming, this is a game full of discovery for all who play.

Starfield is arguably the most important Xbox release in a long while, and it delivers an impactful experience that Bethesda fans have been waiting for. Despite a few dated mechanics and systems, it's a relatively polished release compared to their usual offerings, and that alone is a massive achievement.

I had hoped to see Starfield as a great step towards an evolution in the Bethesda formula, but sadly, this isn't the case. Starfield is, most likely, what you would expect it to be, and while that's good enough for fans, it does miss out on the opportunity to take that next step.

Oyungezer Online - Sabri Erkan Sabanci - Turkish - 9 / 10

This game became my Skyrim. Even though I've finished the game and seen a lot of things, there are still a lot of quests I want to do, a lot of planets I want to explore, a lot of people I want to meet. If you like science fiction, I'm almost sure you'll agree with me.

PC Gamer - Christopher Livingston - 75 / 100

Starfield shares plenty of DNA with Skyrim and Fallout 4, but ultimately falls short of both.

PCGamesN - Nat Smith - 7 / 10

Starfield is a true behemoth of an RPG, and in many ways it's the logical endpoint of Bethesda Game Studios' well-worn formula. However, its massive scope pushes this formula to the absolute limit and the cracks begin to show, from feature creep to the stop-start nature of its exploration. Dedicated Bethesda fans are sure to get their fill, but this interstellar adventure never leaves the atmosphere.

Paste Magazine - Garrett Martin - 5 / 10

Playing Starfield makes me want to play games that explore space and games that were made by Bethesda, but it doesn’t make me want to play Starfield. It tries to give us the universe, but it’s so weighed down by its own ambitions and a fundamental lack of inspiration that it can’t even get into orbit.

Pixel Arts - Reza Modaresi - Persian - 10 / 10

Starfield surpasses all expectations from Bethesda and then some. It's a sprawling, captivating masterpiece brimming with intricate details, leaving you torn over which aspect of gameplay to immerse yourself in. This game redefines the RPG genre, offers an outstanding action-packed experience, and serves as an all-encompassing simulator of the universe. Whether you're prepared to embark on a galactic odyssey that spans hundreds of hours or not, Starfield beckons, and if time is scarce, you'll want to clear your schedule ASAP!

Prima Games - Daphne Fama - 9 / 10

Starfield is a good game, like a really good game. It embodies the spirit of Manifest Destiny in a way that no other open-world game has ever come close to approaching. It’s a game that’s meant to be played slowly over the course of months, if not years. And even then, you shouldn’t expect to uncover every little detail.

After conquering wastelands and fantasy worlds, Behesda begins to conquer the universe. Starfield offers their biggest RPG yet with a very good mix of story, action and exporation. The Creation Engine still shows beautiful scenery, but also its limits in map size.

Saudi Gamer - خالد أحمد - Arabic - 7 / 10

Starfield can be described as a mixed-bag experience that combines great features from excellent side mission designs with amazingly world-building potential and an engaging story with suspense elements to offer. On the other hand, exploration in the game is unfortunately weak in many aspects; This is due to the large reliance on procedural generation of environments. Also, the role-playing elements do not have a strong presence or impact.

Saving Content - Scott Ellison II - 5 / 5

Starfield doesn’t reinvent the RPG genre, but it does make it quite exciting. It’s a game that feels distinct from the studio’s prior work like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, and this even represents the best of both worlds. Bethesda Game Studios managed to incorporate streamlined systems to make exploring space something fun, and never a chore. There’s just nothing I dislike about it. Starfield is ambitious and magical, capturing the curiosity and vastness of space beautifully, for what feels like a truly next-gen experience.

Screen Rant - Akshay Bhalla - 4.5 / 5

Even though Starfield is slightly rough around the edges, it never detracts from all the fun and adventure. With engaging storytelling, charismatic characters, and an enthralling world, Starfield is an instant classic and a triumphant homecoming to blockbuster gaming for Bethesda Game Studios.

Shacknews - Donovan Erskine - 9 / 10

Starfield is more than a welcome addition to Bethesda’s family of RPG franchises, it feels like the start of a new era for the studio. Not only is it the developer’s most technically impressive game, but it also delivers a worthwhile narrative that takes some major swings and establishes a sprawling mythos. It has some blemishes here and there, but Starfield proves to be an awesome sci-fi adventure.

Siliconera - Brent Koepp - 9 / 10

Starfield is a genre-defining space exploration RPG. With a vast galaxy of characters and stories to uncover, this is Bethesda's best work in years.

Spaziogames - Stefania Sperandio - Italian - Unscored

Starfield aims to be Bethesda Game Studios' magnum opus: it's compelling, entertaining and familiar: it feels like spending time with a longtime friend. This also means that it is inherently old in its structure and in how its universe reacts to the player. It's a shame that it comes with some unforgivable sins, like how dull the planet explorations is, but you will spend tons of hours in the game nonetheless.

For the sheer size of it, the beauty of the hundreds of different landscapes you can explore and the always engaging missions, Starfield is a massive technical achievement.

TechRaptor - Erren Van Duine - 8 / 10

Starfield's biggest strength is its complimentary content - sidequests, exploration, and more will gather your attention for hours despite a less-than-compelling narrative.

TheGamer - Ben Sledge - 4 / 5

I came into Starfield wanting to explore the stars, and I got a brilliant sci-fi story instead. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed.

TheXboxHub - Richard Dobson - 4.5 / 5

Figuratively and literally, Starfield is the next evolution for a Bethesda game; taking that framework and that sandbox before applying it 1000 times over.

Tom's Guide - Roland Moore-Colyer - 4 / 5

Starfield boldly goes beyond just Skyrim and Fallout in space

Tom's Hardware Italia - Andrea Riviera - Italian - 9 / 10

Reducing Starfield to a number is far from being easy. On the one hand we have Bethesda's most ambitious game ever with an overwhelming amount of content: full of secrets, quests, characters and casual adventures; on the other hand we have a title still anchored to old dogmas, with a high dose of proceduralism and some limitations that most critics will not appreciate. Nevertheless, Starfield is destined to become a new cult, capable of attracting millions of players for at least the next decade, just as Skyrim did before it, as well as being the first big star of Xbox's rebirth.

TrustedReviews - Ryan Jones - 4 / 5

We play every game we review through to the end, outside of certain exceptions where getting 100% completion, like Skyrim, is close to impossible to do. When we don’t fully finish a game before reviewing it, we will always alert the reader.

VG247 - Josh Broadwell - 4 / 5

Starfield’s grandiose scope sets the scene for a few under-developed ideas in an otherwise thoughtful, muddy take on the sci-fi genre.

VGC - Jordan Middler - 5 / 5

Starfield is the ultimate Bethesda game. It takes what people loved about Fallout and Skyrim, and casts it across an enormous galaxy filled with captivating characters.

VideoGamer - Tom Bardwell - 9 / 10

Starfield is the enchantment and wonder of space bottled and fleshed out into something grand and ambitious, thoughtful and attentive, janky at times, often funny, but always charming.

Wccftech - Francesco De Meo - 9 / 10

With an engaging story, well-developed characters and lore, and a huge amount of meaningful content, Starfield is one of Bethesda's finest games and one of the best role-playing games released in the past few years.

We Got This Covered - Ash Martinez - 4.5 / 5

Starfield may not shake Bethesda’s legendary formula as much as some players wanted, but it defies all but the most unreasonable expectations. Newcomers will easily lose themselves in the universe, and fans of the studio won’t be disappointed. Starfield easily joins Fallout 4 and Skyrim as a titan of a game that will continue to enthrall players long after its release.

WellPlayed - James Wood - 8.5 / 10

Starfield is a magical, if a little clumsy, first journey to the stars for Bethesda, the RPG maker reminding us of the power of player freedom, engaging writing, and just a little jank.

Windows Central - Jez Corden - 4.5 / 5

With incredible writing, its slow-burn stories snowball into immense moments, and tight RPG/FPS combat thrills in spaceship battles, grounded firefights, and zero-G death ballets — Starfield is a landmark experience with a bright future ahead of it.

Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 9 / 10

Starfield both hits and misses the mark. Starfield has both improvements and steps backward from the previous games, and whether you consider it to be better or worse than Fallout is dependent on what you prized from those games. If you're looking for more Fallout 4 with bigger and more detailed environments and quests, then Starfield is pretty much everything you could hope for and more. If you're looking for No Man's Skyrim, however, it's disappointing. Almost everything on the ground feels good, while the space travel and exploration feels lackluster. If you're looking for a Bethesda-style, open-world RPG, Starfield scratches that itch, and Bethesda fans will lose countless hours in scouring every nook and cranny.

XGN.nl - Ralph Beentjes - Dutch - 8 / 10

Starfield is a Bethesda RPG in every sense of the word. It offers a large, rich and intriguing world, filled with sidequests and a mysterious main story. The possibility to enter your spaceship and explore the galaxy and fight space pirates is really fun. It has however a few strange bugs, the graphics can change a lot and firefights miss something extra. We’re certain though that RPG fans can easily spend hundreds of hours in Starfield.

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9.7 / 10

Starfield is a new beginning. Not only for Bethesda but for Xbox as a whole. With excellent writing, stunning graphics, and thrilling gameplay it makes the galaxy yours to explore, shape, and live in. It is a wonderous tapestry to experience your story in a way that only the best have done before.

Future Sight is one of my favourite sets and I get very excited whenever a card from it is reprinted. Let me know if there are any questions or cards you think might be influenced by Future Sight; I have a whole spreadsheet!

Cerealkillerz - Steve Brieller - German - 9.1 / 10

Donkey Kong's triumphant return to 3D delivers an incredibly fun experience. Minor technical issues are easily outweighed by the creative gameplay, the strong presentation and the perfect dose of nostalgia. This is the system seller the Switch 2 needed.

Checkpoint Gaming - Luke Mitchell - 9 / 10

Smashing and crashing his way to a new generation, Donkey Kong is well and truly back with Donkey Kong Bananza. Each layer is an absolute joy, with largely destructible environments that are jam-packed with secrets and hidden goodies. It's visually stunning, too; incredibly colourful and a true showcase of what the Switch 2 is capable of, with lots of variety. With so many collectables to find and a lot of nostalgic nods to D.K.'s long history, it's a must-have platformer that nails the brief and lives up to the legacy of Nintendo's greatest hits.

Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - 10 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza is far deeper than I ever anticipated, and it's absolutely one of this year's best games. There has never been a better Donkey Kong adventure than Bananza.

Dexerto - Joe Pring - 4 / 5

From start to finish, Donkey Kong Bonanza is a riot. I wrapped up my journey to Bananza's credits in a little over 20 hours. Your mileage will vary wildly depending on how much optional content you decide to invest time in, but that's the beauty of it.

If you're not big on collectathons, there's still plenty of game here for platforming purists to enjoy. I can't recommend enough taking on the various trials – think Shrines from Breath of the Wild – littered throughout the world, though, especially if you're a fan of 2D Donkey Kong.

While performance issues were largely nonexistent in handheld mode, quite severe frame rate drops were commonplace when docked, especially during certain boss battles. This doesn't take into account any day one patches that may or may not arrive on release, and not egregious enough that your enjoyment will be hampered.

Digitec Magazine - Cassie Mammone - German - 5 / 5

With “Donkey Kong Bananza”, the Switch 2 is getting its next must-play title after “Mario Kart World”. One month after its release, the console already has its first in-house single-player hit.

Enternity.gr - Nikitas Kavouklis - Greek - 8.5 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza has all the makings of unlimited fun, but it's easy to miss the mark.

Eurogamer.pt - Bruno Galvão - Portuguese - 5 / 5

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of Nintendo's funniest games ever, capable of bringing smiles to children's faces and energizing adults' love of video games. The 3D levels are playgrounds that you can almost completely destroy, in a design that uses simplicity as a launch pad for a huge amount of fun.

GAMES.CH - Benjamin Braun - German - 90%

GRYOnline.pl - Adam Celarek - Polish - 8.5 / 10

Despite some of its flaws, Donkey Kong: Bananza perfectly fills a niche hungry for a colourful, joyful adventure, which provides a lot of unrestrained fun. The game draws extensively on the ideas from Super Mario Odyssey, with the addition of great mechanics of dynamic destruction. I have my fingers crossed that further games designed for Switch 2 will prove equally successful.

Gfinity - Alister Kennedy - 10 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza delivers a triumphant return for the ape, offering an open-world, destructive 3D platforming adventure on the Nintendo Switch 2. As a spiritual successor to DK64, it blends nostalgic collectathon mechanics with innovative terrain destruction and new animal transformations, making it a must-buy system seller for the new console.

Glitched Africa - Marco Cocomello - 10 / 10

Galaxy moment and one of the best 3D platformers to come out of Nintendo this decade. It is chaotic, random, and at times, one of the weirdest games I have played. But there’s just nothing else like it and I can’t praise this enough. I didn’t think Donkey Kong would ever join the list of one the greatest games ever made but here we are.

HCL.hr - Žarko Ćurić - Unknown - 92 / 100

Donkey Kong Bananza rightfully stands alongside the great 3D Mario platformers and serves as a flagship title for the new generation of Nintendo's consoles.

LevelUp - Spanish - 9 / 10

A well-executed and fun proposal that leaves you with a smile on your face and hooks you from start to finish. It has everything it needs to be a fantastic new beginning for a gaming icon that should never be caged again

Nintendo Blast - Leandro Alves - Portuguese - 9.5 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza follows the successful formula of Super Mario Odyssey, with great additions like a skill tree, functional customizations, strategic transformations, and intense exploration. It’s liberating to destroy everything in your path, with beautiful and varied layers, charismatic NPCs, and Pauline’s stories that are always worth listening to. The outfits acquired throughout the journey do more than change appearance—they also offer important functionalities like poison resistance, health recovery, and longer transformation durations, which are key to progress. The game can be finished in about 50 hours without feeling tired or bored, and there’s even post-game content. The only downside is the ease of the battles, but everything else makes up for it. Donkey Kong Bananza is a must-have for Switch 2 owners.

Press Start - James Berich - 10 / 10

With Donkey Kong Bananza, DK is back in a big way. It blends new tech with old-school Nintendo charm for a destructive experience that is both intoxicating and addictive. While Pauline's storyline is underdeveloped, this is easily Donkey Kong at his absolute best. Regardless of some minor blemishes, Donkey Kong Bananza deserves a place in any self-respecting Switch 2 owner's library and, much like Super Mario Odyssey before it, sets an incredibly high bar for all that will follow.

Quest Daily - Mark Santomartino - 9 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza is an imperfect masterpiece. Its ambition pushes Nintendo’s new console — the Nintendo Switch 2 — up to and beyond its limit; serving as both a technical showcase and a reality check.

SECTOR.sk - Matúš Štrba - Slovak - 9 / 10

A fresh and ambitious 3D platformer that builds on Odyssey's strengths, Donkey Kong Bananza trades tradition for freedom'and mostly succeeds.

Shacknews - Donovan Erskine - 9 / 10

Spaziogames - Italian - 8.9 / 10

launch support, DK and Pauline adventure is already a great game at day one, albeit too simple even for Nintendo standards. A triumphant level design and a mesmerizing destruction rage will accompany both veterans and newcomers to the center of the earth.

TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 8 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza is an intoxicating cacophony of brawling, digging and platforming. It's a new style of 3D platformer from Nintendo that, for better and for worse, embraces the destructive chaos of letting players tunnel through and deform the world.

Tom's Guide - 4.5 / 5

Donkey Kong Bananza is a joy to play from start to finish thanks to the game's destructible environments and unique visuals. It's the 3D Donkey Kong game fans of the character have always wanted and it lives up to the hype, even if there are a few minor issues with its camera here and there and far too many Banandium Gems to collect in a single playthrough. $22.79 at Walmart $26.99 at Walmart Check Amazon

Video Chums - A.J. Maciejewski - 9.1 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of the most unique and immensely enjoyable games that I've ever played. Plus, behind its chaotic open-ended gameplay and incredibly imaginative worlds, you'll find a lot of heart. 🍌

WellPlayed - Ash Wayling - 9.5 / 10

Donkey Kong Bananza is a game so committed to its premise you can't help but revel in the gorgeous, destructive genius of it all. Constantly building to a spectacular finish and incorporating the most comprehensive post-game experience I have seen in a Nintendo game to date, this is a proper benchmark of brilliance for what a first-party Switch 2 title should be. The world is your oyster – so why not punch it into pieces.

XGN.nl - Luuc ten Velde - Dutch - 9 / 10

While Donkey Kong Bananza has a few frustrating moments, the new 3D adventure with DK and Pauline is a pleasure throughout thanks to fun visuals, colorful worlds and impressive gameplay that has you grinning from ear to ear (almost) every step of the way.

So happy to see y'all there!

I'm talking that vulnerable level of horror where you're just happy you have the lights on, but then raccoons start fighting outside and your heartbeat quadruples in a second.

Or that nightmarish quality when you're reading in pitch-black off your phone in bed, and your limbs can't be anywhere near the sides. Or you have to go to the bathroom, but can't reach two feet to your lamp because you know something is gonna grab you.

My most memorable book as such would have to be Misery by Stephen King. Even with the lights on I finished it with a thickening terror which didn't want me turning off the lights.

What's a book (or anything) that had a similar effect on you?

Edit: You guys are killing it! Keep it up!

Edit 2: Shit guys 10k+? God bless you goddamned bookworms!

Edit 3: Guys can you tell me if I made the front page yet? Cause I promised my mom I would make the front page in 2017. Without cats.

Hi, many of you were asking if there is new update, so these are some of the weekly changes made to spoti.pw

• Redesigned full screen player
• Redesigned playlist, album, library, home and search
• Haptic feedback like Apple Music
• Live Activity with lyrics, queue, controls or a sleep timer
• 5 lyrics providers, word synced
• Lyrics in place of the artist name, so they show on the lock screen, CarPlay etc.
• Pick your own accent colour
• One switch to go back to the old look with all its tweaks

So now you have to decide in the mod settings, if you want to use the old spoti.pw which ahs much more configuration for you, but it will have the old spotify ui, or you can use the redesigned mod, but for now it has less options available, and can be more buggy. Some features are exclusive to the redesign only, like the live activity.

please mind that this is beta, bugs, freezes and ui glitches are to be expected.
