Speaking of ugly blue clothing items:



@StableInvadeel Ah... so that was that shrieking echo I heard...

Had a nightmare last night I was smoking cigars with Jeffrey Epstein at a party. I just remembered it. Creepy. Probably time to lay off the news a bit.

@ThanosReXXX - I think I just briefly entered a parallel dimension while thinking about eight and 16 bit sprites being game models of today’s hyper realistic game characters. Oh, and I would absolutely wear that knitted snowman suit anytime, anywhere. In fact, I want one badly. Anyone handy with that sort of thing?

@Joe-b what new pikmin game ? What way will it be different from other pikmin games? Is it for 3DS or switch . Is there an online nintendo magazine I can subscribe to ?

@bimmy-lee Maybe @StableInvadeel, although I haven't seen him post anything about knitting in quite a while.
I do miss the continuation of the little animal puppets that he made, though...

EDIT:
Here's the page where I got the picture of that suit from, in case you feel like spending the money to buy it:

And here's the entire collection of ugly Christmas suits & sweaters that they have:

@Ninfan Nothing new. Pikmin 4 has already been in development ever since the third game was released for the Wii U. It's hidden away somewhere on a shelf in Nintendo's "almost finished but not (yet) released" archive, gathering dust until someone at Nintendo's HQ finally remembers that there's actually people out there, that want for Nintendo to release it already, like me and @Octane...

I haven't made any new plushies in a while, my small loom is currently occupied with a scarf that I may or may not finish this year.

@StableInvadeel Well, winter is coming, so I hope it isn't going to be too cold for you over there, otherwise you may wanna hurry up with finishing that scarf already...

I have a few stockpiled from last winter

@StableInvadeel So why make another one, then?
Where's mah friggin' plushies?

@ThanosReXXX they're gifts, silly. I, Manly Man McMale, am physically unable to wear colorful knitted scarves. So of course, I give most of the things I knit away.

Haven't had much time or will to knit lately, so right now my artistic itch is being scratched with random doodles every now and then.

@Link-Hero You're very welcome. Glad I could be of assistance. And PostImage links are permanent, so no fear of images disappearing either. Unless of course you use that "delete" link...

An additional tip: you may also want to create a free account, depending on whether or not you want to keep track of all the pictures and/or albums you upload.

@StableInvadeel So... you knit scarfs for others, but when you need something to keep your own neck warm in winter, you just buy it, or what?

On a side note: I've honestly never seen the words "knitting" and "manly" in one sentence, unless it also mentioned the word "not" right in between...

Yeah, TinyPic went dark for non-subscribers and deleted images, and Photobucket went subscription quite a while ago and finally a month or two ago, decided to blur out all images they formerly hosted for non-subscribers. With two tiers - the one that lets you post on external websites like forums is like $350/yr or something.

I think the "free internet" is coming to a close...and when it does, we'll have arrived at the point where the internet made nothing better and made everything worse. If I could uninvent the internet, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I do keep some of the hats for myself if that's better.

And I did keep Voodoo Joe from my original batch of plushies. Couldn't find a good reason to give him away.

@ThanosReXXX - Oh man, those are great. I like their categories: Plaid, Ugly, Less Ugly, and Short Suits. I’ll stick with my ugly Colts Christmas sweater, unless...

@StableInvadeel - So, you’re saying you have the time if I send you measurements?

Maybe if you wanted a small doll sized version of it that looked completely different

@NEStalgia Here 'ya go, buddy, it's not quite un-inventing, but it's surely the next best thing:

Just found out that this site doesn't work correctly in Firefox, unless you allow it to display pop-ups. Don't know if it's the same in other browsers, but just so you know. And it's completely harmless and safe to do so.

@StableInvadeel Ah, not to worry, my friend. Obviously just pulling your leg.

@bimmy-lee At some point, I already figured you to be an "ugly Christmas sweater" guy, and seeing as you're also into wrestling, there may not be too many people wanting to risk laughing at you for wearing one, so I guess you'd get away with it as well...

@StableInvadeel - I’ll take what I can get. Let me just take some measurements on my Randy Savage action figure, and I’ll get back with you.

@ThanosReXXX - Haha, you nailed it. I’m that guy. I’m a handful of other “guys” too. I take pride in having no pride and love just to get a laugh out of people. I’m probably not the average rasslin fan though. My beard extends above my neck. I was a high school wrestler though, and I’ll twist someone up into a pretzel if they look at me funny.

@bimmy-lee I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of a beard you're actually supposed to have. Beards extending above necks sound just like the average normal beard to me...

Note to self: Do NOT read the comments under articles that may or may not be controversial. One's skull can only survive so much facepalming.

Mods, I hope that you're compensated for stuff like this in some way. At least with free site merch or a drink of choice or something.
