My favorite game as a teen. That is awesome, she did a fantastic job.

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Play it today it'll probably still be your favorite. It's so good

I feel old. But I love it

[-] late_night@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months ago

The best part of it is that she didn't use shortcuts, like having black fabric as the background instead of stitches. I love to see people fully dedicated to their project like that.

Holy crap, that's frigging incredible! Very nicely done.

That's awesome! This is one of my favorite games of all time! I have a Metroid pattern I found on Etsy but it looks so involved I haven't gotten around to it yet lol

I think about that boss battle at least once every month

[-] DrPop@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

awesome job, energy Cheerios and all. It's she planning on framing it?

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah, this is getting framed and will hang next to my desk! :D

This is so cool, I'm mind blown

[-] FullOfBallooons@leminal.space 4 points 5 months ago

That looks so good! I can't even imagine how long that took.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Off and on, it took all of 2023 (though she didn't get much work done over the summer)!

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Meanwhile I've been on with my own full coverage for like 2 years and still only stitched three pages. FML.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I believe in you! :D

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I know that took a while. Congrats to her!
