What would you bring to an adult show and tell?

I don't necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.
I'd probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.
I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.
I've since moved on to the RG405M.
What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?
Would love to see photos as well
I just looked up amigurumi after reading it here, how hard is it to get started with 0 experience?
It isn't that hard. You need a crochet hook, some yarn and stuffing. And maybe one needle with a big eye - but that's not that important. I watched some youtube tutorials and learnt that way. The big trick with it is to use the "magic circle" to start the project. Here is a random video for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ushHnIxLdYw&ab_channel=olliehollycrochet Hope you can try it :)
*forgot that you need a marker too to see where the "row" starts. (I usually just use a piece of those twisty ties that comes with packaging, but you can use a simple paperclip or even a big safety-pin.)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thanks! I'll give it a shot!
The magic circle can be a struggle. If you do check it out and this ends up as a point of frustration keep looking for more tutorials. I went through a few before someone did it in a way that made sense to me lol
I've taught a few people to crochet and all it really takes is patience, and and accepting that you're going to feel like you've somehow got both too many and also not enough hands for the first little while. There's no shortage of tutorials online so it's just a question of finding a beginner one that clicks with you and going from there.
And if you get stuck, need to ask newbie questions, or just want to show off the first few wonky rows of stitches you make to people who will understand what an achievement it is, !crochet@lemmy.ca is the community for you!
