The engagement ring I bought lived on a shelf in the living room for a few months waiting for the trip I intended to propose during.

My wife had no idea. It was hilarious to show her pictures I took of her looking at things on the shelf and not noticing, like picking out a movie and just completely missing the big wooden ring box.

Which i guess is a long way of saying I love this game!

My wife nearly tripped over me when I got down on one knee, lol. It was the height of Pokemon Go, and it was a little too good of a distraction from me being suspicious in the park where we first met.

I love that. Were you expecting her to notice and had a plan in case she did notice, or were you just going with the flow?

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

Oh I knew she wouldn't notice it. And if she did, I would have just proposed then.

She's wonderfully oblivious to some things (and still is, which makes it still so much fun to do with birthday presents and such for her)

What's a cricut? Is it a brand of water bottle? Wait, do water bottles have brands now?

[-] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Cricuts are a brand of paper cutting machine, it's used by crafters and artists to cut out things like stickers (that's what we see the water bottle for) and scrapbooking things. I'm assuming it's a gift for ops wife.

It can basically move a blade along an electronically controlled path, so it can cut intricate shapes.

It can also use a pen or marker attachment to draw on paper, so that you can have things that look like handwritten script. So for example, if you want to send out a bunch of wedding invitations and you want to make "hand written" addresses on the envelopes, you can use certain script fonts with your existing address book, or even try to design a custom font from your own writing, and use that as a mass produced "writing" tool. There are a bunch of ways to make drawings and things like that, too.

Somehow my brain translated "cricut" as "cactus" and I was having the darnedest time finding it...

Nice board games too; love Clank :)

[-] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That's OK. I spent a few wasted seconds trying to find the "circuit."

What is the purpose of this experiment?

[-] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Fun, mostly. She noticed basically right away, do, fun's all done for me.

Hope you like CUSTOM LABELS.

My wife has gone all in for the past month or two.
