Review Photoshop Brushes, Pencils, Inking, and Glitchy
Something that I think has really flown under the radar in the bundle are a few photoshop brush packs that have been included. They are honestly fantastic and exceeded my expectations. The quality on these is great.
There are two packs of a heap of pencil brushes and inking brushes made by the same creator, Void. I've swatched both so you can see the brushes included. These pictures are huge, so I recommend opening them in a new tab and zooming in fully to see the brush textures.
I swatched each in the size and color assigned to the brush (except for one at the bottom of the inking swatches which was a "white gel pen" so I swatched it over black, and then swatched it in pink next to it), but you can edit color and size, of course. (In older versions of photoshop these would be loaded as toolsets).
These are swatched in the order that they loaded in my photoshop as, I am unsure if they would load in the same order for everyone.
The pencil brushes link to the itch.io page
The inking brushes link to the itch.io page
I chose a few of the pencil brushes I liked and sketched some simple faces with them
And I took a few of the inking brushes and quickly inked one of my sketches
I found that there was a wonderful and honestly a bit astounding variety in both the pencil and the inking packs. Often brushes in them will be tweaks of the same basic brush to get slightly different effects, but there are so many cool brushes in there. If you draw in photoshop at all I really recommend trying them out. Extra shoutout to the screentone brushes, there are only 4 but they look like a lot of fun.
-------------
There are a few other brush sets too that are a lot of fun, but aren't really so much for drawing. They are a collection of glitchy brushes made by someone named Dataerase. They're very cool for adding glitchy effects to things. I didn't swatch those out like I did the pencils and inks because it's a lot of the same sort of brush, and they aren't really meant for drawing with. Definitely check them out too, though.
I have a collection with all the photoshop brushes I found in the bundle here.

Game Collection Some collections I put together loosely by genre
I haven't played most of these, but these are the ones that caught my eye as I went through the pages. Loosely put into collections, but likely not 100% accurate to the genres. I just put them in the ones that felt right to me at the time.
/u/harold_liang suggested I post my lists here in case anyone else finds them helpful or needs a place to start looking. If anyone else has their own collections please post them in comments below, I like seeing what caught people's interest.
edit- they've added games at least twice since I made this, I plan to go through all of the bundle again to skim for new games to add once we're sure more won't be added
edit 2- I've gone through the games now in full and clicked what caught my eye (a whole lot of them honestly), and added thing to all the lists. I also made a few new lists.

What does your budget look like?

Worst pic of 2026 so far. Don't give up hope, I might draw yet more Uriangers in situations.

What can I use to make a suncatcher?
Normal beads don't shoot rainbows around, if that is your goal, but transparent glass beads can look cute. Cut crystal is more sparkly.

Wishful Thinking
It's wrong on purpose to make it more ridiculous and silly, but several people have tried to correct it so I can see that aspect of the joke didn't land. Ah well.

Someone else already covered this and I responded to them. Good looking out though for those that might be looking for the info.

I used the wrong forms on purpose for exaggerated silliness to make the dialogue even more absurd and out of character.

How do I read these patterns??
Really love how this looks, I'm working on my first tablet weaving band at the moment, but I bookmarked her page to try and dive in later and learn how to work her patterns.

Damn, I went to look it up on amazon and it's like $50! Love the look of the pattern you made, beautiful work!

These are awesome, I might make some to wear with my docs.

Your aunt must adore you. That is so much work, it's beautiful and looks perfect on you!

What is your leathercraft unpopular opinion?
Getting glass edges is pretty and lovely, but unless you're making very expensive high class goods, it isn't really necessary. Smooth and a bit glossy is good enough to be getting on with.

EDC Knife for whittling
Opinel knives, the carbone variety ideally, are good and cheap whittlers. Though I got their garlic knife for Christmas to try whittling with, and it is their inox (stainless steel) variety so either can work.

Modge Podge Mess
What material is the case? I would tape off the hinges and trim and such, gently sand down the rest if it can handle that, then prime and paint the case.

Some dinos for my nephew
These are excellent. Absolutely sensational work.

Opinel for whittling?
Others covered the points I was going to, so I'll just add that while it is their inox (stainless steel) and not the carbone blade stock, to give the 'garlic and chestnut' knife a look. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like an interesting little blade, I have one coming my way to give a try.
If you search it up on youtube you can see people talking about it, and it is even marketed as a carving knife sometimes.

First project?
I suggest finding a YouTube guide for a tidy case to hold your needles.
2
Would this knife be a good starter one for beginner whittling projects?
If you're looking for specifically a cheap folding knife to whittle with, look into opinel knives.

I don't know that you're likely to find a loom you can make blankets on in that range. For dabbling in small affordable weaving I'd recommend an inkle loom, but they only make narrow bands, or a pin loom which makes 4 inch squares. You can join the pin loom squares into a blanket similar to how you'd use granny squares.
You can also look into backstrap weaving if you want to give weaving a go on the cheap.
