hobby crafts and great and everyone should get into a hobby craft, but I really really really really need people to do at least a little bit of research into what they’re interested in and learn important things such as that fact that polymer clay, air-dry clay, and resin are NOT food safe. yes that includes clay that’s been coated in a clear coat like mod podge (the dishwasher safe mod podge is not food safe)
the reason that some* ceramics are food safe is because glazes melt into essentially a thin layer of glass on the surface, and the clay is heated to a temperature that vitrifies it. and I say some because not all ceramics/glazes/firing temps are food safe, and that’s a whole other deep dive of research for people who get into ceramics. but the point is that most people can’t do that at home, so they look into non-ceramic materials and assume that’s a cheaper and easier way to make food-safe items, when really what’s going to happen is all these materials will leach into your food, especially with heat applied
also can resin creators wear proper PPE with gloves and respirator, I am begging you, that shit is toxic to touch and inhale

Happy Neil Banging out the Tunes day to all who celebrate!
I’ve gotten into resin printing and mini painting recently so I had to print out the little Neil model I made last year in honor of my favorite holiday

FACT: People make resin die.
FACT: Some craftsmen, NOT ALL OF THEM, some craftsmen are just people in their basement putting resin into moulds and selling those babies online with the care and precision of a whiskey licked blacksmith in the wild west.
FACT: It's not unlikely for a lot of those dice to be incorrectly filled, uneven or Weighted.
FACT: If I was to buy a whole bunch of these die with many of them being weighted, some of them would be weighted to low numbers and some to high.
FACT: It is reasonable and likely for me to gravitate towards the die that give me High Numbers and go "oh these are my special dice" "oh this one is blessed by the goddess" and to remove low rolling dice from my line up.
FACT: This is not a phenomenon that occurs as often with metal die.
FACT: If I was a player who staunchly defended my metal dice while everyone else at the table used resin or fanmade dice, if I was a player who stood by my dice through thick or thin, refusing to switch dice out from my roster, if I was a player who had Publicly claimed my loyalty to metal dice on many occasions, I would statistically roll worse.
FACT: Brian Murphy does not have just as good a chance as rolling as any of you.
