Look I love my Mum. She’s great. She raised me, provided food and shelter. But at no point did she give me a hand-stitched Chrono Trigger tapestry that took her a year to create.
Big fail in my opinion.
This tapestry took Reddit user Strifeprime’s Mum a year of work. It has 53,000 stitches and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Interestingly, on this Reddit thread, Strifeprime admits to crying a bit when he received the gift, saying that he was “not afraid to admit as a 33 year old man that I broke down a little bit”. I am the exact same age, and I completely understand. It’s interesting how profoundly games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana affected an entire generation of gamers.
What an incredible gift.

Hi @strange !
It would be interesting to have an app that creates a “Paint By Numbers” outline.
Get that printed on canvas, then colour it in and frame the result.
… Can I have one please? Made, possibly, out of Lego? @mum
