Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!
I work in a nursing home. Most of my elderly residents have the shakes, arthritis, troubles with vision, and other ailments that mean they can't keep up with their hobby of sewing. Yesterday I showed one of my residents this game. She used to be a professional dressmaker irl.

It brought her SO much joy. She lit up when she saw all the different fabrics and patterns, and started comparing them against each other to design a new dress. She has been so depressed recently. It can get so boring in nursing homes, because as I said, people become too frail and sick to keep up with the hobbies they used to have. So when I saw her smile and engage with the game, when I saw the gears in her brain turn and her creative juices flow once again, it literally brought a tear to my eye.

I cannot sing this game enough praises, and I'm not even factoring in the joy that I myself have experienced while playing it. It has inspired me to sew again. And I mean really sew, not just mending (which is all I have done with my sewing machine in the last decade). I have found my creativity again.

Dressmaker team, please know that you have created something extremely special here. You have given old ladies with arthritis the gift of dressmaking again. You have inspired me to get out my sewing machine again. And our experiences are only a drop in the ocean; you have touched so many lives with this game.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Bird Flu Is Raging on a Mink Farm. It Could Spark a Human Pandemic, Experts Say, but Officials Won’t Act.

Federal officials brushed off the issue as Utah prioritized the fur industry’s interests. Little has been done to stop the spread of the virus and ensure it can’t spread to humans, a failure that expe...
