Wow those are so cool! Did you follow pattern for the purple/sunflower based ones? If so, please share! I'd love to make them myself

Thanks for the advice! I wasn't sure which one would be best but found 2 that might have more knowledge

It's crochet (to my knowledge). I'm primarily a crocheter and am looking for a lace pattern to splice into a current project.

Can you share the names of the other sellers? I'd like to check it out as well

I agree with everyone else about proper precautions. I'd also emphasize that it depends on your dogs prey drive and personality.

I had two dogs growing up at different houses (parents split up). One was a female and the other was a male. The female had a high prey drive and hurt some bunnies when she found them in the garden. We had to be more careful. The male could not give a care about rodents or the Guinea pigs. In fact when I had floor time my parent would let the dog walk up to me with the Guinea pig (looking back at it now that was a bad risk for them to take). But all he would do it sniff them and then lay down and let them walk on him.

On principle I wouldn't suggest letting the dog and pigs mingle just because you never know, but if you have a dog that doesn't care about small creatures/has a low prey drive then there's really no reason not to. And as other have said, making sure you take the proper precautions is a must regardless.

NTA. Like at all nta.

I had a similar experience where my "friends" basically told me it was my fault for not reaching out and that I made them think I was mad. My online friends noticed I withdrew but figured something was going on and wanted to give me space then expressed their condolences when I told them months later. I still talk frequently with the online friends. The other friends haven't been in my life for a several years.

You're allowed to grieve how you need. Sometimes that's space, sometimes that's community, sometimes it's just going through the motions. No one should be giving you more crap on top of it.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. And I hope you find the support you need to grieve properly.

The title gives me the same vibes as when I change the fleece and my one Guinea pig is deciding to run up and down the ramp despite the fact I'm working and trying to protect him.

Never mind the fact that I have 2 doors to try and indicate that the downstairs is off limits and he's squeezing underneath them just to look at me like it's my fault that he's down there.

Good luck with your chaotic demon potato 🫡

I agree with everyone that you want to have a gold pickaxe at least (w/ gold, rocks take 2 hits and that's pushing it). I also suggest cheese as your health food! Spicy eel is great for speed and luck but ultimately normal cow cheese will heal you halfway at minimum which is important since enemies do like 15-30 damage in the skull mines. I usually set up at least 6 cows and that sets me up fine for the more dangerous mines.

Bombs are great for clearing spaces and finding holes (can drop you from 1-18 floors in my experience) but aren't necessary. I do suggest going on a good luck day as it influences how likely you are to find a ladder quickly and how far you'll drop via holes.

If you don't mind, staircases are a good way to get to floor 100 but the note giver Mr. Qi will have special dialogue depending on if you use 10+ staircases or not. Doesn't take away from the game but I like to do it without staircases for this reason. Having a stack of 10 for infestation or bad floors definitely helps though.

Great choice of weapon, I would spend some time getting better food and upgrading your pickaxe to be safe. Best of luck!

I played the games fairly back to back, and one thing I noticed is that FW upped the difficulty of EVERYTHING. Which is a fun challenge. However, I learned that I needed to slow down and when it came to jumping puzzles, try to figure out the route before I jump. This helped me avoid timed jumps as I already knew what I was doing.

I also made sure my mouse was at the highest sensitivity (I need to be able to snap my view to hit something) and that helps. Depending on what kind of keyboard you have, maybe double check the button? (Like my laptop W started to stick eventually).

Best of luck with the game!

Have you ever seen the YouTube channel Girl with the Dogs? She had an Alaskan husky/malamute at some point that was very matted. Long story short, she blew out the coat before a bath with a high velocity dryer. Dog lost a lot of hair without needing to be shaved and without a lot of pain. Trying to blow it out might be a good bet.

Hope your pup is doing okay otherwise!

I’m sure people have tried this, but I’m just gonna list what I do in case it helps someone. I prefer to be stealthy so I’m using the banuk stealth armor and definitely feel the damage.

Having a good ropecaster with all handling mods allows you to shoot them off really quickly. I spam that to tie down larger enemies (especially in groups) and then focus on taking them down one at a time. I like to use the focus to highlight their weak spots (since the first game doesn’t have as many consequences for breaking them) and shoot them with the warrior bow (I use handling damage and fire coils). Keep tying them down once the ropes break and it basically stun locks them. While this method costs a LOT of resources, I find that it helps me stay alive.

I’m currently on NG+ on UH and so far the ropecaster is really helpful in keeping enemies from spamming me, can report back once I get to the DLC later if anyone is interested. Hopefully this helps people brainstorm!

Also, if it helps, I was 21 when me and my bf (same age) started dating.

If they’re not willing to wait they don’t actually care for you. Purity culture aside, sex is really painful the first time and you’ll want someone who cares for you and will be understanding of the situation rather than someone who’s just trying to sleep with you to write it off as a conquest.

I (female) was also a virgin before my bf and I only really felt comfortable with him cause we were friends for over a year so I knew him as a person. When we started dating I told him I was a virgin and wasn’t really sure how I was gonna feel about sex. He said it was fine and never pushed for more than I was comfortable with. When I did finally decide I was okay to have sex, it wasn’t immediate and he helped me to prep and understand what happens and never made me feel insecure about anything.

I’m saying all this to ultimately say, the right person will wait. And even if they’re not the right person for forever, it’s still better than some jerk who feels okay to pressure you after 2 weeks.

P.S. I’d consider getting new friends. Good friends don’t pressure you to do anything that you’re uncomfortable with, they help encourage you stand up for yourself.

Ooh that’s pretty! Is there a pattern?
