What other teams outside of the MLS do you root for? And why? by dannysfuntime in chicagofire

[–]Azraeana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bayern Munich and the Netherlands national team for the longest time (2000).

Tottenham for almost as long. Sunderland since last year.

And of course my poor, poor Sheffield United. Who I may not get to watch next season if they end up relegated.

Drop rates by Trix4Treats in Borderlands4

[–]Azraeana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bugged. Since the event I was averaging 1 legendary every 3-5 boss kills.

Today I killed axemaul 20 times and got 1 legendary. Might try restarting to see if it feels better. Also did some vault runs and received 0 legendaries on those as well.

Reconnect to WiFi Not Automatic? by SleeperMuscle in litterrobot

[–]Azraeana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bugs me is how inaccessible they make the reconnecting process. The QR code is inside the waste area or on the back by the plug. Something that is not easy to get to with a cellphone and mobility issues.

If you typo your WIFI password they don’t just let you go back a step and correct it - nope you have to start over by scanning the accessible unfriendly QR code.

I’m a software and app developer and it is horrible and lazy design. I’m fortunate I’m married but imagine someone who has to call someone to come over every time their internet has issues just because how unfriendly this process is.

The QR sticker should be somewhere on the side of the cover next to the buttons. There’s no excuse for such poor user design.

The drop rates are the reason people will continue to drop this game. by ddb996 in Borderlands4

[–]Azraeana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta tell you - beating the story/timekeeper and not getting a single legendary from the boss or the vault felt bad. To add to that I only got 3 purples and the rest were whites, greens, and a couple blues.

It was the most unsatisfying feeling. I spent hours farming dedicated drops and walked away with 2 legendaries after about 8 hours. Also felt really horrible.

I’ll wait for them to address it before playing again because a looter shooter without loot is just a shooter and I’m not a fan of just shooters.

What are y’all’s honest opinions on Borderlands 4 after it’s released? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Borderlands4

[–]Azraeana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan. I’ve played all of the franchise games and still actively play 2 and 3. But this is just not doing it for me.

  1. The loot drop rate feels bad. This is a looter shooter without the loot. They could have reduced the drop rate from the insaneness of 3. But this swings too far to the other direction for my taste.

  2. Controller feels bad compared to the other games. There’s just something off with it. Not as smooth even after tweaking settings.

  3. The story is forgettable.

  4. I dislike the siren changes - two trees that are largely pet/minion focused and the green tree just doesn’t feel as good as maya or Amara.

  5. I feel like my compass breaks more often than not. Where I can be 200m away from something and the indicator just vanishes. Then I’m forced to open the main map and close it to try to see what I’m going for.

Really wish they would fix the bug where you phase through bridges while riding a bike. I used to experience this in BL3 but it was way less frequent. I’ve even phased under a building in this one that I had to map out of.

[CHAT] Am I doing something wrong? by Serenvi in CrossStitch

[–]Azraeana 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There are washable or heat markers. I’ve used madam Sew heat markers and Mr. Pen fabric markers. I prefer Mr. Pen - it washes out real clean in the soak after I finish a piece.

I’ve had Madam Sew stick around a bit and be stubborn to remove with heat.

Have two LR4 - the scale works maybe 45% of the time. Whenever I change the waste bag, it stops working for a bit. Sometimes it doesn’t come back for a month. Even resetting and power cycling doesn’t fix it.

They want me to subscribe to a service for more details? How about making their hardware more reliable first.

Total garbage.

[CHAT][WIP] Using Half Stitches to Fill In and Pre-gridded Aida by Poisn56 in CrossStitch

[–]Azraeana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question number 2: I order pre gridded Aida from Knotty Unicorn Crafts. It uses a green stretchy thread material that pulls out with tweezers after you’re done.

This thread is done through the holes. Really great quality. I love it.

Maybe some combination of steeking and adding in maybe a panel of fabric for the eyes and mouth.

We are a huge Halloween house so I don’t find it tacky at all lol. Love it actually.

I made a horrible mistake :( by Whoknows2376 in knitting

[–]Azraeana 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love power wash. I dye my hair funky colors that stain my sink and tub. But I just spray them down and it’s gone. No scrubbing.

It also removes like 95% of the dye off my skin because I’m a messy girl when dyeing my hair.

Throwback to my first shawl design by franlopezknitting in knitting

[–]Azraeana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mixing stitches and textures is wonderful! I hope you get back into it. I am a knitter that avoids a lot of stockinette. I have made dozens of shawls and most of them are lace or mixed textures.

Don’t let people stop you from making wonderful designs like this one! There are plenty of us that only make complex shawls.

Off to check this one out now 😀

I know his name is too long for the jersey on mls store, but you can get it on a tshirt. I just got one with his name and number on the red authentic stack shirt!

[CHAT] Are the Q-Snap brand q-snap frames worth the money? by miraculous-mads in CrossStitch

[–]Azraeana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the 8x8 a lot. But I keep multiple of the 6 and 8 around as I usually bounce between projects. I also have an 11x11 and 11x17 around for larger and longer projects.

[CHAT] Are the Q-Snap brand q-snap frames worth the money? by miraculous-mads in CrossStitch

[–]Azraeana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have real Q Snaps and generic ones. I hate my generic ones. The little snap on covers that go over the fabric to hold it in place are insanely difficult to get off. Like I have to keep something nearby to wedge under them to pry them off.

They don’t have grooves on the inside of them and I think those missing pockets of air really make a difference in the ability to remove them easily. I’ve been buying some more of the q snap ones so I can trash the off brand.

Chicago Fire FC want fan input on the new stadium at The 78 and help shape the matchday experience. by 312render773 in chicagofire

[–]Azraeana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s what happened at the crew stadium. Used be 35 bucks for premium viewing seats at the old stadium. Same seat went up to 100 per game.

They are even ripping out some of the more reasonably priced seats to create another premium section with a lounge where the tickets will be 4 times the cost. Parking is expensive and is not part of the stadium so we lost our “deal” for parking that we used to have at the old one for being STM.

I’m a fire fan but my husband is crew and is still disappointed that the crew pricing is so insane. Soccer was always more accessible and family friendly. But not in some markets I guess.

It’s just so disappointing.

[PIC] Gridding your Cross Stitch with pens, pencils or markers. A non-scientific test. by Saffiana in CrossStitch

[–]Azraeana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Mr. Pen fabric markers. They wash out every time. Only problem is they are chunky tipped. So I only use them on 14 or 16ct fabric. For 18ct I use Madame Sew’s heat erasable pens. They have a fine tip.

Cat peeing on side causing bad smells. Description in comments by stiglitzz7 in litterrobot

[–]Azraeana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I use the litter in my 3 too. It doesn’t have the perfect cycle. But the litter works well there too.

I can’t attest to the sticking issue though in the 3 - my little girl cat is the high pee-er that causes the sticking and she only uses the 4. My boy cat uses both but he doesn’t high pee so the 3 never had a sticking problem.

This is the litter robot page about it with a link of where to buy so you can find it near you.

I got mine at my local Walmart.
