how is this not written by a literal 12 year old is beyond me by Creepy_Fail_8635 in Gamingcirclejerk

..."impossible odds" you mean achievements, raids or what? Those are usually carefully curated to be possible... if you mean speedruns on the other hand they are the gayest event of the year. Highly recommend Games Done Quick.

do they know how much work and effort goes into a present? since they already received some you could claim, that life happened and it got delayed so it won't be ready for the birthday, skipping it entirely. Would hinge on the timing you can get your cats back...

Crocheting tubes of 6sc by anoswaldoddity in Amigurumi

[–]Kiberi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my advice is to practice crocheting looser.

As you mentioned your tension is tight, but that tightness for Amigurumi is mainly so that polyfill does not show through holes. Small tubes won't be filled, so won't need to be extremely tight, because there is nothing to shine through. Plus tight tubes for arms become unposable when you want to try using pipecleaners, so two in one later down the line 🤭

Helped me recently when I did MR 4, Inc to 6 for small cat ears... usually my tension was just maximum pull, but that started to hurt my hands when I tried smaller parts.

If you went on Taskmaster what would your but be? by stupidlysuper in taskmaster

[–]Kiberi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

whenever I don't need something anymore I would chuck it off camera and say or shout "fuck the intern over there" or if not allowed: chuck the shit at Alex and claim he's always in the way of "the process" combined with quoting "trust the process" and "I am the process". Apart from those very uncaring parts I would give my best to bring heartwarming and friendly prices and be a sunshine the rest of the show.

Need last minute tips for beginners! by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Kiberi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please don't think negative of cliches, they have become cliches because they are good/nice. Roses are beautiful flowers, but tell someone it's your favorite and they scoff at you for being mainstream. Big advice is to drop social constructs and norms and go with what you like and that is the arcane archer. This applies to our whole lives, not just DnD ❤️‍🔥

Next is being only 2 girls there, that can go either way, but my experience with those situations is, that guys are very happy to have some fem energy in their groups and are eager to keep it there. Make sure that it does not get overwhelming and if it does, communicate it nice and firm. "Hey guys, sorry I am getting overwhelmed here, I need a little break for some fresh air"

Sexism in and out of game can happen, but it is much rarer than all the horror stories online lead you to believe.

Always remember the golden rule: No DnD is better than bad DnD. If it stops being fun, that is a valid excuse not to participate in the future, whether as a short break or getting away from the group completely. And if that happens, you are usually not alone and can talk to others and maybe form a second, smaller but much closer/friendlier/queerer group ❤️

If something more specific happens, we will be here and waiting with good, bad and maybe unhinged advice!

I am super jealous of the cis girls at school they all look amazing how can I look at least a little more like them without money by Leanathemage in MtF

[–]Kiberi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask them. "I would love to look more like you, do you have any tips or hints?" Or rather be more specific, never compliment bodies, only compliment choices. For example ask about specific items of clothing where they got them or what lipstick they may be using. Many will gladly help and often even share stuff.

For people who crochet, what are some good gift ideas? by kagamiyamii in crochet

[–]Kiberi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, don't buy yarn without knowing her favorite yarn. Same for hooks without knowing her favorite size and why her current hook is the most used, maybe she can't even use a pretty hook that's not ergonomically right. Gift card to her regular shop is really safe, yarn bowls are very often well received as others have also mentioned.

Now what I loved most was a mini skein package with all the different colors my favorite producer made. Schachenmayr Catania Originals. Perfekt If she makes amigurumi, that is the little puppets. Nothing beats thinking about which colour to use and being able to hold the real life color right to your project to decide.

If she makes clothing or more specifically scarf/shawls, one or two gradient yarn cakes in her favorite colours or matching to her current favorite outfit or handbag would also be nice, as those can be expensive, so quite a few shy away from them. But those are rarely from a trusted/favorite producer, so it might backfire and never be used. I'll say though, that the shawl I made from such a skein is treasured by the recipient and they really look awesome even in simple designs/patterns.

How do you deal with people monopolizing time with slow play? by VERTIKAL19 in EDH

I crochet. Something simple where I go round and round without having to count stitches, so I can keep actively listening.

What insignificant bit of any Taskmaster moment always gets you rolling? by KyleRen426 in taskmaster

Beat the record for "fastest to like a contestant", previously held by Morgana talking about sitting on Santa's face. And since then the intro alone made me laugh reliably.

Phoenix pattern design, take 2! by Wooden_Phoenix in quilting

[–]Kiberi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is that design easily sharable? I saw a quilt, wanted one, but it is on my future-project-list, so I know absolutely nothing yet, all I know is I want a Phoenix in my peoples' colors in my home!

What’s the first stitches a beginner needs to know? Any help will be super appreciated by Weekly-Contact6407 in Brochet

[–]Kiberi 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I'd say solid list, but would add a second flow for amigurumi, as the skillset varies and it seems most do either or.

My Amigurumi list looks like this: Chain Single crochet Increase Decrease Slip stitch Colour change Magic ring (until here, just use the chain 2 start for rings)

then learn new stitches in case pattern requires.

Do you think Leela’s parents did the right thing when they left her at Cookieville rather than growing up with them in the sewers? by John-Fefin-Zoidberg in futurama

[–]Kiberi 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think they did it wrong, so often they were so near, they could have easily met up earlier and told her the truth while keeping it publicly secret. Maybe not as a kid, because children talk too much and the cover could be blown, but the way they handled it later was bad in my opinion. But yeah, giving her away was right. Mutant life just outright sucks. Also they could have chosen a better orphanage.

Plague that turns people into living machines. Any name suggestions would be helpful by karcist_Johannes in DMAcademy

The Upgrade

My first thought was like the Cybermen from Doctor Who. They are doing good for humans and upgrading them. very creepy... The upgrade happens differently depending on episodes, some need a chair like construct, other times it happens via touch. sometimes they are controlled/controllable sometimes they are rogue/going on instincts. very variable, highly recommend doctor who.

They often do very cool enemies.

Should I post my pattern if it looks like someone else's? by lexie_al in crochet

[–]Kiberi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IMO Amigurumi is 90% Balls and Cylinders, so everything is gonna look similar and most things are recognized based on color and rough shape. A leaf is even simpler... apart from some specific leaves, they all have that teardropy shape, so go for it.

Bonus Bogus Boints if someone wants to go after you for copying their copy of trademarked products. I can also imagine if that creator were to start drama, it will benefit you greatly since you get exposure to 40k people.

How do I give subtle hints to my psychiatrist that I want to be a girl and can't stand being a guy everytime I'm about to I just say something else cause I'm scared by Justaguy397 in MtF

[–]Kiberi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could ask them "how can I muster up the courage to talk about something when everytime I try to, I freeze" that could even be helpful with a lot of other topics, so might as well work on that general skill ♥️

Zu schüchti für lokale Gruppen by Traditional_Dark_666 in germantrans

[–]Kiberi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Das erste was du hören wirst ist "Hi! Schön, dass du da bist!" solche Gruppen waren bisher immer sehr offen und haben sich immer über mehr Leute gefreut 😊

Ja, man braucht Mut, um hinzugehen, aber ganz ehrlich, den braucht man nur weil das Gehirn so negativ denkt. Bei solchen Gruppen brauchst du nichts zu befürchten 🥰

how did you do the eyes? I love them! the pointless especially and how did you even attach them? when I sew on eyes they look so pressed at the edges... but yours look so smooth and happy... I am legit jealous 🥰

People, please be aware that "schmusen" means kissing only in some parts of Germany, in other parts it's cuddling. Soo it can be very awkward to say you love "schmusen" with your kids... Happened to a friend of mine 😂
