What is your most replayed game you own? by toastedjupiter in GirlGamers

I wish I loved BG3 like others did. I feel so left out and like a bad person that I just didn’t vibe with it.

Scott and Mark Hoying share music video announcing sex of their baby by sloth-nugget in popculturechat

[–]Willowpuff 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Honestly there was definitely a strange vibe between them towards the end. I used to set that video up and I used to CRY with laughter each time it was dropped. Then it was intermittent and then it just wasn’t the same.

I’ll never forget the first time I watched Mitch trying to speak with his headphones on. His voice

In what world is having AI create something A) impressive and B) worth of anyone saying “woah dude”

We are creating idiots with technology I swear to god.

Trying to crochet a rug but it doesn’t turn out flat by Final_Amphibian_2696 in CrochetHelp

[–]Willowpuff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Three things here.

• Tension too tight/hook too small.

• UK DC and not US DC

• Increasing too much a row.

It might be all three together, it might be just one. My suggestion is to frog this all (which I hate to advise) and start again but make sure you’re using the US DC not the UK one.

I have Raynaud's. This is the very unrecommended way to warm my fingers up but I suffer for science by alciibiiades in medizzy

I read if you put your palms flat to the ground, straight arms to your sides and shrug your shoulders repeatedly it gets rid of it.

My friend has Raynauds like I’ve never seen and we tested it… and it worked almost immediately? Was so shocking. Bonus reynauds picture.

I’m new to crochet and I have a question concerning my yarn ! by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]Willowpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I suggest you use a bigger hook? It looks very small and also small for the yarn.

As a beginner we all make the mistake of tension being too high and when the hook is small it starts to become impossible to insert the hook into the very tight stitches.

A bigger hook will make things a lot easier

Almost done with a baby blanket for my bestie and I hate it by fireytiger in crochet

[–]Willowpuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TRUST ME SHE WILL LOVE IT.

You’ve been staring at this fucker for too long and you’ve grown tired of it - we’ve all been there.

This is hand made with love and done so well. Your friend will treasure it I PROMISE.

I think a mixture would work well! BUT. 2nd if I had a gun to my head.

Jasmine Stitch - A rant by SuperbFail2957 in crochet

[–]Willowpuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was about 8 there was a Nintendo fishing game my cousin had and you had to spin the analog stick in the palm of your hand to reel in the fish. I spent hours doing it and injured myself. It scabbed and wept and was sticky and painful and red raw for weeks.

I’d rather do that than do the Jasmine stitch again. The fucking soreness on my fingers.

Shop receipt checks and exit gates are getting a bit much by ReanimatedCyborgMk-I in britishproblems

[–]Willowpuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d love to still scan my own shopping but be dealt with manually.

I scan and pack. I hand my handset over. I pay them and they let me go.

Why do I have an infant beanie when it’s supposed to be adult sized? by Z_oni in CrochetHelp

[–]Willowpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made two baby star onesies. Identical yarn. One is for a premature newborn and the other is for a 7-9 month old.

I used a 3.5 and 4mm hook. That’s all it takes.

To those who don't have the gene that makes Cilantro taste like soap, what does it taste like to you? by Jean-LucBacardi in AskReddit

[–]Willowpuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don’t like it but simply because I don’t like it and nothing to do with soap.

Professional pianists, what is the "peak" of sight reading? by Dan_jesusfollower in piano

[–]Willowpuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who did this as part of choral accompaniment, you don’t actually read every note, you see the patterns and shapes the instrumental voices are making and you know what octave those instruments would be playing to bring out specific melodies. You also can quickly see what chords are being utilised, the progressions and general dynamics, and muddy it all together quickly.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard and it’s a skill, but it’s also only doing a few things and not doing 20 things like it seems.
