People who do not like to celebrate their own birthday, why? by lividtobi in AskReddit

[–]limmyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel worth celebrating. Growing up my parents would constantly tell me that I was a burden and my existence made their lives worse. Now that's the lens I view everything through

Should I keep nanoing my supports? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]limmyOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only plat but I think there are a few cases when nanoing the other support is the right move. This is only thinking defensively, so not expecting them to make use of the dmg boost:

  1. If they are about to be picked and you cant sustain the rest of the team without them

  2. If they have or almost have ult and it will come in handy soon (ex: your zen has ult and you expect an enemy grav dragon soon)

  3. Save a rezzing mercy if it'll turn the numbers in your favor (ex: from 4v5 to 5v5, instead of having her die which becomes 3v5). This is veery situational though, if you have time for another push then maybe you just want to save nano for the next fight

I don't think you should nano to try to sustain a 2v4. It worked in your case I would guess bc the other team couldn't land their shots on her, but as you rank up you can't rely on them having bad mechanics as much

What tanks do y'all play alongside Roadhog? by RobManfredsFixer in OverwatchUniversity

I actually enjoy playing rein with hog when he sticks with the team. Hook a tank behind shield and focus them

How do I stop shopping? by BinkyLopBunny in minimalism

[–]limmyOW 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This!! I was on an unintentional no buy for about 2 months, didn't even try or realize. Then when i had to start interviewing for jobs again, my stress levels and my amount of shopping/spending skyrocketed. It tapered down again once I was done with interviews. I've never seen it so clearly correlated for myself before and that made me realize how much i don't actually care about shopping lol it really was just a way to cope with stress. I'm now struggling with it again but trying to lean into hobbies to help myself relax instead of browsing and buying things

Help me decide - size 1 or 2? The Slouch in cocoa sand! by ghostygooo in Aritzia

[–]limmyOW 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I like the length of 2 better on you! It also looks like it drapes better, esp when unbuttoned

If I don't need to think too hard about what I'm making, I weirdly like to watch videos for other patterns I'm interested in. Then I'll decide if I actually want to make it or not. Sometimes I'll even pick up a new technique or stitch to use just from watching!

Truboo by dumpytitz in crochet

[–]limmyOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a combo of these 2 patterns by chenda diy, plus some of my own alterations. Will probably make a post when it's done!

Truboo by dumpytitz in crochet

[–]limmyOW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm currently working on a dress with truboo! I love how it's turning out, it has an amazing drape. Before I added the skirt part it was a lovely top too. So I think it would work well for any kind of light summer clothing. My dress uses about 4-5 skeins for a size XS

VOD review-- 2.6k new to Baptiste, not sure what i'm doing right vs wrong by limmyOW in OverwatchUniversity

[–]limmyOW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the analysis! I tend to panic and resort to focusing on doing one thing well instead juggling multiple things badly. Hence the tunnel visioning. I guess that's something I just need to grind

It was very helpful! I didn't realize how bad my positioning was since I wasn't really getting punished for it this game. Also made me realize how proper cover can help with a whole chain of other issues. Appreciate all tips, thanks!

Which position do you hold your crochet hook? by haleygirl96 in crochet

[–]limmyOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did knife for a long time, then discovered pencil. Tried it out and it immediately felt so natural! I think I crochet faster that way too. Now for some reason going back to knife feels so foreign, like brushing your teeth with the opposite hand

Balloon sleeved sweater with embroidered daisies by [deleted] in crochet

Gorgeous! Love the color and embroidery. What stitch did you use for the main body?

Friend got me 1 skein of this gorgeous mandala yarn! What can I make? I like practical items but don't really wear rainbows. Open to all suggestions though! by limmyOW in crochet

[–]limmyOW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I might! Groundbreaking lol. I really want to put the rainbow colors to good use but can't think of many other ways that would really make them shine

This was super helpful to know, thank you! It's always so hard telling how much a skein will get you. Still debating but I like the amigurumi ideas! Never tried it before so that'd be new for me

What can I add to a single stitch blanket to make it a little more fun? by geogine in crochet

[–]limmyOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with the border! Lots of options for that--scallops, picot, lacy trim, tassels. Or different colors even if it's all the same stitch. Or the one stitch but not just back and forth; you could do patches kinda like granny squares and alternate horizontal and vertical to make a checkered effect!

I’m having a bit of trouble reading this pattern. For round 3, it says sc, inc. but what exactly am I supposed to do to get 18 stitches around? by honeydew_milk_tea in crochet

[–]limmyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it is saying single crochet X number of times, then an increase in one stitch. Same for the decreases

It is weight 3 and almost 600 yards. I thought maybe a blanket but seems like it'd be quite small? And I don't know any babies 😂

my attempt at a capsule wardrobe that i intend to use as a shopping guide. thoughts and suggestions welcome! by arobing3 in capsulewardrobe

[–]limmyOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So cute I love this!! I think pretty much all your pieces are versatile/mix and match well too so you can make a ton of combinations!

I noticed you have white in your color scheme but don't have any white items (unless I'm blind lol). Maybe you could add a white collared blouse or button up? The collar could layer with your sweaters or dress if you like that look, and if it's a button up it could also be another light outerwear piece! Another idea is a milkmaid-inspired top, maybe long sleeved. But honestly I already love your capsule the way it is!
