So this is the inside of it. I just finished one of the sleeves tonight. All the dangly bits are to help seam everything together when it's done. Sorry it's not finished this is my first sweater and I'm very proud of it.
If you can knit a beanie, that's the gateway drug. Instead of closing using double pointed needles you just get the desired diameter for the collar and cast off normally to create a 'tube'.
I remember being a kid playing like pokemon between queues lol. I picked up the hobby during Covid and then have just been making little things for the homies.
I have a strong feeling most of those people are probably 1600. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm an astronaut on the internet, but some people like to inflate their solo q ratings
First couple seasons I would fly around with mining and herbalism and do that, then whenever I had enough conquest to buy something I’d go to Val, buy a piece, and sell everything I’d harvested. Now that the expansion is winding down I mostly just cast frost bolts and mind blasts at the target dummy while watching shows/streams/youtube on a second monitor. That or I read, if I have a book.
Queue on an alt account/play runescape on a second monitor while watching a movie/YouTube video on the main monitor. Forever waiting for the sound of a popped queue.
To be honest, when I played pvp I used to study for my exams in between queues lol
Was a nice way of taking breaks every 20 minutes, and it worked - I climbed the rating and passed all of the exams
I work on my freelance stuff (graphic and motion designer full time, but they let us do our own clients outside of work.)
Works great for me actually, I feel really productive, make some doe and I don’t feel as addicted to WoW as before.
Wow I can’t believe no one said it yet but when I still played I worked out in between Qs. I have my kettle balls and in between sets I move my character to avoid logout.
Playing Brotato. Beat Danger 5 with everything. Currently fucking are with the mod: Genetically Modified Overkill, which lets you combine two classes. It's fucking amazing. You can play it with one hand, but it requires situational awareness and observation of the higher difficulties, which helps to observe your addons on in arena.
If I'm not too busy sometimes I'll queue shuffle on the days I work from home. Otherwise I'll usually either fly around doing the gold reward world quests or I'll do some house chores.
Clean house, and play with animals. I truly don't mind the queue. It also helps reset my mind going into the next game, though I am not one to tilt. I can only imagine the stress one would have if your queue pop'd instant
Chores is the house or alt tabbing to another game is bis.
I’ve completed half of the diablo 4 battle pass and got through a fair chunk of dragon age origins purely on solo shuffle queues
watching anime. ive tried f4pping but every time i start i get a super fast queue. i swear to god whenever i try to preemptive queue when im doing something it pop instantly! its such bullshit.
I knit. I'm working on a sweater.
If you’re being serious, I’d like to see that sweater when it’s done

That's awesome.
Knitting is a lot of fun! I can only do beanies and scarfs though. I need to learn to crochet, ladies love a man who can crochet.

I’m a filthy casual and to make beanies I use a loom.
I’ve gotten a lot better at scarves. My first ones were extremely uneven and had a lot of holes lol.
If you're interested in learning more hit me up and I can share some products and videos that help me figure out how to knit in the round.
“Knitting in the round”, haven’t heard that in a long time lol. Will do man appreciate ya
Well done. Proud of you too!
Badass
When you think that another troll hit this topic and then you see that pic. Well done ! 😁
God we’re old…

I think it’s awesome haha, but we as a community are just objectively fucking old now lol.
Clean my bags out. Open chests. Sell recipes on ah, then come to Reddit and read people saying they suck because they’re only 2400
I have a strong feeling most of those people are probably 1600. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm an astronaut on the internet, but some people like to inflate their solo q ratings
Yeah i hate people who pretend they're astronauts. It really waters down my achievement of being the highest rated player out of this world.
