#test patch

[twistedmaiden]

My first attempt at a satin stitch on Aida cloth.

I’m gonna try and make patches for my jacket. But I think next time I need to use a hoop cause it’s a little squished…

I’m not yet sure how to border it tho.

[suicidehair]

let's play a game called:

do a damn test patch before fully dying your hair.

you can think of the minuscule odds that you'll have a bad reaction, or just be lazy, but shut your face cause it's an easy way to check how the whole dye will look at the end anyway.

Need to get up and go into town to get a test patch done before tomorrow. But bed is comfy. Look good or stay warm. It's hardly a contest. Stay warm. Always stay warm.

Dota 2 Test Patch - 2014 March 12

• Ranked matches will now show all calibrated player MMRs on the scoreboard at the end of a game that completes normally. • Warning prompts in client and system messages from the gameserver concerning leaving a match have been improved to be more clear and specific to the current situation. • Added an experimental method to determine when multiple players in a region are experiencing poor network connectivity. When this is detected, players in the affected matches will be notified that the match will not be scored, and it is safe to leave. • Added a cooldown to re-enter matchmaking if you fail to load or leave a game while waiting for other players to load. • The cooldown time to rejoin matchmaking after failing to ready up, declining, failing to load into the match, or leaving the match while waiting for others players to load will now escalate upon repeated failures. • Added Ukrainian language text localization. • Replays for games hosted in other regions (including China) are now faster to download
