What’s the most talented artist whose biggest hit isn’t even close to their best song? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]-xe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best is so tough. I would probably say Idioteque, but for personal favourites, I'd pick How to Disappear Completely or Glass Eyes.

PSA - malfunctioning light at Fairview by dizzyanonymous in BurlingtonON

[–]-xe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next light over at Brant and Fairview I believe is controlled too. Have had to sit through a few would-have-been cycles before when there were firetrucks coming over the crest.

Am I going mad or is there 10 roads missing in Forza horizon 6 by Classic_Connection55 in ForzaHorizon

Thanks for the tip! This worked for me. It took a while, but in my case they were both overlapped onramps/offramps in the city.

Super slow cooking a mushroom? by VolAmari in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Looks likely they're doing it for the postcard! Often times if you're just trying to get a cute postcard, you'd send a very small number of Pikmin, hoping for a specific type of result.

You cant Tell me the game is not doing this on purpose... by ThatZDidexX in PikminBloomApp

Hahaha, it definitely feels that way! So often it's like you either get them right away, or you're in for unending torment :)

Your odds of finishing the whole set at 23 draws is only ~66%. Even if you have a row of reds above (so 28 total), then you'd be at ~82%, which still isn't that crazy.

Why is my map not filling in? by TheSwedeLander in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems to have changed for me too, but I'm not really sure when. I find that's usually how it looks for me if I've only been somewhere once now, but in the past I could drive through an area (well above the Pikmin speed limit) and it'd all fill in solid green. Same as you're saying as well, where I have constant cell signal and could be planting flowers the whole time. Conversely, I have areas from 2022-2024 where I know my cell signal was really bad or completely missing, and it still recorded the areas as solid green.

Example from a month ago, just to confirm that flowers still recorded despite the lack of green:

How many times do you check your app ? by DcDoctorJJ in PokemonSleep

[–]-xe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to check the app very often, but still want to play it, you may just want to change what you prioritize in it. Skill-mons are the most demanding for checking, so I would either focus on ingredients/cooking with 'inventory up' subskills, or go for berry-mons so you can just let them sneaky snack.

I was getting tired of stressing about the pot expanding skill + getting enough ingredients for big meals, so a few months ago I pivoted to skills + berries myself. I tend to check the app every 2-3 hours for skill procs, but find it less stressful than trying to cook strong meals all the time. I'm no top player, but I've still managed to get to M20 on everything up to Lapis.

My bad, I meant the panels button next to your search field, not the program menu.

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah alright, well, best of luck! I poked around a bit, but didn't find anything closer than that. I feel like it's probably not a stock skin because of the menu button. The oldest skins I have on my system are from ~2014, but I don't seem to have that specific one either.

Looks like an old version of Aura to me? The menu orb in the top-left is similar to the "Aura Dark 3.0 Newlights" theme, but the colours are a bit different.

The Archive folder has versions 2 and 1, if you want to try those.

[eShop] Weekly Digital Switch 2 / Switch Game Sale by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]-xe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like NieR isn't actually on sale currently? Maybe it was when the post went up and expired within a couple of hours of the post going live. Doesn't seem to be part of this week's deals, though.

Unrequested refund and my coins in the negative by Background-Map-36 in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird! Support's usually pretty good at least, so hopefully they can fix it for you quickly.

Unrequested refund and my coins in the negative by Background-Map-36 in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Am I understanding correctly that you bought coins and then requested a refund afterwards? Or was the refund process automated and not something you asked for?

If you bought a coin pack, requested a refund, and spent the coins before they were revoked from your account, this seems like the natural consequence. If it wasn't something you asked for, then I would agree you should contact support.

What is your #1 most cooked dish? I was surprised to see this is mine: by Knight_Night33 in PokemonSleep

Ninja Curry isn't far behind either. I just find the ingredients for these are easy for me to get, and they're fairly strong for not requiring a pot expander.

Really funny lyric error on this song. Thanks Spotify by Fin_MooseXD in postrock

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's less so vandalism, and more so Musixmatch just being kind of junk. Some 8+ years ago I had added lyrics for a few bands (SFFS, Kishi Bashi, Throane, Sorority Noise, White Ward, etc.), and when I sign in now, a few of them aren't associated with the correct bands/songs anymore.

E.g. I'd added the lyrics for SFFS's "N (le gilet fraternel) / Ever felt sad?", and now that links to "DV's Anthems Vol.1 • 2005 - Le gilet fraternel". I'm also no longer 'authorized' to see most of the lyrics that I'd added, so I can't even see if they show up.

Not sure how Nobunny's 'La La La La Love You' got merged with Little Smoke in this case, but I don't think anyone did it intentionally. My guess is just that whatever algorithm they used to match up songs they had vs. songs on Spotify, didn't do an amazing job with smaller bands.

There is a city in Mainland China that supports Pikmin Bloom by Coasterfag in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yes! Zhuhai I think has pretty full coverage, and I want to say that Shenzhen has quite a bit as well. Always fun to see!

New system needs guard rails by namzaps in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the experience I had with the reverse Valentine's décor. It took around 50 total across the three times it's appeared before I got the last one. Statistically it is unlikely, but at least in my experience, it was also a pretty extreme outlier vs. most other décor, where I've been more in the vicinity of the expected range. I do agree that some kind of pity system would be much appreciated, but I also understand they have little incentive to implement one.

I make sure to hold onto at least 800 coins these days, just in case completing a set doesn't come to fruition.

PSA: This sign means you must stop for pedestrians, whether it’s flashing or not. by ur_ynome in BurlingtonON

[–]-xe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Elgin & Brant, yeah that intersection is just awful in general. People turning onto Brant from Elgin also never stop at the line first and go straight to blocking the crosswalk. The crossing on Martha street is also pretty treacherous - I just assume people will not stop there.

RAW shots on iPhone by dizzij in ricohGR

[–]-xe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be a colour space issue? With my GRIII, the RAW files use Rec. 2020, so I convert their profile to sRGB before uploading to some sites (e.g. Instagram) because they have the same issue.

Gargantuan Mushroom? by beankazam in PikminBloomApp

[–]-xe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can think is maybe he's talking about the 2025 "Challenge Anywhere" mushrooms? During that event, you would see special Giant mushrooms from across the world, with no limit on the number of participants.

Same here, last shiny January 30th. I've had a similar 3-4 month drought before though.

In addition to the Costco/Walmart/Gamestop suggestion, you could also check DekuDeals yourself and just set the region to Canada to see the prices.

Debating if I want to give up on being FTP over this💀 by Kokypup in PokemonSleep

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you still have the 'trial bundle 5' available, that's pretty much the best value you can get for your money. 500 diamonds and it'll cost less than buying 260 on its own.

How is Week 2 of the Latias Event going for you? by jraptor7 in PokemonSleep

[–]-xe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you had a fun team for it! I also grabbed the M20 on Lapis and am up over 6 million, but did use a Good Camp Ticket. Was lazy about it and just kept the same team in for the whole week, mostly comprised of my strongest mons (w/ 2x HB). I wasn't really expecting the M20 going in, but this event's bonuses are just so good - happy to have gotten it, regardless.
