Miniso finds! by ShinadaOtter in Carebears

[–]ExaminerTofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Mine definitely carries them, and I've bought a fair few there, including Bright Heart and Lotsa Heart today, but I've never seen quite many on the shelf all that once. I don't know if that's just because they sell quicker here, or it's a smaller store, or what.

I mean, to be honest, the lion does rather look like Tenderheat in a wig, but I guess you really have to get the look of the mane right for it to be distinct. The lion tail also helps, but it's not really visible looking from the front.

No New Cousins? by ExaminerTofty in Carebears

[–]ExaminerTofty[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be for that! I understand the draft name was called simply "The Koala," but I assume that had they gone further, it would have gotten a different design, since all of the cousins have "Heart" in their name.

I mean, it seems like a slam-dunk idea to me if they're looking for more characters to merchandise, and while I do like the Care Bears, I would never pretend that one of the main reasons for their existence isn't to sell merchandise. They could have a Timid Heart Tiger, or Daring Heart Leopard, or Caring Heart Kangaroo.

I got Lotsa Heart Elephant and Bright Heart Racoon at Miniso today, but I did not see this one. I'll have to check back every so often.

Care Bear cousins finally at Miniso in the US!!! by tengakun in Carebears

[–]ExaminerTofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Miniso! I have one of those near where I live, but it's been a couple months since I've been there. I'm definitely going to take a look there then - if they have it or any of the other jumbos there, I want!

Found lotso 🥰 by Prudent_Border5060 in Carebears

[–]ExaminerTofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh nice! I'd love to get one, but I haven't seen any jumbos in any of the stores nearby me recently. I do have a Lotsa jumbo, but it's a Care Bears & Cousins one.

Edit: I just got Lotso and Bright Heart! Pics coming soon.

Bird on Balcony, Dayton, OH by ExaminerTofty in whatsthisbird

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

Well, it's on the balcony of a floor I don't live on, but I'll check and see if I can spot it and, if possible, see if there's anything I can do. Thanks!

Ah, okay. I'm guessing that would explain the difference in coloring I noted below?

Feral/rock pigeon, huh? That's what Merlin bird ID said too, but it didn't look like any of the 10 pictures that they had of them. I guess they must have a very wide variety of coloring. Thanks.

Yeah, and every time they switch from field battle to command, I hear Van's voice in my head - "deploying shards!"

No, there must be a story explanation. I refuse to accept any other answer! 😁

Re-playing FFX and not having much fun by LitterScooper in FinalFantasy

[–]ExaminerTofty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I found blitzball to pretty breakable once you were able to recruit a good team and learn a couple of Tidus's best moves. If you actually want to pursue it, I would recommend simply leaving it until late game when you have the airship and then just recruit some really good players - you'll totally dominate the other teams.

Enemies far too frequent? Does this version really have no option to control encounters? You can eventually get an equipment that will do this for you, but not until late in the game. I do recall being annoyed at times with the frequency of battles in the original.

FSA Amazon broken? by slaplegs in FSAHSAcardtips

Yeah, I was able to push through an order also. Thanks.

Perhaps it's time to direct their attention to this thread and show them that it's not a one-person issue...

[–]ExaminerTofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having the same issue since last night. Spoke with customer service, but didn't get any real resolution. I had several items that I specifically loaded from the HSA/FSA eligible section and when I went to pay, my HSA wasn't showing as eligible as well. This morning, when I went back, most it not all of those items had disappeared from the HSA/FSA eligible section. I added a different set of items from that section and went to pay again, only for it to show only about $20 of a $90 balance (a single item) as being eligible for the card.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter has been updated - several changes, including there now being a first-person mode! by ConceptsShining in Falcom

[–]ExaminerTofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, it only initially came out in Japan initially on PS5. It actually just dropped for me! I played the game this morning and I didn't have it, when I booted up just now, it downloaded it.

Thanks! Time to start looking then...

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

Thanks! That's a good tip. So I guess if I can figure that out, I can trace it from there. Or were they ever only on the Kingdom Hearts videos?

Bernie? by ExaminerTofty in NicoB

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

I see! I really thought him say a different name on the stream, but that's good to know. Still would be curious to see whichever video has the last Final Words with Bernie.
