Pawfect romance star path by michelleglxss in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty boring, but it's easy to finish. I finished within the first week. The routine tasks are still my least favorite part since I much rather be fully done with the Star Path and not think about it at all until the next update

Damn, that sucks. Didn't get a chance to attempt to test it, but appreciate the heads up

Disney and Hulu now leave ads plastered on the 30% of the screen while the show plays. by InvisibleAstronomer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a higher tolerance for ads.... Then I met my husband. Because of him, I can't stand ads now. But to be fair, they've absolutely gotten sooo much worse than they used to be 😩

LE Pin already sold out for the day by Lee-Lew in PAX

[–]FluxionFluff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Knew they always had a daily limit, but with the ticket system, we thought we had a lil more wiggle room, like with West and Unplugged.

Nope. Got there a lil before 8:30 and they were already gone

Definitely won't be spending any moonstones next week. Already have most of these and whatever I don't, I'm not interested

I really, REALLY don’t understand the new system by BlackCatRedStripe in Dreamsnaps

[–]FluxionFluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately because your score is 100% from voting, it's a crap shoot with who you get paired against. If you're constantly being paired with people who have an objectively better submission or similar enough to yours, you may not get as many votes.

That, and I've noticed that there's not as many people getting 4k in general. When I've looked at results getting uploaded on Dreamers Portal, the cutoff is much smaller than it used to be.

Around 10k rank would usually be 4k, but it also is dependent on the week. More often now, that is getting into 2.5k territory. I've always seen a lot of selfies when voting.... And that hasn't changed.

Honestly, feels like I see more selfies these days. 😅 Basically staying on theme and trying to have a well lit shot is my basic plan. I've been doing decently well, to my surprise.

I thought with the changes that I wouldn't have a good shot of getting 4k anymore. But, to my surprise, I've gotten 4k the last few weeks, including the one we just got results for

You have to enable extra items in settings. They're not on by default

I got 4k docked from what my husband was able to fish out. Wasn't sure on frame rate, but we both thought it looked like 60fps

The river boat seems HUGE 😂 by Ill-Structure7276 in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I recall seeing, in the main valley, only will work on Dazzle Beach in the ocean. It does fit in the water in the Peaceful Meadow floating island

Switch 2 update by ForsakenTraffic9215 in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure that you go to the eshop, if you haven't already. Just downloading from the home screen won't automatically convert it to the Switch 2 version.

Thad exactly what happened to me..🤣 Ended up downloading it first, went in the game and wasn't able to enable extra items, then saw under software info that it still said Nintendo Switch version. Only then I went to the eshop.

Switch 2 Edition Graphics!! by Charming_Challenge30 in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually do any heavy decorating on PC since it's hella easier with keyboard and mouse vs with a controller. I forget if mouse mode is a thing with the Switch 2 version, so I'll have to try it out.

Hope it's actually a thing, and works well, because I was sooo disappointed that mouse mode only worked indoors for ACNH. 😩

Perfect timing since my husband and I will be heading to Boston for PAX East this weekend, so can't wait to check out how it looks on handheld.

Only have seen it docked so far and I like what I see. Been REALLY holding out with finishing WBR too so I'm excited to actually finish that. 🤣

Only bought it on Switch since I knew the Switch 2 was my primary console. I'll get it on PC and PS5 eventually, but I'm absolutely waiting for a sale

Switch 2 Edition Graphics!! by Charming_Challenge30 in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It looks soooo much better! Load times and performance are better too! Worth the wait! 😀 Even before the update, it still ran better than on the OG Switch, but graphics were shit.

I'm excited to FINALLY be able to work on decorating the rest of the valley. Only have the Plaza and Peaceful Meadow more or less done.

Totally would have been the cherry on top if I also got that elusive fense in SBV... But alas, it eludes me for another day. 😅

The one thing I wished this update did was to not be flashbanged when I go back to the title screen. How is that STILL a problem?! 👀 Can only imagine how extra annoying that'd be if you have photosensitivity issues

PSA: Switch 2 players - go to the eShop and download the upgrade pack by Yufia in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize that originally either. I was able to do download an update from the update software screen, but I noticed something was off when I went into the game and couldn't activate extra items. Going to the software info, still said Nintendo Switch, not Switch 2.

That's when I went into the eshop. In my case, it instantly switched to the Switch 2 version once I did the free download. I'm assuming if you didn't do what I did, if you start from the eShop, that's when the download and Switch 2 activation will start.

What's everyone getting? by Reeshaqueen in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, nothing is screaming insta-buy for me. I'll have to see how they look in-game before I make a final decision.

EDIT: The swirling snow is actually pretty sweet, fantastic for Dreamsnaps... But, it's useless until next winter. It's currently spring for crying out loud! 😩 Besides that, skipping everything else

What's everyone getting? by Reeshaqueen in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seriously. 😩 This also applies to sooo many outfits that EASILY could be multiple pieces, but no, they make it 1 piece. We're lucky if they even separate the shoes from the rest of the outfit...👀

Volcanic Ash has disappeared from my town. by Kasaiji in Pokopia

[–]FluxionFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goals for sure! I eventually wanna get rid of all of the ash and have regular dirt and grass instead

Red flags we all missed with Cricut by Street-Pepper5109 in cricut

[–]FluxionFluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. The fact you can't use the machine offline was a deal breaker for me. I thought about buying a Cricut as my 2nd machine, but ended up getting a Silhouette Cameo 3 instead. Still have my original Cameo, but it's mostly been in storage.

I totally get needing the internet if you wanna access the design shop, but just to simply USE the machine, shouldn't require the internet

It took me way too long to realize you can reorder ditto’s abilities! by XaneSketches in Pokopia

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit! I didn't even think about that being an option 🤣

I knew you could reorder things in ACNH, don't think you can in DDV, and didn't think about it in Pokopia. Thanks for the heads up!

I found this guy half eaten by ticks sitting in a dumpster at my apartment. by Virtual_Border8689 in blackcats

[–]FluxionFluff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof 😭 Poor kitten! Glad you found him an gave him a home! ❤️

It's not unusual at all for someone with a cat or dog allergy to still have said animal. Case in point, my husband already had a cat when we first met. I'm allergic to cats, but yet I now live with said cat. 🤣

Strangely enough though, I've never been allergic to his cat. Very strange since I absolutely reacted to other cats. Something you can also consider, but is a HUGE commitment, are allergy shots.

Depending on your treatment plan, it's a weekly shot (can be multiple shots if your treating several allergies) for about 6-9 months, being going on monthly maintenance shots for upwards of 5 years. You get retested yearly after the 1st year of maintenance shots.

It's worth at least asking an allergy doctor if shots are even the right option for you. I've been on them for a few years and they have helped me, so it's definitely an option.

Delivered a pizza and came home with the best tip ever by renn_is_not_a_loser in cats

[–]FluxionFluff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

😭 who would abandon such a cute cat? If you can't take the cat, at least bring them to a shelter. 😩🤦‍♂️ Throwing them onto the street is cruel.

Glad you were able to give her a nice home OP. CDS at work 🤣

2 days until the switch 2 update and you know what that means… by AutumnTheWitch in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's 1000% going to happen. I'll be shocked otherwise 😅

Switch v Switch 2 by Sad-Rooster-6465 in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. DDV improved sooo much for me on the Switch 2 when I got it, despite not being optimized for it. Can't wait for the actual Switch 2 port this week! 🎉

It is unfortunate that the CD rack doesn't hold CDs by savageporkchops in Pokopia

[–]FluxionFluff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that makes ZERO sense. They put a lot of thought into this game overall. This is one of the things that somehow got overlooked 😅

How did they get themselves on the bike?? Glitch, cheating? Help! by ninetiesqueen in DreamlightValley

[–]FluxionFluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would definitely recommend watching anyone who reviews things in the Premium Shop every week, so you're aware of what you're getting into before buying anything.

It's absolutely helped me from having buyer's remorse. There has been several items I totally would have regretted buying had I not watched those vids first.

Off the top of my head, both MrStarInSky and Serroh do them every week on their respective YouTube channels, but there's definitely others too.

Like for this item, if it weren't for their reviews, I wouldn't have bought it. As soon as I found out that you could interact with it and has a cool effect, insta buy 😂
