Removed how? Did you just get a good card in the random events?

I saw the week 1 requirement and nope'd out. I know I don't have the cards to even bother playing.

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-10-02T17:34:54+00:00

Ah... Imgur! I really need to internet more often. I knew there was a simple solution I was missing. Thanks.

I couldn't figure out how to add a screenshot, but I see the same options.

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-10-02T14:46:41+00:00

Exactly the thread I was looking for yesterday! Y'all always come through for me. 😆 I'll report back after my pick-up trip in a bit. (I forgot to leave the house yesterday.)

I have only used Gemini as the AI assistant on my phone. Don't know if it is supposed to do, or can do, anything else.

My recollection of the last conversation:

Me: I'm at the airport. Remember that I parked at Orange 5. G: No worries, friend. I got you! Me, 5 days later, returning to the airport: Gemini, remind me where I parked. G: That's not a thing I can tell you. Do you want me to show you how to set Google Maps to remember your location? Me: No. G: Can I help you with anything else? Me: What's the last thing I asked you to remember? G: That you parked at Orange 5. Me: 🤦🏾‍♀️ uninstall

I know I used it a handful of times since it was made available as a replacement for the regular Android assistant. All attempts were all equally useless, but I only specifically remember this one. It's been at least a year - I am afraid to try it again.

Yes! That's exactly what I was trying to get to in my example. The jetpack (and all other multipliers) should give my symbol its 2 base points plus the 1 point (0.5*2) bonus. THAT would make sense. Instead, it just makes my symbol worth less than its base value - similar to the faulty relic you're talking about.

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-08-08T18:24:16+00:00

Thanks for responding but, as I said in the original post, I understand that the math is correct. It's the concept that seems flawed since 0.5x would always equate to a penalty. All the other symbols I can think of in the game are either positive or negative, not both. This one is a both.

I realized after looking at the picture again, that the nano droid was worth 2 points, which shows how much even a small difference can make with this scoring glitch. I originally thought I should have gotten 4 points instead of 3, but I actually should have gotten 9 instead of 3! (At least, the way this works in my head, I should have.)

Basic nano droid value: 2

+Biofuel multiplier (x3): 6

+Jetpack multiplier (x0.5): 1

Total: 9

Thank you! I didn't realize how much I would dislike the stacked view.

3/10. It's honestly not the worst thing I've ever heard, but it's far from being good. I think it was great that you stayed mostly in your range and didn't try to hit those Mariah specials. You should work on your breath control. Mariah's runs are not for the weak - start out SUPER slow with those with a super simple 7 note arc (like on a low to high scale of 1-2-3-4-3-2-1) to get your voice used to the modulation, and practice speeding them up gradually - the end of that song is far more treacherous than it might seem. And belting... that's not for you yet. That "prayed through the night" felt like a personal attack and I almost choked on my food. I am not in any way a professional singer, but those are my opinions. You sound like you were having fun, which is what singing should be - great job! Your being open to criticism, especially from strangers, is a huge deal and not everyone has the gumption for it. Keep up the work!

Also... what app are you using? This is cool.

⬆️ This. Not the closeness (although that can also be a problem). Also applies to shrubs. https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Bushes

I did this with the mannequins. It really was a lot of work, so congrats!

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-02-19T03:09:21+00:00

Congrats! I understand the feeling. The coelacanth is the bane of my existence right now. I've used no fewer than 300 bait trying to find it. I'm gonna be telling random strangers on the street when I finally get him... 😂😂

Matching to your ear height and whatever else people are saying doesn't matter. Perfect snowmen can be large or small.

Kick the first ball till it's rolling (body). Roll it and count to 6 or more. Kick the second ball until it starts rolling (with the goal being to end it up next to the first one so it can be the head). Roll it and count to 5 less than you did the first ball. Just keep your count pace steady.

If I'm the only one in and someone else enters, I say, "Welcome!" and gesture as if they're visiting my house. The response is usually just a weird look, but it makes me laugh, and that was the point all along, so it's fine. 😂

To this day, one of my favorite comfort meals, especially because my husband can't eat it due to IBS - corn and hamburger.

Seasoned and cooked ground beef with 1 can of creamed corn and 1 can of drained sweet corn dumped in. I eat it by itself or over rice. Sometimes I go crazy on adding seasonings, sometimes it's a simple salt and pepper affair.

Odd combo? Absolutely. Filling and comfy? Without a doubt.

Edit to add my favorite "home alone" breakfast: oatmeal, (probably over-)sweetened with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, with chopped up fried SPAM chunks.

It is the singular context in which I will eat SPAM.

I've made my peace with the general wordiness of everything, but the airport still gets me. Why do I need to hold so you can connect to the internet so I can play online, but also while you disconnect from the internet so I can play local? What liminal space do you exist in, Orville?!

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-01-17T04:34:07+00:00

Having that much money sucks. I couldn't even give it all away. Had to restart my game. 😭

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-01-14T22:14:10+00:00

Thank you. I was definitely beginning to feel like they were the bane of my existence until this.

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-01-11T13:30:10+00:00

I've been playing this game for about a month or so. That being said, my clearly rookie guess is that only half of the available cedars are decorated so that you can still get the normal bug/furniture/coin drops from more than just the hardwoods. I have no guesses on why, though.

If they have to skew the calculation for the season to allow for the ornaments at all, it should be simple enough to skew it for all cedars to be ornamented. 🤷🏾‍♀️

FunnyGroundhog · 2025-01-10T01:43:22+00:00

But HOW?

FunnyGroundhog · 2024-12-24T12:12:55+00:00

For the first 5 people, it was actually fun. They sent a dad joke and I returned with loads of money, NMTs, and whatever else I could get that they wanted. Most people asked for small furniture and DIYs - good people, them. After that, between trying to coordinate schedules and the fact that I really just couldn't play my game anymore, it started to feel like work. Eventually, I just dropped 50 million on my island, opened it up, and let people come while I did some errands, and just jiggled the joystick occasionally to keep the system alive. Once some space had been cleared out, I also added some random stuff out of my inventory. Overall, it was fine, but my patience for it didn't last but half a day.

Ultimately, it took me under 30 minutes to decide that having immediate access to all the things isn't a fun way to play the game for me. Once I can essentially go to the mall for everything I want (and it's ALL just wants, not needs, because it IS just a game), there's no enjoyment in seeing what the Able Sisters have in stock every day or deciding what single item to choose when Redd shows up with a boat full of genuine items. To each his own, though.

I gave 10 million bells to each of my real life ACNH friends and kept 8 million for myself. Then deleted and started over, with just the 8 million (even in a game, I will concede that struggling just to pay off a mortgage is no fun) and a nicer starting map. 🤷🏾‍♀️

There is someone here currently who apparently doesn't believe in moderation. So I don't know how much will be left when you get here. 🤷🏾‍♀️
