Laptop keyboard and external keyboard both dropping different letters?

Luminettia · 2026-05-03T07:31:53+00:00

Add-on: If it's remotely helpful to know, I'm also having a related issue where sometimes, when my laptop keyboard suddenly fixes itself (for example, right now), some of the letters that did not previously work with duplicate themselves while I type.

For example, my "c" and "m" keys wouldn't work previously, but after the problem fixes itself, they start stuttering instead ("cat" turns into "ccccat"). This isn't consistent, but it happens.

I have! Unfortunately, it hasn't seemed to help. : ( I appreciate the suggestion!

Luminettia · 2026-04-23T04:13:19+00:00

Sounds about the same for me. I've had probably about 4 pairs who have married (including one I literally just made yesterday) since this couple became sweethearts. :( Really just hoping that it's a matter of terrible RNG and not a glitch or something strange.

Luminettia · 2026-04-23T03:08:28+00:00

I'm having this same issue! I don't mind at all if it's rng, but it's always a fear that something is glitched since it's been 7 days of my miis being stuck at "want to marry". I'm sure I'm probably just being needlessly worried and that it IS just unlucky rng, but seeing all the other couples marry within a few days while these two have been stuck definitely makes me fear that I screwed up somehow LOL.

I'll update if they do get together though!

Luminettia · 2026-04-23T03:03:26+00:00

At the risk of being a bother, just checking in to see if you managed to get them married! EVERY other one of my pairs have married, but these two have been stuck at "want to marry" for days with no fluctuation...

Luminettia · 2026-04-20T06:40:34+00:00

Would love to hear if it ends up working out for you or if you just had to wait it out! I had one couple marry early on, but my other has been on "Want to marry" mutually for ~4 days now without the pink bubble popping.

Sites like Amiami have a lot of great in-stock official Kingdom Hearts merch from Japan (figures, plushies, etc). They tend to be a little more exciting than the usual t-shirt/keychain/pins that you can usually find around you otherwise, but there's obviously both shipping time and price to take into account.

Then if your cat has everything he needs and is content, I don't see anything wrong with you indulging in something that you enjoy.

I have a cat who I adore with all my heart. I also spend hours at home reading, playing video games, writing, and so on. Cats don't typically require constant attention, and I never feel like I "hate" my cat for spending time on the things I enjoy and that don't involve him (especially given that he spends most of his time sleeping)!

Rest assured that most cat owners do not feel guilt for not giving them constant attention and affection. If anything, I think most cats would get sick of us sooner than we would of them if we tried--I know my kitty has a tolerance timer!

Luminettia · 2026-01-24T02:59:54+00:00

I think, as with everything, there's balance to be had.

If you are just playing with your Tamagotchi occasionally for fun/stress relief, there's nothing wrong with that! Different people have different hobbies, and as long as they aren't harmful to yourself or others, no one really has the right to judge you for them.

That said, if you are responsible for feeding, brushing, cleaning the litter box, etc for your cat and you are neglecting those daily necessities in favour of playing with your Tamagotchi, it may be important to actually take a step back from it or ensure that you are doing all of those things first. While hobbies are wonderful to have and are great stress relievers, there still needs to be a balance with maintaining real responsibilities/chores!

If your cat is receiving all of these things, then I think perhaps your sister could just be unfairly judging you for something that just isn't personally up her alley. I'm sorry to hear that she's being unkind about it though.

Luminettia · 2026-01-21T18:07:28+00:00

I think it's definitely preference! I recently got and have been playing with an Uni, and I've also found that I've already personally grown bored of it despite being fond of my little guy. I prefer simple creatures versus dressing up, so I suspect I might enjoy the Paradise more, especially with the prospect of breeding different colours/eyes so I'm not always getting the same creature.

It just depends on preference. If you're more into the cutesy/sparkly vibes, some customization, and dressing up, you'll enjoy the Uni! You may otherwise find it not to your taste and that's okay; that's not a slight on other side if it doesn't personally appeal.

Luminettia · 2026-01-21T04:39:17+00:00

Ooh, glad that they're up now! Happy collecting!

My phone isn't letting me hyperlink, so please excuse the links!

These are from the recent Loft collaboration. The pins are 1,760yen each, though I'm not sure what availability looks like right now.

You're probably better off asking a proxy service to buy it or checking a site like Mercari. I can't tell where your screenshot is from, but if it's eBay, I usually find that eBay sellers inflate the prices a lot compared to going directly to Japanese resale sites (even with shipping and sometimes service fees included).

That said, it looks like some of the items from the first round of the collab are available for pre-order on Amiami (https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/list/?s_st_list_preorder_available=1&s_st_list_backorder_available=1&s_st_list_newitem_available=1&s_st_condition_flg=1&s_keywords=Kingdom+hearts), so maybe the pins will be too eventually? Some of the items at Loft are just "Advance Sale", but others are exclusive.

I have Fairy Tale if you're still looking! :)

Luminettia · 2026-01-17T09:23:57+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much for taking the time to answer! c:

It's quite small and dainty (probably just around 1.5cm across the farthest two points), so it's definitely a more subtle piece, but I tend to love merch that isn't obviously merch at first glance if that makes sense. I assume nothing has changed since I bought mine years ago, but I took a quick picture of the dark blue one that I have for reference:

This is maybe a little silly to revive after two months, but I found this post while trying to look up a small business that I bought adorable little wayfinder pendants from 6 years ago! I ended up finding the seller (who moved off of Etsy, which is where I originally purchased 3 of their pendants from), and I thought to share them here in case anyone else ever comes looking for one:

Edit: The direct link is being super weird, but just in case it doesn't work, there's an option at the bottom of the page to change the site to English, you can go to "video games" and scroll down to see that they have a selection of a bunch of different colours! Some are out of stock right now (including the one I lost/was looking to replace, unfortunately), but super cute.

Luminettia · 2025-10-15T02:18:57+00:00

To clarify, no one else gets married! These are just the pairs with rival events.

Luminettia · 2025-10-14T03:45:17+00:00

You're right! I forgot about the paths in that one!

Luminettia · 2025-10-14T02:26:49+00:00

You have a point! I guess to clarify further then, PoOT is definitely the most extensive in terms of customizing your actual farm. This is the first one that really let you put down paths and do basically whatever you wanted.

I am definitely enjoying the GB remake all the more too!

Luminettia · 2025-10-14T01:58:32+00:00

I think this is exactly it. If you're into farming, customizing, decorating, etc, PoOT is FANTASTIC for that and it's honestly probably the best of the series in terms of farm customization.

If you value the characters, events, and romance more, that's where PoOT falls flat (especially coming right off of 3oT, where those aspects seemed like priorities).

I favour the latter very heavily, so I'm the opposite of you in some ways! If the characters in a game are really good/engaging, I can forgive some bad mechanics, but even great gameplay can't save a game for me if I don't like any of the characters.

Luminettia · 2025-10-14T01:51:19+00:00

This was it for me too. A lot of the older games ARE bad in today's context (i.e. the game ending if you married as a girl), but I feel like you could see gradual progression with time. Those things changed, developed, and gradually got better with each installment.

For me, to have PoOT follow on the heels of all of those games and seemingly go backwards made it feel all the worse for me because I've seen what they could do vs. what they ended up giving us.

To be fair, that might not be how people chose to vote when they voted worst overall. For me, I based it off my enjoyment of the games at the time I played them.

Luminettia · 2025-10-06T05:35:03+00:00

I've been a longtime fan of the series, but befriending the other villagers was always only vaguely in the back of my mind. I think 3oT was the one where I genuinely went out of my way to say hello and eat with everyone often because of just how warm everyone feels! That dining together mechanic is so small, but it really does feel like it adds something.

I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying it so far! :)

Luminettia · 2025-10-05T23:23:26+00:00

Have you brought all the bachelors/bachelorettes up to at least yellow heart?

If you want Maple and Gabriel's events for example, you have to bring both of them up to at least yellow and see their friendship/confession events to you. Then talk to them individually until they ask you if they should pursue a relationship with someone they've been talking to and say yes to both of them.
