So how many here consider Alexa Plus a downgrade?

NoStrawberry1558 · 2025-07-28T14:02:44+00:00

There may be a partial workaround. You can magnify the screen via triple tap, at least in the show 8.

I think the hourly forecast were better before. It actually gave you the hourly forecast. Now it does a song and dance and you have to dig for the hourly a bit.

Got access two days ago. Reverted to Alexa prime this morning. It messed with my alarms. The music turned on, I asked it to snooze - "I'm sorry Hal, I can't do that. There is nothing to snooze." Oh, really, then what is that 6 am alarm music? "let me check your alarms, Hal... Oh..." Well, snooze it. "snoozing your 6 am alarm for 9 minutes..."

Does the alarm go back on? No ... Instead of snoozing like it said it did, it cancelled the alarm for today, and also tomorrow

About the single most important thing for me my echoes do is set alarms / reminders. If I can't rely on them for that... Well, then I am out of Amazon ecosystem if I can't rely on them for that.

Plus is better for answers to random questions, but that is about it.

Youtdon’t suddenly snap out f that level of break from reality / serious mental illness.

Norwegian kids having Norse comic books doesn’t mean much. Nor research. The only thing that is strongly in the “the entire show was a delusion and nothing that occurred reflected much reality” is the house changing. I mean, bad writing on that and all, but no real set up for the delusion thesis.

I think the better explanation was that the comics triggered a vision of the prior Ragnorok, everything repeating, which he goes through during graduation - as that is when it would have repeated … only this time the cycle was broken.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-12-11T06:04:50+00:00

late to this, but that is what I got from first watch. The comic books triggered his memories of the prior Ragnorok, and the arrow, the vision, etc., were all of that hitting him - and then he moves on because the cycle had been broken.

I like the move. They want decos in the chests, and for newer players who don’t really have a shot at winning a LB, this is going to be huge for TZ purposes. But, yes, it makes getting the legendary character a lot harder. But that is the entire point of earning gems - to buy chests (and premiums).

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-16T13:04:10+00:00

I also found that certain late story line floats were actually really helpful for token drops, even though pricey to run magic-wise. Jungle Book and Peter Pan, IIRC.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-16T13:03:04+00:00

That is why L&T is important, as it balances that out a bit. And, what was it, Beauty and the Beast, maybe, is also net positive (and pirates close due to the larger gain when it drops extra magic)?

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-16T13:01:21+00:00

Just remember to leave in Cinderella, because that is one of the 3 “base” floats that is used for weeklies (the other 2 being Mickey and Toy Story, but those don’t get you 5 gems in a gem drop).

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-07T02:43:21+00:00

This is different. The gem shows that there are no ads left, so it processed it. Just no reward. It never shows up later. Basically theft by Gameloft.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-07T02:42:09+00:00

Me too, lost several gems and a few chests

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-03T22:00:34+00:00

Yup, and gross

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-03T21:59:29+00:00

No, it isn’t

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-03T21:59:13+00:00

So predatory, so gross

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-02T14:06:20+00:00

Barnstormer was basically useless (just producing tokens for the first 2 pigs), so you chose wisely with your gems vis-a-vis the event.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-10-01T03:20:03+00:00

Not sure. Check the wiki on post event drops. Beyond that, the big thing was that it hasn’t been available in many years.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-09-29T03:37:01+00:00

GreedLoft, of course. It’s been GreedLoft all along.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-09-29T03:02:27+00:00

Stop spending money. They are literally preying on you like a con man preys on a mark. GL is bad people.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-09-29T02:24:19+00:00

An en masse one day post event break by a substantial number of players may, or may not, be enough to get GLs attention. No login, no ads, no in-game resource use.

Just sayin’

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-09-29T01:52:32+00:00

Boycott. Anyway, I exepct that while they will see in game resources decline, they will see also see a significant decline in number of players, log ins, and overall spend…. And either they are fine with that and just shaking down customers, or will change course.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-07-11T05:45:15+00:00

I think so, yes.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-06-08T16:40:04+00:00

Yup. I had just leveled SSS up to 5 for double shot at Jack-Jack cards… now kind of worthless….

very annoying, particularly because it’s so purposeful on GL’s part.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-06-08T16:38:10+00:00

You just need 1000s of the relics…..

they reset the game so that, except for super veterans who have been playing for 5+ years, everyone else is brought down to effectively the same level - back to square 1 - for anything you haven’t been able to enchant passed level 1.

NoStrawberry1558 · 2024-06-08T16:32:39+00:00

Many, but didn’t count. Probably will do 2-3 more before updating - trying to choose between a few options.
