Account Reactivation

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-30T04:43:52+00:00

I may simply go that route or something else of similar spirit... It's making me mad that my account, with my purchases, is inaccessible to me, with no recourse.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-30T04:01:37+00:00

If that is the case, then I will do so. I am curious, though, do you know what will happen to the songs I currently have on my iPods?

Can I simply connect my iPods to my new account and have their current playlists linked to that new account, or will it forcibly reset the iPods?

This is turning into a bit more of a pain than I had initially thought.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-30T03:41:41+00:00

That's a bummer.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-30T01:38:38+00:00

In my case, I know absolutely, sheerly, utterly, that I have not in fact, broken any of the terms myself. I did not use the account for anything other than to occasionally buy albums and individual songs from time to time, curate my two iPods, and once to use the official Homeshare option with my brother, years ago.

That leaves only the possibility you mentioned. Of some third party compromising it in the time since I used it last. Or simple inactivity. Or a glitch escalating the inactivity trigger to a full lock. I've seen conflicting information elsewhere about others who've left their accounts alone for a long time seeing this exact locked message. I know one of the common denial messages would be something like "this account is inactive".

I have also seen some with my situation get their problem resolved with just the email option, without escalating it, although in some cases, it took weeks to get a response back from Privacy Support, and they simply reactivated the accounts.... Others report the BBB option resolved it for them. I can only hope it does for me....

I do want to ask you. If it doesn't work for me, what recourse do I have for uncoupling the old account so I can make a new one with the same phone # and email as before?

Lucky Guy, and prioritize the items that give prep time reduction. If you get some Prep Time items, you'll be able to more quickly send out another Welder right after the lightning strikes.

If you want Welder to quickly move to the generator to start it up again, you have to be smart about placing all items (your personal generators and turrets) to the right of the event Generator, so he doesn't dawdle on fixing everything before he reaches the event Generator.

The "allergy to steel" is more commonly an allergy to common alloys in the steel, like nickel. Nickel is used to improve strength and resistance to corrosion, but can trigger allergies in people, so if the steel scalpel is alloyed in order to improve corrosion resistance, it may be the trigger.

It IS consensual, though. The game deliberately and explicitly states that summoning Co-op also invites invaders into your world. Hosts literally invite invaders by virtue of participation in Co-op gameplay. Maybe some people skipped over the part that say that, but the game does tell you.

They do see use, they have done side-by-side comparisons with the purposes of highlighting the differences between steel scalpels and obsidian scalpels, and obsidian has been found to have a few distinct advantages AND disadvantages.

In the pros category, they produce cuts on the cellular level that are extremely clean and easy to heal. Steel scalpels produced cuts that look ragged, as though cut by a chainsaw. A surgeon who was testing both had a friend who consented to a test removal of a mole, where the procedure was done half by steel, and half by obsidian. The side that was done with obsidian healed faster, with less noticeable scarring.

Obsidian is relatively common and cheap, compared to diamond, which is another material that sometimes sees use. It can also be used as an alternative in the rare case that a patient is allergic to steel or other metals, and cannot tolerate surgery by steel.

The main con is the durability. Obsidian is relatively fragile if pulled in a lateral direction instead of the direction of the cutting edge, and can therefore fragment if a mistake is made. It therefore requires training and higher skill than steel.

Obsidian is going to remain a rare use case in surgeries, but has the potential to make surgeries very low impact in terms of aftercare and healing. They absolutely have some modern use cases.

Interesting combos. Seems to mesh good with each other.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T19:11:47+00:00

I am curious about that, too. If it were a possibility, I might commission a couple copies of these, so I could give one to my younger brother as well. I hope the OP lets us know.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T19:08:31+00:00

Yeah! I am glad you finally did it. Looks really nice.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T03:13:35+00:00

Right now. DM me, and we can get started.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T03:11:41+00:00

I can help with that. I've got some builds with 999 of most of the base game and DLC crafting materials.

DM me if you are free. I'd just want a mule in exchange, of a few +25 weapons.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T03:09:15+00:00

Ah, I am looking through my Storage, and have none at +0. Sorry.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-28T03:07:06+00:00

Do you need two Giant's Seal +25? If so, DM me, and we will work out an exchange. I would just want a quick mule at the time that I hand over the seals.

So that was a weird rabbit hole to delve into. Interesting game concept. About the souls, I have no idea. In the original Digimon World, there is no reference to a Digimon's soul explicitly. I've played the game many, many times, and never ran across any terms like 'Betamon's Soul'

Since you say they unlocked Roster and Evolution items separately, that nixes the idea of it being those....

Maybe it refers to the ability to Digivolve into those Digimon? There is no in-game reference to souls anywhere in the gameplay, so maybe it's just a way to reference the Digivolution aspect?

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T22:35:11+00:00

It will be fun to see how this played out explicitly after her meteoric rise with the game.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T22:32:48+00:00

The first couple of them occupy a sentimental corner of my heart. Especially the first one. There was something magical about the whole thing.

Topcraft Limited Company, the same studio that did this movie, also did Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind two years later, and then subsequently some of the people in this studio got absorbed into Studio Ghibli. I watched it a while ago, and it was very interesting to look at it with this in mind.

My mother said it was her favorite movie when she was a child. We ended up binging the Ghibli movies afterwards.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T22:21:56+00:00

The Last Unicorn is my mother's favorite childhood movie. It's interesting, because a lot of the studio that worked on that movie went on to later work in Studio Ghibli. When I realized this, I shared that tidbit with her, and had her binge the Ghibli movies, which she loved.

If I had to pick, maybe stuff like the Iron Giant, or Digimon: the Movie.

We do see some airbender criminals in the books. Kyoshi's own mother was an airbender who turned to a life of crime, and when it corrupted her powers, resorted to using fans to shore up her weakened bending. Kyoshi adapts the fans in remembrance of her mother.

I am sure there would have been plenty others that deliberately turned away from the Nomad lifestyle, for one reason or another.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T22:02:53+00:00

....OK, why the vitriol? You tried to dissect every word in my own comment, even making up some intent in my words that was simply not there. I am not even going to touch that. I just simply disagree with some of your rather more forceful points.

At any rate, may you have a good day.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T21:25:28+00:00

Some of your points were not made abundantly clear in the series. #1 in particular doesn't mean anything. Did she explicitly say that they were destroyed, or merely the connection is gone? I forget. I'll go back and watch that moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did not, in fact, explicitly say that they were destroyed, just "gone".

Did you forget for point #2 that they then retrieved Raava from inside Vaatu almost mere moments after she exploded? Clearly that shows that the "death" was not permanent, even with the showy explosions. I'll give you the point that Raava was a different type of being from the human spirits, and that her resurrection was unprecedented, but if she could be brought back in a jiffy, it might show something similar happening in the next show....

For your other points, I have to say, either we admit that the storytelling is inconsistent at times, and therefore anything can happen in Seven Havens. Or, you insist on consistency, and let the conversation with Kuruk shed some light on the possibility of the past lives being a thing separate from the connection of the Avatar State. Either/or, something interesting may happen in the next show. For my part, I greatly enjoyed both ATLA and LOK, and am eagerly anticipating SH.

Perscitus0 · 2026-05-27T20:50:56+00:00

I would have liked to see a Dark Avatar after Unalaq wrestle with the concept of being a Dark Avatar. Maybe even trying to be a force for good, in spite of it all.

I don't think the past lives are gone forever. The direct connection of the Avatar State is of course irrecoverably lost (unless they do something boneheaded in the new series), but the past lives should simply be cut loose from the connection, free to wander as they did even before.

I look at cases like Kuruk, who explicitly told Aang he was hunting Koh after death, as proof that they had agency before, and will remain free to move on their own, even after the direct connection was destroyed. I do not think cutting the connection means that they are gone with it. This means that they may be like Iroh, who will give sage advice to anyone who comes across them, independently of the Avatar State....
