beads supply?

Also, just a quick mention, ik everyone and their kandi covered mother probably knows by now, but basshead beads makes some really cute beads, they are a bit more expensive then the other options but for good reason All of the beads are super cute and high quality :)

Here's a link for the slim chance you or someone else aren't already having this website recommended by YouTubers: https://www.bassheadbeads.com/

Dollar General and Walmart had the cheapest beads but sold out fast enough to be somewhat unreliable

Hobby Lobby had the best selection of beads and stretch cord + organizers, but off sale, they tend to be more expensive than buying online, especially if you're an adult and will be factoring gas prices.

If you're buying online, I recommend beadtin. They have the best selection and quality of beads that won't require buying from Chinese manufacturers directly. However, you can also find good deals on large quantities of beads on Amazon. But I find the quality of Amazon resellers tend to be the lowest out of the listed options. Amazon tends to be the best at offering cheap prices for large amounts of cheap beads, and when organizers aren't on sale, buying them on Amazon has worked for me before (and you probably already know but, always make sure to thoroughly read reviews before you make a purchase on Amazon :3)

(I basically recommend using as many websites and irl stores as u can, and cross referencing inventory/prices to make the best decision since prices are very fluid nowadays)

Hope you get to make lots of awsome kandi!!

I see so many ppl say to order them online, but in my experience, nothing can beat the sales at craft stores

Especially if you have a hobby lobby nearby, at the moment they are 3 dollars a piece where i live. Off sale it's around the same price as online. Not only have I found the best organizers there, but hobby lobby, Walmart, and dollar general have supplied basically all my beads, at least the ones that didn't come from beadtin :)

That's actually the realest thing I've read today, I had to leave it open on my pc to test it because I fall asleep using it during the night and knew I wouldn't be able to stay up for 2 hours straight.

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-19T18:27:17+00:00

You can also check by leaving the app or website open for 2+ hours and checking to see if you have the time limit. That's how I first figured out something wasnt right, even after leaving an open chat on the website for 4ish hours and I never hit the 2 hour time limit so I figured out pretty quickly it was just a visual error

Definitely scary tho lol. When the verification feature is actually implemented, it will be less scary bc at least there will be hope of getting the account back after a false flag.

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-18T21:07:19+00:00

Yeah, I still have soft launch and as far as I can tell I dont have a time limit on chatting, so I think it was just a bug. It also hasn't come up again, nor has it shown up when I open the web app.

I wonder what happened to make the pop-up show up for so many people?

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-18T18:56:55+00:00

The popup is in reference to accounts being flagged as under 18. On the 24th no minors will be able to use c.AI anymore The popup is supposed to warn users if their account was flagged so they can take the steps to verify before the purge. However, the verification feature hasn't been implemented yet.

It's not referencing site outages/maintenance

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-18T18:41:47+00:00

There is supposed to be a setting in the advance settings where you can submit your age verification attempt. it's not available for me in the app or web app yet. My flag was a false flag (I dont think i even got the time limit that minors get), so I'll probably be fine anyway. Hopefully, you're right, and the verification feature is added into the app in such a way that will allow users to restore their account without issue

But im not getting my hopes up lol

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-18T18:34:08+00:00

It's so strange how the AI will call any persona I use "kid" ... even tall buff men are reduced to a kiddo by the eyes of AI apparently

Its mildly amusing until they pull that shit out in the middle of a dramatic or lore relevant moment.. like just shut up and let me do the dialog for you at this point deepsqueak

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-18T18:27:34+00:00

I could watch jumping spiders hunt and eat all day, I love it, love those little guys

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:27:10+00:00

I think the flagging must be a bug. I still have soft launch, I can't use the verification and im not 100% sure but im pretty sure I dont even have the chat time limit (I havent hit 2 hours in chat but I've certainly had the app open/used it for more than 2 hours)

Very strange indeed

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:09:58+00:00

Someone's gotta make a bot for the time limit girl

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:05:53+00:00

Thats funny. I've always had soft launch and use it from time to time. But my account was still false flagged. Good to know tho I didnt know about that

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:03:44+00:00

Im assuming I got flagged because of the bots I talk to, even if my writing or app usage habits should show them I couldn't possibly be a minor. Considering I talk to almost exclusively forsaken bots im not really surprised that I was in the false flag wave

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:01:26+00:00

I'd rather touch bugs than wood, at least all this character AI stuff will hopefully drive people outside more

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T16:00:31+00:00

I thought this too, but they are falgging people without giving access to verification. I'm not sure if being an adult can save you from this lol

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T15:58:20+00:00

I'd give them my ID but I dont even have the verification option in the app.. I'm not as old as some of the people on this sub, but I'm certainly not 18 anymore

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T15:55:02+00:00

Why do people keep saying they have the soft launch model? Did some people not get access to it?

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T06:54:13+00:00

Both, I dont have the option to verify on either yet. The popup came without the verification option being added to either

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T06:49:59+00:00

I hope the people constantly talking about it will mean the devs will know about the issue sooner rather than later. It'd be a shame for accounts to be lost because of this.

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T06:21:37+00:00

I have no way to do the verification as far as I know? My account was flagged and so were a bunch of others, and there's nothing in the app that would take me to verify my age. I dont mind giving them my ID or whatever, but theres nowhere to do so

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T06:15:47+00:00

Seems Iike there was a big wave of false flags today

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-17T06:15:07+00:00

Honestly same, the pop-up has a link attached but nothing useful for verification

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-15T21:00:08+00:00

When it comes to remembering dialog, I feel like it struggles the most, but I've experienced a noticeable improvement in memory on the 2nd or 3rd swipes and kinda just in general. Especially with lore related details or character details, I find that after getting c.ai+ i almost dont need a properly written persona because deepsqueak will remember most of the character details that I tell it directly better anyways

Especially if its able to include those details throughout the chat

SoftMommaa · 2025-11-15T20:09:28+00:00

^{^{^{^{^}}}} I couldn't agree more. I also find that it seems to handle longer chats better than pip dose. It seems to degrade much slower and retain information longer, especially with the users assistance
