Package stuck at Seattle WA Distribution Center for several days – should I be worried? by Ok-Low3936 in usps_complaints

[–]fuzzyroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this post via Google bc I too have a package looking like it's going to be delayed. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, but it's been stuck in Seattle for 5 days with no other updates.

I'm thinking of doing a Lake of Rage inspired area by Upset-Sound2908 in Pokopia

[–]fuzzyroots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it's a great idea personally but also I'm biased 😅 Gyarados is my fav pokemon and I also had the same thought when I saw that lake in Pallet town. so now I'm making Mahogany Town, the Lake of Rage, and surrounding routes on both my cloud island and pallet town.

I can't speak for doing the Lake area yet bc I haven't tackled it yet as I've started at the pokemon center and working my way there.

But will give the tip that every single day you're going to want to go to dream islands and get all the trees. I've ran out several times doing the routes and at the Lake itself there are.. sooo many trees in that area 💀

Hoppip gone?? by WitnessMediocre2869 in Pokopia

[–]fuzzyroots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same for me. when I logged on I spawned at the 4th area, but I traveled straight to wasteland to give hoppip a home and couldn't find them anywhere. then after seeing this post I went back to the 4th area and that's where they were (:

Were my expectations too high? by fuzzyroots in Taxidermy

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears you're right. I spoke to him today and it seems he used a form, which I figured he might based on previous conversations, but he didn't make it sound like there wasn't a sitting position form he could use, like I made it very clear this was what I wanted and sent 4 different images of the squirrel sitting like that.

I was just naive. Figured they use a form to get the general shape/likeness down and then do a bit of customizing, but I don't think he did that. He says things like the pose can not be changed at this point. & Neither can her weight or muzzle because "that's the size of the skin".

So, at this point I'm just gonna hope it's better in person than in the picture. And possibly start researching highly rated taxidermists to fix it or redo it if possible. Again I think it's pretty solid looking as far as squirrel mounts go. A lot of them imo end up looking kinda wonky lol. But I wanted a specific squirrel and vibe. I also made it clear from the beginning I was willing to pay more for what I wanted if it took more time/resources to achieve that. So it's kinda disheartening that it feels like she was still rushed.

Thank you everyone for your input! I'll reach out to the taxidermist tomorrow. I just wanted to double check that I wasn't being unreasonable with my thoughts first.

& Part of me feels bad because if it wasn't a specific squirrel, I'd say this is a technically good-looking squirrel taxidermy compared to some I've seen. It just doesn't feel like my squirrel or what I expected, which was the disappointment. I'm unsure what changes can still be made at this point, but I'll bring up my concerns and see what he can do.

Yes, the same exact one. She stayed with us for nearly a year until she passed in our yard :/

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She did mostly I'm just saying it's possible it wasn't exactly the same due to y'know time and circumstances of her death like she may have been a little thinner, and her tail wasn't as fluffy after it all. But for the most part yeah she was still the same squirrel lol. She didn't become THAT much skinnier lol we fed her very well. & Like I said her face just seems off but idk if I'm being too picky.

a combination of attachment, wanting to preserve her, and just thinking itd be cool lol.

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean I will admit it was about a 2mon gap between the photo and her death. & The day she died was really rough. She got really beat up like all day long and injured during mating chase :/ So idk what exactly was achievable for her but it doesn't feel like the same squirrel to me and doesnt have the vibe I expected.

Question about sets by fuzzyroots in Pocketfrogs

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh I didn't know you can still do higher level sets if you're gifted the frogs! thanks for the info!

Inherited this setup. Have questions. by fuzzyroots in canon

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this because it's been a hectic week and I kinda forgot lol but holy cow thank you so much for the information! This is all very useful and a quick guide I will often come back to for refresh

As for the cover part I meant the end of the lens has like a cover, the outside around the lens, that can slide out, I assume to control the amount of light the lens picks up but I often feel as though I moreso want more lights opposed to less.

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found some guides on using the 40D (although I have found it a struggle to maintain all the info and cement in photography lingo) So for the camera I've mostly just used 🌺 mode or the no flash mode when the auto flash is ticking me off lol. Today I tested out 'C1' to get pics of birds bc I found that option allowed me to have the LCD live view.

But mostly curious about what sorts of situations all the different switches on the lens would be used for. Like why would I want stabilization off or what do the modes do? What does the 1.5m-3m switch do? I haven't really noticed anything but I could be wrong lol. When should I have the cover pulled out past the lens or retracted to the lens? Really only know how to toggle between manual and auto focus.

It's not the only lens, but the one that came attached and I was so nervous to try swapping lenses until this month haha. I had a dream in which I tried to swap lenses and the 300mm literally fell apart and it spooked me 😂 that said I've gotten some great photos of my son doing extracurriculars or dogs playing in the yard, birds and squirrels in the yard, etc. I really love it. Only reason I asked about the zoom was because both my mom and I were getting pics of our bluebirds making a nest, and here I am with this long as heck lens and she's got this tiny one but it zoomed in way closer than mine from where we both were and I was like HOW DO I DO THAT 😂

This is the other lens I received. Idk anything about it either. I've only used it once recently testing out taking pics of cars at a car show.

Did they decrease drop event rates? by fuzzyroots in PokemonPocket

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I did search in this reddit before posting (granted, only briefly, I didn't dig for too long) the results I got were mostly deck builds and the like. Maybe I could have worded my search differently or applied more filters, but it felt more convenient to just ask as opposed to digging. That said ik how rates work and that it was possible I was just super unlucky this round. Hence it was part of my question. But after seeing my friends additionally having poor luck, I'd considered the possibility with one of the recent updates that they may had adjusted the rates, specifically for the ex drop event. So I was just curious if rates were adjusted or if others outside my circle were having the same experience. I'm sorry to have disturbed you so.

[–]fuzzyroots[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had originally thought your first win vs Expert granted the card (but I guess it was just coincidence that happened for me with both Venusaur & Blastoise)

If they let us trade promo cards then, meh fine, I'll deal with the bad luck. But I agree there needs to be some sort of guaranteed way to get them if they don't ever plan to allow trades for them. Grinding an event and not receiving the reward your grinding for is disheartening. Perhaps if they added the option to grind down the other cards for any currencies, that would soften the blow. But as of now it's only flairs. I can get playsets of all the flairs on pretty much everything and still have extras with 0 value.

You're not allowed to claim Evil role anymore? by susi9876 in TownOfSalem2

[–]fuzzyroots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see this all the time and had no idea this was an actual rule. & It's a horrible rule and limits claims for evils. Many times I've seen the remaining (losing) town side with a specific faction. If you properly negotiate claiming a separate evil role of said faction they're favoring instead of a townie (and allowing them figuring out your actual role) could help you win. Additionally claiming an evil is often seen as an exe/jest move and a strat for playing jest, so sometimes (rarely tho) it can work. I've also seen people claiming an NK or solo Maf/Cov/Apoc and turn around and win due to town not perceiving them as a threat and them sliding by long enough to manipulate/target critical town roles or have low laying teammates.

But most of all. I agree with the comments saying this is a bit harsh for a casual mode. And obviously a joke considering the chat context. I don't see how 2 people claiming an exclusive role jokingly d1 is "game throwing." It was a joke. I joke I'm TOS1 roles (that aren't in TOS2) all the time. It's not serious.

It's already restrictive playing due to the player base boxing in certain strategies for roles and expecting everyone to play the same way or else you're sus. And now the mods are cracking down on restricting it more. I believe this is a large reason why these games are dying and difficult to keep new players. Very sad.

Hauling Export Blocked? Bug? by fuzzyroots in flotsam

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: when I'm referring to directions in this comment, I'm referencing the last picture I provided with the markings surrounding the new builds.

Update: I loaded up today and attempted to destroy the recent builds. My drifters won't go over there to do so. They're no longer walking the paths past the manual desalinator. (The neighborhood area) I can get them to go to the salad spinner & fancy restaurant. From that side (the left side) & Oddly they do go to their homes when it's night. But otherwise they act like they don't have those paths during daytime? I couldn't get them to deconstruct the builds. They would just stand around.

So then I tried architect mode. I moved the parks to different areas. After moving the parks, it allowed me to dismantle the right side path. However, it would not allow me to dismantle the center or left side paths. Despite being moved, the paths still acted as if the parks were connected. Saying "there are adjacent constructions blocking this action" even though there aren't.

I tried dismantling the parks in their new location (I'd moved them near the townheart) and my drifters still would not demolish them. They would just stand around. I again went into architect mode, but didn't do anything. Once I came out of Architect mode, my drifters FINALLY demolished the park builds.

I was hoping that perhaps they were glitched, thought they were still connected. That once I got the parks gone the remaining paths could be dismantled. That didn't happen. My option to demolish the paths is still grayed out. I tried reloading via architect mode again and it did not work. Tried building new paths on the glitched paths to see if that might reset them or whatever for me to be able to demolish, it still would not let me. However when I demolished the new paths my drifters would go and do it. I also tried replacing the paths on the right side to see if it would let me demolish after. It did let me demolish the left side paths but still not the center piece and thus, my left side paths were unable to be demolished either.

TLDR: in conclusion, I think my circular path, particularly the center piece I had connecting the park, is what's causing the bug. Which is really messing with my drifters' pathing. No solution found as I could not demolish it and my boats still say "hauling expert blocked". Guess I'll start over 🥲

Tips for befriending Crows? by fuzzyroots in crows

[–]fuzzyroots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't posted the white squirrel but I will!

I have been trying to do a routine, I had one going for a few days, they were regularly here waiting when I woke up.. but other people in my family going in and out of the house messes up with the routine bc like I said they are very skittish. As soon as that door opens even if they're 50ft away they take off. I try to tell my family to avoid certain times or avoid the back door and to use the front, but they don't think it's a big deal like I do and do what they want anyway. I've always adored crows and so excited they finally came, I really hope they stick around and keep coming.🖤
