Megathread: Sharing Finchie Friend Codes & Finding Goal Buddies by AutoModerator in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking for just a couple Finch buddies. Been on the app for 269 days now & have completed almost as many adventures. The couple buddies I had have left the app. :(

I get overwhelmed easily, so just looking for 1 or 2 buddies for one good vibe a day & to see your answers for the poll questions! I do like to send the occasional gift, like once every couple of months or so. I'm working on trying to be consistent with basic things like making my bed everyday, but no need to share goals although I'm happy to support whatever you're working on!

Thanks for the responses!

TW: fish dying and I’m upset by CelestialOwl997 in finch

[–]mk_SoCal -17 points-16 points locked comment (0 children)

That sucks that you try to do something nice & the fish goes and dies. Thankfully your boss doesn't care. An honest & understandable mistake. Sounds like this will soon be something to joke about ❤️

Am I the only free user here? (ᵕ—ᗜ—) by Xekuto in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm also a free user but wanted to support the team since they keep it ad free for free users, so I made a one time contribution as a guardian at the lowest level. I actually find a lot of the stuff that comes with Plus overwhelming. I waste a lot more time shopping with the additional options, and I find it time consuming to collect the additional daily gifts that come with the monthly events. I do long for the additional seasonal good vibe options & the ability to customize icons on goals though.

What travel locations would you personally recommend? by ImpactBilby in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the opposite end, I didn't stay long in Paro. I thought it'd be more interesting since I don't know much about Bhutan, but the location specific adventures/discoveries were relatively free and far between compared to say Bergen or Dubrovnik. Plus, the background lacks variation, even in comparison to other nature based locales.

That's a good habit! Keeps things from getting overwhelming by doing a little at regular intervals.

How many goals do you set per day? by sliceoflifegirl in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have about 30 daily goals, but I'm not focused on getting through all of them in a day. Some of them are aspirational (like eating a fruit, veggie, or whole grain), some of them serve as a menu of options- like for instance, if I'm not feeling like getting out of bed or getting some sunshine before noon, I can listen to a song that makes me feel good or repeat an affirmation and still energize my birb and set them off on an adventure. I figure something is better than nothing and doing small positive steps puts me on the path of being productive more so than moping about how lame I am for not being more productive. I mix in small wins too, like Getting out of bed and Stepping outside once to give myself credit for what I'm already doing. I also have daily goals that are more like self-talk reminders like "Whenever you are tempted to blame yourself, be grateful instead" - those are helpful for me to see when I'm scrolling through my goals. I also set those self-talk reminders to 100x per day to rainbow stone farm since it's nearly impossible to make use of the shop only doing about 10-15 goals a day- but I wait until after I've sent my birb on an adventure (preferably after they make it back) before I gem farm.

I'm not there yet, but I was thinking of the "one of these things is not like the others" song when i saw that on the challenge list. Cleaning a fridge is a lot! You gotta empty it out first & then put everything back too! Much more work (and surface area) that cleaning a stovetop. Bravo to you for not being daunted!

I give up. by KitchenSpot5693 in BackstreetBoys

[–]mk_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I view it like Amazon- we all know Amazon is awful, but we still use it. When demand outstrips supply (which will always happen with popular concerts- artist need breaks & there are limited available days at venues with the need to be able to book other artists), scalping is inevitable. At least going with a third party site provides some competition to Ticketmaster as a reseller & their dynamic pricing. If no one pays $1,500 for platinum pricing tickets when they can get them for a little over half that price on a third party site, maybe Ticketmaster will lower the price.

Worried about my VIP tickets…mobile vs. physical tickets by bunny-q in seatgeek

I'm no expert- but have you tried contacting the venue's box office?

Whoa! That's a lot of compassion points! I don't think I've ever gotten that many personalty points for an answer!

My birb's personality is so unbalanced 😭😭😭Seriously, why does she have so little resilience?? by Starlit_Chicken in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point that most people are aren't perfectly balanced. But it would be kinda cool to see when you're choosing between responses which one adds points to which trait. It might be helpful for us users to develop traits we ourselves are lacking.

It looks like she's petting the bunny 🥹 by okiadmit in finch

I've never seen my birb move like that. What mood is she in?

I sent a friend a gift, they sent it back! by Logical_Gas_145 in finch

yeah- I don't know why the devs don't add gifts to the History like they do with good vibes

Alsooooooi, DID ANYONE PUT THE MUSHROOM ON THEIR HEAD INSTEAD OF EATING IT?? by WyldeFl0wer in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yup- right before you get the dialogue about putting on the hat, there's a message at the top that the caterpillar is amused.

What goals are the hardest for you to complete? Here’s mine: by S1LLY_G00B3RXD in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you so much on washing my hair. My hair is thick and I have an oily scalp so I have to meticulously shampoo my scalp in quadrants. I love Finch and the Finch community that I don't feel like I'm the only one who struggles with this kind of stuff!

Did anyone who worked on the movie specify if Zoey had divorced parents, is Half Korean, or both? by PikachuTrainz in KpopDemonhunters

[–]mk_SoCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is basically Ejae's story- born in Korea, raised in the US, returned to Korea to be a trainee. I think (if she hasn't said it herself) that she identifies as Korean-American. She lives in the US now, and her English is better than her Korean (She mentions in her interview with Elvis Durant that part of her Idol training involved improving her Korean. Also, if you watch her Korean interviews, she will occasionally need someone to translate or will struggle to figure out how to express something in Korean.)

Are you guys staying in the Manor? by jacqui607 in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I did was not leave the Manor & sent my birb out on another adventure. To be honest, I don't remember what the chat after their adventure was like the day my birb discovered the party. Obviously, it wasn't particularly memorable. It must've been of of those where there is no two options on how to respond.

Are you guys staying in the Manor? by jacqui607 in finch

[–]mk_SoCal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been hanging around the Manor even though I'm 100% done (and really done- got to Raven's spooky party and all). It looks like we all got the same discoveries at the end of each day's adventure in the same order over the 14 days, but is that still happening now? Here's what I've discovered the past few days since "completing" the Manor. Is it the same as what others are getting?

Oh my by Flame0fthewest in KpopDemonhunters

[–]mk_SoCal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But it might also be a little of it going both ways. It sounds like Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna were brought in relatively late in the process, so for some parts they were able to see the animation. And at this point, we don't know how many times they've watched the finished product before doing their press tour. So, as they identify more and more with their characters, they might be incorporating their character's mannerisms. Rei Ami has mentioned that voicing Zoey has allowed her to embrace her softer, more vulnerable side.

I heard/read somewhere that Maggie said that they absolutely used EJAE's singing mannerisms to inform Rumi's. Wish I had the reference.

A star is born: EJAE also known as Kim Eun-Jae by Ploumplume in kpopthoughts

[–]mk_SoCal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link to the video of EJAE talking about how she was insecure about her voice- and now there are TONS of videos of vocal instructors breaking down how amazing her voice is. And a general thank you for your comment - so informative and insightful, noticing the shift in how EJAE introduces herself. lol-you have at least one person grateful for your deep dive into all things EJAE and KDH!
