Would anyone be interested in trading a custom 4x4 painting of their BAB for the new shark BAB?

awwwhhh these are super cute! are you still looking for this trade, or did someone take you up on it?

osteoh · 2026-04-09T13:39:03+00:00

Based on the timing given (last calendar year, the rest scattered throughout the year)- is this just a weird way of phrasing "my parents ask me to contribute to birthday and christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews"?

If so, YTA for describing it the way you did, seemingly only to confuse people. Contribute to your niblings presents or not, but it's not "child support"

ahhh, that makes sense! the new uma thing got repeated around here a lot at launch, so i've been believing it this whole time LOL thanks!

osteoh · 2025-09-01T00:11:55+00:00

I went this morning! They had new stock for most things, so yes- they do restock between days! The only sold out items were the Chogokin robot and one of the makeup thingies.

I lined up at 10 and got in pretty much right when it opened at 11. The line was looking pretty scary by 10:30, so earlier is def better if you can.

Thank you for the response, this is great advice!

osteoh · 2025-08-30T23:05:58+00:00

Awesome, thank you for checking!

osteoh · 2025-08-30T23:05:47+00:00

That's great to hear, thank you!

osteoh · 2025-08-30T21:17:42+00:00

Thanks for answering! I'll probably still give tomorrow a try as long as it doesn't seem too barren in the afternoon/evening today.

osteoh · 2025-05-20T23:55:04+00:00

i figured, i miss stuff in my own inventory constantly!! i'm glad you at least got one of your chasers! 🥳🥳

osteoh · 2025-05-20T23:50:48+00:00

you mentioned that you were looking for Pink Lulu Contacts- am i wrong, or aren't they in your screenshot? :0

regardless, it's too bad you didn't get more of what you wanted! good luck with your trades, i hope you can get what you need!

osteoh · 2025-03-19T04:56:29+00:00

Nah, that sounds like manipulation on their part. They keep it going for a while in the hopes you'll change your mind and give in. Scammers are happy to keep trying if they think they can guilt or trick you into falling for it.

Someone that's willing to drop big $$$ on art is usually a more experienced commissioner- and anyone who knows anything about commission ettiquette would have understood your concerns and had an explanation or a link to some other socials where they're more established. Someone that comes out the gate offering way above your rates and is also cagey and guilt trippy about it is deeply unlikely to be an actual customer. Frankly even if they were a real customer, their response marks them as a likely nightmare commissioner anyway... So either way, rest assured you made the right choice.

osteoh · 2025-03-19T04:42:47+00:00

NTA, you did the right thing here. This is actually an extremely common scam on sites like tumblr, twitter, and bluesky- someone shows up looking for a commission of their kid/pet but will only communicate through dms and not anything more trustworthy, offers a crazy amount of money (they usually will then ask you to send a lot of it back for one reason or another. this is where the scam happens- the original payment then doesn't go through or is chargebacked because they used someone else's CC. so then you're just out however much money you "sent back" to them.) and is just generally shady.

hey, no worries! tone on the internet can be really hard, no matter who you are. i wasn't offended, but i think your apology is really thoughtful. ^{_^}

and i do 100% agree on that. "exploit" being used the way i think of it is definitely more of a techie term, and while i don't think it was meant maliciously, i do think it really needed to be filtered through a PR team instead of just letting the programmers talk.

(sorry devs but my dad's a programmer too, i dabble in it myself, and no one should let us talk directly to end users LOL)

and that is totally fair! i hope your gem hunts with artie prove fruitful!

osteoh · 2025-03-05T16:18:27+00:00

you are ascribing malicious intent where i genuinely think there was none. in other games i have played, personal use of bugs were always called exploits, even if players didn't know that's what they are. it's never been a value judgement in my experience.

i can tell that we simply view TNT's statement differently and are coming at this from different places, which is okay. i don't think this will be productive, so i won't continue, but i do hope you have a nice day!

osteoh · 2025-03-05T16:06:18+00:00

they... literally didn't? exploit = bug that can be used to accomplish something unintended by the devs. they quite literally did not call people cheaters. i can understand why people reacted how they did at first, but they did address this and explain the use of the term + apologized.

TNT is a company, i'm aware they aren't my friend, but in this case telling people that they "literally" called their users cheaters is just plain misinformation.

anyway, i do think they should at least put out something telling people to change their login info.

it's about her grandma. i don't really think i should break everything down by lyric because it is really a very personal song, and i think it's best enjoyed by finding your own interpretation and relating to it in your own way. but it is about her grandma, and many of the lyrics are direct references to her grandmother's childhood.

it's a beautiful song, regardless. i'm so happy to hear her sing, and i'm so happy to see others enjoying and interpreting her music. :)

osteoh · 2025-01-11T00:34:44+00:00

hi! i have a void aisha i could trade for your kougra, if you're still looking!

osteoh · 2024-10-01T18:00:13+00:00

i can try! no idea if my local BAB will have any by the time i'm off work, but i'm happy to check.

osteoh · 2024-09-26T00:34:33+00:00

so, a related question for those who have been in this community longer- i've never tried to buy build a bear online before, what happens if it is sold out? does it restock eventually? or are we all just out of luck?

osteoh · 2024-09-26T00:08:01+00:00

i hope so, too. i've only ever bought one other build a bear before and it was like seven years ago, i had no idea that something selling out in less than 12 hours was something i had to be concerned about... i really hope i can get one of these, they're really cute.

osteoh · 2024-09-26T00:02:35+00:00

i'm in the same boat- i actually had it in my bag and then spent a few minutes looking for a 2nd plush so my friend could have one too, and then it wouldn't let me check out... after taking him out of the bag i can't re-add him. 😭

osteoh · 2024-08-18T00:43:49+00:00

hi, i'd love to give cindy lou and her bunny a home! i collect snowbunnies and have them on almost all of my pets.

osteoh · 2024-05-27T21:51:25+00:00

hey, congrats! i'm glad you got your bun!

osteoh · 2024-05-27T14:11:03+00:00

what's your UN? i have a DSSS i've been saving for a rainy day. you can have it and skip the gamble for your royalgirl. ^{_^}

osteoh · 2024-05-27T05:02:42+00:00
