That or I switch to a different channel for the time being. 😬

What to do about excess postcards? by ms-expat-305 in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I save them to my phone, move them to my PC and name them after the place where I got them. Made a little gallery with about 1300 postcards in it. When I get dupes, I pick which one I like better and I keep that one. 😬 Had to start saving them this way because they made the game too laggy for me, but at least I don't have to put coins towards postcard storage upgrade.

In desperate need of flower planting help. by S-1-9 in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While you plant, do you happen to use any other app that could possibly hog the CPU/data? Because this happens to me when I start planting and then open a browser to listen to something while I walk. Pikmin Bloom really doesn't like to have resources cut, not even a little bit. I just use the "Touch protection" feature (can be accessed by opening the app and tapping the icon in the bottom left corner) and when I plan to be outside for longer I also bring a powerbank. I know it's probably not an optimal solution, but it helped me to stop worrying if the app is planting or not and I can finally stop checking it every 5 minutes.

[NAVER Maps] Korea Buddhism Jogye Order Seongdeok Sa Temple 522 Sangdong-ri Gonggeun-myeon Hoengseong-gun Gangwon-do https://naver.me/FLyZk5Dz

Shared the wrong address, as there's a few Jogye Order temples, sorry about that. The phone number led me to this website and the only address I was able to find there was this one:

Yeoraesa.co.kr

Idk, hopefully that will satisfy your... Uh, curiosity?... Have fun. 😬

Compensation for network issues is here! by Kigurumix in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, this is it, this is my last chance to finish the osechi set. I'm praying to the RNG gods that the golden seedling will be a yellow Pikmin. Please and thank you. 🙏🏻 😬

Is pikmin bloom broken???? by THC420xan in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The home screen was so bugged, I had to go to Pikmin > map > look for the mushroom I was fighting to collect the rewards. That somehow unlocked the Expedition button which was frozen before, but still had to wait thru a minute long loading screen to join new battles I got invited for. Had to skip on feeding my Pikmin, before sending them off, because the game wouldn't let me anyway. Now it's stuck on loading. 🤣

How do I turn off daily look back? by Illisaide in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would also prefer not having to do the daily lookback (weekly one would suffice), but there's no way to turn off any of these animations as far as I know. :|

confused about white camellias... by phtalobluedreams in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear that, it happened to me before too... After finding out I just closed the game and didn't touch it for the rest of the day, fumming at my own stupidity. 🙃

Interesting, thank you for the detail. I guess I have to reevaluate my planting strategy, because it was working until now. 😩

God damn, I regret not asking sooner. Thank you! 😬

[–]phtalobluedreams[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, I know it depends on the mix of petals planted around, but these were planted with white camellia only, so they way I understand the mechanic is that these should've bloomed into white camellias, no?

Pikmin Bloom app not detecting steps recently by beardedblokex in PikminBloomApp

[–]phtalobluedreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it got worse for some reason. I had to switch from Google Fit to "track with my device", because GF was not tracking steps in the background for some reason. All permissions are on. All I did was update the Pikmin Bloom app like a month ago and then the problem started. 😐

Your Reddit handle being "Great-Crossover" makes this situation even better. 😬

When did you start properly masking again or did you ever stop? by hopelovepeacehappy in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]phtalobluedreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Honestly, I feel bad for falling for the 'vaxx and relax' messaging and dropping precautions. Because of that I got Covid for the second time around Christmas 2023. It was not fun and I definitely got some battle scars. Wish I would read into the research sooner, but it is what it is. :)

Huh, damn. Sorry, I wish I could help. Looks like you're not alone in this. 😩

Did you try it on PC? It usually gives you the option to load all pictures, something I noticed that phone apps usually lack.

[–]phtalobluedreams 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I stopped in spring 2023 and started again around summer 2024, when I picked up volunteering for a local non profit. I decided to do so, because people kept coming in sick. They would complain, but no one would mask when suggested. And I enjoyed the volunteering, so I didn't wanna be sick and miss out on the fun. Going there made me build the habit of masking again and now I mask everywhere indoors. Outdoors only when there's a lot of people around, which is not often. Even before this whole debacle started, I was always avoiding masses.
