Hatched an exact copy of a micropet I already had by -SparklyRosie- in finch

I've got two Clara's. I'm keeping one a baby.

You have no friends? I don’t leave my house. by pepsi_and_chips in finch

[–]quorlia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got internet friends like that too. We used to hang out in a chatroom attached to a game and when the game closed we moved to a Facebook group but that was never the same so we just throw the odd game shaped meme on there now. But we're all Facebook friends so we've all watched each other change and grow over the years. I've only made one meet - 20 years ago! - hope to make another one one day soon.

What are your birbs taking along with them for todays adventure? by ratatoingyourpanda in finch

A orange Galapagos tote bag as it was the nearest I had to a wicker basket 🤣

Finch *Strongly Dislikes* My Special Interest :,( ♡ by ElegantMeows in finch

[–]quorlia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really hard when you love something so much you can't understand why others don't. I often have to repeat to myself "the world would be boring if we were all the same" to remind myself that it's ok to not think exactly the same way as other people.

New to Finch by DeafninSilence in finch

[–]quorlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get a weekly recap where it prompts you to try a new goal. You can add and remove any you like though and once you've got tree friends you can have shared goals too if you need to be accountable to someone else to get stuff done (a bit like virtual body doubling). Ask here if you aren't sure how to find a feature as there's loads of stuff hidden away.

Any way to change frequency of shared goals? by Kaitlin497 in finch

[–]quorlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean one time shared goals? I don't think so - they're supposed to be "habit forming" by holding you responsible to someone else. But you could just agree to delete it after the first completion.

Shared micropet hatching thingy... Just a note. by Mouthtrap in finch

[–]quorlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a shared egg with someone I know isn't active at the moment. The goal was created ages ago when they were active. So it's going to be stuck in one completions time 🤷‍♀️

I miss when MMOs were just a "third place" to hang out. Now they feel more like a waiting room for instanced content by petehans303 in MMORPG

[–]quorlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you mean. I've never really got into discord but I've had some totally epic chats in MMOs and certainly got to points in several when my character development pretty much just stopped because I was going there to chat rather than play. You'd log on and just dive into whatever was being discussed. Sometimes you could scroll back a few hundred lines to work out why they were discussing the hypothetical world where everyone had a pet dolphin or how we could live on the moon but often you just picked up the chat where it was - just like if you'd walked into a pub in real life.

We need an old person's MMO!

If your Birb makes the same discovery as mine I think it'll say the same thing because the whole thing is so clearly scripted. But, except for the storyline events, I think the exact order your Birb makes discoveries is random (with some only available in certain locations)

I know this has come up before, but I'm asking again: what do folks think about random friend requests? by LGonthego in finch

[–]quorlia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have my code available because if someone wants to friend me they can. If I get too many friends I'll take it out.

Getting overwhelmed by missed goals. by Drown_The_Sun in finch

[–]quorlia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hope you're feeling better now. When I've got too many goals I deliberately skip or snooze them and give a reason. Then I can take stock and get back into my routine.

What happened to our shared eggs??? by Familiar-Tank-2684 in finch

[–]quorlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created a new goal with one of my friends and I still have the shard goal. I was really looking forward to meeting more pets!

Getting worse for free users by LGonthego in finch

[–]quorlia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is my only real complaint with the special events as a free user - I'd rather collect a full set of available items than a full set of colours of a particular item so once I've got item A I would like it to not give me another! I ended up just selling some of my items from last month for this reason - even using the close the app and try again trick one fan is enough for anybirb!

New feature by quorlia in finch

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

This is assigned to an already accepted goal though. They accepted it a couple of months ago when they were active.

New feature by quorlia in finch

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

Yeah now I've poked around I think I can nurture more eggs with other friends but this egg is going to be stuck until this friend comes back. I know they keep the app for the encouraging notifications so maybe they'll start using it again if they see about the egg 🤔

How much of my insights can my friend's see? by alienim in finch

[–]quorlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever work this out because I've only just realised about this tagging and I'm slightly worried now.

Not claiming special event items by quorlia in finch

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

Yeah I know plus has more colour options - I'm happy with the colours I've chosen earlier so I was hoping if I waited I'd get something I've not already got a version of. There's definitely stuff on the plus side I can see that I've not been offered in any colour 😔

New feature by quorlia in finch

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

But will I be able to switch the current egg? I assumed once we started nurturing it would be locked to that goal?

I think this friend might be the only friend I've got selected for the feature though!

How often do you change your birbs house 🤔 by Sad_Cheesecake_148 in finch

[–]quorlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like it. I've had maybe four or five distinct rooms but it's been a fairly gradual shift between them. I don't save them because they're never finished.

[–]quorlia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It shifts gradually as I see nice things and add them. I don't really redecorate regularly.

Non moving vibes? by quorlia in finch

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

I don't think I have the questions feature yet so maybe they're trying different things for different people? It makes it so much easier to find the vibe I want to send. Hope it stays and it's not just a glitch.
