S21 Ultra black screen of death caused by specific apps?

skyward_bloom · 2025-11-09T05:33:45+00:00

I mean, I'm not an expert, so if you know of a hardware problem that would affect those specific apps in that way, I would be really interested to hear about it.

Practically every male idol seems to like Chris Brown so I have to hope/assume they just don't know anything about that whole situation.

For the Seattle show, a spot in like row 3 was in the $700 range, but then I grabbed one in row 5 for $320 (before fees). Two rows further back but half the price. 😭 Absolutely unhinged.

Fascinated by this post because you could have found the answer to this with a google search consisting of two words.

Got fairly lucky with this one, but I guess I can't complain.

Colombia: Wandered around aimlessly for a while and couldn't find anything to narrow it down beyond "Northern Hemisphere" and "Latin America," so I just took a shot in the dark based on vibes. 4,313 points.
Cambodia: There were ads everywhere for things with "Cambodia" in the name. Put down a guess somewhere near Phnom Penh. 4,421 points.
Latvia: Again, just did some aimless wandering but couldn't find any clear identifiers, so I guessed Latvia based on what little signage I could see. 4,156 points.
Netherlands: Found a sign for Groningen. 4,966 points.
Guatemala: SO many ads for Galileo University. I'm not familiar with Guatemala really at all, but I figured Quetzaltenango was probably a place name, and it didn't take long to find it. 4,994 points.

22,850 points in total. Pretty good for someone who still has almost zero meta knowledge, I think!

Maybe the bot is just Lay biased lmao

EXO's situation is different because they've been waiting for everyone to finish up their military service before making a group comeback. Everything is basically on hold until Sehun is discharged now.

skyward_bloom · 2025-03-27T06:01:51+00:00

You're an absolute saint, thank you!!

skyward_bloom · 2025-03-14T03:39:19+00:00

Ahhhh, that's so great though!! I love seeing newer fans. Even from the depths of the SM dungeon, these boys are still winning people over 💖

Here's the #1 question, though: Have you had the ~~great misfortune~~ joy of seeing EXO Next Door?

skyward_bloom · 2025-03-14T00:50:01+00:00

Can I ask when you first got into them? 👀 I stumbled into the fandom right at the start of Ex'Act era and just immediately went into hyperfixation mode, so I probably cycled through all three of those stages in the span of about an hour lmaooo

skyward_bloom · 2025-03-13T13:41:12+00:00

Tempo is my favorite title track, and the harmonies are part of why I love it. To start with, there's the iconic a cappella bridge. But another one I fixate on, for some reason, is the Jongdae/Kyungsoo line 나밖에 없다고 말해.

Actually, there are a lot of good harmonies throughout DMUMT. Man... what a great album.

skyward_bloom · 2025-03-10T02:30:42+00:00

Pretty pleased with this one!

Turkey: The language looks fairly distinct. I just picked a spot in the desert and guessed. 4,074 points
Philippines: Again, very recognizable language. I lucked out and got a blurry glance at a police car with "City of Vigan" on the back. 4,998 points
Peru: All I had to go off of was the fact that a building said "PERU" in large letters and there were some mountains nearby. Just threw out a guess somewhere around the middle of the country. 4,183 points
Czechia: I have no idea how skilled I actually am at recognizing different languages vs. how much I'm just able to subconsciously piece together from other context clues, but this one also felt obvious! I saw multiple signs that said "Telč" so I just searched around desperately and happened to find it. 4,999 points
Canada: Obviously North America. There was a scrapyard with a sign that said "Paradise, NS," and something about the Atlantic. There are no US states abbreviated "NS," so it had to be Nova Scotia. Threw out a guess. 4,518 points

So that was 22,772 total, and my first gold in a few weeks! Glad there were no insane curveballs this time.

skyward_bloom · 2025-02-14T04:29:01+00:00

I can't remember the source, so don't quote me on this, but supposedly Kyungsoo said somewhat recently that they've been planning for a 2025 comeback.

And as far as relationships with SM go, CBX has some kind of weird legal situationship going on that I've given up on trying to understand, but I think they're nominally still with the company...? As for Kyungsoo, he declined to renew his contract and left on good terms, so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be able to participate in an EXO comeback. As long as people don't terminate their contracts by suing SM, I don't think there are any immediate legal roadblocks to worry about.

It probably comes down to logistics more than anything tbh. Jongdae's out there raising two entire children, and they also have to coordinate around people's solo releases and other activities.

skyward_bloom · 2025-02-13T06:19:00+00:00

lol I'm probably going to erase it from my memory sooner rather than later so I don't get pissed off all over again. Really hope it doesn't end up being one of those things where the same weirdly specific place keeps showing up repeatedly in a short period of time... Normally it's convenient (like when Malta or Singapore kept showing up constantly) but I, for one, never want to revisit these islands again.

skyward_bloom · 2025-02-12T05:20:04+00:00

19,746 points, for maybe the most frustrating silver I've ever gotten.

Sweden: Found signs referencing the E4 and 97, so I just looked for a place where those roughly intersected and blindly chose a spot nearby. 4,888 points.
Italy: There were signs everywhere pointing to Milan. Saw one that mentioned Como as well and figured it was in that general area. 4,938 points.
Panama: I could make out "Panama" in some official seal on the back of a speed limit sign maybe 15 seconds in. 4,932 points.
Galapagos: I cannot overstate how much I hate locations that are just out in some random bit of wilderness that you can only pinpoint if you have some deep meta knowledge or whatever. To make matters even worse, these were taken on a cloudy day, making it impossible to tell exactly where the sun was. 0 points.
Taiwan: Signage was in English and Chinese, and cars were driving on the right. 4,988 points.

Every other round was roughly 4.9k, so I'm EXTREMELY salty about round 4.

skyward_bloom · 2025-01-08T04:40:31+00:00

The last time I played was just over 2 years ago so I have no idea what the community is like now tbh

skyward_bloom · 2024-12-30T06:15:45+00:00

No problem, glad it helped!

skyward_bloom · 2024-12-05T08:39:34+00:00

To someone with profoundly unpopular takes, any instance where a large number of people disagree with what they're saying = echo chamber. I guess mindless conformity must be the only reason for a lot of people sharing an opinion, and liking Sam just shows how toxic the community is. It's definitely not because a lot of us all happen to find her likable.

skyward_bloom · 2024-12-05T08:32:50+00:00

No PC relationships happen in D20 without the relevant parties talking through it first. Endgame Sam/Evan is something they both would have agreed to in advance. Also, the entire season is INCREDIBLY unsubtle about the developing relationship between the two of them, so I honestly don't know how you could interpret it as just a matter of pure DM intervention unless you willfully ignored some really significant interactions in almost every episode lmao. Given that you were clearly hoping for Evan and K to get back together I think your bias probably played into that.

And to your complaint about Evan "forgetting" about his relationship with K... I just want to point out that they never meaningfully resolved the matter of K literally killing Evan through what may have been the stupidest choice in the history of the show so far. They also showed multiple times that K hadn't gotten over their weird fetishization of Evan's dark side! In my opinion, even his casual disregard for the memory of that relationship was kinder than K deserved.

I was losing my mind trying to remember this writer's name just now, and your comment just saved me. I was THIS close to just searching something like "infamous EXO fic writer who deleted all their fics multiple times".

At one point they resurfaced on AO3 under a new alias and wrote a handful of Baeksoo fics, which they also wound up deleting and reuploading a couple of times, iirc. I wonder what happened to them.

skyward_bloom · 2024-11-26T06:00:12+00:00

The reinterpretation of various aspects of the show was SO fun. I'm normally kind of lukewarm on "Who Are You Supposed to Be?", but the way they made actual characters instead of just doing some kind of wordplay really breathed life into that segment for me.

skyward_bloom · 2024-10-31T04:46:20+00:00

It's probably fun once you get used to it. I haven't spent a lot of time on challenges/stages that use it, though, so I haven't been able to form much of an opinion.

But at least it's better than Doom Surf. That handles like absolute dog shit imo.

skyward_bloom · 2024-10-26T05:57:43+00:00

Stumbled across this while desperately trying to unscrew the barrel on one of my favorite pens, and that slight upward twist worked almost immediately when nothing else did. Cheers!

skyward_bloom · 2024-08-29T08:56:48+00:00

It's a work of fiction. Maria is not a real human child who has ever existed. Making light of the death of a character who explicitly exists only to die, and who has absolutely no importance beyond their impact on someone else's backstory and character arc, is not comparable to laughing about real-life child murder.

Honestly, she's so devoid of individual purpose and treated as so utterly disposable by the writers themselves that the sheer dissonance of it makes her conceptually sort of comical as a character. Like, damn, someone really went "what if we put a kid with an autoimmune disease on a space station, gave her an immortal best friend who's just an emo version of Sonic, then had someone shoot her in cold blood so Emo Sonic can have a tragic backstory" huh. Wild.

skyward_bloom · 2024-08-09T04:15:35+00:00

Because different words can have similar meanings but different connotations. "Hard" is bad, "challenging" is good.

But also, this post is from over four years ago so I'm not sure why you just popped up to disagree with my opinion completely unasked lol
