I feel like, for the amount of play-time you have to have on this mode, in order to get 100M, that's kinda insane, 4 gems for getting 100M is wild to me, maybe I'm out of touch or like...greedy (I can't think of the actual word I wanna use rn sorry ๐), but idk if just feels crazy to me, like at that point why bother ๐
I hope that my screen recording has captured what's happening clear enough for everyone, but I'm not really sure what's happening ๐
I *definitely* clicked the Send Gift button, as we saw when my friends list popped up, but then, when I actually "sent" the gift, it told me something went wrong, and so I exited out of the menu. Then, I noticed that it said sold on the Purple Paleontologist shirt, as if I had pressed the Purchase button? Has anyone else seen this happen before?
Also, for extra context: if I was to find another item in the store that this particular friend (the one I tried sending a gift to in the video) didn't own, and tried gifting that, the same thing happens: the first gift clearly didn't go through ๐
Did I break the app ๐
Sorry to any friends of mine and Bigby's, I seemingly can't gift today ๐ฅฒ
I got this today in my furniture shop (see slide One: "You own all daily rotating shop items) and it made me curious, because I knew I had items that I still didn't own
I have trouble processing things sometimes, so I guess I was a little confused. I was hoping someone with more experience on the app could tell me if the items I underlined in red (see slides 2-9) come back SEASONALLY (so for example, the land of sweets furniture near Christmas, the gothic furniture near Halloween maybe, etc), or if they were a one-time claim type situation for the event that month
Also, just to clarify: I'm not asking about JUST the beds: I want every piece of furniture I can possibly get (excluding the superman items as I believe that's the only furniture set that no longer returns to the shop), and so I want to know if these beds AND if the rest of the sets that these beds belong to will return to the shop in the future
I obviously have travel-based furniture to get too, but I'm not worried about that for now, as I know I'll get them eventually
Bonus: if anyone has a full list of every furniture set and every clothing item that WILL NOT RETURN to the shop, that would be SO helpful!! That way, I can tick things off on my own collection list, and keep track easier!
Thanks in advance!
Sorry first of all for the shadows on the page, not sure if it makes it hard to see the details that I want to point out (see below), also sorry for how small the coloured sections are! Just wanted to test the markers for now before I move onto the larger pages!
I bought these Kings Art Acrylic Paint Markers, a 48 pack, for ยฃ10 today: it seemed like such a good deal to me, and I've heard that Kings Art markers are a SUPER good option if you want something high quality but still budget friendly (I could be wrong, I'm no expert! ๐ญ), and I AM really enjoying using them, the colours are so beautiful and they go onto the page so smooth most of the time (see point 2 below), however I've noticed a few things while colouring, and I was hoping some experienced paint marker users could help/offer tips!
I go over the lines SO much. I'm honestly so embarrassed to say this, I feel so childish and just inexperienced, but hopefully this can at least encourage other people not to be embarrassed about colouring mistakes ๐ but I've noticed that with these markers specifically, I'm going over the lines a LOT, and because they're paint markers, it's SO much more noticeable: maybe I've ALWAYS gone over the lines, I don't know ๐ ๐ซฃ but I've never noticed it with my usual type of pens, my Ohuhu Alcohol markers, at least ๐ maybe it's because of the tip, it's not described as a fine tip on the box, like my Ohuhu markers, so maybe that's it? Definitely user error at least ๐ I don't think it helps that this colouring book has super thin line work in places, so I stress about going over lines...which leads to me going over lines ๐
Sometimes the colours dry onto the page super...weird? I REALLY don't know how to put this into words, so I do apologise, but basically: I've noticed that sometimes, after I finished a section on this page, I'd notice these like...tiny dots/clumps or something on the page, maybe fibers from the markers ๐ I'm ASSUMING this is because I'm going over the page/a particular spot too many times, however I'm not sure, this may also have happened with my Ohuhu markers, maybe I've just never noticed, I have no idea if this is solely a paint marker problem lol, also not sure if it'll pick up on this picture, sorry!
I have no idea how to create shadows with these markers ๐ I really hope I don't sound foolish here, but I'm genuinely clueless on how to shade with these paint markers. Maybe I work too slow, but I feel like the paint markers dry SO incredibly fast, and so layering + shading seems super hard to me, as it just looks messy, and kinda leads to that problem mentioned in point 2 ๐ค
Any tips on how to improve my skills using acrylic paint markers would be SO appreciated! Be kind, be constructive through tough love, I don't mind HOW these tips are presented, I can take it ๐ thank you in advance ๐ฅน
I'm not sure if there's a limit to how frequently someone can vent, so I do apologise if I'm coming back too soon after my last post here to vent again ๐ I just had no idea where else to go, and wanted to see if I could find some other people that might relate to my current situation even just a little bit ๐ญ
BUT basically: I go on holiday in 4 days (if we include today), on Saturday the 21st July...my period was supposed to come on the 18th of July ๐ it also sucks because my periods typically last 6-7 days (I promise I'm not referencing the "meme", that's actually how long they last ๐), and so it would've worked perfectly, because by day 4 of my period, it's usually much easier to deal with and makes me way less anxious, so I would've been able to feel confident for the 5-hour car journey, whereas now, I'm absolutely overthinking about that 5-hour car journey, because the thought of my period suddenly starting DURING that car journey is just the worst ๐ and to make it EVEN better, my mother refuses to stop at service stations EVER unless it's genuinely a huge emergency, so it's not like, if it did start, I could ask her to pull over at a service station so I can yknow...sort out the situation ๐
The reason it's so important to me though, that my period started BEFORE this holiday, is because literally 90% of my outfits are white or light coloured :( and so now I'm incredibly anxious because
I don't have enough clothes to REPLACE all of the light clothing with dark clothing
Even if I did, that gives me 3 days to pack, 4 if we include today, and although that sounds like a lot, I am a VERY anxious packer and have to organise things down to every last detail so it takes a lot of energy and right now I do not have that motivation ๐
I bought so many new dresses for this holiday specifically :( and yes, I could wear them at any other time, but I always like to wear nicer, lovely clothing on this holiday every year because our auntie, who lives down south where we're going, will actually be staying in the house we rented and so I want to look good for her I guess, she always dresses amazingly and, not to sound cringy, but I REALLY look up to her especially when it comes to fashion stuff, I need to live up to her outfits ๐โโ๏ธ
So yeah it's a whole thing, I'm just praying my period comes soon :( I know it's probably only late because of the current heatwave in the UK, and despite my lack of knowledge on period things, I know that temperature changes/suddenly heat can make it late sometimes ๐ค and it probably doesn't help that I'm stressing about it being late, as stress can apparently also cause it to be late ๐ maybe that's my solution, stress myself out so much that I can delay my period until the end of my holiday when it won't matter /j it just sucks too because I KNOW periods shouldn't stress me out this much, I get them every month as millions of other women do, I shouldn't be shocked that it's a little unpredictable sometimes, but gosh, it's so annoying, I wish my body would send me a note next time it feels like delaying the whole process, give me a late-date at least ๐ ๐
Does anyone else relate? Or am I talking utter nonsense? ๐
This isn't a joke post or anything btw lol, just genuinely curious and confused
I didn't wanna make this a whole vent post, because it's not that deep lowkey, and everyone involved will forget about it in a day maximum, but long story short: I played a round of beast (in a server with randoms: never met any of them before), managed to freeze this one girl, she accused me of teaming with the highest level in the server (he was like...192, I'm like a lvl 90) because I was apparently targeting and running past him to get to her EVERY time I saw her. I'll also note, I was trying to actively catch the others, I just suck as beast, something which I told the whole server before the round started to warn them that my gameplay might be terrible lol
Also, by my question, I DON'T mean literally avoiding other survivors except the one you're teaming against, and not hitting the other survivors if you see them while running around the map. I more specifically mean, just an example scenario: you run into a room, there's 3 people hacking a computer, so you go and hit the one with the lowest health. Is that targeting + unfair, or is that strategy?
I want to improve my gameplay while actually playing fair, and don't understand if what I was doing was wrong or not ๐ she left right after the game lol, or else I would've asked her myself, I just wanted clarification at that point.
I just wanna say REALLY quick before I explain my thoughts: I am NOT trying to slander the brand! I just overthink a lot of things, and so I wanted to bring my thoughts here in the hopes that someone more experienced in this kind of thing could maybe shed some light on things!
I was scrolling on TikTok, as you do, and I came a cross a video from this brand's account, called Cub Forest, advertising a red panda plushie. (Not sure if I'm allowed to link the TikTok, but if anyone ASKS for the link, I'll paste It into a comment!) It was SO cute and so I figured I'd check out their website, see what other plushies they had, anddd...I don't know ๐
Maybe I'm too skeptical! But I just have a tiny bad feeling ๐ these are all of the reasons why:
A 45cm plushie, a plushie that looks VERY well made mind you, and it's ยฃ45 ๐ค I realise that it's on sale, the original price seems to be ยฃ103, and again, maybe I'm just skeptical, but ยฃ58 off the original price seems like SO much to me ๐ญ the price just feels a little too good to be true, if you know what I mean ๐ค I think the original price, for a plushie that looks as well-crafted as this one, is extremely fair, so I think it's just a little odd to me that SO much has been removed from the original price ๐ค
The layout of the website: I mostly mean this for the 3rd image, but I personally, in my own experiences, have only ever seen websites that aren't exactly selling the product they claim to be using that layout, with the random emojis ๐ I'm not saying emojis are immediately a scam sign, I mean hell, look at any of my posts on Reddit, i literally use emojis a ton, but I don't know, I just felt a little uneasy from my past experiences buying from sites with a layout like that ๐ญ
This links to the first point, but like...maybe I'm missing something, but the random sale is kinda making me wary too, I'd understand if it was like...later in the year, and so they were doing a sale for black friday or whatever, but like...a random mid-summer sale that takes more than FIFTY pounds off the original price, that's genuinely so odd to me, again, not saying the company is necessarily scamming people, I'm probably just overthinking it, but like...that genuinely seems so random to me ๐
I can't find any bad reviews, except for one: I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE for a company to have solely positive reviews, again, I think I'm just wary and overthinking ๐ญ the only bad review I found is from someone talking about the "gimmick" of the plushies: if you sway them in a certain way, the plushie will look like they're moving, and that buyer seemingly didn't know how to do that, so I'd guess user-error? But I can't find a single bad review on the product itself, not the gimmick, and idk, that makes me a little anxious I suppose ๐
Has anyone bought from this company, or heard of them through any customers or anything, seen any of their plushies and what kind of quality they are irl?
I know for a fact that I have more furniture that I need to buy, stuff like secret lab items and jungle items iirc, is anyone else having this happen on their app? ๐ค
They're in order of when I made them, so lemme just add context, mostly for the first one ๐
First Slide: about 2020-2021, this was my first time ever having robux and I just wanted an avatar using accessories (the elf ears and bucket hat ๐ ) that kinda fit in with the aesthetic of that time that *I* often found in games, and I loved frogs at the time so that was my loose-theme
Second Slide: Last year, 2025, to match with my partner who has a Leon Kennedy avatar (Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil in case anyone is unaware!), he used a similar style head for his Leon, so I wanted to match the vibe ๐โโ๏ธ
Third Slide: Literally this week, I'm gonna be honest and say I loved the "retroslop" avatars people used to make, and I wanted one of my own but again, I don't have much robux and can't buy more, so this is the poor man's version, also I couldn't find the accessories I wanted to fit my idea ๐ฎโ๐จ I personally didn't want the fur pieces that a lot of "retroslop" avatars use, but no hate to people that use those!
I've attached an NSFW tag to this post, as there's an image of the spider in question, and I would HATE for anyone to click on this post to read it, and give advice, only to become scared themselves. I'm not too sure how Reddit works entirely, but I'm HOPING that by attaching this NSFW tag, the image will only become clear/not blurry when someone actively CLICKS on it, not when someone simply clicks on the post to read the text, but of course, if this is an issue in the sub and I need to remove the image in order for my post to stay up, I understand! Just figured having a visual image of the thing making me anxious would help people ๐ญ
It all started this morning technically at around 1am: I was going to go into the kitchen from the dining room (which, for further context, is open-plan. The kitchen and dining room are only separated by an archway, with no door, that leads to the kitchen), to clean my water bottle, only to see this absolute beast on the ground ๐ I know my fear is irrational, and I'm being dramatic and silly and all sorts of other things, but I was genuinely so scared, I felt sick :( I looked around (without stepping into the kitchen more than an inch as I was too scared, considering it was on the floor to the left of the archway) for something to place over the spider, like a cup, to contain it, but I decided I just couldn't brave it: I was a coward, and knew I'd never be able to stand that close to a spider to place a glass over it, for fear that it would leap on me or bite me or something ๐ญ
So, I did what I considered the next best solution (it was, in fact, not the next best solution.), and I ran upstairs and knocked on my brother's door so HE could take the spider outside. He proceeds to take FIVE MINUTES to even come out of his room, so of course, by the time we get downstairs, the spider has VANISHED. Gone. Like magic. I was genuinely so so scared at this point, watching my brother walk around the kitchen searching for it, convinced it was going to leap out and surprise-attack me ๐ญ
Fast forward to this morning, I'm exhausted from not sleeping more than an hour last night, from the worry that I'd somehow carried the spider ON me into my bedroom ๐ (I know it's irrational, so I really am sorry if I sound ridiculous ๐ญ) I come downstairs early, at about 7am, my mother and sister were told about the whole ordeal, and they reveal they haven't seen it either. At this stage, I was TRULY panicked: the spider had literally disappeared, in an open-plan section of the house, so it could be ANYWHERE, and everyone was also preparing to go out for the day so I had to be in the house all day, alone, with Godzilla's best friend apparently ๐ ๐ญ
That's just the start honestly, it's now night time (10pm) which worries me even more because spiders come out at night :( and it wouldn't worry me too much IF the room I typically spend my evenings in (the dining room: that's where all of my activities are kept: colouring books, my Xbox, books, etc) wasn't practically a pitch black room, due to the lights being busted and barely emitting any light ๐ญ so now I'm overthinking, worried that this giant THING will, in the dark room, crawl ONTO me and I won't even see it ๐ญ I'm trying to tell myself that the spider probably got back outside, or perhaps went underneath the kitchen cabinets to the small open space there (I don't agree with the use of them, but my mother installed glue traps under there "just in case: as cruel and horrible as it is for the poor thing, a teeny tiny part of me hopes it gets stuck so I don't have to deal with it ๐ญ) I just have no idea what to do honestly, I'm tired of being anxious all day, and, not to sound super like...whiny and lowkey pathetic, but my legs are KILLING me, so much pain, from sitting on my cramped desk chair with my legs practically folded under me all day, because the idea of having my bare legs (because yes, we're also having a heatwave in England: what fun, I wasn't overwhelmed enough ๐) near the floor right now makes me want to simply cry ๐ญ
I don't even know what type of spider it is (I didn't get close enough to find out ๐ญ), I don't know if it bites, how fast it runs, if it jumps, etc, I'm genuinely just so so scared, I genuinely feel sick :( I'm not necessarily looking for advice (but if anyone has any of ANY kind, PLEASE, I'd be so thankful ๐ญ), just venting, because this whole thing has been so stressful :( I'm so tired of having a phobia so bad to the point that I can't live my normal life or do activities to distract myself without freaking out, why couldn't I have had a less common phobia ๐ญ
I do actually have more creations, but these are just all of the ones I could fit onto this Reddit post!
Just a note: I do this for fun, not to make them look good (except the few I used Living the Grid for!), so ignore some of the messy/bad designs: I like 'em that way! It adds character + personality to my island ๐โโ๏ธ
This is a list of everything I created, in case anyone doesn't know what it is they're looking at:
A Jake the Dog Corn Dog (Jake the Dog from Adventure Time, but as a corn dog, just to clarify) - I decided to call it a Jake Dog for simplicity ๐โโ๏ธ
One of those SpongeBob Popsicles that you buy, only to open it up and see that it just DOESN'T look quite right: typically one of the eyes is missing, it's misshapen, etc. I think I nailed the vibe honestly!
Cadbury's Crunchie Rocks: This was actually my second ever Living the Grid creation, it took HOURS ๐ตโ๐ซ
Nuka Cola Quantum: it glows in the dark, I love it (from Fallout)
Nuka Cola (Also from Fallout)
A Big Shield Pot from Fortnite: don't ask what happened to the bottom left corner, I don't know, and I'm too lazy to edit it ๐ญ
A Kinder Bueno, specifically a White Kinder Bueno: this was my first ever Living the Grid creation, where I was still trying to get used to how it worked!
A Pepsi Max, the Cherry variant
Some...flavoured vape, idek ๐ญ I wanted some sort of vice for my miis, they're going through a lot ๐ตโ๐ซ
An "I am Kenough" hoodie, that I have of course given to my Ken mii ๐โโ๏ธ (from The Barbie Movie ofc, the one released in 2023)
A Burn Book (the Burn Book from Mean Girls)
A Sylvanian Families rabbit, wearing a little strawberry/polka dot dress - I believe they're also called Calico Critters?? Idk I'm from England, sorry ๐ตโ๐ซ
K9, from Doctor Who, everyone's favourite robot dog ๐โโ๏ธ
Tame Impala - Currents, or, as I called it to fit my album theme (you'll understand in a second), Game Impala - Currents
The Wiizer - Blue Album, hopefully you're starting to see the pattern ๐โโ๏ธ
Is that the bite of '87?? Yes, yes it is, except I lowkey gave up towards the end because oh my god this took too long for such a stupid joke ๐ญ (for the few that may not know, when Markiplier, a popular youtuber played FNAF 4 a while ago, there was a very popular clip towards the end of one video in his playthrough where he yells "is that the bite of '87??" So I decided to draw that specific clip because I personally think it's hilarious every time ๐โโ๏ธ)
Soot Sprites, the little creatures that feature in various Studio Ghibli movies, all holding Konpeito I believe (do correct me if I'm wrong ๐ซฃ)
A Pokรฉmon Card: you can decide what Pokรฉmon it is, on the other side lol
TV Girl, Song about Me, or as I called it, T-Wii Girl - Song about Mii ๐โโ๏ธ
Finally, probably my favourite pet purely because of how terrible it is, my seemingly stunned Blue Pikmin: this was before I knew what Living the Grid was, and before I thought to just use pixel art as references ๐ญ (a Blue Pikmin from the game Pikmin btw ๐ซถ)
I didn't even know Pride and Prejudice WAS a discovery, but I'm so glad that it is, and that Bigby, my bird, likes it, because it's always been one of my major interests, I used to watch the '95 show like every single day ๐๐ญ
With all of the vibes we have available to us, I always wonder if anyone else, like me, has certain "rules" (self-set rules, not rules made by the app!) that they follow when sending them back to people!
​
For example, these are certain patterns of behaviour that I've noticed about myself when sending vibes:
​
Summer: I'll ALWAYS send Flowers OR Summer back to the person!
​
Wish: I'll always send either Wish or Encouragement back to the person!
​
Hugs: If I feel less like...accepting of physical-touch that day, I'll send a High Five: I know I'm not ACTUALLY receiving a hug but idk, it just makes me feel better ๐ but if it's a good day I'll send a Hug vibe back!
​
Encouragement: I'll always send either Encouragement or Kudos back to the person! Or, just because I think it's funny idk, I'll send the Dance vibes to people in response ๐ญ
​
Gratitude: This one is more random: because the gratitude can be from anything (from me sending a complimentary vibe, me gifting them, etc), I typically just send ANY vibe after this one, OR if I want to be specific, a Hug or a High Five!
​
Good Morning: Depending on the time when I see it lol, I'll either send Good Morning back or Sweet Dreams!
​
Sweet Dreams: same thing for Good Morning! Or, if it's a bird + person that I'm worried about, or someone that requested a big hug recently, I'll send Comfort!
​
Outfit Love: I'll always either send Outfit Love back, or I'll send Birdhouse Love, because I just don't like not complimenting the person back ๐ญ
​
Flowers: I'll either send Summer, Gratitude, or Flowers back to the person!
​
High Five: I'll typically send High Five back, I think it's just polite idk ๐
​
Kudos: I'll either send Gratitude back, Kudos, Encouragement, or Strength!
​
Strength: I'll either send Encouragement back, or Strength!
​
Dance: I'll either send Encouragement, Flowers (idk I just think it's cute ๐), or Dance back!
​
Hello: Often times I'll send a compliment, so Outfit Love or Birdhouse Love! I don't get many Hello vibes though ๐ญ
​
Calm: I'll typically send Comfort, Calm, or Sweet Dreams, I just think they pair well together ๐โโ๏ธ
​
Thoughts: I'll send either Gratitude, Flowers, or Thoughts back to the person!
​
Comfort: Either Gratitude, Hug, or Comfort back to the person!
​
Water: I'll usually just send Gratitude to this! I never drink enough water so I LOVE the reminder ๐ญ
​
Birdhouse Love: always gotta send a compliment back!
​
Stretch Break: I'll send Stretch Break back, OR I'll send Encouragement for their own stretch break, or I'll send Dance, as I think it's a little funny to imagine my bird dancing as their form of stretch break ๐ญ
​
Does anyone else do anything like this? Have any habits/rules they set for themselves to follow when sending vibes? ๐
I only started playing ftf again like...last year? The year before, something like that, and today I was looking for a hammer set that would match my current avatar, and someone showed me a picture of the Vampiric Corset set. This would match my avatar PERFECTLY, but it's ofc not in the shop. Does it appear in the shop every Halloween, or was it exclusive to a specific Halloween event in the past?
​
Tldr: I really want the Vampiric Corset hammer set, would I need to trade with another player to get it, or could I buy it in an upcoming Halloween event?
I'm genuinely so over dudes being weird in games ๐ this was a dude I didn't even interact with btw (wasn't using voice chat, text chat, etc, I'd literally just joined the server alone to try and get xp for the battle pass rewards), he fully just came up to me and decided this was a good way to spend his time ๐
This clip was taken, seemingly at the end of his "fun", although after he flew away, I'm not sure if his intentions were to come back as I just left the server at that point. But prior to this clip, he'd been harassing and trying to attack me (it's a tycoon btw lol, there's no benefit to attacking people ๐ ) for literally like TWENTY minutes. And using his Force ability (force as in the star wars force, i.e. he was throwing me around with his powers) to throw me either out of my base to shoot me, or into corners to do...THIS stuff. Like are we for real..? So so weird ๐ what does he possibly get out of this ๐
I don't even understand why he did it, I wouldn't say this is necessarily a "feminine" avatar, it was just so uncomfortable, I'm lowkey tired of trying to just exist in male-dominated games, because this ALWAYS happens ๐ like what, am I supposed to just not play a game I like anymore because of this type of thing? It's unfair and gross behaviour.
