I had to restart my island and keep it from progressing because I wanted this video. Last year I did not think of recording it, but this year I was prepared.

Update:

We finished the museum on Shell Isle (island after Nookadoon) and restarted it again as Cool Isle, we still need a tuna to finish the museum. I learned I like it best the first few days when the player does not have one bell to rub against another. However, time moves on and after you get so far it is better to finish it out. Setting the clock to 4:59 am allows you to restart the same day, I did not feel like waiting 2 days for Residential services to upgrade so I used that method to speed it up. Isabelle said we were level 2 and needed more residents. I used the 4:59 am trick to add villagers, after I thought we added the 8th villager Tom Nook said I could not add any more. I figured I screwed it up because I did not talk to Isabelle enough. Prior to adding more villagers She told us we were at level 2 and needed more residents. Anyhow, when I asked she said we were level 5 , a couple hours to go from 2 to 5. We are not creative, so our islands have the basics to be level 5 . We usually use 2 players with nothing to get to level 3, then move our regular players in with their houses. However this time went differently so our regular players came back after reaching level 5.

On our sister Island, my wife's player house has passed 300 thousand score with Happy Home, I thought that was pretty good. She likes to collect photos, I think she has 60+ different villager photos. After she gets their photo she gets rid of them.

However, my favorite scene was Tom Nook shivering one cold morning as he gave the speech. Next time I will make a video.

Still no fix from Google Support, they do not send the transcripts I requested each time I contacted them, I did get an email to rate Google Support and I gave them a poor rating.

Yesterday I tried Google Support yet again, same as before, he wanted me to reboot, remove and install everything including Google account again. After I refused to keep doing the same things over and over again he said he would elevate it to the next level of support and they would contact me via email. I am waiting for the email. It would be nice to be able to purchase the "remove ads" but I do not think that is going to happen any time soon.

It is going on 3 days, every android device registered to me continues to do the same thing, after several hours of removing and installing by direction of Google Support it is still the same. I suspect it has nothing to do with either the app or my devices, I strongly suspect it has to do with the Google payment system not clearing the request. As much as I would like to get it fixed, I really am tired of dealing with Google Support, they are pleasant but worthless.

I was able to contact Google Support the second time using a Chromebook but they dropped me because it was taking me too long to make a screenshot of the problem. It did say I could go through the entire process again.

 

I spent about a half hour with Google support,until he told me to remove and reinstall my Google account and I lost the chat. It took a long time to get to that chat, but I think it is a Google problem not Boost.

Originally, I tried using a family group payment to remove the ads, my wife tried but failed to get it to work. We ended up deleting the family group but now whenever I try to pay it gives me a message to wait or ask the group manager to deny the request - problem is the request is history with no way to access it again. Google support was worthless, had me try different devices and resetting things but I tried until I was cut off after clearing my Google account and starting it again. I will gladly pay but unable to pay, all I get is a message telling me to wait 24 hours, even though it has been over 24 hours.

After we deleted the group , my wife had no trouble paying to remove the ads on her tablet, and as I wrote we deleted the family group, it is gone. Maybe if I could purchase Boost for Lemmy before I install it, things will go better. We both have Samsung S6 lites using LineagesOS 20, updated weekly. I do not think it is the tablets, Google support had me try it on my Chromebook and it was the same.

Once again, I think it is a Google family group payment problem, but thought I better mention it.

We have Nintendo Switch Oled model, but mostly use it connected to a TV.

Nice! Most puzzles we do are from thrift shops, many times they are complete, and occasionally we get one still in the sealed bag.

Please consider posting pictures of your 5000 piece puzzle on the Lemmy Jigsaw Puzzles community. The biggest jigsaw puzzle we did was 2000, I don't think we could do anything bigger than that.

Thanks, I have been reading the information on rtings.com for several days, it is helpful.

[–] jeljr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Thanks for the suggestions, the OLED models look to be the best quality, but I read users that keep their TV on for several hours a day are better off with a QLED. We play ACNH for several hours a day, watch a couple TV shows and have the CCTV cameras on for most of the time we are awake. Maybe 12+ hours a day would be too much for a Oled and we would get screen burn in. On the other hand I saw some like LG have programs that run when the TV is off to keep the burn in from developing. On the other hand they said the old Plasma models were sensitive to screen burn in and ours has been working hard almost every day for several years and only recently started showing signs of burn in that we could see.

 

We are considering replacing our 58" 1080p plasma TV. It has minor to moderate screen burn in from CCTV and hoping the included scrolling program fixes it, but also looking at a new TV. Good upscaling is the most important feature as we still have mostly lower quality videos. Likewise we play ACNH every day so a TV that does good upscaling of the Nintendo Switch is ideal.

If you have any TV recommendations from personal experience, please post it. There is no rush to buy, we are very early in the product research process, and have not yet decided a price range. I did read the budget TV brands do not do a very good job of upscaling. However if ACNH players are using 4K (60 + inch) and happy with their set up, we would like to learn more about it.

Thanks

Joe

I used the Pixelfed web site, do not know about apps for Pixelfed. I signed up, did not follow anyone and hit create a post, when finished it gave me a link to put into the Lemmy the same way I did with Igmur. If Igmur works better for you, I would keep using it until a better app is available.

We saw the notice Boost was going to Lemmy and installed the Boost for Lemmy upgrade app and then signed up for Lemmy. As soon as Boost for Lemmy is released we will get it as an upgrade to our current Boost installation. Our Boost for Reddit still works, perhaps something extra for people that got the upgrade to Lemmy app install? My wife and joined Lemmy to keep using Boost - I hate using the Reddit app. The last day or two, Lemmy has been pretty good, even Jerboa is working OK, just can not do videos easily.

Originally I used Igmur but after reading some of the posts I tried Pixelefed and it seemed as easy as Igmur, you can pick if you want your entire album or just a single video to post, it gives you a link to copy and past into the create post where is says URL and Lemmy updates it. I did not learn how to add a thumbnail, but still looking, I am hoping android Boost for Lemmy will soon be released, it made these things easier on Reddit.
