I found another version of the mini-throwing I posted about a while ago (I saw someone else doing this, and then tried it out myself). This variation primarily works for bombs but may also work for other things.

This variation has you jump and then throw the bomb while in midair. It may provide more flexibility in the throwing range than the first kind, but I'm not certain. (If you wait until the bomb is completely underneath your character, you can activate it without throwing it any distance at all)

camera tips

i learned that the focus of camera depend on how close your character stands to the camera. if you stand close, the background will be more blurred, than when you are far away

if you take photos of characters upclose, it's recommended to lower field of view. im simple words, low field of view will look more like professional camera (portraits and films are usually shot with low field of view), while high field of view make it look more like it's shot on a phone

if you want all shot to be clear, then disable depth of field

to take shots on football field, stand close to the ball, the camera will move closer

camera sensitivity slider felt like it was made to make camera movement like i had at the end of my video. lower the value for slower movement

most importantly know that a good photo is not about how well it's shot, but about what is happening in it. taking screenshots of your friends standing is already boring. try to capture movement, like things your friends may do in winter cabin.

i hope this post will motivate our friends to take more screenshots on new camera

On Xbox, if you take photos with the in-game camera, they're saved to the game's album, not to the console's storage or a USB drive you've installed. In this case, it's best to save the photo using the share button on the controller. On PC, there's already a screenshot button; I don't know if there's anything for that on PS4 or 5.

For Steam users, a podium folder in files holds all podium shots you clicked and saved on, and all of the photo albums. This is ThisPC>Pictures>RecreateGames>PartyAnimals>(your Party animals ID number)>Podium
I would make sure you pin this folder!!

If you guys look at your emoji wheel, at the bottom of it there is a button where you can scroll through more emojis while your playing. For PSN players you scroll with L1 and R1, for Xbox I think it’s LT and RT but I’m not sure. As for PC players I don’t know, maybe W and E or something like that. Choosing emojis in your profile is still useful as you can input them quicker since it will be the first ones you see when you open up the emoji wheel.

Two tips on Paws and the reward system of treats that some may not be aware of.

The bomb in Paws explodes after the 3rd pulse. So be a bit attentive on what pulse its on. If you do a move as SOON as it gets to you without half a second of hesitation, you're almost always good. If you're gonna cook it, dont let it finish its 3rd pulse!

Treats are rewarded on a 1:7 ratio on your score. So in simple terms, 70 points from winning a game is actually only 10 treats. 21 points (a common score for not winning Paws) is only 3 treats

ToastySTENCH I was wondering how the reward system for treats worked, thanks!

ToastySTENCH

Cirno Another useful piece, since this crossed my mind when I realized with dread how long it's going to take to get enough treats to buy everything. The developers have said somewhere that I can't remember - that the winter cabin skins are not going anywhere and they encouraged people to take their time. They mentioned how they wanted to make the poker yarusa skin achievement-only unlockable. But they admitted that card games are a lot of luck and it doesn't really give a clear path for players to get the achievement. Where as having a high treat price gives players a clear path to follow to unlock it.

ToastySTENCH Good thing that they aren’t going anywhere. I still haven’t gotten Dealer Tiger and that’s the one I’m working towards. But I’m actually gonna save my treats until the anniversary passes. Remember the winter cabin anniversary skins? I believe they could return, but they would change the necklace thing to a “2” instead of “1”

ToastySTENCH

Cirno I wasn't really in winter cabin until probably about March of this year since I was almost purely on quick play, so I don't really remember the limited skins. But damn, maybe I'll save my treats for that. I havent spent any treats except maybe a bit instead of cookies on the small things like a dummy. And I think I'm only half way or a bit more to getting the poker bat. It's honestly dreadful.

ToastySTENCH I’ll show you an image of last years anniversary skins in the offtopic thread to not flood this thread on offtopic things too much.
