I'm disappointed in how Neopets has become almost nothing but "buy this thing!" (s!b: try saying that in the neo circles that still exist.)

I am very happy to have places like Grundos Cafe to play around in with my nostalgia goggles on.

I got into the myth of Robin Hood when I was in primary school back in the 90s. The library had this huge book with all the stories and to this day I have never been able to find it. I wish younger me had taken notice of the author and title.

I don't care what all the cool kids say, the Miranda Class is Starfleet's best starship!

This show gave me some really unrealistic expectations of how cool it'd be to have roommates

I'm still struggling with my disappointment

I've come to realize that I love the characters of the Star Wars sequels, but I don't love the plots. The new characters are amazing, but the plots are mostly a boring retread that in some cases retroactively ruin old stories (bringing Palpatine back was just wrong). But I don't like to say it out loud because the haters are terrible and I don't want to be one of them.

While legally this was an important case re: the Stand Your Ground law and I'm glad it got attention and that the shooter got what she deserved, this was a pretty mid documentary. It's mostly bodycam and interrogation room footage. I feel like anyone with moderate skill could've edited this together. This could've been a Youtube video. Not great even by Netflix standards!

Best Character Journeys

[personal profile] philstar22 2025-10-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
What characters do you think go on the most interesting, most complex, or most well-written journey? What characters end up in a completely different place by the end, but it is completely believable how they got there?

Ohh Neopets lol.

Sorry for turning your secret into a secret of my own op but last time I revisited neopets hoping for some fun I got a bunch of 30 to 40 yos ganging up against me cus I "had too many wn pets"

lemme explain. It's gonna sound hilarious because it is.

Neopets have unique names. So as a kid I would look up who created like Goku first and go ohh cool. At one point staff began freeing cool names for the sake of server space and thats called a purge. So around 2012 I stopped playing and just before that there was a purge. I decided to make 8yo me happy by creating a lot of fandom named pets. And then I quit because life got busy and adult

Okay cool. FF to 2023 IIRC I am depressed because of unemployment, job market, harassment, health issues and I tell myself I am going to play a low stakes childhood game for fun and I chose fucking Neopets. Log in and joyfully check my old accounts. They're around yay :) I remember I have a lot of fandom pets but I moved on from some of these fandoms so I go on the pet trading board to try and trade them. Hoping to hear some "omg I love that fandom" and "omg let's trade"

Well that did happen for like 2 days. Then I realized there was a whole economy revolving around pet's names and how fucking serious business it was because people were paying real money for that shit. It's not legal but here we are. Wait there's more, there's hackers living off (like making 6 figures) off neopets hacking. And apparently admins are involved (hii Alice) and its like this super serious business thing. And well I happened to have made all my accounts active again just before a purge so the people who were waiting for my pets to get purged got mad. so a bunch of 30 yo fuckers with money to spend on illegal neopets (??????????) ganged up on my unemployed autistic unhealthy ass because they were jealous. of my neopets' names. in 2024 and I didn't deserve them because I hadn't paid for them or worked hard for them (??????????) and I wasn't one of the Cool Kids or whatever. Lord

My autistic ass trying to be happily nostalgic on a game she loved as a child suddenly disrupted a whole ass black market economy by fucking logging in and trying to make friends wee :3 because I was looking for fucking low stakessssssssssss

So yea that's to say 100% agree with your secret. Somehow that episode made me so Persona Non Grata among wealthy millennials and/or millennials with hacking skills that perhaps it's the reason why they hack into my camera to this day. And I didn't manage to get an invite to grundo's cafe maybe cause of that too. I am fucking telling you I had never had so many people gang up on me for no reason before. And I was the kid playing neopets with pets like Goku. And I got on neopets because they bullied me out of a job. So yeah.

Mine were people who say hi in the hall. They were fine, but we weren’t friends or anything. We were all hermits. At least no one was dirty.

I always liked Spike's character journey. Unrealistic for the real world, but realistic for BTVS.
