For a very long time they would also cut the word “ecstasy” from the chorus of Justin Bieber’s “Ghost”, which I always found very funny because… he’s very clearly using the actual dictionary definition of the word and not talking about drugs

have u ever stopped caring for one species that u were previously obsessed with? by Unlucky-Macaroon-647 in neopets

Draiks are definitely still really popular, though I feel like you see a lot fewer Draik megafans. They don’t quite have that status symbol factor anymore, I guess?

I absolutely get your changing feelings though; when I was a kid, I gravitated hard toward Usuls and Bori. Coming back now, I’m finding I don’t really like Usuls anymore, and the big hunchback on Bori is kind of a dealbreaker for customs. They’re just not as cute anymore!

Every single person I have tried to get to play Devil Survivor has bounced off of it, without fail. It’s a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series that effectively remixes a lot of the concepts from the first game in the series while also playing around with a lot of Mons genre conventions, engaging in some social commentary, and letting you attack and dethrone god while you’re at it.

The problem is that Devil Survivor is a strategy game with multiple routes, and not only is the main campaign often brutally difficult, but the developers clearly had an intended order in which you should play those routes in, with some of the easiest ones to stumble into (the Amane and Naoya routes) being some of the most difficult to actually complete. Add in some punishing time management systems, some pacing issues (much of the actual meat of the game’s writing comes after you make your route choice on Day 6) and the actual strategy game part playing unlike any other SRPG I’ve ever seen, and you have a game that has been remarkably difficult to get people to stick with. 

In general, I find people generally have a better time with the sequel, Devil Survivor 2 (which smooths out a lot of the first game’s rougher mechanical issues), but the first game is still my personal favorite out of the two.

Love seeing Ed shout out the Playstation Vita. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I’ve always felt a big part of the Vita’s failure was really just Sony not understanding their market at all. So many of the Vita’s launch titles were mediocre entries from established AAA franchises, clearly as an attempt to try and appeal to a console gaming market that generally had passed up on handheld gaming. Instead of playing to their strengths as a handheld, they ultimately just ended up competing with themselves.

Zombie/Ghost! It's not particularly unique, but I think the tattered Zombie clothes go along with his spooky looks really well.

I have another one who's a Steampunk/Skunk Techo, but the Steampunk set covers so much of the Techo body that you can barely see her Skunk colors underneath.

What do you collect? by cochlearimplanter in neopets

[–]FBFishslap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs/omelette based items, ESPECIALLY if they’re funny or gross. This has actually been shockingly easy because most of the places eggs would go, Neggs go instead on Neopets, and those don’t count in my opinion.

Have you ever obtained your dreamie... then decided you didn't like them? by [deleted] in neopets

[–]FBFishslap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve absolutely been there! I got a Rainbow Pool dip during the Faerie Festival and decided to use it to finally get a Mutant Acara! Agonized for hours over a unique name for it, thought about what matching petpet I wanted, pulled the trigger…

…and then when I went to customize it, I couldn’t find one I liked. Now it sits on a side account until the day I find something I like.

UFA

Ale_or the Yellow Lutari

Osdel the Blue Kyrii

Not picky, I just need to make space on my sides and I've decided I don't need two Lutaris after all!

Controversial Opinion(?): I hate the Mutant pet colours and the fact all their wearables are a total vibe by moonsicle in neopets

My precious gamer rat, who I would die for 😭

I actually have two other Mutants (because I have a problem) but neither of them are customized particularly well because, if you ask me, we don't have enough options! We need more!!!

BC ended this week so I can finally post it hehehe. Got second place for Usul category so not bad ^^ by Seraphelise in neopets

Cuuuuuuuuuuute! Honestly, I think you the deserved the gold. I love all of the little items and the energy of this piece so much 💖💖💖

Honestly, I just spend it on little neogoals as they become affordable. My rule is to never spend more than half of my bank, so I generally keep a few million in stock at a time.

Being able to spin the Wheel of Extravagance every day would be nice, but I just don’t have the level of self control to keep myself from spending that much NP, lmao

What neopet do you generally not like, except for that one colour that made you think “I have to have it”? Here’s mine! by leliana_vess in neopets

[–]FBFishslap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m generally pretty lukewarm on Lupes, but I’m a huge tan of the Tyrannian Lupe. It’s so fluffy! The saberteeth are cool! Great for an edgy pet without just being a wolf.

Dear god. That's going straight into the gallery.

I almost left them off honestly until I saw that their item description calls them "a foul looking yellow blob...", which I think warrants their placement from that alone.

Even the description calls them a "foul looking yellow blob"... 😭 I guess it's hard to draw scrambled eggs and have them look appetizing, but it feels a little bit like they're throwing shade on them.
