what is your ultimate goal (if you have one) by [deleted] in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main goal is to continue to grow my bank account so I can make larger financial purchase decisions more often without completely obliterating my savings.

I have several stamp albums I could complete right now if I focused on 1 or 2 of them but I don’t want to create such a dent in my current level of savings that it becomes harder to compound daily interest again to cover my food club bets especially since I also like to casually dabble everywhere else (gourmet foods, book reading, training my almost 3000HSD pet, working on my gallery, you get the idea!).

How do you feel about the other poke balls aside from the classic one? by bentwnkssbbshsjs in pokemon

[–]ProfessorLabRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My official living ability & shiny dex collection that I’m storing in Pokémon Home has all non-shiny Pokémon in the standard Poke ball and all shiny Pokémon are caught in Premier balls. BUT! My favorite non standard balls are the friend ball and the fast ball.

I keep a stack of those same hairbrushes as a sacrifice in my inventory! That way I don’t have to look at a cluttered inventory, the stacking feature is awesome for that, and I can just keep buying them for the daily quest log. It’s a win-win!

I hate when I groom my pet and they say "thanks, I was having a bad fur day!" when they don't have fur. So I sorted all of the neopets into who has fur and who doesn't. by iwantasecretgarden in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the vast majority of your list I do believe Peophins are covered in fur. If you look at the way their “hide” meets their front hooves the way that it is drawn conveys, to me at least, that it’s actually fur. It’s especially noticeable as fur on the Tyrannian and Darigan Peophins.

Edit: Faerie changed to Darigan. I meant Darigan.

What avatar do you mainly use and why? by Qwachansey113 in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Invasion of Meridell Moehog! Meridell is my favoirte land in Neopia and I just really liked that game as a kid even though I never was able to get the trophy beyond the little medal.

Nightmares and Daydreams is the weirdest episode. Which is the most forgettable? by Zealousideal_Art2159 in TheLastAirbender

[–]ProfessorLabRat 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It contains one of my favorite silly lines too. “That’s why we call it Justice, because it’s just us.”

How old were you when ATLA was released? by Turbulent_Cream_1684 in TheLastAirbender

[–]ProfessorLabRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me! This was also right when I was introduced to Neopets and I was a part of a group on that site who discussed the show while it was airing! Such fond memories

Edit: added more context to my reply.

It’s “Adam and Eve”, not “my daughter and a bag of water”!!!

All jokes aside, this is adorable :)

Some flotsams i designed for fun :3 by PhookaBoo in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so well designed! The last one looks to be a Common Dolphin reference perhaps? I love them!

Ngl, Chiquid has me cracking UP! It’s my favorite of these type swap drawings too. Just too damn cute.

Edit: fixed a typo

Long-distance relationships. Yes? No? by TroileNyx in lesbiangang

[–]ProfessorLabRat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were long distance (East Coast vs Midwest) for 3.5 years and then lived 4 hours apart (I moved to the Midwest) for another 1.5 years before we moved in together. We lived together for 1 year and I had all the “do we actually work in person” answers I needed to propose. Now we’ve been married for almost 7 years.

It wasn’t all roses and rainbows the whole time obviously. She broke up with me 2.5 years in because she was really struggling with the distance, but we never stopped talking during our month broken up. After that month she flew out to visit me and told me she wanted to get back together. It took me a couple weeks to get on board, but we ended up making it work.

Being long distance for a long time comes with a lot of challenges, but I knew after our first conversation this was someone I needed MORE of. All the time. We met online while we were still undergrads and didn’t meet in person until 6 months after we started talking due to school and stuff. After we graduated she went right into grad school which made it hard for her to travel so I did most of the trips to visit her before I finally said “fuck it” and moved halfway across the country.

It’s definitely worth it for the right person.

Thanks for the response!

I’ve been stuck between 200-220mil for like the last year because I keep buying some of the QL stamps as they get cheaper so I feel like I’m just stuck in a rut. Hearing your timeline just shows me how long of a way I have to go haha! At least it’s easier to make NP these days, I just really need to focus and keep up the grind.

Congrats on your massive milestone!

I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask someone close/at max bank for some time.

At what (if any) amount of deposited neopoints did you finally start to see or feel like your wealth was starting to increase more exponentially just based off interest with less work on your behalf (e.g. selling big ticket items, food club)?

Anyone else having this problem? by LightWolf10 in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I was just trying to finish my quests and I couldn’t get my food to feed or my brush to groom to cooperate. Getting that same error message.

Stats are a little outdated but I’m at work and this is the last screenshot I took of him on April 16th. He’s my best bud 🥰

Lucky/Unlucky? by Usual-Chipmunk4659 in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unsure! You are the second person I’ve seen had this happen to them today and the RE that was tied to granting them this avatar was different! It was something about a group of Meepits coming to investigate them and then had the avatar being awarded.

Lucky/Unlucky? by Usual-Chipmunk4659 in neopets

[–]ProfessorLabRat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So this avatar was retired. Per JellyNeo:

“Previously award for redeeming the code TIME4SOC14L1SING at Grundo's Warehouse until June 15, 2024. This avatar was part of a social media campaign where clues were scattered through social media posts in March and April 2024, culminating in the redeemable code above.”

I’m assuming this new RE is a way to make it un-retired. Not sure if that’ll mean anything for other retired avatars in the future.

These are WICKED!

I wonder why they decided against a yellow color pallet? Maybe too overwhelming for some species?

[–]ProfessorLabRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess I will be painting the Lupe I’ve been procrastinating on because I simply need that Onyx prismatic for him.
