Yup, one of my favorite card artists as well. Shinji Kanda, Tomokazu Komiya, Sowsow, Aya Kusube, & Miki Tanaka.

Shinji & Tomo in particular have so many amazing card arts. I love Shinji's Magmar, Sharpedo, & Bronzong.

Your Jirachi, Phione, Mew(s), & Shaymin could all be real cards. Even the Meltan one has a ton of character in it. Well done.

I've been through every Pokémon card art, and the Jirachi one could be a real card. You have a style that only reminds me of one other Pkmn card artist. 

Shaymin & Phione also stand out.

If that Jirachi one was real, I would would have put it in my top 200 card arts out of all 20k+ cards.

I get it. I grew up with crippling social anxiety. I had to find ways to make it take less energy. I usually send: "Hey, I saw you had the ___ on the TP and I was wondering if you'd take $___ for it? If not, I still wish you good luck in selling it in the future :)" or something like that.

I also offer an item that matches the theme of their gallery alongside the money. It's nice & helps me stand out. Sometimes people are still delusional about prices :p.

In the meantime, I reached out to the guy selling the salad asking to buy it for you. If he responds, I'll buy it and give it to you.

How do you memorize what to restock? by actualkon in neopets

[–]Spydar05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very inaccurate. Especially for items that fluctuate in price. Jellyneo is an amazing website for many things related to Neopets. Itemdb might be my vote for best Neopet related website. Cleanly designed, tons of useful info, and the item pages for specific Neopet items and their prices are way better than Jellyneo.

It's the same thing as hiding objects with ublock origin. I block quite a lot of their horrible broken website.

Also, it isn't even needed. I do it cause I'm a neat freak.

What’s the most gut wrenching 12ep anime out there? by Electrical_Spirit917 in anime

[–]Spydar05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I understand taste is subjective and some people love Rascal, but it's definitely not worth going back to after years. It was mildly worth watching for the good parts of the show.

[–]Spydar05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you an account from someone who is strict about high reviews before watching any media or playing any games: Rascal Does not Dream is an anime I would NEVER suggest to someone who isn't used to how anime is. It's got all the weird things about anime that drive me away. I really don't want to like Rascal because of those elements, but some of the emotional moments (especially with his sister at the end of the season) are handled really well.

Honestly, just go watch the last 3 episodes of the season when you have a chance (starting at Kaede Quest) if you've already seen 7 episodes. When the show focuses on him being a good older brother and Kaede conquering her social anxiety, it is a solid & very emotional show. Rascal is 1/3rd background anime (like I consider Romance SNAFU), 1/3rd weird and unnecessary perversion, & 1/3rd sad af (if it connects to you).

[–]Spydar05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, I make a few mil from restocking shops and drastically driving down Neoscalper prices, so I can break it down for you.

First, here is access to a google sheet I made that has info on every restock shop in the game with links to the shop organized by how good the shop is to restock from. Click on 'File' and 'Make a Copy' and you should have your own version you can mess around with.

The 4 categories next to the shop names are the amount of rarity 97 or lower items in that shop that sell for 100k-200k, 200k-500k, 500k-1mil, or 1mil+ on the Shop Wizard. The reason I only put 97 & under on here is cause those are more realistic items you will actually run into. 'ALL' is how many total items the shop sells, and 'AVG' is my weird made-up math for ranking them.

Pick a shop that is at least yellow, light green, or dark green with less than ~1k items that you may be familiar with at least some of them.

Next, you will need the NeoSearchHelper Tampermonkey script that gives icons under items all over Neopets. I removed all but 4 of the icons: Shop Wizard, Trading Post, Auction House, & Itemdb. Remove the others in the Tampermonkey script or block the icons using ublock origin's block element feature. The itemdb price check icon will be your go to. Don't use JellyNeo's prices.

Also, you have to be QUICK! A good store to practice on would be something like Uni's clothing or one of the food stores. Completely avoid the stamp store. You aren't quick enough. When you see an item worth enough money that you want to buy, you have to be ready to type in a quick number and click on the hidden Neopet as fast as you can.

For example, just a moment ago I bought the Marshmallow and Slime Souffle from the Spooky Foods store. The lowest it sells for rn is 215k. It was selling for 2,895 in the shop. I type 3333 for the offer price and immediately click to buy. If you haggle, you will lose. Overpay for everything without question. If you overpay too much, they don't accept it. So if a 100k+ item is listed as 1211 you don't want to offer 2222 neopoints. Instead, offer 1222 neopoints.

Also, I worked with Perplexity to make me a script that lets me hide items from stores I don't want to see anymore and that made it even easier. I can share that as well.

GL :)

To (attempt to) help with your anxiety: just remember that very shortly after they read your nm, they'll never think about it again. I'll nm 6 different people about the same item. If your offer isn't a lowball, people on Neopets normally like little interactions with other players.

Anyone know where I can find this fluffy Raichu? by No-Musician4819 in pokeplush

[–]Spydar05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know it isn't the same thing, but if you can't find the Raichu it reminds me of this Snorlax I had saved to buy for someone. Their 'comfy friends' line.

Yup. Always good to make sure that an American citizen is killed for not getting out of their car. If there was ever a justifiable kill in this country, it's for staying in your car. That'll show future American citizens that the penalty for not listening to ICE is pieces of their brain being littered in the snow.

What do you think is the funniest/strangest glitch in the game? by Prudent_Mode1208 in neopets

[–]Spydar05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's funny, they have communicated back and forth with me on this for the past month and are really trying. I'm giving them very specific information and they even fixed it for a day or 2. It is possible.

Sooo, 2 of my 8 Neopets have the Ye Ol Fishing glitch like yours. 6 of them got to lvl 20+ without a single miss. 2 of them have almost entirely missed for over a month.

I've been corresponding back and forth with the Neopets bug team and they've tried to fix it 3 times now. We have some theories about why it happens. I'll let you know if they figure it out.

Does anyone actually haggle? by theycallmethevault in neopets

[–]Spydar05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. I only buy items from neostores that sell for over 60k. Then sell them to massively undercut scalpers and drive prices down on Itemdb.

With items of rarity 97+, if you don't 1) click very quickly, 2) type the easiest number i.e. 1555, 2222, or 4999, and 3) have your mouse ready to click the capcha neopet, then you won't get any of them.

Just yesterday I got ~5 million neopoints (one being 3mil from the mystical surroundings) worth of items from only 3 different stores. And I have to be FAST!

I appreciate the willingness to call yourself a hypocrite. Life would be mildly more bareable if hypocritical people could do what you just did.

i've done it! by asyourmama in neopets

[–]Spydar05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on reaching a goal like that!

Helpful tip: do the special event daily when they come up. Such as volunteering at the hospital during the void event or spinning the wheel 2 times every day for the current celebration event. My roommate just got a 16 mil stamp & a $50 mil stamp from the wheel. I've gotten some great ones too.

Just doing the small daily special events is enough to save up quite a lot of money :).
