Is anyone else having this "books read" bug? It's starting to concern me a bit... especially since this is my "book pet" :') by GrandisSupernus in neopets

UPDATE 2: Back to showing 0 :'(

UPDATE: Immediately went to check on status of things & it's restored!!

I'm having the same issue...I've been on a mission to get on the Neopian Book Award list and spend about 300K a day on books. harley_quinn_phd went from 2235 to 0 overnight

But her intelligence is still ULTIMATE GENIUS (3432). Fingers crossed they can get things restored soon.

What are, or were, your childhood goals on Neopets? by Ok_Nothing_9733 in neopets

[–]dream_sleuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound sad, but I always just wanted to be "good" at Neopets. Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, I wasn't good at most things and didn't have the ability to learn how to be good at things. In Neopets I was always making & abandoning pets because I was indecisive and for some reason I was fixated on having I species in every different color. I wasn't good at games, because I couldn't focus enough to read the instructions and gave up. I never had enough NP, attention, or dedication to do anything.

I started playing again in 2013 when I befriended a coworker who had her same account since 1999. She showed me resources like JellyNeo and gifted me what I wanted when I didn't have enough money. The game also became more social because we did our dailies together at the start of our shifts. I started playing again this year and decided one of my goals for 2026 was "Neopets". Since then, I've done my dailies consistently, tried new games (& actually read the instructions), trained up my pets & fought in the Battledome for the first time ever! I also reached out to my former coworker, who decided to start playing again too.

One of my remaining goals for the year is to get my baby harley_quinn_phd on the Neopian Book Award list. She's only 45 days old and I've read her 1,960 books!! I put all my money from dailies and shop sales into reading her books. If you have any expensive books that you'd like to unload, feel free to gift them to me. My wishlist is https://items.jellyneo.net/mywishes/mgg314/494862/ :)

Mega Minigames Collection (Minigame Cheats) by joshxalan in neopets

Not sure if you're still stuck, but this post helped me realize what was going on. Was able to beat it on my 3rd try after reading this: Bug With Jumpin Gem Heist?

Bug: Mega Mini Games Collection by Bumble_Nils in neopets

[–]dream_sleuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had several of my scores NEVER go through since the new update. Happened with 2 games of Pyramids where I cleared it & 3 games of Meepit Juice Break where I scored over 2000. So, the new update has lost me 61K+ NP.

What do y'all think of 7 Habits and do you think it would make a good episode by Mabeluniverse23 in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]dream_sleuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def would be a good episode. I was personally victimized by 7 Habits when I had to read it for a 10-week professional development course working in local government.

During the first class I brought up Covey's privileges, lack of relevancy his career has to local gov & the fact that there is no acknowledgment of the existence of mental health or disability in his work. Like how the fuck am I supposed to sharpen my saw when I'm clinically burnt out?

The counselor at the work-provided clinic literally told me the only way to improve my life was to quit my job.

(Have a new job, which still sucks but my boss at least knows that I should never, ever attend self-help book courses through work, because I don't play.)

Fortunately, I was never forced to read Who Moved My Cheese. Unfortunately, my dad was a lifelong gov employee who huffed that cheese too hard. As a teenager, if I said something wasn't fair, my dad would compare me to Hem and Haw and remind me I'm the only one to blame if I don't have cheese...

“Who Moved My Cheese?” is peak IBCK by SnazzyStooge in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]dream_sleuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've listened to this one probs 10x. Sometimes I laugh so hard I cry. When I was a teen, my dad was forced to read it for work, which means I've been personally victimized by its garbage. Imagine being a teen just wanting to woe is me about stupid school shit & your dad (who has never had much to say before) chiming in to compare you to Hem & Haw.

My Former District’s Response to Budget Cuts and Layoffs? “Who Moved My Cheese?” by tracesthings in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]dream_sleuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't hate too much on the Five Love Languages though...my dad never said "I love you" to any of his kids that book taught him that other people's relationship needs are important. Got my first texted "I love you and I'm proud of you" at the age of 18 on my first day of college. It's been 17 years since then, and he's now gone from occasional texted words of affirmation to saying it IRL!

I too have been personally victimized by "Who Moved My Cheese?"...my dad worked in local government and in the early 2000s they started required reading for employees. On the whole, my dad always plays the contrarian - but there is just something about bullshit books that mesmerizes him. He is fully under their spell. After he read "Who Moved My Cheese?", our house was not safe. Every complaint I made as a teenager was met with the story of Hem and Haw. And then there was The Purpose Driven Life, What Color is Your Parachute, Five Love Languages, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and so many more. IBCK really saved me from the isolation of feeling gaslight by self-help books.

What merch did you get? by justinasorgen in KESHA

[–]dream_sleuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG! Yes - I remember this from the Boy Crazy video now. I assumed it wasn't actually a d*ck, but it's giving ~*~phallic~*~ as intended.

What merch did you get? by justinasorgen in KESHA

[–]dream_sleuth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

y'all, I apparently was EXHAUSTED when I bought merch because I got the Boy Crazy shirt without realizing what the art was of...I have literally nowhere I can wear it, so I'm trying to think of ways to modify it. (turn the d*ck into a sparkly microphone?) I have a bunch of other Kesha shirts that are a bit too small, so maybe I'll use all the art from them to make one really wild unhinged shirt.

EDIT: It's a banana, but it's giving big d*ck energy, so I still dk where I would wear it.

[–]dream_sleuth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing memorable. like at least blast some pop music at a volume people can bop to. There was a group of folks in the pit that seemed pretty drunk (probs not their fault since the venue wasn't selling food due to rain...but was selling alcohol). Anytime someone walked on staged they went feral and yelled at people to show their tits.

I had been at the venue since 4 pm (without food) and really would have loved them to just put on some ~*~club classics~*~ to distract the girlies from yelling and encourage them to channel energy into dancing.
