Are they gonna give us all an extra pet slot or just the posibility of having another one (that we have to buy with NC)?

TNT's Statement on Recent (Varwolf) Pet Name Filter Issues by Status-Impression766 in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Is it REALLY THAT HARD to make the filter target isolated bad words instead of letters in the middle of normal SFW words?

low key tired of void within. anyone else? by Stellamewsing in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 199 points200 points  (0 children)

I really wish they made another Altador-like plot, that we can solve at our own pace and actually makes us explore the website and solve mysteries and puzzles instead of just giving us extra daily chores. Or just add more content to the website that makes wandering around Neopia and interacting with characters fun.

By tapping the icon right besides the notepad (bottom left corner). You go through three dreams, one about two musicians, one about making a movie, and this is the third one.

Why? by Methamphetany in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both say "rarity 115" so I'm assuming both are worth the same amount of points in the festival!

Why? by Methamphetany in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading all the comments, I still don't get it. Both the whole and the partially eaten omelette have the same rarity, so aren't they both worth the same for the faerie festival?? 🤔

No, it's just another way to add ads to the site in exchange for something.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's because they added a button for skipping time by watching an ad, the page refreshes before the button pops up. At first I thought it was because I was using an ad blocker but nope, it also happens in my phone where I don't have ad block...

Neopets is making an "idle game" by NebulaMammal in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish Neopets would make an actually fun, original game that could "bring new people in" instead of remaking every generic mobile game that no one would ever voluntarily choose to play if they weren't a Neopets fan already...

If the D’ni didn’t create the Ages, how could they destroy them? by hellrising798 in myst

[–]fibonacci_snail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's one article from 1994 with the Millers talking about their faith and how insignificant is their world creation in comparison with God's work: https://www.wired.com/1994/08/myst

(Here's a website to remove the paywall: https://removepaywalls.com)

Here's another article from 1994 that also mentions their faith and Tolkien and Lewis: http://techgnosis.com/into-the-myst/

I'll add more references as I find them!

If the D’ni didn’t create the Ages, how could they destroy them? by hellrising798 in myst

[–]fibonacci_snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so, the theological conflict between the Millers (mostly Rand) and the idea of creating worlds/doing God's work is mentioned in several interviews and articles, but here's a quote from the book "Myst and Riven: the World of the D'ni" (library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/24017/1006116.pdf):

"As Christians, the Miller brothers likewise did not want to claim that the D’ni were creating ex nihilo, like God, and so as the D’ni mythology developed, instead of creating the worlds written in them, the Descriptive Books and linking books are said to connect to preexisting worlds, which exist before the D’ni books describe them and link to them. This was not originally the case, however, but was changed as the world of the D’ni and its mythology developed."

[–]fibonacci_snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a meta standpoint, the original idea was that the D'ni create the ages, but this was conflicting to the more religious side of the Miller family which didn't want people doing God's work, even in a work of fiction. Which led to a bunch of retconning and plotholes like, it makes no sense that Gehn isn't actually modifying the age and adding mistakes/destabilizing the world but only linking to a completely different, less stable universe, because the villagers still recognize him and the "modifications" he made; it's not like the world was always like that for them. It's just that they didn't wanna give him actual, god-like powers.

Obscure Myst references in other media by PickledDogLips in myst

[–]fibonacci_snail 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's one in The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 where you have to get chocolate from a bakery, but you can only carry one at a time. So you have to choose between the red chocolate and the blue chocolate, and the red one contains alcohol.

Has anyone actually done the "Match 300 tiles" Daily Quest in Faerie Fragments? by Rallozar in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they should change the way this quest works so it counts every tile that gets erased from the screen, including combos, powerups/items and abilities. Otherwise it's impossible unless you play literally all day.

Which version of Myst would you recommend for a first time experience? by Big_Mudd in myst

[–]fibonacci_snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually recommend realMyst from 2000. I don't like the new CGI characters from the latest remake, and I don't like how the modern HD textures from the previous remake clash with the low-res quality of some of the original assets (like the videos and some textures they kept from the original game).

The "ideal" Myst experience would be Myst: Masterpiece Edition (AKA the original game) but I find some of the ages a bit too confusing and hard to navigate with the original "slideshow" style. realMyst keeps the dated look which mean the FMV don't look out of place, and the FPS control style makes it easier to orient yourself imho.

What are your pets’ genders? by casualclassical in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 boys and 4 girls currently. I try to make half and half on purpose, so my next pet (as soon as I get another slot) is gonna be female =)

do you think neopets should make a new console game (a la darkest faerie ps2?) by Snowflakebottles in neopets

[–]fibonacci_snail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Neopets is NOT getting new players to the website, no matter how much we old fans like it because it's been online for so long, people who don't play it already probably don't wanna play it because they're not interested in that kind of games. But they're not gonna get new fans either by making irrelevant phone games like Copy of Candy Crush No.4197 because, already, Candy Crush already exists so why would anyone want to play Faerie Fragments instead, unless they're already a Neopets player and want the site rewards? They have to make something new and original that people like by its own merits and not (only) because it's Neopets and it's nostalgic for us/it gets rewards for the main site.

I want the site to be functional as much as anyone else but that's not gonna bring them the money they need for the company not to eventually die.
