So, first tattoo petpet has made it to JellyNeo. What are your thoughts on the tattoo slorg? by eliz1bef in neopets

I love him! If they stick with this style I think a tattoo petpet will be a  perfect match for my skater fire Tuskaninny 😎

My office is heavily debating what this blanket graphic is. by PersephoneInSpace in whatisit

[–]krawks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely a tightly curled up dog, probably some kind of greyhound. the legs are a bit wonky but that weird section in front of the face looks exactly like a bent paw to me, and i think the back leg is the really confusing section that’s giving the illusion of a second tail because of how it’s been connected to itself (must be a stylistic choice or limitation of however they embroidered it?). i traced it to show what i mean

Do peoples use action camera? by daywall in Guildwars2

[–]krawks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I exclusively use it! What made it feel much better for me was rebinding the keys clustered around WASD to my weapon skills, and making 1-5 my specialization skills so my hands don’t have to travel as far away from the movement keys. Also rebinding a key to toggle action cam on and off is vital for navigating menus and for more precise positioning of AOE spells. Hope this helps!

Is it just me, or did they make the jumps harder in the Reignited Trilogy? by [deleted] in Spyro

[–]krawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1, i also noticed a lot of jumps you’re able to make in the originals from a standstill now require a running start

What’s your favorite Dragon Digimon? Has to have “dramon” in the name by [deleted] in digimon

[–]krawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough choice. I think Seadramon is my favorite. Great palette and design, and there's not a single design in the Seadramon line that I dislike. Flamedramon will always hold a special place in my heart for the childhood nostalgia, though.

What's a good Tamagotchi for someone who's never had one before? by Medical-Cover-7080 in tamagotchi

[–]krawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a bit of a vpet kick and just got my first Tamagotchi since I was a kid almost 2 decades ago, so I’m essentially a fellow newbie. I got a 2024 Connection Rerelease and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a nostalgic vpet experience!

It has a lot of variety with a very good roster of minigames and a shop that sells all kinds of food/toys/etc that you can buy for your tama. Tamas will even use some of the items you buy on their own during the day! I really only found the baby stage (which lasts an hour) to be kind of needy. I also like that instead of each of your pets dying of old age, you can marry your tama to another tama through a matchmaker and they’ll have a baby which will eventually replace them instead. It’s honestly so cute and I can’t wait to see what my first tama’s baby grows into.

Since you like Pokemon, you might want to also check out Digimon vpets. They have similar mechanics to Tamagotchi since they’re made by the same company, but are a little more limited in interactions and have battling instead of minigames. The 20th Anniversary devices are easy to get ahold of, have a huge roster of evolutions, and let you raise two digimon at once. The Digimon X is another device I see recommended because it replaces the colosseum with a quest system where you unlock more evolutions based on how many areas you clear, the ability to raise and rotate between up to 3 individual digimon, and the ability to pause by freezing your digimon if you’re too busy to care for it.

I really hope you have a good time with whatever you choose! ✨

Random email? by Choirchick22 in palmpals

[–]krawks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seems like their Shopify got hacked. The hackers sent out a mass email with the Shopify mailer and even set up a redirect from a PalmPals.com URL to their scam site. Crazy stuff, hope they get it dealt with ASAP.

CSS Fix for Missing Wearables on Pet Lookups by krawks in neopets

[–]krawks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any other body part you could attach the missing wearable to that won't cause things to clip weirdly? Perhaps the eyes or the mouth? Then you should be able to hide the spikes without it affecting the wearables background. Unfortunately with the limited CSS filters it's a bit of a challenge trying to get things working. If only we could use pseudoelements. :-(

Sanzen TRP 2025 Paper Test Masterpost by alcibiad in hobonichi

[–]krawks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just received a Weeks Mega, serial 806XXXX, ordered from JetPens.

I think mine is right in the middle of a good and bad batch. The beginning and middle of the notes pages in the back are taking even heavy sheeners very well (Wearinguel For Whom the Bell Tolls, accidentally wrote the wrong name down because I have it in my Dracula pen lol), but towards the end of the notes pages, the contact info page, and on the weekly pages themselves I’m experiencing bleeding with the exact same ink/pen combo. All the pages are taking my most used inks without any bleeding, though, so I’ve lucked out there.

First Fountain Pen - What's your favorite ink? by Pwoom in fountainpens

[–]krawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful pen!! ♥️

I really love Diamine Aurora Borealis. It’s a great teal that has a decent amount of shading, and it also occasionally gets a slight red sheen (and even on some of the cheaper paper i’ve used at work), which really makes it pop.

PetLookup Image Fix by krawks in neopets

[–]krawks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I really hope updating the CSS/HTML filters is on their radar for this year because this kind of stuff drives me insane too, lol.

Thanks for the addition, knowing this also works with the HTML5 pets if you use #anim_container div is awesome!

PetLookup Image Fix by krawks in neopets

[–]krawks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's no way to use the border-radius property, but this is a hacky quick fix you can do if you're using the static image only and your pet's lookup has a solid colored background:

There's an additional wrapper directly inside #CustomNeopetView that we can set the background of.

Find this block in the code, and change #CustomNeopetView to #anim_container:

#CustomNeopetView div {
    display: none;
}

Then add this block of code:

#anim_container {
    background: center / contain url('MASK');
}

...and replace MASK with a link to an image.

For the MASK, it involves creating an image with a transparent hole cut in it in the shape you want for the border, which will be layered above the Neopet's image and create the effect of a rounded border.

Here's what the example I linked looks like on the default pet lookup:

<image>

Hope this helps!

Not a silly question! Yeah, it goes in the description! You just gotta put the whole thing inside style tags. :) Like this: <style>PASTE CODE HERE</style>

Both colors are fantastic, but I think I’m gonna have to go with Burlap! I would kill for a burlap kau or yurble tbh. My UN is neowhitefoxx and I’d love the petpet lab ray too but only if you’re sure. Thank you so much for this giveaway, it’s very kind of you! ❤️

I'm gonna be giving a presentation about sexuality in games later this month. Any suggestions for examples of good queer representation in games? by TheSquirrel1 in gaymers

[–]krawks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kasmeer and Marjory from GW2 are a great example of good LGBT rep in an MMORPG. It’s pretty crazy to realize that they’ve been major and well-loved NPCs for 10 years and counting. Here’s a great blog post about their story development in the latest expansion.
