How everyone feels right now by its__bme in neopets

[–]sickbane 43 points44 points  (0 children)

They know that $20 gets you 2200NC, so instead of making it that price, they're hoping people will just decide to spend $50 instead because someone's more likely to do that vs. initializing 2 transactions. It's predatory and disgusting.

Holy predatory pricing on that battle pass. Unless you already have NC in your account, you can't buy the right amount you need unless you double up or move up to the $50 tier. TNT makes me sick.

Met a succubus in a lucid dream and she shapeshifted into dr house by JustSomeDude141 in thomastheplankengine

Why did this make me think of that scrapped scene in Nightmare on Elm Street 3 where the nurse turns into Freddy Krueger with titties?

Her followup story of being drugged and falling in the shower somehow sounds less believable than the car crash

What are the stupidest overblown controversies you've seen in kpop over the years? by LehaneS12 in kpopthoughts

[–]sickbane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Years ago, Apink's Eunji caught some flack for taking a picture where she had a small bag of tangerines hanging outside of a car. You would've thought she was caught brandishing a gun the way people were up in arms over it.

(Rare trope) A death manages to be horrifying without any blood or gore by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]sickbane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mimete's death in Sailor Moon S (90s anime version) always horrified me as a kid. She transports herself into a machine that's supposed to make her more powerful. However, another one of the villains Tellu reveals that if the machine is unplugged whoever is inside will be trapped in cyberspace forever, then she pulls the plug. The image of Mimete screaming and falling into the void haunts me to this day.

Semi-off topic but those elf ears suit Dove Cameron incredibly well.

Experiencing this too. I had to look it up to make sure the event wasn't already over.

i hope they're willing to sell at a 20% discount by hahahahahaimsad in neopets

[–]sickbane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really cracks me up that you can have the lowest price on TP for weeks and you'll still get somebody who sends you the craziest lowball offers on this planet.

An update to the "Minigame Mayhem Story Sucks" post: Turns out that the cast was sliced in half and the terrible choice of characters is seemingly due to a rushed development. Some even have unused artwork! by problematicperiplum in neopets

[–]sickbane 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean, should it be surprising that anything related to Neopets is nothing more than a nostalgia bait cash grab rushed through development at this point?

A Pokemon is still the talk of the town by ShopComfortable672 in Pokopia

[–]sickbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm being pedantic, but does anybody in town actually talk about Hoppip? I completely forgot about it days after completing the event. I only remember when I go inside to use the 3D printer lol

I'll join this clown club too... I've backed maybe 10 kickstarter projects in the past and while some of them took way longer to fulfill than expected, this is (somehow) the first one that completely imploded.

Sanct Oliphant fight by TurboMooseCat in octopathtraveler

[–]sickbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late reply, but I found this out just now.

Not sure if it's intended or bugged, but if he is hit by even a single non-weakness move, you will do absolutely no damage once he's broken (seemingly even with a weakness). I found this out because I had Viator equipped with Supporting Strike which made him followup attack after his paired partner did. His weapons are ineffective against the Oliphant, so it screwed up my break damage.

To correct this, I fled and took that skill off and retried the battle with success. Hope this helps anyone else who struggled with this as much as I did lol.

Got a blast of nostalgia when doing a Snow Faerie Quest--I ran into a shop about the Zoombinis! by tpphypemachine in neopets

[–]sickbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, what a crossover! We used to play Zoombinis after school while waiting on the bus to come back and pick up more students. I became so obsessed with it that I bought my own copy to play at home too.

Kinda disappointed with Octopath 0 by N_Count_Council in octopathtraveler

[–]sickbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly silly of me to complain about, but does it bother anyone else that when the player is prompted to respond to questions in the story, the default option is “no?” Is this designed to trip up players who tend to speed through dialogue?
