Current coping mechanism: watching old episodes of MST3K and playing Mewnbase, which I seem to be not very good at (is cute though)

Squeeeeeeeeeze!!! You've been given a hug! Send this to all the people who you think deserve a hug. Let the hugging begin! ♥

Thank you for this <3 I'm not sure who to pay this forward to right now, but hugs to you all.

“I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. I want to grow really old with my wife, Annie, whom I dearly love. I want to see my younger children grow up and to play a role in their character and intellectual development. I want to meet still unconceived grandchildren. There are scientific problems whose outcomes I long to witness—such as the exploration of many of the worlds in our Solar System and the search for life elsewhere. I want to learn how major trends in human history, both hopeful and worrisome, work themselves out: the dangers and promise of our technology, say; the emancipation of women; the growing political, economic, and technological ascendancy of China; interstellar flight. If there were life after death, I might, no matter when I die, satisfy most of these deep curiosities and longings. But if death is nothing more than an endless dreamless sleep, this is a forlorn hope. Maybe this perspective has given me a little extra motivation to stay alive. The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look Death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”

please bring back the real UCs

My first ever Neopet is 23 years old, wooooo

(trying not to be salty that they have still not responded to my support ticket I sent in October 😐)

Submitted my first ticket with Neopet's new support system. :(

(Not for anything fun like recovering an old account - someone got into my current active account and stole shit)

neopets' ruffle game integration just went live

this has also brought back with it the original versions of converted games like ice cream machine (which is more a matter of preference if you prefer the old layout or new layout), to games that are horrendously broken in the converted versions, which means things like:

-you can play igloo garage sale without broken point scaling again

-you can play kass basher without it forgetting your progress on refresh again

-you can play faerie bubbles without getting infinitely looped again

haven't had the chance to playtest all of my old games (except faerie bubbles definitely has some lag on pc), but this is good. it's good. the site is a bit slow and testy right now, though.

Has no-one really done a recreation of Piercing Mildred by now?
