When I was little, my mom would take the eyes she cut out of the jack-o-lantern and use toothpicks to stick them in the top like ears to make me a little kittied cat. You, too, can do this. Godspeed and good luck.
god i wish i wouldn’t have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you’ve been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.
well.
today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year’s trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)
jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven’t even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.
and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they’re part of the lowly proletariat.
this is a children’s game for children btw.
none of the money is real.
i’m having such a good time.
oh fuck yeah this is the coolest
I have been impressed with the new tnt so far honestly, I can tell they’ve been actually trying to clean the site up.
this isn’t the first time itch.io has had a bundle supporting palestine, and i really hope the current one can reach numbers like this. pleaseee consider purchasing!!!!
This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay “neutral” about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav “defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible” are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:
If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what’s happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay “neutral” and silent on this matter.
If you think that the reason you’re not taking sides is because you don’t really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.
(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren’t. Don’t be a hypocrite, and don’t be ignorant)
There is no “after the revolution.” No “ideal world.” I don’t care how much progress we make, we will always fail someone, hurt someone, and the best thing we can do is accept that, and keep striving to make it better as we go.
And don’t get me wrong, I don’t say this to discourage anyone from trying to make that ideal world. Quite the opposite.
I feel like it’s very naive to continue to approach these big changes we want to make in the world as if there’s an “after it’s all over” when we don’t have to worry about it anymore.
We should always be striving to make life better, even when life seems pretty damn good.
