You should still be able to find your blog through your profile! :0 If you go there and click "Statistics" and then scroll down, there should be a link to your blog there. You mentioned being able to find it through your profile before, but can you not see your own entries..? I deleted mine ages ago but can still see+undelete them if I go through the opage.

And yes! I didn't want new gens till 2023 so they could have more time to work on them but the grass cat is just so...sooo cute. The game doesn't look too polished and has some lag, but I hope if they chose to release it end of 2022, they'd make it look a bit better by then. All I can do is hope.

Not a thing anymore sadly! They weren't used much even years ago, so we phased them out. Maybe we'll consider bringing them back once we move to XenForo though but that won't be for a little while :< I never got too into blogs so I don't feel their loss too much but yeah, seems like most people just prefer to post around the site rather than post blogs nowadays, so we axed them for now ~

Ahaha yeah.. I feel bad cause I assume the actual Neopets staff don't want NFTs but are forced to listen to the higher ups who push for it. There were a lot of anti-NFT pictures winning the art contests and whatnot, and it was really satisfying to see them in the winner pages. Sadly it doesn't seem like it will ever stop though, people voiced their concerns a lot and they just ignored it. I can only hope they put resources into making the site good too. ><

It would've been hilarious, like omg u stink we run!! lmao

It's getting updated still actually. :O But they're taking a bit longer than expected to update the entire site to be Flash-free I think, it's still a bit buggy in places. But the NFT is disgusting yeah, fortunately at least it's not the main Neopets staff working on it but a third party (though they're endorsed/supported by Neopets itself). Sigh. NFTs really need to just burn in a fire lol.

Tell me about it, why didn't they make it do that? Or at least make the overworld Pokémon disappear entirely during the repel duration cause they couldn't stand the smell and ran away! lmao

and omg. That is mega nostalgia. Sometimes I go looking up old stuff for the nostalgia... things like Neopets, MySpace, old Geocites websites, Quizilla, and a bunch of stuff that I really miss sometimes. It's fun to see but also makes me a bit sad lol.

The Wild Area was good, but I didn't like the overworld encounters being in the overworld itself sometimes since repels didn't work on them. Sometimes I just want to run through the gras without a Pokémon bumping into me! but I can still deal with it lol

Yeah... the Link's Awakening style was nicer, it was so smooth and pretty, and the chibis looked good too. BDSP's chibis are a bit more low quality and weird. D: I agree that it looked better in pixel, being very faithful to old games is not always a good thing lol.

And yes!! Absolutely. Legends just feels like such an open game and this is exactly where I'd want the series to head if I could pick ;w;

BDSP got mixed reviews yeah. I liked it, but Legends is the infinitely funner game if I had to recommend one of the two. I hope the next game we get will look nice also, and not in a chibi style or anything like that.. ;__;' SwSh style is preferable if I had to pick tbh

It's pretty big yeah! But not in a bad way - I didn't like BotW gameplay because it was too massive and got bored of Genshin Impact quickly for the same reason, the world was just too big/repetitive. But Legends has so many Pokémon and items everywhere and it's just a lot of fun to go pretty much everywhere. I absolutely love it.

yeah.. BDSP were fun and I loved the Underground, but Legends is such a massive step in. Going from small dollhouse chibi world to a more open-world exploration makes Sinnoh look so much grander and more impressive <3

n yes Cynda is awesome, I picked him!!

If you're looking for a fresh experience that's different from the usual formula, I recommend Legends tbh. :3 Not as easy as your main series game tends to be either. But if you want traditional gameplay that is totally valid... I hope we'll get something you will want to play soon. The 3DS games were absolutely amazing despite their flaws, and omg 2k hours?! that's just crazy impressive!! I think my most was maybe 200-300 hours? can't remember ahshd

But yes, Legends has been lovely! I honestly don't remember the last time I enjoyed a Pokémon game this much. Do love them all don't get me wrong, but I think this is the type of game a lot of older fans who have played most would appreciate. It's fresh and fun in all the right ways, not as easy, more convenient (can change nickname and swap your 4 moves on the fly), the dialogue is hilarious and a little dark sometimes (they don't shy away from saying how terrifying Pokémon are and that people can die because of them), and the world is honestly massive. I would totally recommend it.

Yooo what's going on! It's nice to see you back!

I'm well, doing the same grind as always haha. What about you?

Omg?! I'm so sorry..., that's horrible. All the best to their families, I can't even begin to imagine. :s 2 of my friends in NYC lost their mothers to COVID and I can't even imagine how difficult that will be and how much it will weigh on them their whole lives. My family had COVID twice, the second time just a few weeks ago, and that includes my 91 year old grandparent but he has survived it twice now and I am very thankful. ><

Have you been playing Legends by the way? <3 (Do you still play Pokémon omg?)

Ahhh omg I dunno if I'd be able to be in the office for most of COVID. Think I'd get too paranoid at points, especially since my grandparent is 91 and potentially bringing it home to him would be dangerous ;o;

omg rip I hope you slept some ahhh

that sucks /: I heard in NYC where I'm from there are a ton of open positions but not enough people applying for them apparently, because a lot of people no longer want to work full-time in the office if it's not wfh or work in retail/fast food/customer service etc. It's pretty crazy if true. I have an income stream from home right now but can't imagine how difficult it might be when/if I have to start applying again... ugh

Hope you find something better though. Really sucks when you're paid so little, especially right now during a pandemic. ><

aaaa I'm sorry that is stressful ;__; But I guess you're earning an income this time around, being a student and have to go to school + do homework at home is just... I never wanna go back to uni lol. Not my thing

I hope you like what you do to some extent though!! <3

Ohh really? for me in school days off meant homework or projects etc, what do you do for work that makes you have more work to do when home? D:

Ahaha I don't like masks because my skin is sensitive so I get red/break out more easily when wearing them ;__; will do it for safety anyway of course, but it does stink to know I have to struggle like that. Fortunately it could be so much worse.
omg trade your cold for my 38c weather!!! only yes answer is allowed

thanks, I hope so too! It can take as long as 2 years apparently, hopefully not the case for me orz

it's been okay!! Hot weather since it's summer here which is a bummer, I don't like the heat orz. But otherwise okay ~ Mask mandates back here again after some COVID hotspots were identified. Borders open up more on Feb 5 too.. hopefully won't get too crazy here ;_; How about there?

Omg all the best! Seems stressful, work is especially hard right now with COVID. Glad some good things have happened though <3

and ahaha yeah I'm n Australia now so timezones are a little crazy lol. Moved across countries is the main new thing, also got married, etc etc!! busy overseas life ahh. Waiting for my visa application to be approved... hopefully soon. Already been a few months. ~_~

ahh it's been ages omg!! I'm doing okay, relaxing and playing Pokémon GO :D how are you?! anything new?
