I've noticed they are pretty laggy, but: has anyone else found Kass Basher to be way easier now or just me? I'm consistently getting scores of 1300+ with the bat when my average was usually 800-900. Annoyingly, though, Kass Basher won't remember your previous scores if you close the game's tab and reopen it, so you have to re-unlock the stick and club every time you open the game again. Seems they also increased the amount of NP earned per sent score:

I wish I had that many stockpiled! I'm at two reds atm and I just cancel/restart my course until I get the right ones from my daily battles. I'm noticing a consistent skew in the ones the school asks for vs. the ones I frequently get from the bd: Hopefully tonight once I can try training again it'll ask me for ones I actually have.

Oil Paint would be nicer without the oddly... jarring green mouth and nose contrasting the orange. The outfit is charming though.

Yikes, is that why Vux/Zed spiked from like 20k to 40k+? That's just selfish. It doesn't particularly affect me as I just wait until I get the ones I need from battling, but I feel for everyone who actually has to buy their stones. I typically battle the S750 Kreludan Defender Robot - he's easy enough to one-shot with Lens Flare, even with a low-level battle pet, and provides Neocola tokens in addition to tan/red codestones. Not sure how his payout compares to others like the Koi warrior etc., but I've had decent, steady rewards from him.

Ouch. I've been there - it's rough. Past a certain point I'd honestly just try to powerlevel to 250 and train at the Secret Ninja training school. Even though you'd be paying in reds, the cost of one red would generally be less than the cost of 7-8 codestones. Edit: Maybe not if it's asking for Vux or Zed. YMMV.

Yeah that makes sense. I suppose that's why we don't get username changes and the like either. Oh well, it's a nice thought.

That's actually really cool! I wonder if we might also be able to change things like username or name of pets, although that might be harder for them to change.

This is a pretty good update to their site policy. I appreciate that they're doing this, as well as permitting talk of relationships in general - this in particular was way overdue. I wonder if they'll do other things, like allowing more gender options besides "Male, Female, Other".

I'm going to be finally visiting with my boyfriend from another state for Christmas this year, but only because our covid cases are virtually nil. It's absolutely appalling to see the state of other countries and how transmission of the virus is simply allowed to happen in some locations.

Toy Grarrl kinda looks funny. It's a bit shiny and polished for a plastic toy, I honestly thought it was marble at first. The admiral outfit is nicely done. I like the little details of the stopwatch and the rudder belt buckle.

I got 350 NC from CC this year. It's a nice bonus for sure; I may just spend it on FQ cookies as I never really have interest in customizing.

That is a LOT of items for just one paintbrush! I suppose it makes sense for the Skeith since they do have a lot of body parts to cover, and Stealthy designs are rather complex to begin with.

These are both pretty solid. Some aspects of Stealthy look kinda weird (like the facecloth not totally covering its lower face, or the texture on the shoes) but it's a good design overall. The outfit is super rad; I honestly thought it was a new Royal paint colour cus of how high quality it is.

We waited nearly a month for THIS? I don't even understand what's going on with the design. It isn't coherent whatsoever and just looks like they slapped several random weird attributes on there; it's not even drawn very well and just looks really awkward and stiff. Highly disappointed with this one.

3. Games are eternal, I suppose

You get a trophy (and iirc, an avatar?) for having a certain amount of NP stolen by the Tax Beast/Dr. Sloth/etc, so getting something similar for having an expensive item stolen could work. Not sure how they'd implement it though as you'd probably need to implement certain threshholds of NP for what counts as an "expensive" item, and the value of items does fluctuate over time. (Tangentially related, apparently I have a golden trophy from Sloth's Invasion Tax. I have no idea how much he stole from me...)

It's been posted already, and I know I'm probably biased as I have this one (and I'm a cat fanatic), but I like the Kadoatery trophy. The Avatar Collector trophy looks really nice too; I like the simplicity of it along with the golden outline. Too bad it's nigh unobtainable if you: - don't have an ancient account that participated in old events often enough to have the avatars from them - aren't extremely good at games which award avatars - haven't got the resources/NP to do certain things like Battledome (allowing you to participate in plots with battling) and purchase extremely expensive items that would also award avatars, etc.

1. Wow, this is still going? I remember posting in here as a staff member lol

Water looks kinda weird to me. I think it's because of the oddly defined outlines giving it more of a Marble appearance than water. The armour is an interesting outfit choice but something about it on a Poogle's body feels.. off.

Ouch, that is unfortunate. It's especially worse when you've only just taken it out of your SDB to sell on the TP/Auction house, etc. That's always my worst nightmare when I'm moving something from my SDB, though it hasn't happened to me yet. I agree with what others have said on removing these sorts of REs that can take away tens or hundreds of millions of NP if you're unlucky like this; they did remove REs such as Boochi for a similar reason iirc, as one unlucky RE while your pet was active could instantly remove a multimillion dollar paint job. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't Boochi and similar REs affect exclusive and nigh-unobtainable colours such as Robot or Ice?)

I feel ya. Went to buy stocks today and was unpleasantly surprised by the message that I could only buy stocks trading at 15 NP per share. Here's hoping CC comes around again soon and the donation system isn't completely miserable to use.
