    HomuraAkemiTheHero reacted to brynchilla in Criticism in the Art Community.   
    I wish there was a 'it depends' answer.
    Just plain criticism with telling what is wrong, usually shouting (also known as flaming) is wrong.
    If it's constructive criticism that not only tells what is wrong but also how it can be improved upon is okay.
     
    You're not going to get better if people just throw flowers at you and say all is good.
    You need people to be critical about your work (but you'll need to be able to know when to draw the line) if you want to improve.
    Feed back is valuable.
    Good feed back is amazing.
     
    Although I'm not in the art community, I am in the writing community and it can be applied to both groups.
    Sometimes to get better, you need to have your work completely torn apart so you can see what you need to improve on.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero reacted to stupidyou3 in Dom's drawing dump (Part 2: the return of the comeback)   
    Hey guys! I'm sorry for the year of absence if anyone still remember me. If not, I'm Dominic, I draw a lot of stuff. Some crappy, some are not. And I wanna reintroduce my Neopets, the Altador Reclaimers (now with improved backstory)!
     


     
    (Left to Right)
    Cimarona : The CEO, also a swashbucking, trigger-happy, cocky and pretentious Kougra. Was a thief before turning around and developing an interest in helping other people.
    Zelabeth : The Assistant, a stoic, serious, and sarcastic Ogrin. Was a former mage from Faeriland before an incident she don’t want to talk about that caused her to lose her job.
    Aermynn : The Intern, a naive, hyper-active, curious little Zafara. She was fired on her previous job as a historian when she burnt down a rare bookstore in Altador. Never had thousand years of history be gone in a matter of 4 minutes.


    Now that's done! I'm going to dump a lot of art in here Neopets related :D Thanks for having me.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero got a reaction from gnorbaby in Will Neopets survive the 2010s? And how?   
    I don't think Neopets is losing players but I'm not sure although I'm fine if more people play but perhaps advertising might help since some kids I talk to don't even know what it is and I think there used to be a tv commercial about the NC mall although it's costly some form of major advertisement might help them gain new players. They also could increase interactivity with the neopets because it would be hard to get the newer users to actually care about their neopets and not just abandon the account after a day.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero got a reaction from Aquamentis12 in Thanksgiving: valid or hypocritical?   
    I do celebrate Thanksgiving and I think it is a valid holiday. Thanksgiving is a great time for a family reunion of sorts and to make meals together and celebrate all that we have.Although I think it could also be hypocrisy depending on the way you look at it. The loss of lands,hunger,and poverty were in the past but some are still bitter I guess that would be the word for it about what happened. I can understand why they would but sometimes you have to move on. My family actually does have some Native American ties as well and we still celebrate regardless despite the fact the tribe we are descended from have died from diseases and illness brought by new settlers and others have starved.Although some take Thanksgiving as the only day where they say they are thankful but it should be every day where you are thankful. So really I guess depending on the way someone celebrates Thanksgiving it could be valid or hypocritical.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero reacted to Shelley in Thanksgiving: valid or hypocritical?   
    If we're gonna talk about hypocritical holidays, let's talk Columbus day! lol. Since the holiday just passed I actually saw in the news people have been protesting to get this holiday removed, while others want to rename it "Italian Heritage Day". I mean everyone gets a day off school/work to celebrate a man a went on a "rein of terror" against the native people. Also he was not the first man to discover the Americas...I just think it's an odd holiday
     
    When I personallycelebrate Thanksgiving, it has nothing to do with Pilgrims and Native Americans. We don't decorate our house with any kind of historical iconography. The whole holiday traditional "story" that's told is so full of lies and misconceptions. Thanksgiving was celebrated by Native Americans far before Europeans arrived. It was a time to reflect on your blessings, much like we do today. The problem that lies in Thanksgiving is that we forget the destruction and harm that was caused. We fail to recognize the true facts behind this holiday- that not many Native Americans were invited, relationships were not good between the to people, and one of the first thanksgivings was celebrated to commemorate the terrible massacre of a Native American tribe- men, women and children.
     
    I think what we teach children in school is ludicrous. Let's stop all the school plays depicting the first thanksgiving feast and recognize the truth. I mean they didn't even eat turkey for god's sake!
     
    Today we don't celebrate this holiday in honor of the pilgrims, we celebrate for family, for friends, and for everything good in our lives. While the origins of this holiday with the Europeans include terrible stories of loss and suffering for the Native people, we've departed from history and observe this holiday now as a time to be thankful for our personal blessings. I don't see anything wrong with a family coming together to share a meal and express their love for one another.But I also think it's important to recognize the cruel injustices that took place in our past and not just sweep them under the rug. Let's teach our children real history and not a sugar coated westernized version of it.

    Like hrtbrk said selling codestones is easy money you can get a couple of thousand neopoints for the normal ones. Also there's a game called Fashion Fever where you can send the score as soon as it loads which gives you an easy 300 neopoints per game. Keyquest is another way to get codestones but it can often be low and some computers can't run it well.

    I don't think it would cause any problems with your account on Neopets. I used the same login info from my main account for petpark. TNT is probably just taking out all petpark accounts so they wouldn't really mess with your main account besides getting rid of that space.
