Me too, but as you say, who can actually tell. The drama! ?

Let us try and find out! There seems to be more chance this time, unless the majority share @Angeló's view. We shall see! *get all Brutish*

Today's book made me giggle, and the fireworks are pretty The swf's like a screensaver, lol. https://images.neopets.com/cp/items/swf/000/000/600/600210_455cc0d116.swf @Angeló I see now, it's the "previous version" on JN. Considering the weirdness that's been going on with the naming and descriptions of this year's stuff, I'm not making anything of this. ?

The ray is fired at my_friend_Cora... ... and she changes colour to Electric!! But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something. They're gonna kinda coordinate for a while then!

What what?? I... explain. ? Something like that had better be a wearable, and if it exists... we'll get it at some point? Or was it just a file name but no item to back it up?

Yeah SSS is doing good right now, isn't it! My bottom line is suddenly healthy again after being back in the red and SSS has a lot to do with that.

This isn't how ads used to work, my info is 10 years old though so to be taken with a pinch of salt? But previously the site got absolutely nothing for simply displaying the ad, them getting any revenue relied entirely upon clicks, and unique clicks at that. Just a tiny amount per click too, a penny or two maybe.

Well, here's what Oxbridge has to say. No actual help at all. ?

@Robin Hood Some people actually choose to not use ad blockers to help Neo, don't they. But, unless the way ads work has changed dramatically I don't think that is actually helping? People used to need to visit the sites via the ads. I get what you mean about not tech-savvy older users though; my mum falls firmly into that category, I mentioned ad-blockers to her and her reaction was like I'd suggested she learn to speak Russian or something. ? Do they EVER fix any of the typos in item descriptions? I've found some in really old items so it seems to be a JS is following faithfully in TNT's foot-steps with regard to this. ? The High Tea item is most definitely my fave. That Scratchcard Kiosk is a very nice winter background though, it's got enough trees and buildings to not look bleak and barren. ? Atsumi's Abode is on the wrong layer... THIS is what Angeló was talking about! Light finally dawns! It's on the background item layer. Hopefully that'll get fixed sooner or later.

HAHAHAHA, and I STILL got it wrong??? ? I know nothing about any of it though so how can I form a fair opinion? ? See I'd have thought that surely ads were entirely pointless now seeing as just about everyone blocks them, but sites still use them so what do I know? I LOVE the Santa Hat prize I got today. Look at this cute little guy! Now, are today's prizes gonna be random Soup Faerie ones as we got Random Scratch Card Kiosk ones for her... ..... YUP! ? That's a cute stamp! Soup cauldron-shaped, look. Now THAT is some nice attention to detail! I wonder what item got the description for this though? As @Angeló pointed out it's clearly not got its own one. xD But looking through the new items there aren't any sapling items, maybe tomorrow's prizes... AH! Looking at the new items, I now realise why that Wocky dress that I got from Kiko Pop is relatively valuable, it's a new item. ?

Welcome to the dark side! Kads will now take over your life by 7 minute increments if they can. ?

I've never thought JS were very good at running Neo ? But no, I honestly don't imagine they can afford to hire more artists to create free items. It's not greed though, it's simple economic sense, Neo's got to make money to stay open.

Ah, but all those higher level healing potions; all 2-points for CC. ?

I won a Wocky dress yesterday that's valued at around 13.5k Kiko Pop's totally worth playing.

Haha, well of course I don't actually know, but I'm assuming that the actual artist focus has been on the NC side of things and that's why the Advent Calendar's mainly re/upcycled items. But hey, doing things that way's very topical, at least! Tongue-in-cheek here, I don't suppose gifs have much of a carbon footprint. ?

I used to LOVE South Park, but I've not seen it for close to 20 years (20 years?! ?) I wonder if I'd end up finding it a bit eyeroll-y now. I saw a fair amount of House recently, gotta love Hugh Laurie. Pretty sure I've only seen him in comedy roles prior to that, though he has done other serious stuff. I wonder if any of the people in the US who were introduced to him through House have checked out Blackadder... that's a bit of stellar UK comedy.

Challenge accepted! I need to know what was going on with those Zombie Gnorbus Mutant Blumaroos!. ? HA! So the Hissi he was so terrified by in 2017 he greets like an old friend this time around. I guess they settled their differences in the interim. Although this Ogrin seems to be super-obtuse, he's probably not realising that the Hissi's just saving him from the lava so it can eat him. xD *goes back further* Aha! So there's the Zombie, lol. Yeah I'm loving that they're continuing this saga. To me that definitely shows that they do care. It seems to me that they're still doing what they can with what limited resources they have. Today's is pretty funny too. Happy Holidays Lyra! Here's something that belongs to you anyway, that I stole to give to you. Yep, you're one prince of a guy, Aurick, seriously.

More and more how this year's Advent Calendar's been created tells me we were lucky to get one at all. Just about all of it is thanks to editing existing stuff isn't it. From that I conclude that there was no artist available to make new stuff. I wonder where the high tea item came from... ? Maybe that is new, who knows, maybe it makes up part of a background somewhere... I'm grateful for it, regardless, I love it!

Hahaha, I had the same reaction at first, like what in the actual heck?? But by the end it made sense, I think... This poor Ogrin is having a life flashing before his eyes situation as he's sure he's about to die. Luckily, in true fiction fashion, he is saved at the last minute. It's still very what the heck though, I mean the first flashback fair enough, making a fool of yourself on a big date, yup. But being pursued across snow-fields by amorous zombies?? ? ? ..... WAT?? ? and then to come back to himself and find a very scary-looking Hissi suddenly next to you and look pleased? My immediate reaction would have been ? He's got some serious attachment to that scarf, too, really horrified by the lose of that, even the music gets all dramatic at that final point. Whoever put this clip together had a lot of fun with it. ? I was getting excited about getting the scarf as a wearable because of the Ogrin's reaction to its lose, so kinda disappointed at getting the lava instead, lol.

The ray is fired at my_friend_Cora... ... and she loses 3 strength points ? Times New Roman shall now be known as Oopsy. How nice. ?

Tis the season, for goodwill animosity to all. ?

Ooooh, now of course I'm immediately drawn to going for something not at all appropriate for a fancy ball... Yep, might as well just give in to it. ?

I never managed to enter this round, zero inspiration. I've had some NOW, lol, but if I'd had that in a timely fashion and managed to enter it would have been another low-scoring round for me I think. What's just popped into my head was a little girl after getting into mummy's make-up... if I could recreate that on DTI the net result wouldn't have been pretty. ? I seem almost averse to pretty entries, it's very rare that I manage to create one, and I'm nearly always drawn more to ones that aren't aiming for that either. @Angeló's was my favourite this time around. The "Knives sold separately." caption was the icing on the cake with that. ? ? Also. ?

I can clarify that you do only get the normal colour choices. I... wait a minute. *actually reads ALL of Nielo's post* *coughs* yes, I asked about this myself. xD I wish you could choose which recolour you got when you use a brew. I'm completely convinced that you could in the past. But also I can understand that TNT wouldn't make it like that because they want people to have to buy more to get the shade they want. ? So maybe me thinking I could choose previously was just a fever dream or something. ?

You carefully walk in and pick up a cool weapon from the pile of treasure! Lightning Gun If I was gonna hoard items to lie on, I'd go for something less... pointy!
