I spent so much time on neopets. My mum also saw me playing and got very into the games so she would help me earn neopoints on hassee bounce and sutek's tomb. The world building in this game was so impressive like to name a few things you get a house, a bank account a safety deposit box, the stock market, vacations, marketplaces, personal customisable forums (where I part-taught myself html coding at age idk 10), games, lore, battles... They just don't make em like this anymore

Honestly the nostalgia is great, almost all of the gameplay (and parts of the ui) are the same as 20 years ago.
Itβs got some fun little daily tasks and chores you can do to keep yourself and your pet busy.
And most importantly some crazy shit is about to go down. Neopets has been gearing up for a new event coming and it may really shake things up, as well as bring in older characters from the site.

why wait for childhood nostalgia to seize you in the middle of the night when you can actively chase after it. thereβs WAY more gambling on this broken website than i remember but at least you can say gay now

1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
