A selection of neopet Art Fight attacks (part one)

So currently on Neopets:

If you do up to 100,000 cumulative damage to Vocivus (the current plot boss) you get several very good awards

Vocivus started with 850 mil HP, but players almost killed it within 12 hours so TNT boosted it to 3 billion

For players with untrained pets, grinding up to 100K points can take hours, so it's best if it doesn't die too fast

Elite battlers really like Vocivus as it provides a genuine challenge on account of having randomized element immunity and healing from light attacks

Therefore, people on the Neoboards have been "feeding" it light attacks to make sure it doesn't die too fast and have been petitioning it to stay as the "pet" of the Battledome Chat

Some users have also started a psudo-cult worshiping it so now the boards look like this

As of three days after its release it still hasn't been defeated because of this

The video game history foundation has just finished scanning every copy of the neopets magazine and added it to their archive. Super cool!

Why we scanned every issue of Neopets The Official Magazine | Video Game History Foundation

It might be a little silly, but Neopets Magazine is an important slice of a different part of gaming culture.

During its four-year run, Neopets Magazine covered the latest news and strategies for the influential 2000s-era web game. It also had a lot of articles about Neopets merchandise and trading cards. In fact, it’s mostly ads for Neopets products. Or long articles about Neopets lore. At best, it is mostly an off-topic magazine. So why did we focus on this magazine of our archive? Simple: it’s about the game’s audience. Neopets was, arguably, the defining girl game of the 2000s. An entire microgeneration of girls got their start in the world of digital entertainment by raising virtual pets and playing Flash games to get Neopoints. [...] Notably, many of the magazine’s articles are about creativity and customization. There’s shades in here of the gameplay styles that have become more popular in the last decade with the rise of cozy games and farming sims. My favorite quirk of Neopets Magazine is in the audience survey that came with some issues. In one survey question, they asked whether readers bought this magazine at a clothing store! That would have reached a completely different audience than we usually associate with game magazines. Can you imagine PC Gamer being sold at a Charlotte Russe? The point is that Neopets The Official Magazine represents a different slice of gaming culture, one that we know matters to researchers and to our extended community.

furry gambling

(full card set with guide under read more)

To change the card sets in balatro: first change "Balatro.exe" into "Balatro.rar""balatro.zip". (must have an archive extraction tool: eg. 7zip, peazip, etc) Then navigate into the rar/zip to resources>textures>2x. Replace "8BitDeck.png" and "8BitDeck_opt2.png" with the respective card sets. Then navigate out of the .rar/.zip file and rename/revert the "Balatro.zip or Balatro.rar" game file to "Balatro.exe".

If instructions not clear enough, search "balatro change card art" into search engine.

I actually finished this one post-artfight for the joy of it and then never uploaded it anywhere. But it's been my desktop background for a year now!

This unnamed Aisha character is owned by Honkz on Artfight and designed by Angellpistol on Toyhouse.
