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.

another reason this is the only social media site i give a fuck to actually use is because you're allowed to add links to text instead of just having to paste a url into the body of your post like some kind of caveman.

when EYE bought fungrees nobody else wanted them so I could lowball at 2 mil neopoints and people would accept it. I set the market price and reported it to jellyneo. now? people asking for 20 mil for ONE Unpainted FUNGREE. and look at me

“Wow wiwi is that every single Fungree item on Neopets” yeah. you’re right it is

would you believe me if I tagged this as neopets plot spoilers? and would you believe me if I said what actually happens next is she tells fyora to beg?

i was rereading my long neopets post the other day because i love rereading my own opinions #myopinions and i spend a lot of time over the course of that thing trying to articulate and justify my distaste for the newer style of detailed rendering

anyway i just found out about the fuzzy meerca outfit the site released in 2023 and im sad i didn't know about it at the time because no amount of typing in the world could have made my point better than just putting these two pngs next to each other.

striped meerca, released 2009 vs the fuzzy meerca outift, released 2023. what more needs to be said.
