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.

Untwisting your tropes by making a video game about a quiet kid with an ugly shirt and a worrying preoccupation with knives who actually has nothing wrong with them at all.

[appendingfic]

their main problem is they don't have enough knives

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

Wizards kissing at the doorway.

Caleb, Essek, and their home with cats and a garden they worked really hard on live in by heart and make me feel soft feelings.

wanted to see how the sketchbook holds up to acryla gouache so I drew a version of my banner

it deals with it quite well! So far this Leuchtturm1917 has been good about everything I've thrown at it tbh

Wow thanks everyone ;v;

Mini lore snippet lol: at first I just doodled the cat alone in the middle of a page, but I loved him so much I just turned the page and drew the whole thing. He's so great.
