Re: New pound with transferring feature going live Monday!

Joy! I just transferred a pet from a lab account to her permanent spot. It was easy and not at all anxiety-inducing.

I love this new feature.

Re: Baby Starling Dilemma

Have a look online, or in a phonebook, to see if there are any wildlife rehabilitation places where you are. Bird places, especially, since they've got special needs. If you phoned up a zoo they might be able to get you in touch with one. At one point I had the world's dumbest mockingbirds living in...

Re: New pound with transferring feature going live Monday!

Who wrote this FAQ and what have they done with the normal Neopets staff? They got it right! I'm astounded.

And, yes, yes, a thousand times yes please to the consolidation of and/or more pets on each account. Make it so!

Re: What the hell did they do to QuickRef?

Huh. My gut instinct is to flail about how Change Is Bad On Neopets (in all fairness it usually is) but I can see myself getting accustomed to this.

And, yes. More pet space. Lots more. Combine-my-accounts more. Get on it, team.

Re: Steampunk!

Be sure to spend a moment thanking the great-granddaddy of all this stuff: Jules Verne. The Smithsonian was kind enough to put a ton of his illustrations online , and they're nice and big so you can get all the detail out of the engravings. Some of my favorites.... A projectile train to the Moon. I ...

If you haven't seen the Robots of the Victorian Era page yet, you must. It's delightful.

Re: RL Achievements and ToW

It's a handheld camera for people with significantly more upper-body strength than I have. The camera body, unloaded, weighs 5 pounds. The film holder adds another pound to that. I just put them on my bathroom scale to check. This is just the film and camera: the flash attachment allegedly takes D b...

Re: Subetart : 27 Steampunk Sheeta?! Concept!

I love steampunk as an aesthetic. If you want fresh-built Victorian steampunk, go for lots of shiny brass, filigreed metalwork, dark wood, thick glass. Make everything elegant. Contrariwise, if you want post-apocalyptic steampunk, (I'm not sure what this properly is, but I see this theme a lot under...

Re: RL Achievements and ToW

I got a 1948 Graflex press camera for my birthday.

My brain overloaded when I opened it up, so all I can really say about it is: enormous, heavy, complicated, old, and omg so pretty.

The way Neo gets things done, I don't think we have to worry about this for another year or two yet.

Re: Chelon (Turdle) Possible Revamp

Oooooooh. I like the roughness in the flippers and head. The shell, I'd think, needs some texture to it - as is, the shine on the shell contrasts oddly with the critter's flesh, almost as though it's made of molded plastic. Make that shell a bit less bumpy, scuff it up, set the gems deeper in and yo...

Re: Editorial Time! (With yet another new editorial!)

Actually I think when they start to make weapons wearable many of cool looking weapons (specially species weapons) that are useless on the battledome will have some purpose in life. That I could go for. I've wanted to put the Iron Lupe set on my Lupe ever since I first saw it. (I did, in Photoshop,...
