Good to hear they're still around in some form. I've been trying and failing to get flash to work since I want Neopets trophies, and the old flash ones have far less competition since it's such a pain in the rear end. I almost want to just find some loving 2004-rear end desktop that still has the oldest browsers and flash support but honestly think that still might not work. The guides for getting flash to work today only cover modern OS.

Adobe should just get its head out of its rear end, make its programs better, and then also rerelease a new flash without the insane security vulnerabilities. People hated that.

I just installed https://archive.org/details/flashplayerarchive as well as the Pale Moon browser and the testing site https://webbrowsertools.com/test-flash-player/ showed that Flash works in that browser now. The Pale Moon browser can also handle Shockwave: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/339173/how-can-i-play-dcr-shockwave-games

Flashpoint is also good for playing old Flash, Shockwave, and Java games separately of any website. I remember Overflow (a simple Java reskin of the classic arcade game Pipe Mania, but heping a chameleon slurp soda is far more entertaining a concept than redirecting sewage), Merlin's Quest, Candystand Miniature Golf, Waterballoon Drop 3, Toonami Lockdown, and Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort: Episodes 1-4

Honestly, this is a good idea. I've been playing neopets right now mostly for Neoquest, I don't know what's so compelling about that lovely html jrpg but I need to finish it

Haha I found a ten year old grease monkey script that doesn't work that just auto hits next on the battle screen so you don't have to ... But it doesn't work ;_;

Also there's a Speedrun hi score table and I'm still on evil but the insane playthrough are 12 hours, which seems impossible... And I think it must be bc the players I looked up on the table to see if they had tips or guides were just frozen lol.

I'm trying to train my pet up now, and every old weapon I used to aim for is garbage now compared to newer cheaper stuff. However some of the Neoquest rewards are still so rare they are worth a lot (but who is buying seems hard to sell).

Hoping the new owner revitalizes battledome bc it's been broken for years, one core mechanic doesn't work, and they no longer do they thing where you beat an enemy and their HP goes up. So players with actually strong pets have no real reason to be anymore.

edit: so on the first they had a glitch and didn't award trophies, which gave an extra day for all my scores to get bumped from gold. Lost my golds, but still got 3 new trophies!

To be clear, I can get flash to semi work on Neopets, but not all of them and none will send score since the numbers are hosed. People still can though so I did something wrong. Have to also use something called Fiddler classic with some other edits bc of the older games don't use https but modern calls need it, and there's a few other little hacks to get things working properly. I'll just need to start over and try the tutorial again, fiddler gives a weird error when I start it and I assume it should not. There's no way on GitHub to contact someone, the person updated it recently so I was hoping they might know my issue. Oh well.

theres a breath of the wild homebrew ttrpg system that ive read, multiple times cover to cover and i still have no idea how anyone is supposed to play it. slavishly devoted to replicating mechanics of the video game, and doing math to calculate how many hearts you get when you cook food or whatever

fair. I have some fond memories cause it's what got me interested in tabletop in general but yeah it isn't great lol.


been playing in a campaign that's using a combo homebrew mashup of Knave and Glaive that's been a lot of fun. It's amazing what you can do with a system when you cut out all the pointless crunch and keep numbers lower.

i run a 5e game for my niece and nephew. its Fine, we have fun and, they know the rules well enough + 5e is by far the easiest rpg to play online right now because the tools are so good, so it goes pretty smoothly. but a couple sessions ago after, a kind of boring battle, shes like "does d&d actually suck". I couldn't lie...

It also encourages you to resist the urge. Each origin has a little scene of them explaining their deal, with a spotlight like they're on a stage.

over covid I tried hard to get them into the ffg star wars game but, that was too hard to teach them over the internet and, the dumbass dice are impossible to get so its annoying to play irl. thought about getting them into this star wars hack of traveller i found but, our current d&d campaign is spelljammer so i'm probably not going to do a space game if we play something else

I had a copy of cyberpunk ready to go last time I visited, if we had enough time to play two games. but we just managed to squeeze in a d&d session

honestly I'm a sucker for PbP games instead of in voice or in person. People are less likely to get overwhelmed and it's easier to stay in character. Also you don't have to travel anywhere which is handy. But then again I also massively prefer reading over audiovisual forms of media so I might be biased heavily.

I never cared for the customization stuff when it was new but sinces it's been like 15 years there's actually a ton of cool options now. Dressing up the pets is actually fun now lol. For 20 years my account only had 3 pets, nowadays you can have like 10. I have five now which feels like a ton.

You can remove parts of pets now too. My Maraquan Ixi has no eyes now.
