A lurker says hello

[Time]

Hi there! I can't believe it's taken me so long to introduce myself. I can't remember why I first made an account here but I think I was always too shy before to say hello. I've playing Neopets on and off for a long time. I stopped for many years after I got my first account frozen when I was 11 XD. I'm a huge nerd who likes anime and cartoons and I ended up going into comp sci because of my love of games.

When I first started learning programming, I coded an auto-hotkey-based colliseum bot for flight rising as a personal project, it never publically posted it but I was pretty proud of how well it worked. And then I got myself banned by posting too-accurate nocturne chest data on the forums for kicks

Nowadays I'm a computer science graduate student who's procrastinating on Maplestory and Neopets to avoid working on my thesis. I love creating characters, art and designs for my Neopets and I'm aiming to get some UCs eventually. I hope I will get myself to talk more and to meet some new friends in this community!

Hello! It's lovely to meet you. This community is great and I am sure you will have a good time!

@(you need an account to see links) nice to meet you too thanks!

Hi Time! What a cool username too .

Aah, I remember when Maplestory was a new game and everyone was crazy about it. I pulled some all-nighters to advance in that game. Still, I got bored and abandoned it after a year or so.
Neopets, on the other hand... if the site doesn't die, I bet some of us will still be playing 20 years from now.

Welcome to cK! I hope you enjoy it here.

What is your favourite anime/genre of anime? I've never played Maplestory but I've always wanted to... but I feel like its too late :p

@(you need an account to see links) Maplestory is extremely different now from how it used to be. It takes a few days give or take to get to level 200 depending on how much you grind now. I hope the death of flash doesn't hurt Neopets too bad
@(you need an account to see links) My favourite genre of anime is probably shonen, the last one that I rewatched was Log Horizon. Maplestory easy to get into nowadays I would say as early leveling is pretty easy now and it's great to join a guild to make friends and get help. A lot of people came back to MS ro tried it for the first time this year because of quarantine.

Welcome to ck! I love hearing everyone's stories on how they started their Neopets addiction and of course the turning point to cross over to cK! What is your thesis on?

Welcome out of the lurk woods! you’ll do fine in this community, im sure!

I still remember my first ever autohotkey script as well! it was an autoclicker made for maplestory’s kerning pq. then, followed by a autoplayer for tug-o-war in neopets. ahh, the good ol days. feel free to showcase your neopets work here too!

oh yes, there’s a ryu userbar up for grabs if you’re interested. it certainly helps with your procrastination. the thesis will surely be not complete if you’re always on the hunt for more poops and empty hearts

A big welcome to Clraik!
