I'm four years late, but hello!

[Cat Purrson]

Thanks for introducing yourself fellow kitty lover!! Don't be afraid to post around the forums more!! What kind of games do you have on your Nintendo?

[Aero]

Welcome, Heck! Glad to see you delurk. Actually my friend's discord username is also Heck, so I did a double take when I saw your post!

And totally with ya on the state of Neopets but somehow still sticking around LOL we are all masochists

Hope to see you around!

[Tyranitar]

Don't worry about that, I just started playing competitive Pokémon because of this tournament. All the experience I have is playing the Gameboy games.
Is just for the laughs!

Hi there Heck! Better late than never, they say. I think you are on the same page as most of us; we will all go down on this dumpster fire ship. But hey, if we are having fun while sinking, then there is not much to worry about.

I think I am picking up what you're putting down on the "city exploration" piece - traveling is fun, but can be so exhausting. It can be so nice to just take a day to go to a city nearby that is not your home city and see what sort of fun you can get in to for the day, whether it be checking out shops or eating some delicious food I am due for that myself sometime soon.

Anywho, thank you for introducing yourself! We are happy to have you, I hope to see you around more soon!

Welcome, officially, to the site! Glad to pull up a chair for you on the deck of the sinking ship that is Neopets with the rest of us. :3

Are you excited for the new Pokemon games? You gonna play them when they come out?

[Heck]

So many sweet responses! ;u;
I'm not going to directly quote just so that this reply doesn't turn into a novel lol.

@(you need an account to see links) Hello! I definitely remember you from the NC threads! I am still into collecting, though recently have been trying to downsize. My closet is at nearly 3K individual items and I don't even use 5% of that lol. Oh gosh, the glory days when $7 could get you 2000 NC.

@(you need an account to see links) Hello friend! I really appreciate the warm welcome! It seems like many of us here started as lurkers. :')
Aw, bless your friends lol. It's definitely not for everyone, but if anything, there's some really solid music coming out of the industry. No need to dive too deep if you don't want to, plus, it'll save your wallet haha.

@(you need an account to see links) AAH THE LIGHT BURNS!!! (thank you kindly hehe )
Oh I feel it. Sometimes I want to throw in the towel too. Honest to god wish some corp would purchase the site and fix it. It needs a lot of help.
Though!! Have you seen the buzz? There's speculation that dyeworks UCs may be on the horizon! :o
I have one kitty! An orange gal who has my heart. At my mom's there's 4 others. I grew up with cats. Always always always had cats around (we lived on a ranch). We were only allowed to have dogs when I was in my mid teens. They're great, but I'm definitely a cat girl haha. My mother has a Westie and a Cocker Spaniel! Do you have any pups or cats of your own?

@(you need an account to see links) Aw no, thank you for such the warm welcome!! I'll definitely be around more! (Love your username and avatar btw )
I'm a big Pokemon and Mario gal. I also pick up some indie games when they go on sale, but admittedly have a large backlog to still go through and play haha. Not Nintendo, but I also really love Spyro! Any games you like by chance?

@(you need an account to see links) Hey there!
Omg haha! Small world! I have no idea why I chose this name. It used to be hecklefreckle, which is even more random. I don't even have freckles lol.
Masochists unite!! ;; There's really no reason any of us should still be playing this game LOL
Thank you so much! Hope to see you around as well!

@(you need an account to see links) Well I love Pokemon, good fun and a good laugh!
Definitely sounds like something up my alley!

@(you need an account to see links) Hello there!
Hey! We can sing sea shanties as we all go down. That sounds like fun lol!
YES! I guess because I live in a city surrounded by other cities, it's easy to take a day trip and explore close by. Long distance traveling can definitely be too exhausting and no matter how good the hotel is, it's not the same as home. Though, maybe I just like sleeping in my own bed lol. Plus, you can find so many hidden gems that are nearby your roost. Win-win!
Hope to see you around too friend, and I hope you get to do some explorin' soon!

@(you need an account to see links) Aw thank you! I'm glad it's all of you lovely folks I'm sinking with haha. (though, all kidding aside, hopefully we stay afloat for a few more years ;; hah)
YES! Not too sold on the box legends yet, though I'm definitely going with Violet. Here's hoping they duct tape Sprigatito's four feet to the damn floor as well. Are you a Pokemon fan and are you looking forward to the games yourself?

@(you need an account to see links) I am a huge pokemon fan! I still haven't decided on which version yet, but I'm leaning towards Scarlet. Spending a lot of time in Arceus until then. Gotta perfect that pokedex! 😤

Sprigatito better remain a quadruped yes! Keep all four of those feet on the ground. I want more proper cat pokemon and not more humonoid bait!

Oh yeah I'm also waiting for the NC UCs though I haven't heard anymore from TNT, they mentioned after Altador Cup but who really knows when. That and the new Lutari plot coming, crossing fingers!!

I have a senior female dog (7 1/2 years old), she's staying with my sister because my place is small, though now is with the veterinary because she was intervened (mobility age/health problems but she's doing it well), and my niece has 3 cats (apparently she's also a cat fan haha). I found my doggie when she was a pup on the road and took her with me

Hello lovely people of clraik! It's nice to finally introduce myself. I'm Heck.
I've been playing Neo since the fourth grade and am in my mid twenties now. Math is hard, but that equates to quite a few years. While I certainly have gone on hiatus many, many times, I never left because I'm too invested. I will go down with this sinking, dumpster-turned ship, that also happens to be on fire. o7
Plus, it's nice to retain a tiny piece of my childhood (growing up sucks.)

Admittedly, I joined clraik to lurk and sometimes contribute to that spicy spice thread (you know the one!) Never would I have imagined this community to be so friendly and loving however. ♥

Some of my irl interests include;
Pokemon
Nintendo
Cats! I love cats. ;u;
Nature Sightseeing
City Exploration (not quite travel per se.)
And K-pop (I listen to a bunch of different bgs, but I do have two ults hoo-hoo )

And yeah! That's me in a nutshell! It's wonderful to be here amongst such great people.

Hey there, Heck! It's never too late to introduce yourself.

What interests you the most on Neopets? For a ship that's been "sinking while on fire" for over a decade now, it's holding up pretty well.

Happy to see you've dived into collecting bars around the forum. It's the hottest thing to do around here! And based on your listed interests, I think it's safe to say that you will fit in to the community quite nicely.

See you around ~

[TsUNaMy WaVe]

Hello Heck, officially welcome for ck!
The active side is way more fun!

Hope to see you around the forums ^~^
