Mm, that's true. They've become quite cute again, and seem to look quite a bit like objects. For a while there was the trend of making them more like...ah..polygons, I suppose.

I’ve never even heard of this new Pokémon. I feel stuck in the past with the older generations, haha.
Volts are fine by me, Hadsvich. Thank you for hosting.

That's fair, but an assurance about the item comes at a more premium price. It's very lucrative for developers, and really plays into the gambling habit of clients, but it's still skating the line of ethics.

hahaha
I've had a couple of those kinds of incidents, too. I think the most embarrassing one is when I apologized to a manakin I bumped into, then did it again to the same manakin a few minutes later.

I think there are unhinged fanatics in every community. The funny thing about them is that they're so often incorrect, lie about their own credentials, or have their own unaddressed issues so they lash out at others for some reason or another.

I hope you're doing well now. There's nothing I can productively add as comfort other than the fear of disappointing others can be unnecessarily crippling. I think disappointment is harder to genuinely come by, and redemption is nearly always available.

Would you say that it was double the entertainment for the price of one?

That's kind of funny about Neopets.
It felt like quite a few of the more established avatar sites were bought by Silicon Valley bros who drool at the idea of NFTs and Bitcoin. This is just an uninformed assumption, but it seems that so many sites and games shifted to a gacha system because their userbase are committed and unable to completely comprehend the reality of cash-to-game-currency.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but it is kind of funny. It's a learning thing. I only know about acetone and plastics because I used to do my nails all the time and you'd use acetone to melt the acrylic off your fingers. It's kind of wild, right?

Congratulations on the commission.
You should have anything regarding payment in writing, especially for friends and family. Even if you're inexperienced and voiced that to the client beforehand, when they accept the terms, then you're both obligated; one to pay, one to make the logo.
I made a logo for a construction company in my hometown, but they ended up going with their old design. I was working with the guy who was designing the website, but to be honest, I dodged a bullet by not being associated with him.

Posted in What do you ACTUALLY call them?
Posted 3 years ago
If I'm being respectful, I will use a surname. Generally I will use the name for a person that they request, otherwise it's just the surname.
For animals, it's usually whatever they are. Dogs are "pup," cats are "cat," etc.

Posted in Anyone have cool hobbies or side hustles?
Posted 3 years ago
I cook as a hobby. Recently I've been tossing the idea around in my head of making some hard candies.
I don't have a side hustle because the main hustle typically encompasses my life.

I used to be part of a small artist community on Gaia some years ago, but as with the passage of time it also faded away. I think I noticed that quite a few people in the group stopped talking to me or acknowledging me once I stopped making art--particularly for them. It was a little bit of a bummer to see so blatantly that I was really only thought of as a cheap art mule, but I'm better off now despite the sourness.
I'm old enough that social media is kind of befuddling to me. I can use it, and participate more passively.
There was a classmate who was very active on TikTok and I just can't help but feel she was the biggest twit I've ever met. It seemed like every week she was doing something to advertise how bad she was at making sound decisions.
