As a huge virtual pets player, I know quite enough!
Here's what I've been playing so far, and maybe a few mentions of games I used to play but left due to closure or not interested or just something else that caused a lot of players to leave.

Currently Active on...

Neopets - The longest and biggest virtual pet game that exists and one that I've never lost interest in. I lost my original account years ago and I also lost my other old account in the recent past years too because I forgot the password that I no longer remember. So after getting a password manager, I don't have to worry about losing my accounts anymore.

Aywas - Another long-running game I've been playing, though this one is not as frequented because there's other games that interest me more than this one. I'm still glad it updates some stuff, but I do hope it gets a bigger update on making some things in there easier.

Dappervolk - A game that I've recently joined and usually visit for the dailies. While the aesthetic and theme isn't my kind of thing, I do love the pets and the NPCs you can form a bond with to get some great prizes! That, and the people in here is super nice nowadays, so that's a plus for me!

Xanje - One of my favorite and most played pet games to this day! This is probably the only pet game where you can collect as many pets as you can, and in hundreds of different patterns or variations. Trust me that you will rarely get two of the same color combo!

Adopt Me - This one is from Roblox, and it's a virtual pet game where you hatch pets from eggs or egg-adjacent items and raise them to their full stage. You can fuse four of the same pet to make them neon, then fuse four neon versions of the same pet to make them a mega neon pet! There's more, such as making a family, buying and decorating your own home, and participate in fun activities.

Horse Life - Another Roblox game where you take care and collect horses. Not just your normal horses, though. There's unicorns, biorses, saurequines, and much, much more horse-adjacent species you can add to your team of horses!

EggCave - It's a cute game where you collect eggs and raise them slowly with clicks and visits from other people. I do like to visit this game during events, because that's where you get to click and feed for prizes! I don't have as much pets as the others who frequent the site, but I love to keep a small list for the others who are on a tight schedule.

DragonCave - A game similar to EggCave where you collect eggs and raise them with clicks and visits to grow them into dragons. I visit during holiday related events in hopes to collect the event-only dragons that appear for a limited time.

Pony Island - The virtual pet game, and NOT the horror game. It's the one that caught my attention because of the MLP-looking ponies you can collect and take care of and participate in events. While this game is mostly exclusive for paying members, free players can still raise and collect their ponies and participate in races. I don't play this game often because of it's limitations, I do visit it from time to time to collect money and items. Oh also the ponies you raise in the game can perish if you don't take care of them. That's one of the downsides, for me at least.

--------------

And now here's the games I used to play but don't due to loss of interest or because it got shut down, or because of something that happened.

Marapets - A game that's inspired by Neopets that started out as a guild of some sorts. As of this year I don't play Marapets other than the reason because I have too much stuff to do, and that there's way too much stuff in there to do, which I don't mind but like...life makes you busy. I do wish to revisit the game someday!

Goatlings - A cute game where you collect cute goats known as goatlings. You could participate in events, play games, trade, and train them for battle! Unfortunately it shut down due to several issues that happened throughout the recent years. I won't list them down here because it's quite a lot, and there's places that explain the issues better than I ever could. Thankfully there's people who are able to make a goatlings-inspired game, and while it's a WIP, I hope to see the polished version in a few years!

Santae - An amazing game that's unfortunately had most of its userbase gone because of some things the creator did. It's upsetting to hear because the game had so much potential and I love how progressive and unique the game is, with the pets, the NPCs, and I love the avatar building feature as well. It's a shame that I've lost some good friends there, but wherever they are, I wish them the best. The site is still up, but there's not as many people playing on there this year.

So that's all of the pet games I play and used to play. It's a huge list but I did say that I know a lot about it!

I've recently been watching Storybots with my cousins a few weeks ago. I'm glad that there's still some educational shows popping up around these years, I thought the educational or edutainment stuff wasn't a thing anymore, but I'm glad it's still here.

Oh, and the characters are soooo cute! I like Boop a lot. He's the red one who looks grumpy and says his name in every emotion possible.

I'm reading The Haunted Mask from the Goosebumps series as of this week.

I prefer the TV version of the Haunted Mask more, but it's great to see the differences between the book and the show.

K is for Katsuki from My Hero Academia! (Couldn't find an explosion icon here so this will have to do.)

Recently made a sour cream and tuna sandwich because I had no mayo around and I'm out of funds for the week. It tasted interesting, but I'd still prefer my mayo and tuna sandwich.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Couldn't sleep for some reason even though I was sleepy as heck hours ago, waiting for bedtime to strike. This is so weird... I really hope it wasn't the tea that I drank, because last time I checked, there's no caffeine in there.

Once again I don't have much to report on, I'm just gonna get myself in a more sleepy mood so that I don't end up waking up late. I'm trying to practice a healthy sleep schedule for myself after I kept missing out on a lot of stuff that happened during the daytime.

Oh, but there was the new AD:HOUSE album that's coming on Bandcamp in a few weeks and I'm so amped to listen to the full songs. It's already available if you buy the album from their store, but I'm more of a digital media keeper than a physical one, because I can't trust myself to take care of a CD. I have bad luck with them, they get scratched within a year, so that's why I'd prefer digital downloads.

Hopefully next time I write, I'm in a feel-good mood.

Unfortunately I don't have much to report on, I mostly don't have the energy to do it. This is mostly because I'm in a sleepy, lethargic mood but I can't seem to sleep right now. That, and I just ate a big meal so I have to wait a couple of hours for my stomach to finish processing the food.

I'm back to watching and catching up with most Game Grumps playthroughs, I'm glad to see they're still uploading. It really makes me feel happy when long-time channels continue to upload to this day and age.

Oh, and I did a factory reset laptop, it's running like new again, and although I have to redownload some stuff, it shouldn't be too much!

That's pretty much it from me, when I'm in a less lethargic mood, I should be able to write more longer than this.

In a rather refreshed mood, just recently did a factory reset on my laptop, since it's been a few years since I've done so. I usually do a factory reset every two years or once a year.

I do it to make sure my device stays in tip-top shape, so that I don't have to buy a new one, especially at a time where upgrading or buying a new laptop is much pricier thanks to AI data centers causing a dramatic increase in hard drives, ram, and other stuff that makes it hard for basically everyone. I hope at some point in the future, this hard drive and memory pricing stuff goes back down once the ai bubble bursts. I had enough of it flooding and crowding in popular platforms...
I'm not saying I have a problem everything that's tech related or is made with some kind of artificial intelligence, I'm talking about the ones that are generative and replaces jobs or steals from people and saps natural resources, like fresh water. We already have many environmental problems all around the world, we don't need another one, especially after the recent wildfire that happened this summer.

Well, enough rambling. I've been listening to several barber beats and plunderphonic songs, mostly from Lacheque and Cloaked Wanderer, someone I recently discovered in the current week.

I don't think I have anything else to say, but I do hope I finish my laptop restoration from the factory reset.

It's quite a warm-to-hot day today, but I'm glad the skies are clear. I hope we don't have to experience a drastic wildfire like that again!

What I've been doing so far is that I've been organizing a lot of stuff, and it's not just the room that I've been organizing. I'm organizing my electronics too, since there's some apps and programs I rarely or no longer use, and I could use some free space!

I've also been listening to a lot of songs that I used to listen to several years ago, starting from 2012. So much nostalgia to experience, and maybe a bit emotional too with a quarter of the songs, because some songs move me, other songs remind me of a happy time!

As for games, I'm doing the same usual set of games I play. I can't wait to see what the next season for MHA Ultra Rumble is going to be about, maybe a new character or something, I don't know what other character they could release, since I have a small list of favorite characters so far (Katsuki, Rumi, Momo, Kaina, Jin, Tenya, and Izuku).

That's all from me, hopefully I remember to post somewhere around the weekdays!

Missed on writing about something in the weekend, but hey, I was having a busy and fun weekend that time!

Sooooo, nothing much to report on. The same dailies, the same types of videos I've been watching. Music though, I've been listening to several barber beats that's made by lesser known artists, and other plunderphonic songs. For those that don't know, plunderphonics uses several samples of an existing work to make something new. I'm pretty sure most know about this, sampling is something you'll hear at least once in any song, especially mainstream songs.

This time, I'll remember to report on the weekend! I better!

It's a great day today this week. The sky is looking a bit orange-ish on my city, which is rare. But I think it's because of wildfires that's affecting the air, which means I can't go outside today, not that I plan to since I'm in no mood to step out the door this week unless it's for appointment or grocery reasons.

It looks like my computer is getting pretty slow, I'll have to do a factory reset. It's been a few years since I've factory reset my device.

Nothing much to report, mostly just rewatching people reacting to infomercials of the past and game reviews from a few creators I've subscribed to!

I'll update on the weekend, surely I'll have more to talk about then!

Feeling a tad bit nervous about the weekend, since I have a deadline to finish and I've been slacking a couple of days ago. This time I'm taking the time to prepare and do my things before the deadline hits. I thought I got rid of my procrastination thing, and trust me, I don't procrastinate as much these days, but I guess it's still something I need to curb until it's nothing more than the size of a speck.

I've been watching most of PaperBoxHouse, SnapCube, and Clown Depot's streams during the week, and been playing most of MHA: Ultra Rumble a lot this week, I just wanted to get the prizes without having to pay a single cent!

I guess that's pretty much all I can write down during this time, I have nothing much to write since I got a lot of stuff to do this week. Maybe another time when I feel like writing a few more paragraphs of what I've did so far!

The weekend is coming pretty soon, can't wait for Sunday, because I'm gonna go out and buy some stuff to make a brownie cake. Not exactly from scratch, they're from cake mixes but don't judge me! I want something to make without having to spend a dozen of dollars on a cake I might finish in a month!

Nothing much so far, just doing the same thing and listening to the same music from the same label. Diverse System, remember?
Though I have been watching a few SFM vids of creepy spooky stories. While I don't mind it much, it's funny to see TF2 models reenact whatever is being told in the original story. In fact, one of them used Bakugo's model in one of those stories in a video called something like 'Don't play the soul game' or something like that. It was a great surprise, and it was funny too because they recast him using a generic name. Like I get it but come on!

I know it's been less than a week, but I wanted to post what I've been doing, plus I wanted to write down some stuff.

Just a quick update, I've had spaghetti quesadilla last week, and lemme tell you it was great! I didn't have enough cheese last time, but I do have it now. Next time I buy the spaghetti pasta and some tomato sauce, I'll be able to make it properly this time!
