If you were a kid in the 2000s who had access to a computer, you definitely have some strong thoughts about Neopets.
The first difficult decision a child had to make when entering the wonderful world of Neopia was deciding on which pet to customise. Once you created the cutest Neopet imaginable (it was always a pastel blue Poogle or a pink Bruce, by the way), you’d then spend your days learning about capitalism by slaving away in Neopia to earn some sweet, sweet Neopoints.
I spent days earning Neopets avatars and I regret nothing

When I was a youngin’ on Neopets, my favorite aspect of the game was collecting “secret avatars.” These avatars were how players would represent themselves on the Neopets message boards; avatars that were harder to earn came with tons of clout. You’d need specific pets in specific colors to earn some of the avatars, high scores in games for others, and just pure dumb luck for a chunk of them.
As an adult, I still play Neopets sometimes, and these avatars still appeal to me. Maybe that’s why I decided to try and grind for all these pixel icons before Google Chrome stopped supporting Flash. I didn’t want to think back on my neo-life with neo-regrets.
