Of all the communities for one of my posts to circulate in, the chronic pain community was not expected but honestly that’s even funnier than this as an elder scrolls shitpost

Neopets was fun until the Scientologists took over.
Again, Neopets was never designed or managed or run by scientologists.
The people who owned/financed the website were scientologists, which wasn’t immediately known by The Neopets Team, who later made sure not an ounce of the ideals made it onto the site.
From an AMA with one of the original Neopets co-creators:
“We found out about it about 6 months after we started working there and started googling all the employees and they were all Scientologists,” Powell, who left the company alongside Williams shortly after Viacom took over because of creative differences, explained. “It was weird, we just didn’t mention it until they hired this lady who wanted to bring Scientology onto the site. We fought that as hard as we could and they got rid of her.” Williams likewise stated in her AMA: “At one time there was some talk about putting Scientology education on the site, but we killed that idea pretty sharpish. Adam and I made sure that it never made its way onto anything site related. Religion and politics were two big no nos for us as far as site content went. Can’t say the discussions we had to keep it that way were [sic] much fun though!”
People love being like “omg neopets was scientology propaganda!!!” But rest assured it was just a fun site that people worked really hard on!
It was the sale to Viacom that really began its end.
*shrug* whenever neocash started and getting banned for talking about your page design elements abutting… because you said butt.

trained video game designers who get paid thousands of dollars for making video game: some things are way too difficult to create with this engine, you have to understand that we are very limited in our possibilities for this game
modders with a pirated version of photoshop who work full jobs outside the video game industry: hey guys I made 100 hairstyles and re-textures of 750 outfits during my lunch time. Also this female character now has proper armor and can be romanced by a female protag. I was kinda busy last night but here are 20 new complexions you can download for free
also modders: hey guys! i created an unofficial bug patch that fixed 185930 places where the game could/does crash, cuts loading time in half and restores broken dialogue and new choices to allow better avenues of conversation! please just endorse and give me feedback :)
How could they leave you out?!
This makes me sad… VIII was my favorite. SE had to lose all the code for the game…
