    Besides pet sites, do you own other websites?

    I've owned ROFLMAO - a general Discussion forum, since August 8th, 2024. It was under a previous name at that time, but I later settled on a better name to garner a wider audience.

    Tempest: Php framework

    I'll have to look into this. One thing that piqued my interest in XF over other template engines is accessibility. Wouldn't it be great to create a game for people with disabilities? The XF template framework has that built in. I would need to examine if Tempest has the same accessibility...

    ☁️🌈My Dream Pony - Under Development

    You first need to schedule it that fits your game. Like, would the item be something unique that you'd want to pass out once a week, or once a month, for instance. Once you determine when you want to throw the item out there, you need to create some sort of script to create and place it (where...

    What's The Best Virtual Pet Community?

    Agreed. It has brought back fond memories of my "pet" site and I have a collection of ideas off in a side-project folder to possibly work on one in my free time. I was looking for the best template system to run as a base so I don't need to manage a ton of code, and had it down to two. That...

    Are referral systems a vital feature for games to have?

    This is pretty unique. Looks like they took another industry's model and it's working out well for them.

    How Do You Feel About Reality TV? Love It or Hate It?

    I meant more scripted in the sense that they go out on all 9-11 calls, but only play the most entertaining. Otherwise, it'd be pretty boring.

    Should games include a bank system that rewards players with interest for saving their points?

    As far as my game went, I introduced a banking system. This is because you could "steal" a certain amount of currency from another player if you won the bout. In order to protect the main cash a player is saving for a new item, they could deposit it into the bank instead of having it on hand...

    What are some of your favorite foods?

    You can never beat homemade! Especially, if you have a good family recipe.

    Any dead musician you wished to see alive today?

    I saw Emily Armstrong try to do Chester's 17-second scream during their debut live... I don't think it's going to happen. She got like a gracious 12 seconds, if I counted correctly.

    What are you currently listening to?

    I'm currently listening to an Eminem track that I didn't know existed. The Way I Am feat. Marilyn Manson and remixed by Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails.

    Cryptocurrency

    AMC just dumped 50 million shares on the market, killing a short squeeze yet again at a 50/200 bullish cross. So, it's now prolonged...

    What are the hygiene tips that many overlook?

    I would say deep cleaning of ears. You can easily get the surface stuff with a Q-tip, but to get deep you need a pick/scoop tool. If you're not used to doing it, it hurts at first because that skin is so sensitive. I neglect to do a deeper clean because I just can't stand that feeling after a...

    What are some of your favorite foods?

    Boy, could I go for some lasagna now. It's not really on the menu and just kind of pops up at buffets from time to time.

    First day at work?

    I was always nervous, but confident in my abilities to do the task right the second time I saw how they wanted it done, and within a week I'm in the groove of things doing everything as expected. The nervousness always wore off pretty quickly, like within the first few hours. It's more of...
