sweet 32-bit creatures

All of my .pet files are preserved (hooray for backups!) but I’m thinking this might be a sign to slow down. Work is about to heat up again and my spring semester has started, so I think I’m going to focus on real world stuff for a while. I might post some old gifs/screenshots/petz related material, but don’t expect much new content for a while.  

I’m not gonna try to reinstall for a bit. I’m not nearly as tech savvy as most of this community, so it takes me a while to troubleshoot things, and frankly, I have a lot on my plate right now. If anybody has tips to prevent this kind of glitch from happening again, I’d be really grateful. I’ve heard that saving the game files to My Documents tends to stabilize them or something - maybe that’s something to try this time around. 

Icon/mobile theme/desktop theme have all been changed up. The desktop theme, if anyone checks it, is a little screwy with my gif formatting but I think it fits the general vibe of the blog. The color scheme is appropriately “old web”, I feel (i.e. creeping into eyesore territory).

More importantly though, I was thinking about my old blog title: “petz is abandonware, long live petz”. I thought I was being kinda clever, but I got an ask a while back that took issue with the title. Regardless of whether or not Petz actually meets the definition of abandonware, I thought about it, and now I feel like the term had some negative implications.
