About Me

A book reviewer by choice, a geek by definition, and busy by trade.

How I Can Help

I am always up for learning new things. That said, I also have a laundry list of skills that I enjoy dusting off on occasion and thrill in the resulting "How do you know that?" that routinely follows.

Interests

Books, film, creating, mechanics, baking, and all sorts of stuff in between.

I actually really enjoy this site! I've had a few bad experiences with other players, but mainly this is a fun site with amazing art, great forums, and a variety of ways to play. There are some adult players who try to take advantage of newer players, but overall the community is generous, open, and supportive. There is a forum called the Comfort Corner that helps players by letting them post their issues and other players frequently gift and give away pets for free! It is free to join, free to play, and honestly you can get really far without ever spending a cent (though it does offer in-game purchases). I've quit a few times, but keep coming back. I love that it hasn't really changed much in all the time I've been on this site. It really is a peaceful place to destress!

Tip for consumers:
Use the "Fair Trade" forums when you start trading. They will give you the best advice and make sure you don't get scammed.

Check the adoption centers for free pets to get a start on your collection! Just remember to follow their rules.

Always adopt the maximum allowed pets, even if you don't like that species. You can always use them to trade for the pets you do want!

Howrse used to be fun. (Anyone remember the classic yellow background, or is that just me?) It used to be completely free to play, had good forums, and honestly was where I used to spend hours with my pixel ponies. Then it started requiring purchases just to progress. Now, who knows? It is not the same site I fell in love with, and hasn't been for quite some time. The systems keep changing and what once was free has now become a way to scam horse lovers. I've tried going back several times, only to be disappointed repeatedly. Honestly, its sad how boring this game has become. Best save your time and frustration and look elsewhere for an animal game that does care about its players, rather than revenue.

Tip for consumers:
Think about what you want from this game. Then do a quick search for that!

Verified purchase

I ordered a grab bag of shirts in a variety of sizes for (almost) everyone in the house, and was not disappointed! Everyone got something, everything fit, and it all came in time. One shirt was an obvious misprint, but that added to it's charm. I claimed that one right off the bat! Thoroughly content with the result!
