hello folks! o/
i did a lot of playing petz Back In The Day, but i can safely say that it's been more than 15 years since i really played it - if not more like 20, honestly. petz 4 was the last one i 'really kept up with', then my interest firmly darted into babyz. (apparently after not being all that interested in baby dolls when i was a kid, it all had to come out last-minute in middle school, who knew?)
i'm sure i had accounts on forums around, but i'll be honest, i don't remember my username, much less my kennel/cattery name or so on lol!
but nostalgia has a way of bringing people back. i've enjoyed recent articles on medium.com and the like about how hexxing gave girls a space to learn computer programming in an area that was not "girls get out of our video games!" but instead friendly and compelling. after seeing an acquaintance on mastodon get into the petz nostalgia, i thought "hm, i wonder if i could get it running, too...." and, well, you all know the rest from there, i'm sure!
i doubt i'm going to stick around to be a new brilliantly dedicated and top active member - for one thing, i'm disabled/chronically ill/a spoonie, so energy is very much not guaranteed lmao - but i wanted to at least pop my head in and write up how i've gotten petz 5 to play happily within windows 10. it seems pretty churlish to not share such info, after all. ^0^
you can also spot me online on: discord, calamityjanine#6649 ffxiv, Calamity Janine on Balmung twitter, @parttimesquid, primarily splatoon2/warframe talk (various other social media as well, but on twitter i try to stay pg-13; on other settings, no guarantee lol)
