New Site, New Look

I was thinking of how to inaugurate this first blog post, seeing as how it'll be lonely probably for a week or so. I want to try and keep up to date with these things weekly. So I figured it'd be best to talk about the site going forward in case you actually use it and click on this and read it:

[Updates]:

- New grunge theme, primarily inspired by Metal Archives, but also N.W.O. Wrestling and Id Software's old sites circa 2000 to 2008. Y2K theme meant to match the Emo/Goth vibe.

- Archives coming soon with stuff to download, mainly old programs and files of importance, they'll be hosted over on MEGA but I might try to see if the programs can be hosted on the server.

- Working on getting extensions for Profile customization, custom Bluesky handles and a chat program built in so people can bitch at each other. Would be neat.

- Not going to be mobile friendly ever, I've accepted that it’ll stunt use of it since most people here became adults after the pandemic. However, if it can happen I'll do it I just don't want to compromise in making this a web development heavy site either. The Vibe here is something beautiful to be maintained like a safe haven, that is my artistic philosophy.

- More appropriate y2k icons for sure soon.


I've taken to trying to make up for lost time by getting back into older content and even create in older art styles. One of these has been a path through old media in the flash space and goth space. A long time coming has been my re-watching of classic series Foamy the Squirrel. Laden with the problems typical rant centered content (over importance on ultimately meaningless problems, trying to make a point and sound profound, centrist libertarian individualistic garbage) and the usual pit falls of the emo/goth community at the time (rampant edginess, unfunny homophobia and racism mostly lmao) a good chunk of it still withstands the test of time.

Illwillpress and his website were big inspirations for me growing up and inspired by desire to create my own unique web space for sure. Even now, Jim's sites' overly graphic nature (while also remaining incredibly mobile friendly and compact) is a thing to be in awe at when many sites favour looking like Shitter and not using 80% of the available space just because they consider web development secondary. Hopefully soon he can die or turn away from trying to AI generate garbage art and music and get back to creating something worth while like that again.
