So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.
Some of the most important elements are already in place.
Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!
In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.
(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)
Also, no popups. That’s both retro and not retro enough. (Or were those introduced for the first round in the early 2000’s? I don’t know, I’m too young)
I like that there was no attempt to find a version that was just a little bit less dated-into-vulgarity. Straight to “common kestrel. nothing to see here”.
"Aren't there many unhappy couples, if cross species reproduction isn't very common?"
This question was posed tonight in my #ttrpg session. While I'm open to the concept in my homebrew, looking at for example base #dnd where we got Half-Orcs, Half-Elves and Half...-lings(?), I found the question very interesting and wanted to ask the wider community.
😂 Elon Musk just crawled from under a rock and discovered something that has been bothering people for years. It is just too funny not to share this one.
Wow, who’s going to sign up for Elon Musk’s risky brain implant trial? Maybe the same people who send their kids to Kanye West’s boarding school, I guess.
Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong higher-level languages have a place. C and I assume Rust are no good if you just want to hack a simple thing together. Low-level languages are bad is indeed a hot take, though, and I’ve fully bought into the Rust hype, at least vs. C/C++.
