Also, of course, twitter is mad at her for it. Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy
I just am suprised. Oh well, cant wait for more stale simp memes about her avatar now, lol. Still, this feels like a plot twist.
September 30, 2020
So, I think I woke up in a different timeline damaged by some time traveler. I just learned that Pokimane is a vtuber now...
Perhaps I sleepwalked into John Titor's time machine or whatever, I dunno. This is honestly a very cursed time to be alive.

Ugh, this online learning is gonna kill me. Murphy's Law states "what can go wrong will go wrong". Everything that could go wrong went wrong in some way, half of the emails I sent were about me having trouble with the app I'm using.
What's even worse is we're using Chromebooks... a computer made by the most ironic tech company ever as I have so many issues using the internet on their very limited laptop that I had to plug in my PC's keyboard and mouse just so I don't tear my hair out, and even then I have to deal with how slow and tedious simple tasks like uploading schoolwork is because of how slow of fucked up some of the apps are.
Apparently Google thinks having to jump through all kinds of hoops to save a document to the hard drive is better than saving directly to the drive. saddening

So, the guy behind Screwattack is still active. Sad to see the site go, though. I remember watching their top 10s religiously as a kid.
September 26, 2020
Okay, so I decided to stop giving a shit about the security on my WinXP VM and install psychonauts on it. I hope Virtual box doesn't freak out while running securom.

Despite what the image tells you, I'm not an emo girl
September 25, 2020
So, whenever you change the volume on a bamboo tracker note, it creates a weird cutoff effect. Gonna use that to my advantage
September 25, 2020
Alright, I'm making something using the PC-98's FM synth chip. I hope windows doesn't randomly close it.

Good time as anything to main Medic while blasting Princess Inada
September 24, 2020
TIL the Sega Genesis can do this. On another note: The FM sound chip on the console gives of a sort of surreal feeling to me. Probably because of the sound limitations
There's also a PC version of 3D Blast based off of the Saturn... it's looks worse than a console that could hardly do 3D. I guess they wanted to make it work on older or weaker machines as this was the early days of 3d graphics. Damn, PC Master race got the short end of the stick with Sonic.
Oh, and the Saturn version has that bumpin techo music that I love, hell yeah. I think it was composed by the same people as Sonic R.
September 23, 2020
I succesfully crated an account on a forum. I don't get why old forums are super hard to register to. Web 2.0 problems.
Yeah, I'm right now doing some forum hopping mostly because they seem less boring than some shitty subreddits or social media. I hope forums come back as the main place for communities and fandoms because I don't feel like signing up for a service like Facebook, just wanna make an account on some site where no one from my old classes wil ever find me and then shitpost.

So I bought a Gorillaz CD off of Ebay a while back and it came with music videos. Turns out Winamp freaks out when playing .mov files, Quicktime player I think has some troubles running on Windows 10, and I can't play them through the flash application it had (I have Mac-flash player 8 on my PC so that's weird). Well, thank god VLC has support for .mov videos.
I would use Windows Media player or Microsoft's bloatware app Movies and TV but I prefer 3rd parties since they have better compadability. Also, turns out Groove Music can't play audio CDs, bummer.

Man, don't you just hate it when webdevs stop giving a shit about user friendlyness and fill up half of the screen with cookie warnings and ads.
Another pro tip, if you're so worried about people blocking your source of income, then don't be a dick to your visitors
September 21, 2020
So today, everyone died in a TF2 match I was in so I was the only one in it. Got to push a bomb without any disturbances.
September 20, 2020
Alright, so I did some more reaserch and turns out, Web 3.0 isn't going to make the internet fun again. Damn even social media is gonna look boring, I just wanna look for creators online that aren't held back by some big corperation's draconian censorship.
September 20, 2020
Yes, I did embed the most depressing song in Gorillaz's discogrophy. Why? Because why not.
September 19, 2020
I just wanna bring attention to this part of Rebel Taxi's video. Nothing else, I just really like this edit.
Also, someone on Neocities got snapped by the FBI. Judging by my memory of it, it was probably copyright, but damn
September 17, 2020
So a smug hat kid gif made me break a tenth of a percent.
September 17, 2020
In a really old post I mentioned that I didn't have internet on my PC for a week after building it. Reason why was because I didn't buy a wifi antenna.
The modem was in the living room while my PC was in my room so I inconvinenced myself.
September 17, 2020
Well then, I didn't even know it would rain where I live. Let alone a thunderstorm happening.
September 16, 2020
I see some of those web design trend videos on youtube and... It's the saddest shit I've seen in my life. I don't usually judge a person based on their web design mostly because the amature side of things are usually done by people my age, but if your site is filled with a bunch of poWed, October 14, 2020 2:00
Pro-tip from a non-pro: If you provide a dark mode then you failed at making a user friendly design.
I get that these are considered "Cool and Hi-Technical" but they're trends, they aren't gonna age well. What's even worse is that these sites look exactly the same. Where's the creativity? If a bunch of kids on Neocities can make better looking, creative, and distinct websites in notepad, then these "professionals" can too using some software.
I just don't get why creativity and personality is deprecated in the web design community now when 10 years ago, it was the complete opposite. I guess the fun isn't allowed anymore. Bet they'll have a heart attack if they ever come across Neocities or any other of the "cities hosts". Seeing everybody having fun and value substance over style and not making websites to market their shitty products.
Good grief, I hope Web 3.0's decentralization fixes that.
September 16, 2020
I check my inbox and 90% of it is just ebay spamming my inbox. It's 2020 and these service providers havent found a way to block email adresses.
September 16, 2020
One habit I kept from my old computer is that I always close out of every app whenever I boot up a game. My old laptop had a quarter of the ram my build has so I gotta save memory somehow.
Even with games that don't even take up a gig of memory. Can't have my FPS go down by one frame
September 15, 2020
I was playing some TF2 and there were a weird amount of bots like... Imagine cheating in an XBox 360 era FPS. That's just sad
September 15, 2020
Never knew Unity had an HTML engine.
September 14, 2020
Damn, why can't Firefox keep the temproary add-ons.
September 14, 2020 - It's magic, Joel. It's magic.
Oh boy, week 2. Can't wait to have technolology troubles again while I navigate messy school sites. oh no
September 13, 2020
Like downloading steam games. I now know what it feels for someone in the 90s trying to download a David Bowie song. Microsoft Flight Sim (The game that will most likely disable my computer) weighs in at 150GB! Not only would that take out my computer upon running it; it would also take out 15% of my hard drive and most likely my internet.
But damn, those graphics look good. I can't wait for the next decade so I can run it without fearing that my CPU would burn a hole through my motherboard.

What is up with the tech community and bringing back the DS and flip phones
This is what they're doing instead of finding a way to make an internet connection that doesn't take like an hour to download a 1 gigabyte file, or Doom. Damn.
September 12, 2020
Doing my daily routine of binge watching Fact Fiend. In one video they discussed how Leonardo DiCaprio lost to an angry dwarf all because people were shitposting on message boards.
The funniest part is that this probably started the joke about how the poor italian has never won anything.
Also, I learned that there is a website dedicated to David Bowie's Buldge
September 12, 2020
Turns out, VLC has Blu Ray support.
September 10, 2020
The Follin Brothers' music is a sight to behold. You can give them Pong and they'll compose an entire symphony orchestra of FM synth sounds. Its really cool
I wonder how they managed to create all of that without blowing up the sound chips (Or the speakers for the speakers for the ZX Spectrum), like it got to the point where Miyamoto didn't even beleve the soundtrack for Plok was even possible for the Super Nintendo's SPC 700 chip to play.
September 9, 2020
Oi, back this kickstarter. This game looks so cool.
September 8, 2020
Might I reccomend A Hat in Time? It's a pretty cute game.
September 8, 2020
Hate it when I forget that I was in the middle of writing a post and get distracted by something else on the site and post some weird criptic message on my blog
September 8, 2020
On god, if my next class doesn't connect them I'm going to be all kinds of pissed
September 8, 2020
God damn, someone at either my school or Zoom made it difficult for me to join a class. I just started junior year and I'm already gonna fail because the damn thing won't automatically connect.
September 7, 2020
So, Psychonauts (CD-rom version ) kept crashing on my PC and turns out it's because Windows 10 treats Securom as a virus. Probably the only good thing to come out of microsoft in the last decade.
Hopefully there's a no cd patch for Psychonauts.
September 7, 2020
I just read some article and. How sad of a life does the writer live where he had to dennounce a punk band for being dumb and be embarrased for liking them because of it.
God, I hate cynical people who would just shit on something all bacause it doesn't meet their uptight standards.
September 6, 2020
The fact that Myspace is still up is, by far, the biggest bruh moment on the internet.
September 6, 2020
My tablet uses 6 bit color. My monitor uses 8 bit color. How does a drawing tablet have shit color? Ugh, it's too late to think about that.
Anyway, here's something I drew
September 5, 2020
The video up next sums up my reaction
September 4, 2020
There's a Neocities webring. Hope I'm eligable to join.
September 4, 2020
Well, I have the supporter membership so I wonder I should update my button
September 3, 2020
So, MTV made some series where video game characters October 14, 2020 2:00rsed
September 3, 2020 - Super Mario Galaxy nostalgia
Also, I can play sunshine for the fist time. I still have my Wii (OG model with gamecube support) but All Stars can save me from a trip to Ebay.
I remember Chuggaaconroy's lets play of it and always wanted it. It looks awesome.
Yeah, uh before anyone assumes, I'm bordering 17
I wonder if anyone looked into that glitch that Chuggaaconroy found (the hard way) When I was a littler kid I was kinda afraid to go on that brown planet fearing i might also fall through.
Anyone else like the Galaxy's aesthetic . The graphics look gorgeous even today and the dark skies (Metaphorically speaking. Most of the planets dont have an atmosphire) gives off a relaxing nightime feelling
Oh and the artwork is really cool.
September 3, 2020
I can die a happy man knowing Super Mario Galaxy is coming remastered on the switch. That game was my childhood and I'm glad kids nowadays can easily play one of the most uniqe and creative games in the series. Not to mention, experience the absolutlely fire soundtrack
Too bad Galaxy has the Half Life curse but hey two fantastic games is all I need while a third is what I want.
September 2, 2020
Today I learned this site has some compadability issues on Microsoft Browsers. Edge can't load the translucent backgrounds, text is wonky as hell in some parts, and the animates backgrounds take longer to load.
Granted most people are probably brousing this site using chrome so... not like anyone's gonna see that
September 2, 2020
So, web 3.0 looks cool. Hopefully from the news I read that means more creativity on the web.
September 2, 2020
I bought a computer monitor that had HDMI, DVI, and VGA support and the fucker only had a VGA cable in the package what the hell.
My video card has HDMI and DVI but not VGA. Does anyone even use VGA anymore?
September 2, 2020
I was browsing through steam for games I cannot afford, and I found this Newgrounds instpired fighting game and...
There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from Newgrounds and it's content (My artstyle is directly influenced by Eddsworld) but dont take inspiration from the kids who ripped music off the CDs to use in their flash game
Hearing an orchestral rendition of If and When We Rise Again by Streetlight Manifesto caught me off guard like are they even allowed to use the remix?
September 1, 2020
This site uses the MS UI Gothic font for all of it's text and the only reason why I use it is because Iosys had it back in 1998.
Hopefully 4k doesn't become the norm anytime soon because It will be a bitch getting this site prepared for that. I'm not even sure if my video card even supports 4k.
September 1, 2020
My very first post on this site said that Weebly sucked ass (Still stand by that) and I immediatly got an email from said company asking what I thought about the site.
I think they're pissed.
