Yeah, this is basically early digital art. Something you'd see in a 90s PC game

Oh boy, here we go:

  • Websites that almost exclusively bright graphics for everything is bad for when I'm viewing it at night
  • Bad contrast between the text and the background (another issue that the first type of sites tends to have) It's mostly a comfort thing to me since I hate squinting
  • Flash sites are only good for game worlds or if it's emulated. Or at least let me access an HTML version
  • Sites intentionally being slow to load to "emulate the old web's slowness". My PC is mid tier however my internet is shit

From my prospective, this forum feels like a group of people that feel down by the modern world and would puffer using old technology over a new product.

Next is the modern internet. there is cancel culture, or what about how YouTube, twitter, and anything you can talk about your opinions warped the public perception on pretty much everything, and the negative health effects on the addictive nature of social media. All terrible, But yet again, we are thinking negative about this because man kind is programmed to look at negative stuff more quickly. This makes the modern world seem worse off than before, because so much stuff is thrown at your face so quickly you would already notice how much bad there is. Think about it! If there is more bad things we see than good, our limit on how much negative information we can handle can get there really quickly! This leads to a lot of really nasty side effects which I don't wanna talk about.

To be fair, some people can be a little nostalgia blind, and seem to only look at the negatives of today. The past is just as bad as the present. It's just the present is a different type of bad. I would look at the 2000s-10s as a simpler time but that's because I wasn't aware of what was actually going on.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree with a lot of the points in many of the topics, like the Social media is dangerous topic, or the replies on my Cloud Gaming topic. But even with that I still feel a little out of place at times. I never used mix tapes, I never really watched anything on VHS, and what is a IRC? So much stuff that I don't have answers to.
This makes me think about what stuff I have missed before I was even born, and a chunk of the stuff I see here are things I don't even understand! Am I not supposed to be here? Will I be made fun of for using this site?

No need to feel out of place. I can't use DOS, my first OS was Windows XP, Most adults I know would rather stream music or download it instead of buying CDs, I don't think any of us ever ordered a pizza on a rotary dial phone.

If people take issue with the fact that you didn't have the same childhood as them. They're the ignorant ones, not you.
Besides, as Melonking said, this is mostly for indie projects rather than nostalgia.

Ratchet and clank for the PS2. I sill have the disk, just need to fix up my playstation.

That was in 2007, or so, so I was around 3-4.

I guess you're right! I can think of one nice looking site that's made / hosted on Weebly. However, when I work with it the editor is so laggy, everything is so huge and wide, there's so much trackers and javascript, and whenever I want to do something simple I have to click and drag laggy items instead of just write it in code...

That's where the "In theory" part comes from. Weebly is probably the only one aside from static hosts that supports editing more complex stuff on a website on a free plan, but god did they really drop the ball on actually making it user friendly.


22
Even though the Geocities early internet stuff was before my time, it was fun to just go crazy with HTML and nonsense, and make something a popular modern site-builder like Weebly or Wix could never make. I love sites like that, and I was proud that I could make one!

Personal web and nostalgia are not the same thing. Building a website is not nostalgia, it is the future. We are not reliving the old web, we are creating a new one, and taking back the web from corporations trying to sell us social networks.


Weebly can make a creative looking website... in theory

Has "toxic professionalism" been coined yet? Because honestly that sums up the current mainstream internet landscape.

Did you compose the music or did someone else do it?

I'm looking to learn C++ so I can make PC games. Aside from getting the window to work, I don't really know where to start so I'm here asking for recommendations.


25
SO I assume you mean forms and not forums? (Quite different things!)

If you're really just looking for a google forms alternative, Im less of an expert on that, I'm sure someone will comment with more specific recommendations, but there are a few options I can see here: https://alternativeto.net/software/google-forms/?license=free (Microsoft Forms & SurveyJS might be the closest) maybe you'll spot one that suits you

I just noticed the misspell right when I woke up.
Survey.JS looks interesting. I might use that

If that doesn't work then I could turn the LinxMax topic into a submissions thread

I like to add to this:

Found this sample pack online
This Jungle Sound pack was provided by an old school DJ

Before I came across Neocities while looking for Touhou fansites, I used to use Weebly.

The platform was awful. It was slow as hell, the HTML and CSS kept glitching, I could only upload pictures because anything over a megabyte was restricted on the free plan and the drag n' drop features were limiting at times.

It was refreshing to actually be able to use dreamweaver not as a reference, but as an actual workspace when I jumped ship to the cat site.

For my link directory, I will periodically set up submissions for websites created by people or found by people and the last service I used (Google Forms) locked me out of my account and won't let me back in.

I'm stuck now and am wondering if there's a service similar to that.

  • I leave out certain features such as belly buttons, the details in the ear lobes, and eyebrows unless the character is emoting
  • I randomly give characters sharp teeth

⛺︎ ∙ Cinema / Sealab 2021 intro is so short
« on: February 08, 2022, 05:29:19 am »
Been watching Sealab 2021 instead of paying attention in school and I wanted to listen to a full version of the intro tune.
Turns out. There isn't one (At lest one that's publicly available). Just the 40 second long intro song. :'(


I wonder if there's a full song buried in Adult Swim's archives.
