Greetings ~ Say HELLO if you are new here!

[Gnee]

Hello everyone! I go by Gnee. I grew up on forums in the mid 2000s as a kid, and some of my favorite memories entail me and my friends all making a bunch of our own forums and joining each other's all the while meeting on larger ones. Message boards are a huge part of my memories growing up, and it's sad they've largely gone away- which is what makes this particular site so appealing, especially with the way it does things. I won't wax poetic about the way things have become because I'm sure I'd be preaching to the choir. 

In my spare time, I moonlight as an artist/game developer on a two-man project called Eulogy of an Insect. As far as creating art goes, I enjoy finding ways to combine digital and traditional art mediums. I have a bachelor's degree in computer animation, and worked in the game industry for a *very* brief time, although it was just on sports titles... nothing remotely interesting. (To me, at least) However, the experience was really special while it lasted. I couldn't be happier to be away from that line of work now though, and am currently working on finishing my final semester as I complete my new degree.

I really love traditionally animated films, and every time I find a relatively obscure new gem it's a treat as movies like this are simply a lost art now. From movies like Angel's Egg to Ralph Bakshi's filmography, I love em all. Of course, I do occasionally enjoy some modern things, but I'm generally not a watcher of long series nor do I keep up with new releases very well. My favorite kind of music is industrial rock. KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, etc etc. I enjoy gaming- surprise surprise- but especially love RPGs, it's just hard to get enough of them despite how long they are. At the time of posting this, I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance and Princess Crown.

Looking forward to being part of the community

Hi all! I'm Inverness, and I like making command line games, i.e. games that you can play directly from your terminal.

As an example rebels.frittura.org . If you are so inclined, you can try without installing anything dircetly with ssh: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

I joined the forum because I'd like to move our (very small) community away from Discord and I was looking for forums online to see what kind of options were there, I've found this one and I must say I really like the vibes, so poking around :)

Hi all! I'm Inverness

Okay, speaking as somebody who was born near and lived in Inverness, I've got to ask where your handle comes from.

[inverness]

Neuromancer :) The AI is Wintermute, that username was taken when I tried to register somewhere, first thing to mind was Inverness, would love to visit the city tho!

[TeaInTheMorning]

Hello! I'm Saki (TeaInTheMorning on this part of the netosphere!). I joined this forum for the vibes (I liked lurking so much), and to possibly get help with my website (Gonna redo that soon and use a SSG, to make blogging easier!)

I made my little pfp just a bit ago! (I enjoy doing simple pixel art, though I rarely do it!)

And as for the the tag question! I am a <p> appreciator it's such a good tag ^^

Personal websites and forums are improving my enjoyment for the internet little by little!

Hope to talk with you all later!

[Warthog]

Hi, like many here I prefer forums over social media since that's what the internet used when I was first using it, and I was just thinking that websites should have more specialization and friction, so this forum appealed me with its focus and verification. Already been aware of the web revival movement and have a neocities website about my favorite Aztec deity.

Currently working on the final stretch of a web serial styled like the guide and script of a fighting game about my yet to be published fantasy setting (I only learned about the new net art movement today, but I feel it fits within that), and making very gradual progress on designing a real fighting game. Would also like to refine my website and make some more, like character shrines.

My main hobbies are reading, writing, and playing video games. If you couldn't tell already I care a lot about the story telling of fighting games and other games where it goes neglected even by most developers. I am into a lot of niche stuff in general, but also don't shy from the mainstream, though the way I enjoy it also tends to be off the beaten path enough to make me feel isolated from big fandoms regardless.

[Null]

Hello everyone!! I'm so happy to have made it here ^^
You can call me Null, I enjoy drawing, playing videogames like Minecraft, and working on my website! check it out here!! Here it is!! A random fact about me is that I have four different Shimeji desktop pets and two of them are Jon and Martin from the Magnus Archives. I hope to see you around on here soon! 

[John]

every time I remembered about the forums it was always on... A MONDAY LOL

xD I can relate to this so much. The 'Closed on Mondays' thing is charming, but I have ADD. If I decide to finally do something and it's not immediately available it'll be gone from my mind again for at least a week. : P Also the other stuff about how you did vs. how you want to engage with the internet sounds very familiar. Looking forward to reading more from you! : D

[fiddery]

[BasilABST]

Hey there!! I'm Basil. They/It please!

Sooooo.... I've been a huge fan of the old web for a while. Over where I am from, there is a big divide between the English and non-English internet, I feel. It feels a tad older, less commercialized. But it's dying out, and that little bit of the old internet is unfortunately fading. And I don't need to tell you about the state of modern social media :P

Anyways, so I found this site here and I instantly fell in love! As an artist with their own little amateur blog and niche old computer related interests, I felt like I could fit in nicely and I hope that'd be the case!! 

I'm self taught, and I mostly do digital art and miniature models. But I also occasionally do traditional doodles, 3d modeling, and writing... though I ain't doing it as much as I would want. Why so? 'cuz I am a landscaping architecutre student! Which is really great, but it unfortunately means that I have very little free time. My little site is also not really too consistently updated and I really want to refresh it. I'm hoping that I may find inspiration here for that.

Gonna close all this with a fun landscaping history fact:
Did you know that in the Renaissance period in Italy, the elite installed secret hidden fountains in their gardens that can be activated with a nearby lever? It would cause their other rich guests to get suddenly sprayed with water. I have no idea why they did it, but it is enough of a theme that I have seeb several examples from completely different gardens and a painting depicting that happening from the era.
