gabi's personal site on neocities

nothing overly groundbreaking, but i spent a decent amount of time on it. lotsa stuff is still under construction. if anyone has any advice on elevating it, lemme know.

The design is fine as it is. I like the cover songs, without knowing the originals. The Mother "shrine" is also pretty well made - it emits a bit of the charm you see in the game, and is one of the few examples of this category of page that actually spurred me to try out the thing it is about.

Also, about the King of Fighters: Are you good? :D I played KoF '98 a few times and loved it, but I suck.

This is entirely your choice of course but I genuinely can't look at your site for more than 5 seconds and read anything due to your background gif. Perhaps you can use a regular still image of the same effect?

I agree, the default full background animation is really hard to look at and hurts my eyes. I think it could trigger migraines or seizures due to the rapid flickering of the white parts of the static- I messed around with the tile size of the background, and making it larger didn't help but making it VERY small (1%) did. It still hurts to focus on the background, but it's a bit easier to ignore at that size, making the rest of the site at least readable. I see you have a splash page (your "enter" page)- if you want to keep the animation, I'd put a warning for rapidly moving images.
I didn't realize until poking around on your site that the big pink button is actually a toggle for the background! You may want to make this more obvious, or at the very least reverse the order so that the default theme is "light" instead of "dark".
I think another alternative for readability's sake, if you wanted to keep the animation, is just reducing the area that the static is displayed. Instead of having a huge chunk of your background display static, keep it in the borders of your divs. I think this looks nice, though it may not be what you're going for (u_u)
Here's a mockup:

I added this to your section and headers

Code

border-image: var(--bg-image) 10 repeat;
  border-width: 10px;
  border-style: solid;

That's pretty much the only critique I have though, the rest of your layout looks great!

I'm okayish at XV, but playing KoF in say, matchmaking, is kinda really hard these days since there's few people still playing who aren't insanely skilled oldheads lol

I've played a fair bit of 98 but i'm not amazing at it. What are your team(s)? My 98 team is usually Iori, Kyo, and Chris, and my 15 team is usually Kyo, Iori, Shingo.

YESSS my Mother 1 propaganda worked >:) What version/patch/etc of the game did you try?

yall are right, i should probably add a warning/toggle to the landing page :') the DEATH button as a toggle isn't as obvious as it ought to be since i kinda added it as a lil easter egg. sorry yall had to look at that lol
