I can't do anything for MLP:FIM's 15th anniversary today because I'm going to run around the gayborhood again tonight.
Updating my art galleries also legitimately makes me want to blow my brains out. If anyone has advice, feel free to email me about it.
I discovered werewolf-girlfriend's (static) gallery template and it looks really good, I just do not have energy to sit at my desk and ~code~ anymore 😢 https://werewolf-girlfriend.itch.io/website-gallery-template
I've also been making Littlest Pet Shop customs lately but I haven't taken photos yet. Maybe that will be a motivator to test W-GF's template.
They need to invent a way to add new entries to a gallery page that doesn't feel like pulling teeth. (I use IRFANVIEW to make my galleries on some of my other sites - you just select everything, right click and "save as HTML" and it'll do it all for you - but adding new images after the fact requires doing the whole process over again).
It's not updating a gallery I have issues with, but it gets exhausting to compress files, upload to NC, code, then upload it. And my gallery template is too bloated to add more to, but I don't have the time and energy to fiddle with a new template or make one.
I'm genuinely so happy to hear about all the awesome irl stuff you've been up to, Capy :) often i go offline and feel like i do so much, and come back to the online spaces and realise that everyone is rehashing the exact same arguments & nonsense as if no time has past lmaoooo always puts things into perspective for me.
I'm still struggling, but the internet makes it worse and outside spaces weed out "online 24/7" types. The cycle ended up repeating the day after I published this, I was at the club on Friday and woke up to someone leaving a rude comment in my inbox elsewhere... Thanks for proving my point!
Corrected some typos and syntax. I'm debating on rewriting or SPAG-checking old pages, but it's probably better to leave them alone...
For those who don't know Bsky or Tumblr, I decided I like Littlest Pet Shop toys now and spent my day off trying to find a capybara. I failed.
If any politically savvy types are wondering why I didn't cover the Whitewater controversy, it's because I had enough on my plate when it came to research and fact-checking.
If the main focus was too depressing, I also have a palette cleanser... https://hardmachine.neocities.org/runes/capymailbag.html
I spent last night running around my nearest city's gayborhood while drunk. The internet is a lot less cool than real life was 20 hours ago.
Extremely delayed bulk update due to work, health issues, and some other things I'll touch on in a future update.
Highlights: https://hardmachine.neocities.org/shrine/baraduke#updoot, https://hardmachine.neocities.org/art/notmine.html, and https://hardmachine.neocities.org/links.html
The updoot happened (almost) 4 weeks ago, but the moment it happened I immediately thought "god damn it, now I really do have to pick HM back up..."
Weird double standard when I don't care about the dithering effect that it has on my art or official things like screenshots, but whatever.
I'm writing a journal to cross-post on various art sites+probably DW, but I've accepted the internet has changed. Last time I went to a con, people still used LJ. But I've been using my Bsky account even though I'm waffling on a handle (don't feel like using NC url). If I'm going to interact with local stuff I have to not be a complete lunatic, LMFAO
Side note, I'm not a Hazbinnie but there was a lot of Hellaverse stuff there... Which reminds me that even though I'm on hiatus / have creative block, a review of Hazbin season 2 is something I can confirm will happen when it drops LOL
I took the review I did for Game Change (HBO drama based on the 2008 election) offline for a few days because I finished the book last week and thought deleting it would motivate me to update with how I felt about that. It didn't, I have such little interest in upkeeping this site. Not a loss because I really want to forget about this political climate.
I'm really not feeling the love creativity-wise anymore, and the past 15 months on top of how much of a pain it is to upload/update my art, I'm really tired. This is why I've been slow to respond to emails, I'm really frustrated and tired of this sphere lately.
If I wasn't such a workaholic I'd take this as a cue to look into Github push updates, but I don't even care at this point. I'll upload art drawn for me last month some other time. Most of it is on Toyhouse minus one OC I've been hiding. https://toyhou.se/ratacombs
(The updated version of my Game Change review will go back online, I just want to post other things first...)
TL;DR: I drew too many things to repost on 4 different art sites, anyone I drew art for is free to repost it and if you use Toyhouse you can credit my account: https://toyhou.se/ratacombs
I really don't have the energy to go back and make my site completely accessible with alt tags or images disabled, but I tried to fix the latest rune anyway. Also there was a glaring typo I missed.
Organizing the original and fanart galleries makes me want to blow my brains out. Unfortunately that urge isn't enough to make me start those OC galleries I said I would do for over a year.
Main focus: https://hardmachine.neocities.org/art/artfight.html and https://hardmachine.neocities.org/runes/rainedog.html
I'll probably upload AF attacks for me at the end of the month, I am... Very tired lol. My hours will be normaler next week.
I also need to look into a different Javascript gallery because the one I currently use is annoying as fuck... Sigh...
I admit I've had no energy to browse or comment etc. myself, same with other "old school" sites I used to invest in like Dreamwidth :( It's just work, work, work and I also have just wanted to log off more lately.
I also noticed that. Why has it's become little bit harder for us maintain and get started personal web by technology advances? =(
I've been noticing that as well, and figured I accidentally followed a bunch of dead sites or something. Similiar to other comments, I have been also getting increasingly more exhausted by modern internet lately, to the point I feel that I need to tread carefully when exploring. Any more my personal computer is a resource to draw and write, but not connect with others. It's very disheartening.
yeah, personally, it's partially that i've gotten a job at the beginning of the year and thus had less time for ~activities~, but also a bit of burnout mixed in. it is very sad the social media has just made it so much more difficult to actually connect with other people or want to do much of anything, at all... [typo, rip]
When it comes to online, I'm just tired of the atmosphere. I tried to use my Facebook account in my "log off" quest, ran into bots. Tried to make an art blog on Tumblr, my only note currently was a bot reply. Everything is fake and just bloated with this new tech. Even more obscure spaces I used to enjoy I notice act similar to the rumored Russian troll farms from 2016...
I've lost a lot of interest in coding even if I wasn't spending the last year as a workholic due to circumstances. It currently doesn't feel worth investing in when so much of it is the same insanity or surface-level aesthetics as the "bad" mainstream sites. Even if you leave those sites, the behavior carries over since most users online are zoomers and young millennials under 35 who had that as their normal.
I'm not going to leave or delete anything, but I just need to blow off steam and it feels like genuine activity here and other hosts really has dipped in the last year :(
I've definitely felt burnt out, but I'd like to get back into my site! I have ideas for a new layout, it's just a matter of time and inspiration ;_; I definitely agree with you on the atmosphere of being online, too. It's so boring.
I feel like a traitor because wagie antics and real life have led to spending less time on NC, and more time on Tumblr, Dreamwidth, Furaffinity, and Discord because it's "low energy"... I'm sorry!!!
I forgot to upload an image to "But is it really?" - Refresh if you saw it with a whole ass missing part...
Just as a note, my work schedule has been driving me crazy so while I plan to branch out with attacks this year (I only drew for people I knew in 2024), I can't predict the future lol 😭

I was saving "get a domain name" for whenever I switch hosts, but idk when that is... But my third eye opened now.
(Side note: I have a new page drafted about a band I have a complicated relationship with. Not sure if it'll get off the ground.)
People who follow my Tumblr or Bluesky know. Everyone else... Keep guessing.
