Wonder if I should try building a site with some actual purpose/mission. Been toying with the idea of a "deinfluencing" site intended to deprogram consumerist mindsets, expose advertising tricks, discuss sustainability etc but I don't think I'd have any hope of reaching the audience who needs it most.

Because I have also been (casually) bodybuilding/gymming for the better part of a decade, I also thought about doing barebones reviews of protein products ("Does It Taste Like Dirt", using a rating scale of 0 to 5 dirts, the less dirts a product has the better it tastes).

Having a "whatever" personal site sitting there is all well and fine, I like it being there and I like looking at other people's, but... you know.

Not something for me, but it sounds like a good idea to make, even if it's just for yourself and a handful of people that might find it.

If you were to do guides on gymming/training or ideal exercises focusing certain parts of the body, that'd be up my alley. I'm looking for more exercises that focus on my lower body, but without putting pressure on my back because of a back injury.

That's certainly something I'd have bookmarked if you ever go ahead with it. But I get what you're saying about the ones that need it probably wouldn't be choosing to visit, but others that are aware can use it as a resource perhaps to show others? idk

I think both of those ideas sound great and many people would probably benefit from them! The "dirt scale" sounds hilarious too.

my site started purely for personal stuff but i've had a lot of fun trying to include things others might find useful. both an anti-consumerist or protein product guide sound interesting to me.

@tojisworld - That's a fun idea! I'm not a PT or anything, but I have been through a few sports injuries (fucked up my lower back on a hack squat machine and plantar fasciitis, both needed physio) so I'd like to research and slowly formulate some beginner-to-intermediate resistance training programs...

Thank you for your pieces of feedback by the way, it's very helpful to me figuring out where to go next.

I like the idea of "deinfluencing" and I'd love to see it become realized! While it might struggle to reach the audience who needs it, I think having it in the first place is a good first step.

I don't often engage in forum posts like this but I hate advertising with such a passion, the psychological implications of consumerism and overabundance of advertising is gonna be a major topic in psychology in the next couple decades, so this is important work, even just laying the groundwork for some conversations about it is progress.

Got a little more selective about my husbando/waifu wall and decided to be honest with myself and add Konata and Cleo... Would have liked to do a "runner's up" thing but I think it would look too excessive.

sakana 1 year ago

But for anyone interested, runner's up: Guzma (Pokemon Sun/Moon), R. Dorothy Wayneright (The Big O), Lyude (Baten Kaitos), Hanon Hosho (Mermaid Melody), Midorikawa Hana (Prison School), Reigen (Mob Psycho 100), Drossel Von Flugel (Fireball), Nikaido (Dorohedoro)

If I have missed you, please don't be shy to let me know - sometimes you don't make a site banner until later, sometimes I miss it, sometimes I miss new mutuals since Neocities changed how it handles "new followers" notifs. It's totally fine!

This collection is over 100 now, I hope to keep adding to it. Collecting these pixel dolls makes me really want to get back into doing pixel art, but then I quickly talk myself out of it because there's nowhere really left on the internet for pixel art.

Twitter is a dying platform that severely compresses and artifacts pixel art. Tumblr is better but still displays art below its minimum dimensions very strangely, especially on mobile devices, which everybody uses instead of desktop PCs.

Redid about and pets to be more low-key and appear in the iframe, removed the tile bg because it felt too overwhelming, I don't know what to do with anything anymore. Doesn't really matter.

The blue tonkinese boy in my "cats" page passed away far too young this morning. I wanted to provide a reminder to REALLY monitor your pets and take changes in their patterns seriously. This may have been treatable, but a horrible coincidence meant nobody picked it up sooner.

His only symptom (reduced eating) arose at the same time we had to switch his food because they discontinued the flavor & brand he liked. It was easy to assume it was just because he hated the new food, so we kept trying different stuff. By the time he stopped eating 100% and we went "oh shit" it was too late. Thousands of $ on tests, IV therapy, antibiotics etc and he still didn't pull through.

Not sure if any of my Neo mutuals follow Joel G's projects, but ENA's new Dream BBQ trailer has been living rent free in my head since it released yesterday. It's just such a masterpiece. When this game gets released, I just know it's going to infect my brain and be all I'll think about for a while.

I haven't been this amped about a release since UNDERTALE (I was involved with it since its Kickstarter days, and went around proselytizing the project to everyone who would listen).

Neo mutual who does here. I was amazed by the music as usual. The game will be a great experience. The Dream BBQ world feels much warmer and richer than the previos iteration of ENA, so it's gonna be great.

In terms of anime... Widely-loved anime darlings that everyone loves but I think are terrible = Attack on Titan, Welcome to the NHK, Belle (movie). Anime everyone universally hates but that I love with every fiber of my being = Aku no Hana.

I thought the rotoscoping was a bold choice, and the slight ugliness really sells the oppressive atmosphere! The OST is incredible. Totally agree with tojisworld also, even if my issues with Belle run deep it's still a more fitting title.
