This site reminds me of the time in my life when I’d spend hours customizing the windows 3.1 desktops, sounds, icons, and fonts and whatnot. It causes me to exist in a parallel narrative where that kid never stopped doing that, just kept right up contorting that space into whatever technicolor fever scenario I could come up with week after week. Thank you for allowing me to explore that narrative space for a while.

I'm glad. I was hoping that I would not offend you with my interpretation. I'm always trying to cut through the neocities community to find people from our generation. So I always enjoy when I finally land on it.

your layouts are so awesome... they make me feel a very specific kind of nostalgia LOL they remind me of browsing through deviantart graphic design groups for hours and hours when i was a kid... i feel like ur designs have that 2014 essence but in the best way possible. they are so fun and shiny
