It only took a few minutes but I redid my 404 page to be more "authentic" to the Gameboy Camera error screens it was based on. I turned off autoplay but it still loops if you play it. https://hardmachine.neocities.org/not_found

That 404 was one of the first pages I made... (Also has autoplay to emulate the Gameboy Camera error experience, sorry)

I'm still not sure if I'll do much this year since I was told I'll be re-employed soon, but I set up my Artfight today; I mainly wanted to do it to draw art for friends + acquaintences + etc. https://artfight.net/~capywins

Right!?! Logically I can understand that being told "you should sell this!" is a compliment but the idea of selling the things I make would take all the fun out of making them, not to mention devaluing the time they took to make

A lot of people I know are getting rampaged by bugs this year. Extreme weather temps bring them inside unfortunately :/ Also my mom does the same thing with me! I'll send her a picture I drew and she'll be like, "Ooh this would make a great card design!" She's alway thinking about how to make money, I hate it lmao. Good luck with your interview!

Just putting it out there.. but if you cant find any insects, could they actually be bedbugs? I've been getting harassed by mosquitoes lately and it's no fun. The thought of you suffering even worse every night, with no known cause, is just terrible to me. Hopefully it wont mess with your interview though! You got this!!!

Gotta feel bad seeing teens online yearning for art careers when they get older. Insanely oversatured field, continually devalued by the progression of generative AI and jealously kept by those already in-industry (same roster of LA-based boarders/designers/animators etc on every production and everything else outsourced to Korea). Cases where people break through the noise with indie projects like vivziepop are >

< literally one in a million. If you do art at all, you gotta figure out a way to just do it for your own self-satisfaction, nothing else. I have 20 followers on Tumblr and anything I put there accumulates like, 2 notes if I'm lucky. It totally has to be for its own sake. I hope you feel like making something again someday and when you do, it'll be like "well, that was nice".

Not to be a hater but Vivzie was a nepo baby, that's why her dA Tumblr cartoon got off the ground and had actual skill on board... It's unfair but this is how it is.

Please clap: I was adjusting these pages for typos/minor formatting errors, but on the Klonoa page I was finally able to see images in VSC by making the filepaths "../img/[file]". (I didn't work when I did that the first time, but does now. Ok...)

idk about yall but I personally think it's character building to be 6-8 years old and jumpscared by the "who are you running from?" screen with creepy music and an ugly vandalized portrait.
Well that’s terrifying lmao good job!
