thank you! i added my colorscheme to gimp so i can convert any image. :D i love that every project of yours has its own style. :>

definitely sounds like an image to ascii art converter was used, i know @hsquare did this recently

yeah... it's just vaguely annoying me because i cant get ascii to scale properly (it's so screen-dependant, even the slightest ratio change renders it unreadable) and i recall they'd managed it somehow which is why i thought it was a different way. hm. i guess the humble png has never steered me wrong so far

anyway dogeater isnt getting updated today but its looking much better! lots of new drawings for it. if i knew enough about coding id make them render in browser somehow but i dont so. uh. go my pngs!

there was this really sick site on here that had every image as some kind of... pixel thing?? it was all done in browser without actually being images. i dont remember what site it was or how they did it but it was very cool

comic sans! (👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉

Thank you for the comment and the follow! I will slightly disagree on the "this is what web design should be" part though. I know you meant it as a compliment but the absolutely fun thing about the indie web is that everyone's definition of web design is completely different and that is, to me, beautiful.

it's okay to be The Nothing. i am still recovering from Tomodachi April

hi nothing i'm nothing

From what I can tell, age ratings happened out of a callback to the aesthetic of having an age rating icon appear in the corner of a TV program or a game's box art. That's fine, I just hope no one forces me to do it because it seems unnecessary otherwise. Much like content warnings, it can also spoil what a creation is. Marking something as NSFW is the only rating that seems practical

On that same thought- I understand some people need content warnings anyway. I just wish others would note down warnings or assign ratings in a public database or through a browser extension, instead of making the creator stick it on their site. I value the "I have no idea what I'm getting into" factor on my site a lot

can't truly control who goes on my site, so stuff like "18+ only" warnings are more for deflecting accountability for pain that could ensue when kids do inevitably go through it. as tabf5 said, I do think warnings are part of the form/delivery of the content itself so it shouldn't be imposed on everything unless the owner decides otherwise.

mm, i agree with your point on accountability, heart. I also think warnings shouldn't really matter- I personally note my works are by and for adults, but I don't care if kids view it because A) i'm not their dad, and B) consuming different kinds of media is good for your mind. like "adult" books - if a kid wants to read Dickens, Clancy, or King, it's fine. who give a shit.

having said that, i kinda understand content warnings. i've used them on some pages because i was asked to since one contained CSA as a theme, and i have no grudge on that. but at the same time i dont think people are obliged to add them, yknow?
