Started to work on my Tamagotchi shrine and ended up in the rabbit hole of translating a 1997 Japanese book lol
See, I just wanted an original source with the lore, but apparently they never got translated or I couldn't find it...and the wiki doesn't have the same vibe, so the shrine will take time I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I knew the characters had descriptions and vaguely remembered the original user manual mentioning something else. Turns out there are several books (Japanese only) with bits of silly lore. Also series, games and comics with more. I'm as surprised as you are with this haha
(,,>ヮ<,,) Omggg!!! Is your favicon Sydney from Animal Crossing???

Oh, that's so good to hear! Glad you like her and the sprite I made :D My pixel art isn't the best out there, but if you ever want to create any small GIFs like the one in my button, you can find her spritesheet in my Gallery -> Sprites. I really love koala villagers in general, but she's one of my faves too!

I discovered your site while searching friend areas to design a shrine...and I love it! Especially the secret base decorator, as that was one of my favourite things to do. And the homemade books are such a cute concept! (っ´ω`c)♡
Your site looks so cool! The pages are so unique and inspiring, will love to spend time discovering every little corner (っ´ω`c)♡

No visual changes! Added a new script to dynamically generate the navigation and prepare the site for future common scripts. Also cleaning up, unifying styles, and making them a bit more mobile-friendly. Perfect? No. But better than not being able to interact with the content lol Games are still desktop-only, since they need a minimum width ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you! I'm always torn between making it more uniform or keeping each section a bit different. Glad to hear it's nice with all the variety (っ´ω`c)♡

I think your entire site is cohesive with the vibe, aesthetic, color palette etc. ~ But I think the sites with different layouts and structures for the various sections are a lot more fun and engaging to explore. Definitely something I'm trying to do with my own... I want each shrine I make to be unique. xD But it is it's own challenge haha

Ah, shrines are great to do that! Each interest has its own type of content and each creator their own view of it, so it's always cool to see what others come up with. Will love to see yours!
Your site is so cool! Definitely inspiring and relatable on the code maintainability lol Will love to check it again in the future to discover new things and to come up with new projects for myself! (っ´ω`c)♡
